It’s six months since renowned Palestinian Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was killed while reporting in the occupied West Bank. Initially, the Israeli military denied involvement but have since admitted there is a “high likelihood” it was an accidental shooting by an Israeli soldier
Shireen’s niece Lina Abu Akleh believes the attack was intentional, and has become the face of an international campaign to demand accountability. The family has laid a complaint with the International Criminal Court and last week the US Department of Justice announced an FBI investigation. Israel has criticised this as interference in their internal affairs.
Lina was recently named one of Time Magazine’s 100 emerging leaders for 2022.
