The Palestine Solidarity Association of Sweden (PGS) is shocked to receive the tragic news of the killing of Vittorio Arrigoni. We send our deepest condolences and sympathies to Vittorio Arrigonis family and his friends in Gaza and the International Solidarity Movement (ISM).

Vittorio Arrigoni spent the past two and a half year in Gaza, monitoring Israeli human rights violations and supporting the Palestinian popular resistance against the occupation.

Vittorio Arrigonis death is a great loss for the Palestinian people and for all of us who struggle for peace and justice. His commitment will not be forgotten.
