00:00
The Gaza war is unfolding over 8,000 kilometers away from here in downtown Taipei.
00:04
But a group of protesters say that Taiwan has its own, possibly deadly, role to play in the conflict.
00:09
And they want to stop to it now.
00:15
These activists represent several civic groups that are concerned about the human rights situation in Gaza.
00:21
They've gathered to protest outside the offices of shipping giant Evergreen,
00:25
the operator of a ship bound for Israel with military-grade steel.
00:28
They're unsure of the exact tonnage, but they say the EverGolden is just days from its destination,
00:34
and its cargo could soon be turned into weapons, pointed at people in Gaza.
00:38
It's part of what they say is a broader involvement of Taiwanese companies in Israel's war against Hamas.
00:58
Evergreen has told Taiwan Plus it has no role in the sale or final use of the goods it carries,
01:07
and that it will continue reviews to make sure it meets all legal and social responsibilities.
01:12
And stopping this shipment could be complicated.
01:14
The ship's owner may be Taiwanese, but it flies the Panamanian flag, and its owner is based in Japan.
01:19
Still, the protesters say the shipment violates international law,
01:24
and so Taiwan has to do something, whether the country is a UN member or not.
01:28
The ship is fast approaching the eastern Mediterranean,
01:31
but pro-Palestinian activists say they won't let it pressure on its owner until it changes course.
