The Peninsula
Doha: Tunisian security forces raided Al Jazeera Media Network’s office in Tunis yesterday and expelled all journalists. At least 10 security personnel barged into the office without warrants, confiscated the office keys and did not allow journalists back into the building to retrieve their personal belongings.
The security personnel did not explain why the office had been raided; merely saying they were following orders. Al Jazeera said it considers this action by the Tunisian authorities as a troubling escalation and fears it will impede fair and objective coverage of unfolding events in the country.More Related News
