Palestinian journalist Maha Hussaini’s ‘Courage in Journalism Award’ rescinded
“If winning a prize entails enduring and witnessing all these war crimes while remaining silent, then I am not honoured to receive any prizes.”
Maha Hussaini, a Palestinian journalist, was awarded the Courage in Journalism Award by the International Women’s Media Foundation (IWMF) for her reporting from the war-torn Gaza Strip.
However, following allegations made by conservative US publication the Washington Free Beacon, the IWMF on Thursday said it was rescinding the award.
Since Israel’s war on Gaza began in October, Hussaini has published dozens of stories with Middle East Eye, including a report uncovering Israeli field executions of Palestinians, which was used as evidence by South Africa at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in its case accusing Israel of genocide.
