DETENTION OF FEMALE JOURNALIST EXTENDED

JERUSALEM,-- The Israeli court in Jerusalem on Monday extended the detention of Palestinian journalist Isra’a Salhab till next Friday for further interrogation.

The Mada media center has denounced the Israeli detention of the Jerusalemite journalist, who works with the Quds TV, describing it as part of the harassment against journalists.

The Israeli police had summoned Salhab on 16 November and questioned her for two hours after which she was taken out of the interrogation room handcuffed and taken to custody.

The Israeli occupation forces had detained Salhab’s husband Shadi Zahde almost a month earlier and he is still held in custody.
