Five female anchors resign from Al Jazeera over dress pressures

June 3, 2010
Jumana Nammour

Gulf News reports that Al Jazeera anchorwomen Jumana Nammour, Lina Zahr Al Deen, Jullinar Mousa, Nawfar Afli and Luna Al Shibl recently filed their complaint and resignation to protest against "repeated offensive public remarks" by an official from Al Jazeera (supposedly Ayman Jaballah, the deputy editor in chief) about "clothes and decency." Apparently the anchorwomen were under pressure to dress more modestly or covered.

Three other female presenters, Khadija Bin Qenna, Laila Al Shaikhli and Eman Bannoura did not hand in their resignations.
