Edda Manga

Edda Manga (born 1969)[1] is a Swedish historian of ideas, speaker and debator. Manga won the Clioprize in 2004 for her doctorate thesis Gudomliga uppenbarelser och demoniska samlag ("Divine revelations and demonic intercourses").[2] She was a summer host on Sveriges Radio P1 during Sommar i P1 on 14 June 2004.[3]

Gaza flotilla

Manga is married to historian Mattias Gardell. They were aboard MV Mavi Marmara as part of the flotilla which tried to break the Israeli embargo of the Gaza strip, before Israeli armed forces attacked the flotilla on the morning of 31 May 2010.[4] Manga was deported from Israel and landed in Sweden on 3 June along with her husband and other Swedish left-wing activists.[5] She denied allegations of IHH being a militant Islamist organisation, saying "They are not turkish islamists. They are a muslim organisation working with humanitarian aid in 143 countries." She further called the Israeli action irrational.[5]
