Unnamed Source: No, we're on the deck at the port of Smir. We're still waiting to hear if our captains on board the boat are safe, but none of us are allowed to get on yet because the Moroccan police are searching it.Are they allowed to do that in international waters?
Yeah, we sailed into the port so we're in Moroccan territory, and it's apparently legal for them to search any boat in the harbour without authorisation.Have you had any trouble with protesters on land yet?
Yes. There were a lot of pro-life protestors gathered on land this morning, screaming at us when we went to hand out press releases. There were maybe 200 of them – probably 75 percent men, 25 percent women – and it got too scary so we had to leave. Rebecca is free to speak now, if you’d like to speak to her?

Rebecca Gomperts: OK, so the ship is in the harbour. The police are checking the boat, but we don't know what's going to happen, so we're staying alert and trying to make sure nothing bad happens to our captains on the ship.What do you think might happen to them?
We don’t know. There are some really aggressive policemen with them. I’m sorry, I need to be on standby for the ship now so I’m going to hang up. I’m sorry.The Moroccan navy ended up escorting Women on Waves out of the harbour of Smir, but the organisation remain undeterred and have stated that the ship will remain in international waters near Morocco until they work out their next move. Despite the authorities' best efforts to silence Rebecca and her crew before they could properly spread their message to the people of Morocco, we're told the hotline advertised on their brief disembarkment to the shore had already been ringing off the hook.Follow Rebecca Gomperts for breaking updates on the Women on Waves boat: @rebeccagompertsMore abortion:Totally Abortion!Fact: Gay Marriage Kills BabiesThis Is Her Abortion
