Reporters Without Borders
IsraelIsraeli Defence Forces
(JPEG) A Palestinian journalist working for Reuters was killed in 2008
by firing from an Israeli Army tank in disturbing circumstances. The
soldier who fired the shot, who was not in a position to argue
legitimate defence, could not have failed to know about the presence
of a TV crew in the area at the time. The army high command promised
an investigation into the circumstances of the tragedy. But in the
past, Israeli Army investigations into cases of murders of journalists
have not resulted in any punishment of soldiers accused of wrongdoing.
Impunity remains the rule in this type of case. Elsewhere, several
journalists are wounded every year with real or rubber bullets or
shards from stun grenades or tear gas grenades fired indiscriminately
by the Israeli Army. A Palestinian cameraman lost the use of both legs
in July 2007 after he was shot at twice by an Israeli soldier, when he
was already lying on the ground.
Predators
There are instigators and powerful people behind press freedom
violations whose responsibility is not always apparent. Whether
presidents, ministers, chiefs of staff, religious leaders or the heads
of armed groups, these predators of press freedom have the power to
censor, imprison, kidnap, torture and, in the worst cases, murder
journalists. To better expose them, Reporters Without Borders has
produced these portraits.
