Help Supporters of Vittorio Arrigoni Attend Murder Trial in Gaza

From The Freedom Flotilla Italia website...

Vittorio 'Vik' Arrigoni is one man whose efforts to aid the captive population of Gaza will never be forgotten.

(ROME) - Last April humanitarians around the world heard the worst news, that an activist larger than life itself, Vittorio Arrigoni, the founder of the International Solidarity Movement in Gaza (ISM) had been murdered.

His death came after the loss of another great voice. Juliano Mehr Khamis, a Jewish/Christian Palestinian who operated the West bank Freedom Theater, famous from the movie 'Arna's Children' - was murdered, also supposedly by 'Palestinians'. The problem is that in each case, there never was a reason their losses would benefit anyone in the world except for aspirations of the Israeli government.

The Arrigoni family attorney, accompanied by a small delegation of Italian citizens, is traveling to Gaza City for the second audience of the process that will shed light on the role of the alleged assassins, accused of killing the man known to tens of thousands as “the voice of Gaza”.

The trial for the murderers of Vittorio Arrigoni began on 8 September in Gaza. Italian media naturally ignored the news with the exception of Il Manifesto newspaper.

Supporters of Vittorio's cause issued this statement:

"We think it is important to be close to Vik’s family in these moments, but also be witnesses in front of the Palestinians of Gaza that his companions do not forget him, for his history is an integral part of our plight alongside the Palestinian people.

"Therefore we will be sending a delegation from the Freedom Flotilla Italia to the hearings which will commence on 22 September in the Military Tribunal of Gaza.

"In order to achieve what we are proposing, we need the same help, support and participation that has accompanied us through this very long year.

"We are once again appealing to everyone to donate by clicking on the 'Donate' icon on the left hand side of the website (Freedom Flotilla website http://www.freedomflotilla.it/) and participate in building information sharing.

"We are on our way again."
