Overview

• In 2014, journalist Saima Mohsin suffered a severe foot injury while on assignment for CNN in Israel that left her with limited mobility and chronic pain.
• Mohsin claims CNN denied her request for alternative duties and opportunities, stating she did not have the desired appearance for an on-air role.
• Mohsin alleges racial and disability discrimination, stating that white correspondents were given preferential treatment for high-profile assignments and opportunities.
• Mohsin is suing CNN for unfair dismissal, disability discrimination, and racial discrimination in a London court, though CNN is arguing that the terms of her contract prevent her from bringing a legal claim in London.
• If the case proceeds, it is set to be heard by an Employment Tribunal in London.
