Protesters Demand Justice for Anas al-Sharif and Other Journalists Assassinated by Israel

HeadlineAug 13, 2025

Protests and vigils continue worldwide demanding accountability and justice following Israel’s targeted assassination of Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif along with four of his colleagues and another journalist outside Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City on Sunday. Here in New York, hundreds of protesters gathered outside The New York Times offices Tuesday decrying what advocates say is the Western media’s complicity with Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza and the relentless killing of Palestinian journalists. In Texas, protesters mobilized outside The Dallas Morning News headquarters, demanding U.S. reporters to speak out against Israel’s attacks on the media. Similar actions took place in Los Angeles and other U.S. cities, including Washington, D.C., where demonstrators rallied outside the offices of NBC, Fox News, ITN and The Guardian. Protesters gathered in Mexico City Tuesday in solidarity with Gaza journalists. Mexico is the deadliest country in Latin America for media workers.

Meanwhile, the Hind Rajab Foundation and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights have filed a complaint at the International Criminal Court against Anas al-Sharif’s killers.
