“Muath’s eye”.. The world stands in solidarity with Palestinian blinded journalist
Occupied Palestine (QNN)- Human rights activists and journalists launched a solidarity campaign for Muath Amarneh, a Palestinian journalist who lost his left eye when Israeli soldiers deliberately sniped it while he was covering confrontations in Hebron on last Friday.
Amarneh (32 years old), who works for a Palestinian media outlet, was the first to document the crime of executing Omar Badawi in Arroub refugee camp last week, which was probably the reason why the Israelis decided to punish him, shooting at his eye.
The hashtag #MuathEye trended in several countries, while many journalists and human rights activists in the Arab world and everywhere else tweeted and posted on the hashtag, showing solidarity with Amarneh and journalism and protesting against the Israeli crime.
Deputy Foreign Editor of The National, Jack Moore, wrote: “”The eyes of truth will never be blinded.”
Today, dozens of Palestinian journalists protested the shooting of Muath Amarneh, who lost his eye after an Israeli soldier fired at him last Friday.
He was wearing press markings. 60 have been hit this year. #MuathEye #عين_معاذ”
