Hamas government to sue several media outlets for biased coverage
2008-08-02
De facto government in Gaza will file a suit against Ma'an News Agency for what they describe as "mistakes" that the agency made when reporting on crimes committed by security forces in Gaza. Dr Hassan Abu Hasheesh,
His name is Hassan Abu Hasheesh? Like, wow, man. Far freakin' out.
head of the media office of the de facto government said on Friday that where Ma'an dealt "with the violations and crimes committed by the security forces in the West Bank as a campaign to restore order...it deals with the performance of the security forces in the Gaza Strip as clear violations of law."

Abu Hasheesh elaborated on his complaints during a meeting of media representatives, saying that the de facto government's media office has "addressed Ma'an Agency more than once" regarding biased coverage. He said that "the agency expressed its apology and took out the fabricated news report or article [when asked] But repeated has the same mistakes" several times since. This, he said, is why the de facto government moved the whole issue to court. "There is no other way to intervene," he concluded.

OK, I guess they better give the story from Israel's perspective once in a while.

#1  Don't laugh. If they file suit in England, they will probably win.
