HRW, Ilhan Omar criticized for sharing think tank report attacking Iran activist


Ismaeel Naar, Al Arabiya English Friday, 10 January 2020

Twitter users have criticized Human Rights Watch’s Middle East director Sarah Leah Whitson and Democratic congresswoman Ilhan Omar after they retweeted an article by a think tank which attacked the credentials of an Iranian activist who now works for the US government-funded Voice of America (VoA) news network.

The article by the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft’s article argued that US outlets who host Alinejad on their programs must declare the VoA journalist as a US government-paid individual.

The article in question about the credentials of activist Masih Alinejad – who currently works as a journalist for the Voice of America Persian service – was posted by the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, a think tank created in September which lists Trita Parsi as its vice president.
