Palestinian Journalists Syndicate Denounces Hamas' Arrest, Assault of Colleague
(Asharq Al-Awsat-UK) The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate strongly condemned the arrest and assault of Hani Abu Rizk, a correspondent of Al-Hayat Al-Jadeeda newspaper, by Hamas police during his filming of people marking Ramadan in Gaza City. The Syndicate said police were aware that Abu Rizk was a journalist when they assaulted him. Abu Rizk was attacked for covering the story of a cancer patient living in a residential complex who refused to sell his home to a local businessman because of his medical condition. A Hamas court ruled in favor of the businessman and police demolished the home, forcibly evicting the owner.
