The director of the Palestinian Media Forum, Muhammad Yassin: We condemn the re-arrest of the journalist Samer Haweira by the occupation after raiding his home in Nablus, and we see this as a new episode in focusing on journalists and limiting the freedom of journalistic work. We confirm that targeting journalists creates an environment of intimidation that threatens their ability to carry out their message and convey the truth. We call on the international institutions to press for the release of Khoira, to reveal the place and conditions of his detention and to ensure his safety. We call on the media and human rights organizations to document and track violations against journalists and act to end the policy of immunity.
