The findings emerged as more survivors gave their accounts of the raids. Ismail Patel, the chairman of Leicester-based pro-Palestinian group Friends of al-Aqsa, who returned to Britain today, told how he witnessed some of the fatal shootings and claimed that Israel had operated a "shoot to kill policy".

Grigoropoulos, who insisted the ship was full of humanitarian aid bound for Gaza "and nothing more", said that, once detained, the human rights activists were not allowed to contact a lawyer or the Greek embassy in Tel Aviv.

Grigoropoulos added: "They didn't let us go to the toilet, eat or drink water and throughout they videoed us. They confiscated everything, mobile phones, laptops, cameras and personal effects. They only allowed us to keep our papers."

The UN Human Rights Council passed a resolution setting up an independent fact-finding mission to investigate the incident. The resolution condemned what it called the "outrageous attack" on the flotilla and called for the lifting of the blockade on Gaza.
Think not of those who are killed in the Way of Allâh as dead.
Nay, they are alive, with their Lord, and they have provision.They rejoice in what Allâh has bestowed upon them of His Bounty and rejoice for the sake of those who have not yet joined them, but are left behind (not yet martyred) that on them no fear shall come, nor shall they grieve.They rejoice in a Grace and a Bounty from Allâh, and that Allâh will not waste the reward of the believers.
