APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Ramallah - 31 May 2021. Palestinian Journalists take part in a protest against Israeli violations against journalists
STORYLINE
Israeli occupation authorities continue harassing and suppressing Palestinian journalists, mainly in Jerusalem's neighbourhood of Sheikh Jarrah, where Palestinian families are being threatened with expulsion from their homes to be surrendered to Jewish settlers.
The Prisoners and Freed Prisoners Commission indicated in a statement sent to the media that since the start of the protests, the Israeli occupation has a "systematic" policy of harassing Palestinians, mainly in Jerusalem, and is exerting much effort to undermine exposing its crimes.
According to the commission, Israeli action against the Palestinian journalists varies between detention, investigation, confiscating equipment, suppressing freedom of movement, opening live fire, raiding media offices and closing them.
The commission called for international rights groups to dispatch investigation and documentation missions to investigate and document Israeli violations against the Palestinian media, and suing Israel before international courts.
A few hours after the latest ceasefire took effect in the Gaza Strip, a number of Palestinian journalists in the coastal enclave found they were blocked from accessing WhatsApp messenger – a crucial tool used to communicate with sources, editors and the world beyond the blockaded Strip.
According to the Associated Press, 17 journalists in Gaza confirmed their WhatsApp accounts had been blocked since Friday. By midday Monday, only four journalists – working for Al Jazeera – confirmed their accounts had been restored.
