Galloway deported from Egypt and denied re-entry to Gaza

GEORGE Galloway has been deported from Cairo despite wanting to return to Gaza to help members of a humanitarian convoy who have reportedly been arrested, a convoy spokeswoman said.

Plain clothes police officers bundled the Respect MP on to a plane bound for London, said a spokeswoman for the Viva Palestina convoy.

The aid convoy of 550 people from 17 countries has been caught up in violent scenes which it blamed on “heavy-handed policing” of the group.
