BRITISH peace activists are being held in "appalling" conditions in an Israeli prison after being detained on a boat carrying aid to Gaza, their supporters said.
A group of 21 campaigners – including Nobel peace laureate Mairead Maguire from Northern Ireland, former US Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney and Theresa McDermott from Scotland – were seized off the coast of Gaza on Tuesday.
