Danish Siddiqui’s son, 6, accepts his Pulitzer Prize
Late photojournalist Danish Siddiqui’s six-year-old son, Yunus Siddiqui (in the middle of the picture), accepted his father’s Pulitzer award in New York on Friday. Siddiqui, associated with news agency Reuters, won the 2022 Pulitzer Prize in the category of Feature Photography along with Adnan Abidi, Sanna Irshad Mattoo, and Amit Dave for their images of Covid’s toll on India. Siddiqui was killed last year while covering the war between Afghan troops and the Taliban in the Spin Boldak district of Kandahar. Mattoo, also not present at the ceremony, tweeted on Tuesday that she was stopped at immigration at Delhi airport despite holding a valid visa and ticket.
