Gaza reporter appeals prison sentence, fine

None

A Gaza journalist is appealing a six-month prison term and fine over her reporting on alleged corruption within the Hamas-run Health Ministry.

 

Hajar Harb appeared before a Hamas-run court on Tuesday, where the judge postponed the hearing until March.

 

Fathi Sabah, a journalist campaigning on her behalf, says it's the first time Hamas authorities have sued a journalist for their work since the Islamic militant group seized Gaza by force in 2007.
