[ 26/05/2011 - 01:11 PM ] GAZA, (PIC)-- The Forum of Palestinian Journalists has condemned the Israeli occupation forces for raiding the home of Palestinian journalist Alaa al-Titi from the Al-Arub refugee camp in Al-Khalil and the arrest of his brother Hisham Jabr al-Titi, 17, who is a high school student.
The FPJS called for real Arab and world pressure to be exerted against Israel in order to curb such practices as the arrest that took place.
Israeli raids targeting the homes of journalists come as an attempt to intimidate and pressure their families in order to stop them from exposing the Israeli occupation, the FPJS said, asserting that Palestine's journalists would “remain guardians of the truth and nation with their pens, lenses, and voices”.
The FPJS called for forming an international committee designed to pressure Israel into abiding by regulations concerning the media.
A force of 20 soldiers raided Titi's home at around 2:30am and locked all the people living in the house in one room while they searched the three-storey home for more than an hour.
