Ramallah, April 25 (RHC)-- In the Israeli-occupied West Bank, press freedom groups are expressing alarm over the arrest of a journalist by Palestinian security forces.  Relatives say the officers presented a search warrant and arrested Hazem Naser without mention of what charge he’s being held on. 

Hazem Naser works for the Najah Broadcasting Channel, which frequently covers Israel’s demolition of Palestinian homes, the arrests of Palestinians and the condition of Palestinians held in Israeli prisons.

In a statement, the Committee to Protect Journalists said: “The authorities must explain immediately on what grounds they snatched this journalist away from his home in the middle of the night.”
