The Italian section of the Global Sumud Flotilla on Friday defended its decision to expel La Stampa journalist Francesca Del Vecchio before it sets off to join boats from other nations seeking to break the Israeli blockade and take aid to Gaza.
Del Vecchio said she was kicked off simply for trying to do her job, arguing the move was"a defeat for me, and not just a personal one" "It's always rings out of tune when a journalist becomes part of the story, rather than a narrator of other people's experiences," Del Vecchio said on social media. "But I believe this story deserves to be known about for what it tells us about the role of journalism and its tasks, and about the perception of the profession - including by those who call themselves libertarians". But Maria Elena Delia, the spokeswoman for the flotilla's Italian section, said that, while flotilla had"utmost respect" for press freedom, Del Vecchio's ejection was justified. "We are the first to thank the media, who are the greatest form of protection we have," Delia said. "We would be crazy not to respect journalists, but the journalists on board are also passengers, so they will be on a boat with a real crew. "Unfortunately, in Francesca Del Vecchio's case, these rules were not respected and, as would have happened to any of us, non-journalists included, there was a loss of trust. "It's a high-risk mission; in the first few days, we had asked for the location where the boats were located and where we were training not to be revealed. "These were the instructions given to everyone, not just journalists, in order to maintain a secure perimeter on such a complicated mission".
