Authorities remain silent about imprisonment of Syrian journalist Ata Farahat

Reporters Without Borders today condemned the “unacceptable silence” of the Israeli authorities about Syrian journalist Ata Farahat, who has been held in custody for more than a year without any explanation.

The Israeli media has been banned by court order from publishing news about the trial of the journalist, correspondent for Syrian daily al-Watan and Syrian public television, who has been held in prison since 30 July 2007.
