The Committee to Protect Journalists condemns the detention of Russian-Israeli journalist Andrey Khrzhanovskiy, known professionally as Andrey X, and U.S. journalist Jasper Nathaniel by Israeli forces near Umm Al-Khair, in the occupied West Bank. The arrests followed a violent assault by Israeli settlers against the two reporters and fellow freelance journalist Adele Shoko.

“CPJ demands the immediate release of the journalist known as Andrey X and his colleague Jasper Nathaniel. Israeli police arrested the two in Umm Al-Khair, near Hebron, shortly after they were physically assaulted by Israeli settlers. The arrest followed reports that Israeli settlers also stole Andrey X's phone, pepper-sprayed Nathaniel, and attacked journalist Adele Shoko. Journalists who are victims of violence must receive medical care; not be treated as suspects while their attackers remain free.”

#DRC 🇨🇩 CPJ calls on DRC authorities to allow journalists to report freely on the war in the east of the country, after the media regulator banned the press from giving a “platform” to a new rebel coalition headed by former President Joseph Kabila.

I’ve so much admiration for Lina Attalah and her colleagues in Egypt. They set an example for journalistic courage and independence that all of us can learn from.
CPJ condemns the conviction of Lina Attalah, editor-in-chief of the independent Egyptian news outlet @MadaMasr, on charges of running an unlicensed website. We call on Egyptian authorities to reverse the ruling, release the journalist immediately, and end their escalating campaign against independent journalism.

“Lina Attalah and Mada Masr are among the most prominent voices in Egypt’s independent media landscape, providing critical reporting on issues of public interest that might otherwise go unreported. If Egypt can put in custody one of its most respected editors and shut down her newsroom, no independent journalist in the country is safe. Attalah must be released immediately, and Mada Masr must be allowed to keep reporting.”
