Anas Al Sharif, Mohammeel Qraiqea, Ibrahim Al Taher, Mohamed Nofal, and Moamen Aliwa understood their assignment: report and document the atrocities in Gaza and demand that the world act. They were killed by an Israeli air strike simply for doing their jobs and showing the truth to the world. Far too many journalists have been targeted and killed for daring to speak truth to power.

Rolling Stone MENA will always stand on the side of journalists and honor their bravery and courage. Journalism is not a crime.
