Canadian Asn. of Jouralists
Earlier this summer, a team of four Al Jazeera journalists and two freelance reporters were killed in a bombing by Israel. In the hours and days since we learned of the killing, we have also received considerable correspondence from members who have expressed their desire to see the CAJ issue a statement condemning the killings.
The CAJ’s position has always been, and always will be, that attacks on journalists anywhere in the world are attacks on journalism. Full stop.
Sunday’s deliberate attack was a devastating, appalling, and tragic loss of life. Once again, we join the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), Reporters Without Borders (RSF), and other media organizations in condemning Israel’s killing of a team of Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza, and more than 190 others since Oct. 7, 2023. These acts are egregious breaches of humanitarian law and require independent investigations.
