Women Press Freedom condemns CNN’s efforts to block Saima Mohsin's case for unfair dismissal and disability discrimination.

Injured while reporting in Israel, Saima was unfairly dismissed and has faced ongoing legal battles.

Despite her victory in taking the case to a UK tribunal, CNN appealed this decision, with a hearing on September 5, and has been granted permission to proceed with their appeal.

Journalists must be protected, not punished, for injuries sustained on the job.
