Mahmoud Abbas told of concern about Gaza insecurity in open letter
Reporters Without Borders thanks Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas for
everything he did to help free TV soundman Mohammed Ouathi of the French television
station France 3, who was held hostage for nine days. At the same time, the organisation
calls for an enquiry into the circumstances of his abduction, voices concern about the
climate of insecurity for journalists working in Gaza and says it is at Abbas' disposal if
he would like to discuss how best to protect them.
