DUBAI: British musician Roger Waters, the co-founder of rock band Pink Floyd, this week paid tribute to late Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh during his New York concert. 

The journalist’s name appeared in large letters on the concert’s screens with words saying that her crime was “being Palestinian” and her punishment was “death.”

Abu Akleh, a Palestinian-American, was killed on May 11 during an Israeli raid in the occupied West Bank.
