CARL FREDRIK REUTERSWÄRD, the artist and creator of the Non-Violence symbol, The Knotted Gun, has died, 81 years old.

Carl Fredrik was a fantastic person and one of Sweden’s most respected artists ever. The Knotted Gun has become one of the most well-known symbols for Peace and Non-Violence in the world and is also the symbol of the Non-Violence Project, NVP. We will continue to carry Carl Fredrik’s vision and this great symbol around the globe and always remember his inspiring personality and his support for our organization.
