LONDON
An unfair dismissal case filed by British Pakistani journalist Saima Mohsin against CNN will be heard by a tribunal in the UK, the journalist confirmed this week.
She tweeted, “I won! I won the hearing against CNN Employment Tribunal will hear my case on unfair dismissal disability discrimination & equalplay in London.”
Ms Mohsin, who now works for Sky News, was left differently-abled after an accident while reporting from Jerusalem on the Israel-Palestine conflict in 2014. Reports quote Ms Mohsin as saying her cameraman ran over her foot in a car, causing severe tissue damage that left her struggling to sit, stand and walk or return to work full-time
Ms Mohsin said that although she requested for alternative duties and support for rehabilitation from CNN, she was refused.
This week, she posted a statement to confirm that an employment tribunal in the UK will hear her case. Ms Mohsin welcomed the news.
