9:30pm on Tuesday 7 September 2010, the Police Investigations Unit in Gaza interrupted and prohibited a literary event organized by the cinema forum in the As-Sammak Restaurant, west of Gaza City.
Information available to Al Mezan indicates that the forum had followed the legal procedure and obtained permission from the same Police Investigations Unit to organize the event.
However, members of the Unit appeared at the restaurant and banned it.
They detained two of event’s organizers and the owner of the restaurant.
They forced the administration of the restaurant to sign a document obliging him not to allow for what it called ‘illegal evenings and parties in breach of the law’.
