Reporters Without Borders (RSF) condemns targeted violence by Palestinian security forces against many covering the past week of protests against the murder of a well-known critic of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. The authorities must not tolerate any violation of the freedom to inform, RSF said. While covering the demonstrations, which have been marked by clashes between protesters and security forces, many reports have been reported, threatened or chased. They say stones were thrown at them, teargas was fired at them and in some cases their equipment was destroyed. On 28 June, 50 issued a joint appeal to the United Nations on “take necessary and immediate measures to protect [them].” Footage by Ashraf Amra/ APAwire
