109 ICHR sent many letters about the complaints it received, demanding from the Security Services (Intelligence Services and Preventive Security Services) the release of the detained journalists. But the majority of the responses received were typical, stating that the arrests were based on charges of breaches of security and public order. Nevertheless, affidavits received by ICHR state that investigation with the journalists was due to the background of their media work. In the Gaza Strip, the Security Services of the Interior Ministry arrested and detained journalists and people working in the mass media for reasons attributed to the fact that these journalists worked with prohibited mass media, such as Palestine TV and the Voice of Palestine Radio. They had been accused of incitement against the Gaza Government. Hassan Abu Hashish, Head of the Government Media Office said some websites and media institutions are considered secure by the media office, including the “Palestine Press, Al‐Ahed website, Amad website, Fatah Forum, Firas Press website, Al‐Kofiye Press, Fatah Central Media website, WAFA Agency, and Palestine Television,”119 although there was no judicial decision prohibiting their work. According to the provisions of Palestinian Law and the data available by ICHR, the Security Services of the Interior Ministry detained several journalists and people working with media institutions during the year 2010. In this regard, ICHR received many complaints from journalists who were arbitrarily arrested by the Security Services and without due process, as well as from journalists who were subjected to attacks and were prevented from broadcasting certain events. Some journalists, who have been questioned or arrested in the Gaza Strip, have also been investigated in a range of ways. Among them are questions about: 1) their work and their press activity in terms of coverage of events, photography, writing, or communication with the stations banned from working in Gaza Strip, such as Palestine Satellite, which broadcasts from Ramallah, or Wafa News Agency or Al‐Ayyam and Al‐Hayyat Newspapers issued in Ramallah; 2) their ways of working with these stations; 3) the relationship of those stations and satellite TV channels and journalists with Fatah Movement and the Government in Ramallah; 4) sending or suspicion of sending media materials for these stations or newspapers or agencies in the West Bank, especially if it comes to news and activities related to human rights violations committed by the Security Services of the Interior Ministry in the Gaza Strip; 5) coverage of news the Government does not want to be published in the media; 6) suspicion in writing news about the 119 http://www.fpnp.net/ar/news/41890_%D8%A3%D8%
