Reuters Cameraman Remanded for Inciting Rock Attacks
On Tuesday, a Reuters cameraman was remanded to prison until trial for his part in rock-throwing attacks on security forces in Bil’in, where the separation fence is a constant target of protesters.
The cameraman, Imad Muhammad Intisar Boghnat, was arrested and charged as a result of violent riots in the Arab village of Bil’in, in the Modi’in region, on October 6, 2006. A videotape that the prosecution presented to the judge shows Boghnat encouraging and directing rioters in Bil’in to throw large chunks of rock at Israeli vehicles in such a way as to cause maximum damage. The accused is heard shouting, “Throw, throw!” and later, “Throw towards the little window!”
Reuters has allowed itself to become the news service of terrorist sympathizers enablers participants. Given the fauxtography scandal over two months ago, to allow people like Boghnat to remain as contributors has to be seen as a conscious, and erroneous, business decision.
