PARIS: Dec 22: Reporters Sans Frontieres (RSF) has condemned Israel for the beating up of a Palestinian photographer, Jaafar Achtiye, who was working for the French news agency Agence France-Presse (AFP) near Nablus in the West Bank.
Achtiye was beaten by two Israeli border policemen when he arrived at the crossing point between Nablus and the town of Salim, even though they knew he was a journalist.
They threatened to seize his camera, but changed their minds when they saw no pictures had been taken. Before they let him go, they threatened to kill him if he ever returned.
