news report
 Tuesday June 15, 2010 12:53 by TD - Free Palestine Campaign
 "Blood was pouring from the bodies of the dead and the injured" Palestinian, Lubna Masarwa was the Free Gaza Movement representative aboard the Turkish ship Mavi Marmara which was carrying a cargo of humanitarian and construction aid - as well as letters from Turkish children to Gazan children - to illegally besieged Gaza when it was murderously attacked in international waters on May 31st, 2010. Lubna witnessed the many crimes of the Israeli military aboard that night and in a Electronic Intifada article and a video interview yesterday, she spoke out: Blood was pouring from the bodies of the dead and the injured. We wanted to help them, but we had no medical equipment to treat them. There was nothing we could do. One Turkish woman was crying and saying goodbye to the body of her dead husband, petting his face and reading the Quran over him. Another man had a bullet wound in his head and was dying. They (the Israeli commandos) were standing around us with the blood of their victims on their boots, joking and making lewd sexual suggestions to each other about the female prisoners.
