The journalist lost his eye after being wounded while covering a protest in the occupied Palestinian West Bank.
Thousands of social media users have taken part in a campaign to support Palestinian freelance journalist Muath Amarneh, who lost his eye after being wounded while covering a protest in the occupied West Bank last week.
Social media users from a variety of backgrounds – including teachers, students, and youth organisations from dozens of countries across the world, ranging from the US to Malaysia, have joined the online movement. “The heavy price that Amarneh paid for being both a Palestinian and a journalist is not an anomaly. Indeed at least 60 Palestinian journalists have been targeted and injured from Israeli bullets this year,” she told Al Jazeera.
