Alan Johnston gets human rights award
Alan Johnston, the BBC reporter who was released by his Gaza kidnappers, was honoured by Amnesty International with a prestigious award for human rights reporting. Johnston, 45, was freed by the Army of Islam early yesterday after spending 114 days in captivity after being snatched from his car in Gaza.
His father Graham accepted the award on his behalf at a ceremony in central London. The Amnesty award aims to acknowledge contributions made by journalists to raising awareness and understanding of human rights issues. ?It?s been quite a day,? Graham Johnston said. ?I know he will be highly honoured to have received this ... We are just so thankful that he?s back.? Johnston was selected for the award before news of his release.
