Chris Wattie, is a Canadian photojournalist and journalist who writes predominantly for Canada's National Post newspaper.
Career
From August to mid-September 2003, Wattie was embedded with the Canadian military contingent in Kabul, Afghanistan.[1]
On May 19, 2006, the National Post published an article by Wattie ("Iran eyes badges for Jews: Law would require non-Muslim insignia") about a law requiring non-Muslim religious minorities in Iran would would be required to wear "special insignia": yellow for Jews, red for Christians and blue for Zoroastrian. These claims spread quickly, particularly over the Internet, but were challenged when they could not be independently confirmed. By the end of the day, Wattie replaced his original article with another ("Experts say reports of badges for Jews in Iran is untrue").[2]
Awards
