Palestinian Authority police arrest Bethlehem journalist George Canawati

Palestinian Authority police on Sunday arrested Bethlehem journalist and broadcaster George Canawati on suspicion of “slander” and “insults.”

Canawati, director of Radio Bethlehem 2000, appeared on Monday in court with a black eye and torn shirt. He announced that he had gone on a hunger-strike in protest against his arrest and beating.

He complained that PA policemen physically assaulted him before and during his interrogation.

The court ordered him remanded into custody for 48 hours.
