HRRF Journalism Awards is a project of the Indian American Muslim Council (IAMC), a Washington DC-based advocacy group. “Today, we honour the unwavering courage and integrity of the journalists who have stood on the frontlines of truth, amplifying the voices of the oppressed and defending the fundamental rights of all people. Their fearless commitment to justice and religious freedom, often in the face of tremendous adversity, is not only inspiring but essential in the fight to preserve India’s pluralistic values,” said IAMC president Mohammed Jawad at the ceremony in Chicago.
