Justice for Shireen: the American investigation

It’s been four years since Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was killed by Israeli forces. In those years, her family has pushed the United States government for one thing: an independent investigation into her killing that leads to real accountability. The Take looks into the push for justice in the US, and why it's been so difficult to achieve.   This is a story from the archives. This originally aired on September 5, 2022.
