“Israel” Detains, Denies Entry to Mairead Maguire, Nobel Laureate
The "Israeli" Army detained Tuesday Irish Nobel Prize laureate, Mairead Maguire, at the Ben-Gurion Airport, and refused to allow her into the occupied Palestinian territories (OPT). She was later on escorted to a flight bound to Britain despite legal appeals to allow her into the country.
In 1967, Maguire was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her work against sectarian violence in Northern Ireland.
The Nobel Prize laureate flew to the OPT on Tuesday morning, accompanied by a peace delegation of women, including five other Nobel Peace Prize laureates.
"Israel" previously issued a permanent order banning Maguire from entering the country for her participating in solidarity flotillas sending humanitarian aid to the besieged Gaza Strip.
She was one of the human rights activists who were on the "Rachel Corrie" solidarity ship that was seized by "Israel" in May this year.
Two years ago, Maguire voiced a sharp criticism to "Israel" for ignoring all international community resolutions calling for ending "Israel's" occupation in Palestine. She also called for removing "Israel" from the United Nations for its ongoing violations to Human Rights.
Judy Williams, an American Nobel Prize recipient, who intended to be part of the delegation with Maguire, stated that preventing entry to Maguire is of a great concern to the people who dedicate their lives for peace.
