The humanitarian aid ship MV Finch also known as the Spirit of Rachel Corrie has since 17th May 2011 been turned into a prison ship for all intents and purposes.
What reason can there be when both Egyptian and Malaysian Governments have publicly agreed that the ship can berth and discharge the much needed cargo of PVC pipes for Gaza’s sewerage system?
Yet, the ship and the crew are not allowed to berth and disembark.
They are detained without just excuse and are now entering the third week of detention.
This is totally unacceptable and the Egyptian Government’s actions should be criticised in no uncertain terms.
