GAZA, (PIC)-- The forum of Palestinian journalists strongly denounced the arrest campaigns that are launched mutually by the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Israel against Palestinian journalists in the West Bank, especially the recent detention of three of them as they were covering events related to Jerusalem and the Aqsa Mosque.

In a press release on Friday, the forum said that the PA intelligence agency kidnapped cameraman Mus'ab Saeed on Thursday outside Al-Bireh municipal council and confiscated his camera after he covered a symposium on the Aqsa Mosque staged by organizers of the Palestinian campaign "I have the right to pray at the Aqsa"

It affirmed that the arrest of Saeed took place concurrently with the detention of two other cameramen by the Israeli police as they were taking photos of Jewish settlers defiling the Aqsa Mosque under police protection.

The forum also said that the Israeli occupation forces prevented on Friday a number of journalists from entering Kafr Qaddum village to cover the weekly march against settlement activities.

The forum stressed that the arrest of journalists covering events in support of the Aqsa Mosque reflects the behavioral deviance of those in charge of the PA security apparatuses.
