Palestinian media rally for protection after assaults by police
Al Jazeera
Human rights groups in Ramallah announce the formation of a legal team to follow up on the attacks on journalists.
Dozens of Palestinian journalists rallied outside a United Nations building in Ramallah on Monday to demand press freedom following violent clashes with Palestinian security forces sparked by an activist’s death in custody. Nizar Banat, a 43-year-old from Hebron known for social media videos deploring alleged corruption within the Palestinian Authority (PA), died last week shortly after security forces stormed his home and violently arrested him, his family said. Days of clashes between protesters and police have left several journalists injured.More Related News
