DATES:
We aim to be at the Rafah crossing on May 12th. Departure from Gaza is
scheduled for May 16-17. We plan to meet in Cairo on May 11th.
Departure
time from Cairo will be defined in the next few days. We are also
checking the possibility of going to Rafah directly from Sharm el
Sheikh, for those who may prefer that option.
COSTS:
The cost for necessary documents, transport, room and board, to be
assumed
by each participant, is currently estimated at about 250, with the
aim of
reducing this amount going forward. The cost of transport to Cairo
from
your country of residence is not included in this amount.
MISSION
We will enter Gaza on May 15th - one month after Vittorio Arrigoni’s
murder and on Nakba memorial day – by passing through the Rafah
crossing.
WE INTEND TO:
Make clear to all that nothing can stop international solidarity with
the
Palestinian people.
Reinforce and carry on Vittorio’s work, producing independent
information, together with Palestinian men and women, from within
beseiged Gaza
Support Palestinian popular and youth movements resisting Israeli
occupation.
State loud and clear what Vittorio always said – Stay human!
WHO WE ARE
The “Stay Human” convoy was the inevitable reaction by individuals and
groups close to Palestine and its people to the murder of Vittorio
Arrigoni.
Our shared memories of Vittorio, who he was, what he did and what
moved
him to live for years inside the outdoor prison which is the Gaza
Strip,
have transformed our sense of shock into collective determination.
We are going back to Gaza.
We will make the voice of Gaza heard above the stifling military siege
and
deafening international silence.
We will take Vittorio back to Gaza, by carrying forth the ideas which
inspired his everyday actions
