Mike Saburi wins Mohamed Amin Award

Mike Saburi, a freelance journalist working in Zimbabwe has won the 2008 Mohamed Amin Award for his work in Zimbabwe,
"For the last 12 months Zimbabwe has been at the forefront of the international news agenda once again," Amin said. "Covering this difficult story has meant that many journalists had to work under harrowing conditions and experience regular harassment from security forces not just for themselves but for their families including home searches, threats of physical violence and actual arrests. All for the sake of bringing the world images from across Zimbabwe and tell the story of their country," he added. link via NewsBlaze
