CAPE TOWN - Independent Media has called on other South African media houses to join it in denouncing media oppression and to advocate freedom of the press.
This, according to Independent Media, was a deliberate attempt to silence the media covering the events happening in Palestine.
âIndependent Media outright denounces this action. Earlier this month, the world celebrated World Press Freedom Day (May 3). Yet, many of our international colleagues were unable to participate, since their ability to report on news or opinion has been severely restricted or denied outright.

The Palestinian Center for Development and Media Freedoms “MADA” condemns the escalating attacks of the occupation forces against journalists and the media workers in Palestine, which reached a climax as a result of the current events in the occupied city of Jerusalem with the aim of blocking the transmission of the violations to the world. This was accompanied by widespread violations of freedom of expression committed by social media companies to serve the goal of the occupation state by obscuring the attacks implemented by its soldiers and settlers.
The last week witnessed a wide wave of Israeli attacks against journalists during their field coverage of the events, as the occupation army targeted a number of journalists while they were documenting the storming of the town of Aqraba in the Nablus governorate. This was followed by the attack on four journalists in Jenin while documenting the events, following the martyrdom of two young men near Jenin by Israeli

In celebration of the World Press Freedom Day, the Office of the European Union Representative and the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate joined Palestinian journalists to highlight the press’s vital role in promoting and protecting freedom of opinion and expression. During the event, 14 Palestinian journalists from across the West Bank were honored for their efforts in covering the COVID-19 pandemic and their significant contribution in reassuring the Palestinian public in times of crisis and uncertainty.
This event came after a competition launched by the EU and the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate under the title “Journalists against Covid-19”. Over 130 journalists submitted journalistic material to compete under five different categories. All categories addressed different aspects of fighting Covid-19 including the evolving narratives around the pandemic.
