Reporters Without Borders says it is concerned about an increase in arrests and prosecutions of 'netizens' and journalists in in the West Bank. "The authorities are taking utterly disproportionate measures against journalists," the group said Friday. The organization is particularly worried about the health of Asmat Abdul Khaleq, who was transferred to hospital six days after being arrested by the security services in Ramallah in late March. She is accused of insulting President Mahmoud Abbas on Facebook. RSF urges the authorities to "free her at once and drop all the charges against her."
