STIEG LARSSON (1954-2004)

Graeme Atkinson, Searchlight magazine and international co-ordinator Antifa-Net

“Stieg Larsson will be sorely missed by all of us in the international anti-fascist network, Antifa-Net, who had the unforgettable privilege to know him, work with him and debate with him. He was also a shy and very modest person who made enormous sacrifices for the anti-fascist cause and asked for so little in return. With his warmth, intellectual clarity and remarkable personal courage, Stieg made an incalculable contribution to anti-fascism, the Left and the cause of a better, more humanistic and more equal world. His death is a terrible blow to all of us. We have collectively lost a comrade and a friend. His record as an internationalist – especially his work in the international anti-fascist movement but also long before that – will never be forgotten. Antifa-Net, sends its deepest condolences, sympathy and solidarity to Expo at this very sad time. Salud! Stieg.”
