Palestinian media demands that international community halt the crimes of the Israeli occupation

The Palestinian Ministry of Information has called on the international community to halt  the Israeli occupation crimes against journalists and provide them with protection.

WAFA  News Agency quoted the ministry as saying in a statement on the occasion of the World Press Freedom Day on the third of May each year, that the Israeli occupation continues to target journalists, bomb their headquarters, arrest them, impede their movement, and tighten their work to block their free voice and prevent them from exposing the Israeli  daily crimes against the Palestinian people.

The Ministry called on the International Federation of Journalists and all organizations of freedom of expression to hold the Israeli occupation authorities accountable for their crimes against journalists.

 

The Ministry called on the UN Security Council to implement Resolution No. 2222 of 2015 on providing protection for journalists and ensuring that their attackers do not go unpunished.

For his part, Al-Asir ( War Prisoners)  Club said  that the occupation authorities have arrested 12 journalists who face, along with thousands of their fellow prisoners, great fears of the spread of the Coronavirus, indicating that they are experiencing double suffering due to the continued arbitrary occupation measures and that visits by families and lawyers have been banned  since March which has put the prisoners in isolation.

Al-Asir Club pointed out that the Israeli occupation authorities are stepping up their attacks on journalists in occupied Jerusalem and preventing, since last year, the Palestine TV team from working in the city.
