Scottish PSC Joins International Solidarity Action from Cairo to Get into Gaza – March 2008

 

A Scottish PSC banner joins international group getting ready to leave from Cairo for Gaza



We were mainly Europeans protesting in Cairo against European-Israeli strangulation of Gaza



Scottish PSC members were among those interviewed by Egyptian TV channels...


...as were Greeks...



...and Austrians.


Egyptian authorities stoppped the delegation bus at a police checkpoint, so we protested....



...and then we continued on foot towards El Arish and Gaza...


...photographed as we went by the Egyptian police, who finally arrested and forced the marchers to go back.


Those who went furthest returning to the detained bus.


We went back to back in Cairo and protested outside the European Union offices there.



TV and press interviews continued...


...as we carried our message to the streets of Cairo.


When people unite across continents...



...with an indomitable spirit...



...we will win.
