Establishes Sahar Journalists' Assistance Fund
The
Institute of War and Peace Reporting (IWPR) has established a new fund,
in honour of Sahar al-Haideri, to support exiled or disabled journalists
around the world to participate in its training and reporting programmes.
The
Sahar Journalists’ Assistance Fund, a designated fund under the
authority of IWPR’s Board of Trustees, will be used to support local
journalists in cases of exile or disability, or to assist their families
in case of death in service.
The
Sahar Journalists' Assistance Fund is named in honour of Iraqi
journalist Sahar al-Haideri, who was assassinated by unknown gunmen in
Mosul in June.
