The winners of Amnesty International UK’s prestigious Media Awards 2023 have been announced this evening at a ceremony held in London, hosted by BBC News Presenter Maryam Moshiri.

The awards celebrate the best human rights journalism published and broadcast over the past year across 11 categories, including investigations, broadcast news, features, photojournalism, student media, radio and podcasts, and best use of digital media.

BBC Eye Investigations won the award for best investigation in “Finding My Torturer” – a powerful documentary which tells the story of a group of women who were arrested following anti-war demonstrations in Russia, and then worked together to expose the identity of their torturer.

BBC Online came top of the written news category for its report on the atrocities committed in Bucha.

ITV News won the broadcast news category for its Bucha War Crimes Investigation, while Al Jazeera’s “Walking reminders of atrocities” won best feature for its compelling story about state brutality in Belarus after the 2020 elections.

Amnesty’s Outstanding Impact Award, presented by the BBC’s Chief International Correspondent, Lyse Doucet, was given to Christina Lamb and photographer Claire Thomas for The Sunday Times Magazine with “I made a mistake. Why should my son pay?”
