LONDON, (PIC)-- The coalition of Freedom Flotilla aid convoys named their next sea trip to the besieged Gaza Strip "Stay Human" in memory of Vittorio Arrigoni, the Italian activist who was murdered yesterday.
Arrigoni, 36, was a passenger on the first small flotilla that broke the siege in 2008, and has lived and volunteered in the blockaded Strip ever since.
“We condemn this senseless murder and the people who are behind it. They took the life of one of the most passionate supporters of justice for Palestine. This murder is damaging to the Palestinian struggle for freedom and justice as well as to our work in support of that struggle.”
The coalition added that, in his honor, it is calling its next Freedom Flotilla "Stay Human," the name of the book Arrigoni was in the process of writing.
