French journalist and renowned Middle East expert Marine Vlahovic was found dead at her home in Marseille on Monday, November 27.
According to reports by La Provence, her body was discovered on the roof terrace of her residence by friends who had grown concerned after she failed to respond to calls or messages. She was 39 years old.
According to ARTE Radio, Marine Vlahovic had dedicated part of her short life to the Palestinian cause.
In Gaza Calling, she compiled video and voice messages from her colleagues and friends in Gaza, trapped under the bombs.
What’s weird is that I can’t find even one article about her death in the more mainstream French newspapers such as Le Monde or Le Figaro or Libération. There’s something in Ouest France. Did anyone find more?
They’re currently not treating her death as suspicious. I know it doesn’t mean that it isn’t but I think it’s worth mentioning.
When I entered her name in google some small independent articles come up, but its clearly being silenced on all the major networks.

It happened days ago so its not an issue of waiting for the major news outlets to catch on-- its censureship.
Truly, Rest in peace Marine Vlaholic, and good for you for doing what you did.
Best I can find is RFI
