Palestinian journalists boycott PA coverage
http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=JPost/JPArticle/ShowFull&cid=1076744702852

The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate in the Gaza Strip has called on its members to stop covering events related to the Palestinian Authority's security forces to protest against continued attacks on journalists.

The boycott, which goes into effect on Sunday, is also directed against the PA Ministry of Justice, which is accused of failing to take appropriate measures to punish the perpetrators.

The journalists were instructed not to cover the activities of the security forces or interview their commanders until tough measures are taken against those responsible for a spate of attacks on correspondents and newspaper and TV offices.

Abu Rizek said he did not know who set his car on fire and denied receiving threats prior to the torching. He expressed fear that he PA security forces would not make a serious effort to pursue the perpetrators, noting that similar attacks in the past remain unresolved.

Earlier this month, three more attacks on journalists were reported in Ramallah and Gaza City. In the first case, three masked Palestinian gunmen carrying AK-47 rifles stormed the offices of the Ramallah-based Al-Quds Educational Television.
