Palestinian refugees and activists in AlBab city, on Aleppo’s northern outskirts, north of Syria, joined a vigil held in protest at the cold-blooded murder of veteran Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh by an Israeli sniper.
The protesters raised Palestinian flags and Shrieen’s photos and lifted banners condemning Israeli crimes against journalists and against innocent Palestinians.
Shireen was killed last Wednesday in Jenin refugee camp, in the occupied West Bank. Israeli occupying forces shot her in the head. She was murdered while reporting Israel’s crimes. She was wearing her PRESS vest.
This heinous crime was committed in cold blood against a journalist wearing a press-marked uniform, in a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and international conventions and norms, which stipulate that journalists and media workers must be protected.
This act of murder is not only a sign of Israel’s ceaseless endeavors to silence the voices of those who have always stood on the right side of history but is also a sign of its ruthless attempts to cover up its human rights abuses in the occupied Palestinian territory and whitewash its crimes against humanity.
