By: Ewen MacAskill Conal Urquhart
Published in: The Guardian
Date of issue: Thursday, 26 August 2004
Topic(s) addressed:
- Censorship: Israeli restrictions on Israeli journalists' freedom of movement in West Bank/Gaza

The PA's only role was to suppress its own people, and maybe we see the end of the acceptance of this role by Hamas and others at the receiving end of the PA's brutality.
»A British journalist, Ewa Jasiewicz, was ordered to be deported from Israel yesterday after a court ruled that her "naivety" could be exploited by Palestinian militants. Jasiewicz, 26, a freelance journalist who writes for the leftwing monthly Red Pepper, went to court after being refused entry to the country on August 11. She has been detained at Ben Gurion airport since then.«
»Yael Barda, Jasiewicz's lawyer, said: "Two judges in Israel have decided that Ms Jasiewicz is not a security threat, yet they have denied her entry into Israel because of her ideological beliefs."«
»Meanwhile the head of a Palestinian security agency was seriously injured yesterday in an assassination attempt in Gaza City. Two of his bodyguards were killed when their two-car convoy was ambushed by three gunmen.«
