Iraq War Logs wins Amnesty Award

May 25th, 2011 | by admin | Published in Top stories

The Bureau of Investigative Journalism picked up the Digital Media prize for it’s dedicated website www.iraqwarlogs.com at the 2011 Amnesty Media Awards on Tuesday.

The Iraq War Logs, a specialist website exploring the records of US forces’ actions in Iraq, obtained by Wikileaks, exposes human rights abuses by coalition and Iraqi troops during the conflict.

The coveted awards, in their 20th year, recognise excellence in human rights reporting and acknowledge journalism’s significant contribution to the public’s awareness and understanding of human rights issues.

Accepting the award on behalf of the team, the Bureau’s Deputy Director Rachel Oldroyd urged the audience to remember the continued struggles in Iraq in the week that UK forces completed their withdrawal from the country.
