“Andre Vltchek is humanity's and journalism's immeasurable loss. Andre honoured the description 'maverick' -- he was a maverick without peer. Whenever a vital issue was pushed into the recesses of our memory, Andre would rescue it and remind us why we should never forget: why we should keep fighting for what was right. Perhaps above all, he understood the nature of imperialism and tore away its modern disguises with his powerfully moral, bracing prose. I salute him.”
~ John Pilger
