Woman in hijab taking photo with camera and text that reads 'PEN Perth in solidarity with PEN International - Investigate Israel's killing of journalists.'
Text in quotation marks that reads: 'We mourn and condemn the killing of five Palestinian journalists in Gaza, including prominent correspondents Anas Al Sharif and Mohammed Qreiqeh. These were civilians, protected under international law, whose only crime was telling the truth. Their deliberate killing is clearly intended to silence reporting on the attempted annihilation wreaked upon the people of Gaza." End quote. From Romana Cacchioli, PEN International executive Director.
PEN is outraged by the targeted extra-judicial killing of five Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza. Israel must be held accountable.
Join us in writing to your local MP, Senator Penny Wong or PM @albomp.bsky.social to call for the Australian government to hold those responsible to account.
