CPJ slams attack on Israel’s Channel 12 over coverage of Palestinian detainee abuse
LONDON: An attack on an Israeli broadcaster over its coverage of the abuse of Palestinian detainees has been condemned by the Committee to Protect Journalists.
On Monday evening, a masked individual smashed the glass doors of the Channel 12 News building in Tel Aviv and left a note that contained a death threat over the broadcaster’s coverage of the abuse of Palestinian detainees at the notorious Sde Teiman facility.
The detention camp became mired in controversy after Palestinian detainees there were reportedly raped and physically abused.
When Israeli reservists serving at the base were later arrested, crowds of people, including MPs and government ministers, broke into the facility holding the reservists to demand their release.
