The two small boats calling themselves the Flotilla of Hope are 150 miles from Nauru and hoping to land on Sunday June 20th which is World Refugee Day. Stavros Georgopoulis spoke to the Wire by satellite phone. He said the group received a very supportive send-off from Santa Cruz where they were presented with a paddle as a symbol that the islanders were with them in spirit on their mission to visit detainees at the Nauru Detention Centre. He dismissed doubts that they would get a visa and get ashore.
