Complaint summary: Report still reporting untruths a week after the truth emerged

 

Full complaint: Your news website is still reporting that 'Israel boards protest boats taking medical aid to Gaza The Israeli navy has intercepted and boarded two boats which were trying to break the blockade of the Gaza Strip. The Canadian and Irish boats with 27 activists from the US and eight other countries on board had set sail from Turkey on Wednesday. They were carrying medical supplies for the coastal enclave. ' Are you not aware that a) inspection of the boats at Ashdod port showed no cargo was aboard - report here - http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4143893,00.html b) the boat's Canadian captain confirmed that no medical supplies were being carried when questionned before the boarding of the boat - http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=uOk8xUUDxyI 

 

If the BBC's correspondent was not aware of this fact at the time of filing their original report, are they really unaware a week later? Why has the truth not been reported? Why have the BBC not even reported that the true position regarding the carrying of medical supplies is disputed? 

 

The BBC has a journalistic responsibility to report facts without favour, by not updating the article with relevant information are you not failing in that responsibility?
