Gaza journalists demand release of their detained colleagues
Picture
Dozens of Palestinian journalists staged a sit-in on Monday at the Gaza office of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) demanding the release of their colleagues detained in Israeli jails.

The sit-inners, who raised banners condemning targeting journalists, asked Israel to stop harassing the Palestinian journalists especially in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem.

Wajih al-Najjar, the spokesman of the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate, accused the Israeli occupation authorities of attempting to silence the voice of Palestinians in the West Bank through closing Palestinian media outlets and arresting their crews.

He pointed out that the number of the Palestinian journalists in the Israeli jails reached 27, some of whom are on hunger strike and suffering tough conditions and harassment by the jailers.

Palestinian journalists are targeted because they report the real image of the Israeli occupation to the outside world, he added.

Al-Najjar appealed to the international press institutions to work hard and pressure Israel to release the detained journalists and the rest of the Palestinian detainees, accusing them of remaining silent despite the Israeli crimes.

Awad said that Israeli forces searched the homes of Issa Mousa Rashid Awad, Zaid Awad, 35, and a small shop that sells cigarettes and tobacco. Forces used the dogs during the searches, which caused damages to the homes.

Awad added that during the raid, Israeli forces summoned Issa Awad’s 22-year-old son, a former prisoner who spent two years in Israeli prison, for interrogation at the Gush Etzion military center.

Awad said that Israeli forces also assaulted Zaid Awad as he tried to prevent the soldiers from entering his house, adding that Israeli soldiers beat him in front of his wife and children and allowed a police dog to attack him.

The non-governmental Voice of Prisoners radio said on Sunday that Hattab, from Tulkarem city, who was held in Nafha desert jail, announced the suspension of his open hunger strike last night which he started 32 days ago demanding to be treated as a war prisoner.

Hattab's sister said that her brother's decision is not final, and added that he may resume it in case the Israeli authorities show no commitment to their promises, according to the radio.

The 52-year-old Hattab, who used to be a captain pilot, was detained on 4th July 2003 after the Israeli military sweep of the territories ruled by the Palestinian Authority.

The Israeli authorities denied him family visits two years ago because he refused to wear the prisoners' outfit.
