1 July 2008 | We reproduce here an article from Khalid Amayreh about the appalling treatment of the Palestinian journalist and joint winner of the 2008 Martha Gellhorn Prize for Journalism, Muhammed Omer. On returning from a tour of Europe, that included three days in London, he was detained by Israeli security forces at Allenby Bridge. Here he was interrogated and subsequently beaten up for over four hours. He lost consciousness and was hospitalised. He has now returned to the Gaza Strip, and is in hospital where he is being treated, not least for broken ribs.
