Hamdan Ballal, Palestinian Oscar-winning director, released after detention by Israeli military
ai generated text
Ballal and two other Palestinians were released by the Israeli authorities after being detained in the occupied West Bank. Ballal's appearance after his release showed visible facial bruising, suggesting that the initial report of being beaten was accurate.
The forces apprehended three Palestinians suspected of hurling rocks at them, as well as an Israeli civilian involved in the violent confrontation. The detainees were taken for further questioning by the Israel Police.
Shortly after we were attacked, Hamdan was blindfolded and handcuffed.
CPJ is appalled that we are once again seeing Palestinians weeping over the bodies of dead journalists in Gaza.
This nightmare in Gaza has to end. The international community must act fast to ensure that journalists are kept safe and hold Israel to account for the deaths of Hossam Shabat and Mohammed Mansour. Journalists are civilians and it is illegal to attack them in a war zone.
A group of settlers just lynched Hamdan Ballal, co-director of our film No Other Land. They beat him and he has injuries in his head and stomach, bleeding.
This might be their revenge on us for making the movie. It feels like a punishment.
