The Greek police have arrested one of the Freedom Flotilla's captains as he was trying to leave a Greek port without permission, News.am reports.

 Greece on Friday banned ships heading to the Gaza Strip from leaving Greek ports, Hurriyet Daily News previously reported.

 A flotilla of nine Greek and foreign-flagged vessels and several hundred activists have said they want to break Israel's sea blockade and deliver aid to the Palestinian territory.
