Forty days later, ceremonies in memory of the American-Palestinian journalist killed in the West Bank are taking place this weekend. This Saturday, a religious ceremony was celebrated in East Jerusalem in memory of Shireen Abu Akleh.
With our correspondent in Jerusalem, Michael Paul
A sober religious ceremony, in this small Greek Catholic church in the neighborhood of Beit Hanina, in East Jerusalem.
A mass in memory of Shireen Abu Akleh, the Al Jazeera TV reporter who was shot in the head near Jenin in the northern West Bank.
Sisters in tears, a few rare Palestinian personalities. But it is above all a family ceremony.
Lina Abu Akleh speaks with admiration of her Aunt Shireen.
It described the reality of Palestinians under occupation. She wanted to be remembered for exactly what she stood for: telling the truth, talking about the Palestinians, and above all about justice for the Palestinians.
The truth is what those close to Shireen are demanding. Walid Al Omari is the bureau chief of the Qatari television channel
What we are doing now at Al Jazeera, and his family as well, on the sidelines of independent investigations, which are important, is to seek justice for Shireen.
Other ceremonies are planned this weekend, notably in Ramallah, to mark the forty days of the tragic death of the American-Palestinian journalist.
