UK Resident TRAPPED In Gaza

When will Egypt STOP behaving like Israeli Agents? Evidently Israel has more than one way to censor free expression and Egypt assists them. A Palestinian born playwright and UK resident entered Gaza through the Rafah border and is now being refused exit at Rafah by Egypt, effectively trapping him inside Gaza. His play, titled "Go to Gaza, Drink the Sea" opened in London in February and he was due to be in Edinburgh this week for rehearsals there.

A PALESTINIAN playwright whose Fringe play tells of the Israeli assault on the Palestinian territory of Gaza has become trapped there on his first visit in seven years.
Ahmed Masoud is a UK resident whose wife is expecting their first child in October. He went to Gaza to visit his mother after a cancer operation and has been unable to leave.

His play, Go to Gaza, Drink the Sea, opened in London in February, just after the Israeli military operation in Gaza, blamed for the loss of more than 1,000 Palestinian lives.

Masoud, who has a Palestinian passport, but is a legal British resident, got into Gaza when the Rafah border crossing from Egypt was briefly opened. When he tried to leave by the same route, he was turned away.

He was due in Edinburgh for rehearsals this week. The play opens on 6 August. source
