Israel gets totalitarian - live

 IMEMC/Agencies 7 June -- The Palestinian Broadcasting Corporation (PBC)
strongly denounced the Israeli military invasion against its Jerusalem
branch, during live broadcast, and the detention of two employees and a
guest speaker. It said 'the attack is yet another example of Israeli
assaults against the Palestinians, and their media departments.'  The army
and police claimed the broadcast is not licensed by Israel, 'therefore
illegal and must be stopped', while the PBC stated that it is legally
operating in occupied East Jerusalem, and obtained all permits similar to
all Arab and foreign agencies operating in Jerusalem. It added that, on
Friday morning, the Police told the director of Good Morning
Jerusalem, Ibrahim Qleibo, and the program host, to stop the show . The
Police broke into the Pal Media office in occupied Jerusalem, and kidnapped
show director Nader Bebers, Pal Media Coordinator Ashfar Shweiki, in
addition to Ala’ al-Haddad, member of a detainees’ committee in occupied
Jerusalem. Show host Mona Abu ‘Assab was forced to end her live show
under gunpoint, after the police and the army invaded the offices and the
studio ... Israeli police spokesperson, Luba Samri, said the attack was
part of what she called 'an investigation into the contents of the show',
according to Ma'an News Agency. Samri confirmed three were kidnapped
during the raid, and that they were released later on, and alleged 'no
programs were interrupted during the attack'. The three were interrogated
for several hours, and were denied legal representation.
