Austrian publicist, author, and peace activist | 1948-2024
With AbFaNG and the peace activists’ families, we mourn the passing of Fritz Edlinger, a dedicated journalist, author, and passionate advocate for peace, who left us on December 4th. As the editor of the magazine International and a committed left-wing social democrat, Fritz worked tirelessly to amplify voices and promote understanding, particularly in the Arab world.
His unwavering dedication extended to supporting cultural initiatives and advocating for a peaceful and just world. Even in his final days, Fritz remained deeply engaged in his mission, speaking at the opening of the Palestinian Film Week in Vienna, a project he organized.
We honor his legacy and his lifetime of contributions to peace, justice, and cultural dialogue. Fritz’s voice and vision will be deeply missed, but his work will continue to inspire us.
Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and all who were touched by his remarkable life.
