Paveen Yaqub survived the Israeli attack the Mavi Marmara, the main passenger ship carrying over 500 passengers as part of the Humanitarian Aid Flotilla bound for Gaza which was fatally attacked by Israeli commandos.
The BBC report did not mention the autopsy report - 30 bullets used to kill 9 civilians, many shot at close range
The BBC report did not mention the autopsy report - 30 bullets used to kill 9 civilians, many shot at close range, several times, in their chests, heads and backs whilst they were carrying nothing more than cameras in a desperate bid to record evidence of the attack.
Despite civilians having the weapons of the disarmed soldiers in their possession, these were never used against them and if we were using weapons, where were the shot Israeli commandos?
Israeli soldiers were disarmed and restrained by civilians and later released, and they had not jumped overboard as the BBC reported.
I did see terrorists on the Mavi Marmara - in the guise of commando soldiers sent by the 'terrorist state of Israel', who indiscriminately shot innocent passengers aboard a humanitarian convoy set to break the illegal siege on Gaza.
The BBC are complicit in the terrorisation and killing of Palestinians and those who defend humanity on behalf of Palestinians; they too have blood on their hands and should be ashamed.
My t-shirt states the words - Gaza Freedom Flotilla - The Truth Lay Bleeding... and that is exactly where the truth lay, and not in the laps of the BBC. Those of us who survived are determined to ensure the legacy of those killed lives on; that the truth permeates the world; that Israel is held accountable for its crimes; that the people of Palestine and all those who stand with hem secure justice and peace...please stand with us'.
