Saima Mohsin Wins Right To Sue CNN For Unfair Dismissal & Discrimination After Injury On Assignment
EXCLUSIVE: Former CNN journalist Saima Mohsin has won the right to take the news network to an employment tribunal in the UK with her claim of unfair dismissal and discrimination after she was injured on assignment in Israel.
Judge Klimov ruled in Mohsin’s favor following a preliminary hearing last month, meaning that her case can proceed to a full tribunal at the London Central Employment Tribunal.
A date for the hearing is yet to be determined. CNN declined to comment. The Warner Bros. Discovery-owned network disputed Mohsin’s case on territorial grounds, arguing that her employment contract meant that the UK tribunal did not have jurisdiction over her claims.
Mohsin, who now works on a freelance basis for Sky News, was injured on assignment in Jerusalem for CNN in 2014 when she was covering the Israel-Palestine conflict.
