Petition to Demand a Full Investigation into the Assassination of Shireen Abu Akleh

Sign the Petition Demanding that the U.S. Government Press for a Full, Independent, and International Investigation into the Assassination of Shireen Abu Akleh

On May 11, 2022, in Jenin, Occupied Palestine, revered Palestinian voice Shireen Abu Akleh, a Palestinian American journalist for Al Jazeera, was assassinated by Israeli Occupation Forces snipers. Her brutal murder was caught on video by other journalists accompanying her as they covered Israeli forces attacking Jenin. This is a war crime by international law, and just another instance of Israel using American tax dollars to further  censor and oppress Palestinian voices.

Shireen was an iconic voice that covered the occupation for over 20 years. Her name resonates in every Palestinian home, globally. Those  in the diaspora looked to her for news of our homeland. An inspiration for women looking to become journalists themselves, she paved the way for so many to follow in her footsteps, leaving behind a legacy that will continue to outshine the occupation which killed her.

Join ADC in demanding Secretary Blinken, Ambassador Tom Nides, and the entirety of the Biden Administration press for a full, independent, and international investigation into the assassination of Shireen.
