Israel’s parliament removes hallway cameras from press wing
Security cameras recently installed in the renovated part of the Israeli Knesset where journalists now have their offices have been removed, following a request by the chairman of the Knesset journalists and a number of reporters. The chairman of the Knesset journalists, Ya'akov Eichler, wrote Knesset director general Avi Balashnikov that the Knesset reporters were ‘stunned’ to find the two security cameras when they returned from recess. The reporters offices were moved two months ago to more spacious quarters. Eichler noted that there had been attempts to install cameras in the old office corridor, ostensibly for security purposes, but the attempt was stopped due to journalists' privilege. Cameras are installed in Knesset corridors and record everything that happens there. The films are stored for an extended time in the computers of the Knesset Guard. (Haaretz)
