Scoop Exclusive: (Audio 22 minutes)
Alastair Thompson interviews Julie-Webb Pullman via Skype
from Syria about the Viva Palestina Convoy's preparations
for departure from Syria bound for Egypt and then Gaza. Also
discussed are media arrangements for the voyage, and the
reception of the convoy in Turkey and Syria. The convoy is
expected to leave in the next 24-36 hours and will be
passing through the same waters where the Mavi Marmara was
intercepted and attacked by the Israeli Navy and several
activists were killed by Israeli Commandos earlier in the
year.
