Reporters sans frontières - Palestinian Territories
"Reporters Without Borders condemns the continuing press censorship in the Gaza Strip and West Bank, which has not spared the Palestinian broadcast media, and calls for the release of Ossayd Amarneh, a cameraman employed by Al-Aqsa TV, the mouthpiece of the Islamic party Hamas, who was arrested in the West Bank city of Bethlehem on 21 September.
It is the fourth time Amarneh has been arrested in the past 12 months. The Palestinian Authority security services constant harass Al-Aqsa journalists in order to rein in Hamas’s propaganda and to avenge the fact that the activities of the state-owned Palestinian Broadcasting Corporation (PBC), now under President Mahmoud Abbas’s direct control, have been brought to a complete halt in the Gaza Strip since Hamas seized power there last June."
