Exclusive: 100 public figures sign letter criticising Radio 4 Woman’s Hour segment with Zara Mohammed
More than 100 public figures, including the Tory peer Sayeeda Warsi, the Labour MPs Diane Abbott and Naz Shah, and the comedian Deborah Frances-White have signed an open letter to the BBC criticising Radio 4 Woman’s Hour “strikingly hostile” interview with Zara Mohammed, the first woman to lead the Muslim Council of Britain.
The letter, organised by the writers Yassmin Abdel-Magied and Mariam Khan called on the BBC to diversify its editorial and production team and better engage with Britain’s Muslims.
