Hamas Militiamen Beat Gaza Protesters
[AP/Washington Post] Ibrahim Barzak - Hamas militiamen beat protesters with clubs and rifle butts to try to stop a demonstration by political opponents in Gaza on Monday, but hundreds chanting "We want freedom" defied the ban. Hamas men arrested several demonstrators and confiscated equipment from news photographers and cameramen seeking to cover the arrests. Hamas has banned "all demonstrations and public gatherings" that do not have special permission.
