One might expect a journalists’ union to defend the rights of other journalists against detention without trial (what Israel calls “administrative detention”). But it seems for the union of Israeli journalists, actually campaigning against the basic human rights of Palestinian journalists is what they do.
The parents of Hana al-Shalabi, who has been on hunger strike since 16 February to protest Israel’s holding her without charge or trial, are pleading for action to save their daughter’s life.
