Palestinian journalist Mamdouh Hamamreh from Bethlehem was sentenced on Thursday to one year in prison for “insulting” Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Facebook....Hamamreh, who works for the Palestinian Al-Quds TV station, was found guilty of sharing a photo on Facebook that compared Abbas with a villain who played the role of a French spy in a popular Syrian TV series.Here is the offending comparison:
Yeah, so how do I come into the story, you may ask? Here is how: in a post six years ago I have revealed a real "separated at birth" twin of His Excellency the President:
Any unprejudiced observer would agree that this pair displays a much better likeness than the previous one. For obvious reasons I can't argue re the offensiveness of my discovery, but still - you must agree that Mr Hamamreh isn't a pioneer in this domain.
So there.
Update: According to the radio, the journalist got pardoned by His Excellency the President personally. Did this post work so fast? And will PA go after me now? Oh well...
