Israeli forces have committed 414 violations against Palestinian journalists since the start of 2020, the Journalists Support Committee state.

This came in a statement, obtained by SAFA on the International Day of Solidarity witht, which falls on the 29th of November of each year, which was announced by the Journalists Support Committee.

The Journalists Support Committee renewed its condemnation and denunciation of the occupation’s arbitrary practices of directly and deliberately targeting journalists while performing their duties and their field coverage of the occupation’s crimes against the Palestinian people.

The committee pointed out that the occupation intentionally used live and explosive bullets as a hidden nickname to kill and wound journalists with permanent injuries that prevent them from practicing their professional work and newspapers, as happened with a number of journalists in Gaza and the West Bank.

The committee said, “The Israeli occupation is turning the lives of 25 imprisoned journalists and media professionals into hell by placing them in prisons and cells that do not meet health conditions and safe safety measures, especially with the spread of the Corona epidemic, which increases the scale of the disaster in the occupation prisons.” .

The comittee called on international and human rights institutions to press for the release of journalists and media activists, who are still detained in the occupation prisons, and to intervene to stop the policy of arresting and detaining journalists while they are performing their journalistic duty.
