Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Palestinian Engineer Assassinated in Malaysia; Family Blames Mossad

HeadlineApr 23, 2018

In Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, a Palestinian man was shot and killed Saturday by two assailants who fired 14 rounds before speeding away on a motorcycle. The victim, 35-year-old Fadi al-Batsh, was a senior lecturer at the University of Kuala Lumpur who specialized in engineering and who’d been living in Malaysia for the past decade. Malaysia’s deputy prime minister said the killers had “European features,” and said they were linked to a foreign intelligence agency. In the Gaza Strip, members of Batsh’s family blamed the Israeli spy agency Mossad for carrying out the killing.
