JOURNALISTS FACE DANGER!
US court orders Syria to pay $302.5 mn over death of reporter Colvin
Washington (AFP) - A US court
has found the Syrian government culpable in the 2012 death of journalist
Marie Colvin, ordering a $302.5 million judgment for what it called an
"unconscionable" attack that targeted journalists.
Colvin -- a renowned war
correspondent whose harrowing career was celebrated in the recent Golden
Globe-nominated film "A Private War" -- was killed in the Syrian army's
deliberate shelling of the Baba Amr Media Center in Homs on February
22, 2012.
