#EyeofTruth Shows Global Solidarity With Palestinian Photographer

Published November 19th, 2019 - 07:45 GMT

"The eyes of truth will never be blinded," protesters' placards read, as Palestinian journalists wore eye patches on Sunday to decry the wounding of a colleague in the occupied West Bank.

Muath Amarneh has been in an Israeli hospital since he was hit in the eye on Friday during clashes between Israeli border police and Palestinian demonstrators in the village of Surif, close to Hebron in the southern West Bank.

Dozens of Palestinian journalists rallied on Sunday - protesting with one eye covered in solidarity, while hundreds more, including celebrities, imitated the move online using the hashtags #MuathEye, #EyeofTruth and #We_are_MuathAmarneh in Arabic.
