Shireen Justice: An American Study | Story

It has been four years since Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was killed by Israeli forces. In those years, his family has pressed the United States government for one thing: an independent investigation into his murder that leads to real accountability. The Take focuses on enforcing justice in the US, and why it has been so difficult to achieve.

This is a story from the past. This was revealed on September 5, 2022. No dates, titles or other references since then have been changed.
