Vittorio Arrigoni
Vittorio Arrigoni was an Italian reporter, writer, pacifist and activist.
Arrigoni worked with the pro-Palestinian International Solidarity Movement (ISM) in the Gaza Strip, from 2008 until his death.
Arrigoni maintained a website, Guerrilla Radio, and published a book of his experiences in Gaza during the 2008–09 Gaza War between Hamas and Israel.
He was murdered by suspected members of Tawhid wal-Jihad, a Palestinian Salafist group in Gaza.
Arrigoni was the first foreigner kidnapped in Gaza since BBC journalist Alan Johnston's abduction in 2007.
The murder was condemned by various Palestinian factions.
Arrigoni was born in the town of Besana in Brianza, near Milan, Italy on 4 February 1975.
He claimed that it was in his blood to fight for freedom as his grandfathers fought against the former fascist regime in Italy.
He had the Arabic word for resistance (muqawama) tattooed on his right arm.
Once he passed his maturità exams in Italy, he left his hometown of Bulciago, a small village near lake Como, and began working as a volunteer around the world (East Europe, South America, Africa and Middle East).
In 2002, he visited Jerusalem which according to his mother was the "moment he understood his work would be concentrated there." His mother, Egidia Beretta, is the mayor of Bulciago.
Arrigoni was credited as one of the many activists who revived the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), a pro-Palestinian group that works in the Palestinian territories.
In August 2008, he participated in the Free Gaza mission that aimed to break the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip, in place since June 2007 when Hamas took power in the territory.
He was on the first boat that arrived in the Port of Gaza, describing that moment as "one of the happiest and most emotional" of his lifetime." While volunteering to act as a human shield for a Palestinian fisherman off Gaza's coast in September 2008, Arrigoni was injured by flying glass after the Israeli Navy used a water cannon to deter the vessel.
In November, he was arrested by Israeli authorities after again acting as a human shield for fishermen off Gaza's coast.
He returned to Gaza prior to the Israeli military offensive Operation Cast Lead, which lasted from December 2008 to January 2009.
Arrigoni was one of the few foreign journalists in Gaza during the war; he worked with Radio Popolare and as reporter for the Italian newspaper Il manifesto.
He later published a book, Restiamo umani (en: Gaza, Stay Human), a collection of his reportage from Gaza.
It is translated into English, Spanish, German, and French with a preface by Israeli historian Ilan Pappé.
Several hundred Gazans rallied in the Unknown Soldier's Square to mourn Arrigoni while about 100 Palestinians and internationals marched through Ramallah to a house of mourning in nearby al-Bireh in the West Bank.
In Bethlehem, a candlelight vigil was held outside the Church of the Nativity.
Egyptian authorities offered to allow Arrigoni's family to enter Gaza through the Rafah crossing and his body to be sent back to Italy via the crossing.
