'Reporters Without Borders' Condemns Hizbullah Restrictions On Foreign Correspondents

The Reporters Without Borders organization has condemned Hizbullah's restrictions on foreign journalists' movements, including requiring them to obtain permission from Hizbullah's information bureau.

The condemnation followed Hizbullah's August 15 hours-long detention of three Brazilian journalists working on a story on a restaurant in the Dahiya area, and its August 12 three-hour detention of a French journalist, also in the Dahiya area, during which the journalist was interrogated.
