Dozens of Palestinian Journalists Protest Kidnapping of BBC Colleague

HeadlineApr 05, 2007

In Gaza, dozens of Palestinian journalists rallied outside parliament in Gaza City on Wednesday calling for the release of BBC correspondent Alan Johnston. Johnston was abducted in Gaza on March 12 and hasn’t been heard from since. He has been held captive longer than any other journalist in the Gaza Strip. The journalists have called on the media not to cover events related to the Palestinian presidency and government in a bid to put pressure on authorities to find the abducted journalist. A British diplomat is preparing to meet today with the Palestinian prime minister to discuss the situation.
