The Palestinian Center for Development and Media Freedoms (MADA) strongly condemns the kidnapping and assault of a senior journalist in Gaza, and his week-long detention.
MADA says Alsho'la news agency chief editor Saher Aqra' was kidnapped by men affiliated with internal security in Gaza and assaulted while being detained, from 23 August 2012 until 30 August 2012.
Aqra' told MADA Center that while returning from his family home to his house in Gaza City, on Salah al-Din Street, seven cars blocked his way. He escaped once and continued on his way, but when he reached the area of Al-Saraya, Aqra said he was blocked again by a jeep and two cars. Masked and armed men then kidnapped and blindfolded him and took him to an unknown location. more
