Yusuf Jameel, India

Prior to joining The Asian Age, Jameel was a correspondent for India’s Sunday newsmagazine, Ravivar (its Hindi counterpart), and for Calcutta’s The Telegraph newspaper. He has investigated human rights abuses, including a mass rape of about 30 Kashmiri women near the Line of Control, the disappearance of Kashmiri youth after their arrest by Indian troops fighting in the region, terror by insurgents and its social implications, and corruption by Kashmiri politicians. For his courageous reporting of the Kashmir conflict, Jameel won the Committee to Protect Journalists’ International Press Freedom Award in 1996. In 1989, he won India’s Mulk Raj Saraf Award for Best Reporter of the Year. Jameel also worked for 11 years as a correspondent for the British Broadcasting Corporation, Reuters news service, and TIME magazine. While with the BBC in 1995, he survived a parcel bomb explosion after a colleague in the office opened the package addressed to Jameel.
