STATEMENT ON PROTECTION OF JOURNALISTS
The Council of Elders of Metropolitan Community Churches (MCC) mourn the loss of Shireen Abu Akleh, a longtime reporter with the Al Jazeera Arabic network who was killed while covering an Israeli army operation in the West Bank town of Jenin on May 11. The organization Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has called for an international investigation of Abu Akleh’s death.
Akleh was pre-deceased by Yasser Murtaja (Gaza), Simone Camilli (Italy), Fadel Shaana (Palestine), James Miller (Britain), and more than a dozen others covering the violence in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Please visit the website below to read the full statement.
