blogolobThe International Herald Tribune reports that the journalist, Saif el-Deen Shahin, who worked for the Al-Arabiya network in the Gaza Strip, is seeking asylum in Norway after having been beaten up and threatened for describing the kidnappers of BBC reporter Alan Johnston as criminals.
“We came to Norway because I, my wife and children received death threats, and we decided to leave Gaza where I could not continue as a free-speaking journalist,” Saif el-Deen Shahin was quoted as saying in a report on [Norwegian state broadcaster] NRK’s Web site.
