<p>RAMALLAH, (PIC)&#8211; Dozens joined a sit-in Monday noon outside of the Israeli Ofer prison near Ramallah/Baituniya in the occupied West Bank as Israeli occupation authorities continue to hold four Palestinian reporters.</p>
<p>Among the protesters were Palestinian and foreign reporters, senior officials from Palestinian factions, representatives from the Palestinian Prisoner Society, rights groups, and news syndicates.</p>
<p>Participants raised placcards with pictures of head of Al-Jazeera’s Afghanistan bureau Samer Allawi, who was arrested two weeks ago, as well as three other Palestinian reporters still being held in the Israeli prisons.</p>
<p>Al-Jazeera’s Palestinian bureau head Walid al-Omari, who joined the sit-in, called on the Israeli occupation authorities to immediately release the Palestinian reporters, describing their arrest as a violation of international law.</p>
<p>PPS head Kaddura Faris, who spoke outside of the main gates of the Ofer prison where the reporters are being prosecuted, stated that Israel persecutes every Palestinian &#8211; whether reporter or not &#8211; who opposes the occupation.</p>
