WaPo Issues ‘Clarification’ Acknowledging It Cited Sanctioned Terror Financier in Piece on ‘Palestinian Prisoners’
30th January 2025
“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.” The Post also removed a link to a Samidoun blog titled, “90 Palestinian prisoners liberated by the Resistance on the first day of the Flood of the Free,” which included photos featuring Hamas flags and the late terrorist leader Yahya Sinwar.
