British-Pakistani journalist and former CNN reporter, Saima Mohsin, on Monday (July 10) said she is suing the United States-based broadcaster for alleged discrimination and unfair termination of employment after she was severely injured during an assignment in Israel. The employment tribunal claim will be brought to court in London, United Kingdom, which says that the network had failed to support her after the life-changing injury.
What happened to Saima Mohsin during the assignment in Israel?
According to a report by The Guardian, Mohsin was left disabled when she was reporting from Jerusalem on the Israel-Palestine conflict back in 2014 after her cameraman ran over her foot with a car. The injury left the now-former CNN reporter unable to sit, stand and walk, which in turn also affected her ability to work full-time.

The incident had reportedly caused severe tissue damage to Saima Mohsin’s foot and the CNN foreign correspondent requested alternative duties and support for rehabilitation which the US-based broadcaster refused.
