statement on the killing of journalist SHIREEN ABU AkLEH

5/11/2022

0 Comments

 
​Following the killing of Al Jazeera correspondent Shireen Abu Akleh in Jenin, the Foreign Press Association joins calls by  Israeli human rights group Yesh Din in demanding, "urgent international intervention in order to get to the truth; we call for the establishment of an independent international commission of inquiry to investigate this case in depth,” 

Yesh Din commented that the Israeli defense establishment “has proven in several cases that it is unable to investigate such incidents on its own.”  There were seven journalists who witnessed the incident and who dismissed IDF claims  that there were gunmen in the area during the incident. "There were no resistance fighters,” one said. "We were alone in the area.”
​
We give more credibility to our professional colleagues on the ground than to Security spokespeople and deplore the callous insensitivity of the Israeli police who promptly raided the home of the deceased reporter. Journalists lives matter.
