Israeli blackout over Syrian journalist

The Israeli authorities refuse to talk about the 14-month imprisonment of Syrian journalist Ata Farahat, according to the press watchdog, Reporters Without Borders. It is not known why Farahat, a correspondent for the daily al-Watan and for Syria's public television, has been in custody since July last year. The Israeli media has been banned by court order from publishing news about the case, including the nature of the charges. (Via RWB)
