nine members of the viva palestina convoy - delivering humanitarian aid to gaza - were arrested last night under anti-terrorist legislation. six have now been released but without passports. three from burnley are still held; plus the ambulance they were driving.
The BBC are scanadlously uncritically reporting the arrests as terrorists.
so its ok as far as the BBC are concerned to report Israels onslaught on the palestinians as a legitimate conflict - and its ok for the UK to supply arms to Israel and gunboats to maintain the siege of gaza - but if humanitarian aid is on its way to help the people who have lost families, homes, schools, hospitals and livelihoods, then its terrorism.
* urgent assistance needed with breaching the BBC (continued) blockade of the truth.
* urgent assistance needed with breaching the anti-terrorism laws in order to free the drivers and vehicles still held.
* and urgent assistance needed to breach the siege of gaza and to assist the convoy getting through.
please pass this on please contact press and BBC and MPs and complain loudly
