IAS Mourns the Loss of Colleague, Martin Flynn

IAS Information Coordinator, and JIAS copy editor Martin Flynn, sadly passed away in the early hours of October 23rd. Martin joined the IAS in July of this year after many years as Editor of the magazine Positive Nation in the UK.

Martin suffered a heart attack one month ago, and ever since had been in intensive care at the University Hospital of Geneva. His partner of 20 years, Alex, was by his side when he died.

Martin, who was openly HIV-positive, used his skills as a journalist and editor to fight against ignorance, stigma and discrimination in the UK and internationally over the past two decades. He will be missed by all of us at the secretariat, but we will remain inspired by his passion, dedication and kind spirit.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to Alex and Martin’s family in this difficult time
