About a hundred protesters gathered Tuesday evening at the former offices of the San Diego Union-Tribune in order to demand that the newspaper formally condemn the killings of an Al Jazeera reporting team in Gaza this week.
The location of the protest was largely symbolic, as the Union-Tribune no longer has an official office downtown.
Journalist Anas al-Sharif and several other colleagues were killed in an Israeli attack that hit a tent housing press in Gaza City. The attack took place late Sunday outside the main gate of Gaza City’s al-Shifa Hospital.
Al-Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif, correspondent Mohammed Qreiqeh, and camera operators Ibrahim Zaher and Mohammed Noufal were killed, as well as freelance journalist Mohammed al-Khalidi and cameraman Momen Aliwa.
