It is with deep sorrow that we learned the sad and shocking news of the death of Mario Carmine Paciolla.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We got to know and appreciate Mario during his participation in CABURERA<\/a>. <\/strong>In the frame of this ENPI project he did an internship in Jordan, at Al-Hayat, and in Palermo. During his experience, he stood out for his sensitivity, strong sense of responsibility and active participation<\/strong> in all the activities we carried out in defense of the rights of the weakest.<\/p>\n

Mario was 33 years old<\/strong>; he was passionate about international cooperation and he always showed his commitment to peace and social justice. Since December 2019, he had been working in Colombia as UN collaborator<\/strong> to assess the progress of the UN peace deal between the Colombian government and FARC fighters.<\/p>\n

He should have come back to his Naples on July 20th<\/sup>.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

His death occurred in suspicious circumstances. <\/strong>In the last few days he had confessed to his family his concerns and fears for something which made him feel threatened. His case has been considered to be a suicide<\/strong>, but such a reconstruction immediately seemed inaccurate<\/strong> due to the stab wounds on his body.<\/p>\n

Mario\u2019s death is a terrible loss for all the people working in the field of international cooperation. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Along with Per Esempio Onlus<\/a> and HRYO \u2013 Human Rights Youth Organization<\/a>, we share the grief of his family, friends and colleagues. We extend them our heartfelt condolences and sympathy.<\/p>\n

We urge authorities to launch a full and thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding Mario\u2019s death, <\/strong>we support the call of Mario\u2019s parents<\/a>, Anna Motta and Giuseppe Paciolla, <\/strong>and we invite you all to sign the petition addressed to the Minister of Foreign Affairs<\/a>, so as not to dismiss Mario\u2019s death as another unexplainable tragedy. <\/strong><\/p>\n

We owe it to his family; we owe it to Mario. <\/strong><\/p>\n
