(Free Beacon) The Washington Post quietly amended a piece on “Palestinian prisoners” to note that the original version cited the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network without mentioning that the group is sanctioned in the United States for funding the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terrorist organization.
“A previous version of this article referred to Samidoun as an activist network that supports Palestinian prisoners,” the Post wrote in a “clarification” note. “However, it failed to note that the United States says the group is an international fundraiser for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which Washington has placed under sanctions.”
The piece still refers to Samidoun as “a group supporting Palestinian prisoners” but now includes its status as “a fundraiser for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which is under U.S. sanctions.”
