George Cadman speaks to Dr. Paul Larudee, co-founder of the Free Gaza Movement, on plans to set sail from Cyprus to Gaza in May of 2008.
The Free Gaza Movement’s mission is to break the siege of Gaza. They want to raise international awareness about the prison-like closure of the Gaza Strip and pressure the international community to review its sanctions policy and end its support for continued Israeli occupation. They want to uphold Palestine’s right to welcome internationals as visitors, human rights observers, humanitarian aid workers, journalists, or otherwise.
Dr. Paul Larudee is Co-Founder of the Free Gaza Movement. He is a former Ford Foundation supervisor in Lebanon, a Fulbright-Hays lecturer to Lebanon, and a former contracted US govt. advisor to Saudi Arabia. He participates in Palestinian nonviolent resistance with the International Solidarity Movement.
