Vittorio Arrigoni is on his knees, his arms tied behind his back and a thick strip of black electrical tape over his eyes. He has a wound to his head and spots of blood on his face. Someone holds the hair. The video appeared today on canale'ThisisGazaVoice 'is what we know so far of the kidnapping of the Italian volunteer in Gaza City by three armed militants of the Islamic Salafist group.
The kidnappers threaten to kill if Arrigoni within 30 hours - from 11 am this morning (the 10 in Italy) - The Hamas government will not release prisoners held in prisons Salafi Strip. The Foreign Ministry has received through the Italian Consulate in Jerusalem, the news of the kidnapping of Arrigoni and "has already made the appropriate steps for each action to protect the fellow," he wrote in a note.
The video and the claim. Above pictures of Arrigoni on You Tube runs an inscription in Arabic, is the manifesto of the kidnappers. They accuse the Italian volunteer, member of the 'international movement of solidarity with the Palestinians', of being "one who comes into our house bringing moral corruption." Italy is known as an "infidel statelet whose army is present in the Islamic world." And yet the accusations against the Palestinian government of Ismail Haniyeh, is too soft, according to the Salafis in the application of Sharia, Islamic religious law.
The Salafi principles and reactions in Gaza. The armed group that kidnapped Italian is made up of religious and political extremists. I believe in the Salafi, everything that is related to the West, the 'infidels', is to be destroyed because it is opposed to their goal: restoring the "true Islam", that of "ancestors".
That is based strictly on the Koran and the Sunna. An ideal of purity that is inspired by the figure of Osama bin Laden, even if the group is not directly linked to Al Qaida. But the militants have the support of the population of Gaza, which has been condemned the kidnapping. Thousands of comments on online forums and at the same video that shows Arrigoni prisoner.
"Sorry, Vittorio. You will be free soon and these idiots will pay. " "Victor wants to free Gaza. We love Victor. " "Most of the inhabitants of this action against Gaza is shameful. We will do our best to leave this brave man. " These are some of the messages of support sent to the volunteer.
"Palestine is his great love." A pacifist, idealistic, in love with the Gaza Strip. So friends describe Vittorio Arrigoni was born 36 years ago in the province of Monza and Brianza. The volunteer is considered an expert in the area of Palestine and his blog 'Guerrilla Radio' - updated up to yesterday - is one of the most popular subject.
His activism had already brought more than a few death threats: stoptheism on the site. com Arrigoni was indicated as the number one enemy of the Israeli military. A photo and list of details to recognize it did the rest. Member of the international mission in 2008 'Free Gaza', during the bombing operation 'lead time' - from December 2008 to January 18, 2009 - was the only Italian left in Gaza.
He wrote his matches for the newspaper 'Il Manifesto', which now asks the Italian government to do everything possible to save it. After that experience Arrigoni has published a book with a title that is also the signature of all his messages from the Strip: 'Human remains'.
