[UPDATE: From a June 1, 2010 email RE Dr.
Paul:
Israeli Consulate General Andrew Parker in Jerusalem...said that Paul is alive and seriously beaten. Paul told him to call us so this is the closest contact we've had so far. He asked us to spread the word as much as possible...He silently refused to follow Israeli orders so they beat him. Now he's being held in prison...He's in the same room with the captain of the boat. The have no windows, no telephone, nothing. He refused treatment by Israeli doctors, and only let the ship doctor give him aspirin.]
