The Palestine Center for Prisoner Studies said Israeli occupation forces hold 39 Palestinian journalists in harsh conditions, charged solely with exposing alleged occupation crimes through reporting. The center characterized the detentions as punishment for transmitting facts about the conflict, Shehab Wire reported.
The journalists face incarceration despite having no charges beyond their work documenting events, according to the center's statement.
