Mazen Dana

Mazen Dana (43) was a cameraman for Reuters. For seven years he covered one of the most dangerous beats in the world: his hometown Hebron in the Occupied West Bank and in 2001 was awarded the International Press Freedom Award by the Committee to Protect Journalists.
Dana was shot dead by US soldiers outside Abu Ghraib prison on August 17th. Stephan Breitner, of France 2 television, told the Guardian: "We were all there for at least half an hour. They knew we were journalists. After they shot Mazen, they aimed their guns at us. I don't think it was an accident. They are very tense. They are crazy."
Mazen Dana is survived by his wife, Suzana and four children.
