Dozens of Palestinian and international journalists were teargassed by Israeli security forces as they held a protest near the Qalandia checkpoint north of Jerusalem on Saturday, to denounce Israel's violations against reporters.
Several people, including the head of the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate Nasser Abu Baker, reportedly suffered from suffocation as Israeli forces deployed teargas against the rally participants.
The President of the International Federation of Journalists, Philippe Leruth, took part in the demonstration and condemned the actions of the Israeli security forces saying: "this is not acceptable.
If Israel is a democracy, it has to accept the role of journalists: Palestinian, Israeli journalists, journalists from all over the world."
"Reacting with teargas is not reaction of a democratic state," he added.
