Letter: Dubrovnik's destruction continues
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Martin Bell is a fine journalist and his heartfelt reports have been instrumental in bringing the plight of the citizens of Sarajevo to the attention of television viewers in this country.
I find it all the more distasteful, therefore, to listen to BBC news coverage of the terrible conditions in hospitals in that beleaguered city and the continuing suffering of the people who have no choice but to stay there, immediately followed by reports that Mr Bell, who was in Sarajevo and under fire out of choice, had been flown out of the city on a specially provided aircraft and is now resting in a private hospital at home.
I am sure Mr Bell himself would not approve of equal weight being given to the story of his own slight injuries as to the terrible casualties of the innocent victims of war.
Yours sincerely,
