107 “Israeli” Crimes against Palestinian Journalists

""Israel" perpetrated 107 attacks and violations against Palestinian journalist's rights since the start of 2010" said the secretary general and president of the Palestinian Journalist Syndicate (PJS), Professor Abed Al Nasser Al Najjar.

He confirmed that the "Israeli" attacks included beating the journalists, breaking their cameras, preventing them from covering events, shooting at them deliberately, arresting and jailing them, fabricating serious charges, fining them, imposing high financial fines before releasing them from detention, declaring the area of work of journalists as military zones, denying them the access to occupied Al Quds (Jerusalem).

Al Najjar said that the last attack against the Palestinian journalists took place last week, after a number of journalists, among them people from Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya crews went to Ashdod to cover the crime of piracy of the "Israeli" commandos, in which they abducted the fleet of freedom and all those were on board.

He added that the "Israeli" police have beaten up the Palestinian journalists and that they allowed dozens of armed extremist settlers to assault them and damage their cameras.

Al Najjar clarified that the PJS had called for an emergency meeting in which they could discuss the possibility of filing complaints at the international courts against "Israel".
