""Of the two papers that he writes for, it was the Jordanian one that on
January 29 published his report on claims of corruption at the Palestinian
diplomatic mission in France. The report alleged that the mission's deputy
ambassador, Safwat Ibraghit, compels Palestinian students to spy on Muslim
groups in France and relay information to Palestinian and foreign intelligence
services. Al-Shayeb also claimed that Maliki, Palestinian National Fund director
Dr. Ramzi Khouri, and Abu Nabil, who handles funds for Fatah, were responsible
for Ibraghit's promotion, despite complaints that have been leveled against him. "The same day, incidentally, another journalist, Rami Samara, who works for
the official Palestinian news service Wafa and for a local radio station, was
arrested. The pretext for his detention was a mocking Facebook entry he posted
that ridiculed the PLO's decision to resume negotiations with Israel (talks
which, as expected, were deferred ). The two journalists were released in the
evening; before their release, the Palestinian Journalists Union in the West
Bank staged a rally on their behalf at Ramallah's Manara Square. "" (thanks "Ibn Rushd")
