Father of Journalist on Aid Boat Attacked by Israel Speaks Out

After the murder of humanitarian workers in on an aid flotilla by Israeli forces in international waters, demonstrations were called worldwide, including several in Scotland. In Glasgow's George Square large numbers turned out to protest and several people addressed the crowd, including politicians and campaigners. One of the speakers was Haq Ghani, the father of 25-year-old Hassan, one of the people on the attacked boat. Glasgow-born Hassan graduated from Stirling University in Scotland and was working as a London-based journalist for PressTV, an Iranian cable channel.
Haq's speech included condemnation of the mainstream media's biased reporting in terms of them never mentioning any of Israel's acts of atrocity or if they admit any killings by Israel, they grossly under-report the casualties or make some excuse for it, while most other channels and countries give more facts. He pointed out that those who control and distort the media had better remember who pays their salaries i.e. the licence payers. Haq did not know if his son was alive or dead at the time of this speech as the surviving people on the flotilla were captured by the Israeli forces and held for several days but he has since heard from his son. Five Scots including Hassan were on the flotilla.
