Watch illustrated account of Ellen’s experience here on TRT World.
Ellen Hansson (31) from Gothenburg, Sweden, is a musician and a student. She is sailing with the Freedom Flotilla because she believes every man, no matter where they live, should have their human rights.
“I believe that we, as peaceful activists, possess a great power to raise awareness among people who want to show their support to the Palestinians in Gaza, so that they do not feel forgotten. It is our responsibility as fellow human beings and we can not give up until we have succeeded.”
