Ramallah: A small number of protesters tried to break into Al jazeera’s office in the West Bank after an senior Palestinian official denounced the network for publishing more than 1600 leaked Palestinian records of peace talk, news agencies reported on Tuesday.
Referring to a video of the protesters pounding on the doors of the office female al Jazeera producer termed it” a bit of what we went through at Al Jazeera’s Ramallah bureau” after the documents, known as the Palestine Papers, were released.
the network reported that only about 50 protesters had responded to calls to demonstrate outside the network’s office. Al Jazeera, an Arab broadcaster, also showed part of a news conference at which Yasir Abed Rabbo, an adviser to Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian Authority president, had railed against Al Jazeera, accusing the network of plotting to undermine the Palestinian Authority by publishing the documents.
Mamdouh Hamamreh, a Palestinian reporter who works for a television station sympathetic to Hamas was arrested in September and held for more than 50 days after Palestinian security forces found a photograph mocking the Palestinian president on the reporter’s Facebook page.
The reporter is likely to be prosecuted next month on a charge of insulting Palestinian president.
