Journalism behind bars / Palestine and international law


Listen Later

Eleanor Goldfield hosts this week’s show. In the first half-hour, we hear the story of a Texas prison inmate, his struggle to publicize the abuses that go on behind the walls, and the prison authorities’ efforts to suppress his work and retaliate against him. We also discuss the significance of prison journalism in the overall battle for press freedom.

In the second half, the latest about Palestine, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the International Criminal Court (ICC). A legal expert examines the recent ICJ opinion on the illegality of the Israeli occupation, as well as the ICC’s possible issuance of an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
