"In Gaza City, dozens of reporters holding signs saying 'Free Alan' and 'Stop Security Chaos and Lawlessness' marched to the office of Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniya, as he was convening his weekly cabinet session.
The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate (PJS) also called for a three-day media boycott of the Palestinian Authority (PA), starting Monday.
Its chairman, Naim Toubasi, asked journalists to refrain from covering any news about the PA, to protest its failure to secure Johnston's release.
A statement issued by the PSJ Monday threatened to expand the boycott by calling on civilians to boycott all PA institutions, ministries and offices.
The PJS organized the rally in Ramallah jointly with the Foreign Press Association (FPA), which represents foreign correspondents covering Israel and the Palestinian areas."
