British Hack Ridley Takes On Arabic Media
YVONNE Ridley works for Press TV. She is the British journalist who converted to Islam after being kidnapped by the Taliban. The Guaradian notes:
Former Sunday Express journalist Yvonne Ridley has been awarded more than £20,000 in compensation and £5,000 costs after winning a case for unfair dismissal and sexual discrimination against the Islam Channel …
Ridley, who resigned from the channel in April last year, complained that she had effectively been dismissed after relations between her and the channel’s chief executive, Mohammed Ali, broke down.
