Shireen Abu Aqla: Violence at Al Jazeera reporter’s funeral in Jerusalem
Police with riot gear hit mourners, saying they were pelted with stones, as crowds carry her coffin. …
This seemed to go on for around 10 minutes, as we sought a safe route back towards the car park. After we came out, the coffin left in the hearse through the gates. And now videos have emerged showing what happened while people were rushing inside – Israeli police beating and kicking the pallbearers, who were in retreat carrying Shireen Abu Aqla’s coffin. At one stage it nearly slipped from their grasp, falling towards the ground.
