JPC blasts Israeli brutality, airstrike on media houses
DHAKA, May 17, 2021 (BSS) – Jatiya Press Club (JPC) today blasted the Israeli brutality on innocent Palestinians and airstrikes targeting a multi-storey structure housing the international AP news agency, Al-Jazeera TV network and other media.
In a statement issued after a virtual meeting with its President Farida Yasmin in the chair, JPC expressed solidarity with Palestinians and grief over the loss of innocent lives caused by the Israeli attacks.
The statement said JPC General Secretary Elias Khan conducted the meeting that reviewed the ongoing situation in Palestine and particularly the Israeli airstrike that leveled the 12-story Al-Jalaa Tower, housing the media outlets.
“The JPC leaders urged all concerned to ensure peace and stability there and safety and security of the people including the members of the media in the conflict zones,” it read.
