UK service honours slain reporter Shireen Abu Akleh’s life, work

Dozens of people in the UK's capital have attended a memorial service for Shireen Abu Akleh, the veteran Al Jazeera journalist who was shot dead by Israeli forces last month while on a reporting assignment in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin. The service on Tuesday took place at St Bride's Church in central London. The thanksgiving service was a chance for participants to honour Abu Akleh and remember her life and work. It hosted via video link Abu Akleh's collegaue, Ali al-Samoudi, who was shot with her at the same incident, in addition to Palestinian artist Reem Kilani and Lina Abu Akleh, the slain journalist's niece.
