March 6, 2019. The Freedom Flotilla Coalition is deeply saddened by the death of Divina Levrini in Sweden a few days ago. She was a good friend and shipmate to many of us who sailed with her on the vessels  Freedom and Al Awda in 2018 or met her in different ports. Divina was a passionate advocate for justice, a talented musician and gifted communicator who touched many lives. We mourn her early loss and extend our heartfelt condolences to her family and friends.

I had the honour and privilege of meeting this incredibly beautiful and caring young lady in Palermo, Sicily, when the two Freedom Flotilla boats Freedom and Al Awda (The Return), docked in preparation for the last leg of their journey to Gaza.

Divina had been with the Freedom from the day it set sail in May 2018, and I had just flown in from London to join Al Awda as ship medic. The delegates and crew of Al Awda and Freedom met on that Monday evening, 17 July 2018, in preparation to be briefed and also to receive two days of intensive training in non-violent resistance in Palermo for the journey. Read more
