CPJ calls on UN to investigate Israel's arbitrary detention of Palestinian journalists

In an urgent appeal submitted to the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, the Committee to Protect Journalists said that Israel is "utilising administrative detention to detain a record number of Palestinian journalists without charge during the Israel-Gaza war".

The CPJ called on the UN to investigate the cases of journalists Moath Amarneh, Mohammad Badr, and Ameer Abu Iram, "all of whom have been detained without charge by Israel after the start of the Israel-Gaza war on October 7, 2023".
