Program Title: Gorilla Radio with Chris Cook, Kevin Neish, Ken OKeefe, Janine Bandcroft May 16, 2011
Description: t was May 31st last year, when Israeli military commandos attacked the Mavi on the high seas, in international waters, as it took part in a five ship aid convoy headed for the blockaded Gaza Strip. As of today, there is yet no official sanction, charges, or accounting for Israel's operation that ultimately saw nine, unarmed activists murdered in cold blood. Kevin Neish is a long-time, Victoria-based activist who has traveled as a peace observor to Palestine, borne witness to elections in South and Central America, and who has, on numerous occasions made the arduous journey through the Colombian legal system to bear witness too to that country's persecution of union activist, Liliany Obando imprisoned without trial for her human rights work for nearly two years now. Kevin is readying himself now to return to the Mediterranean to again board the Mavi Marmara in the second of what activists promise to be an annual attempt to try the Israeli embargo. Kevin Neish in the first half. Ken O'Keefe from Palestine on the day of Nakba in the second half. And; Victoria Street Newz publisher and CFUV broadcaster, Janine Bandcroft will be here at the bottom of the hour to bring us news from the city's streets and beyond. But first, Kevin Neish and setting sail again for Gaza. Chris Cook hosts Gorilla Radio, airing live every Monday, 5-6pm Pacific Time.
