Vittorio Arrigoni, 36, ISM volunteer in Gaza, was kidnapped earlier today in Gaza city. Later, a youtube video surfaced showing Vittotio blind folded and beaten up.
So-called Salafi Jehadis claimed the responsibility of kidnapping and abducting him asking Hamas government in Gaza to release Abu Al Waleed Al Maqdisi in 30 hours starting from 11 am today 14\4\2011 or else they would kill him.
All jornos in Gaza, Vittorios friends here and his friends everywhere ask Hamas to immediately intervene and release Vittiorio who worked hard to help Gaza for a long time.
Please lets all pray for his safe release.
It is with profound sadness that we are informing you of the death of our brother and comrade-in-arms Vittorio Arrigoni.
ReplyDeleteVittorio Arrigoni is a symbol of Palestine, a symbol of the solidarity of the Italian people and a symbol of international solidarity.
Having been abducted and killed under dubious circumstances, he has become a martyr of freedom, whose courage will keep inspiring people and who, we promise, shall never be forgotten.
All of Palestine mourns the death of one precious to us.
Palestine and all freedom-loving people in the world bow to you, Vittorio.
Blessed and immortal is the memory of Vittorio Arrigoni.
