Response to this claim
The facts of the confrontation near Abu Falah in which Heidi Levine was allegedly assaulted remain unclear, and the investigation must establish who initiated the violence.
“To be clear: Some facts are neither in dispute nor unclear. Our photographer was clearly marked as Press. She was clearly beaten. These are not partisan or risible statements, but indisputable. We urge a thorough investigation and accountability.”
