Palestinian journalists call for international support

PALESTINIAN journalists are routinely targeted by Israeli forces and need international support and solidarity, a delegation of trade unionists has told MPs.

The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate (PJS) recorded 909 media violations, including closure of offices, financial penalties and arrests in the West Bank and Gaza last year — a 37 per cent rise on incidents in the previous year.

PJS president Nasser Abu Baker told a meeting of MPs and journalists in Westminster on Wednesday evening: “We want an end to the attacks on media workers and press freedom.”
