Hamas 'must let newspapers into Gaza'

The Committee to Protect Journalists (CJP) has called on Hamas authorities in Gaza to allow three Palestinian newspapers to circulate freely in the territory.

The pro-Fatah West Bank newspapers - Al-Hayat al-Jadida, Al-Ayyam, and Al-Quds - say their staff were not allowed entry to Gaza unless they agreed to sign a document stating they would not criticise the government.

The CPJ's deputy director Robert Mahoney said: "To demand that newspapers agree not to criticise the government is an unacceptable form of censorship."
