The Financial Times has won two Amnesty International Media Awards for its visual investigations into Russia’s abduction of Ukrainian children and a rise in settler violence in the West Bank. The awards celebrate excellence in human rights journalism. 

Senior visual investigations reporter Alison Killing, chief Ukraine correspondent Christopher Miller, graphics journalists Peter Andringa and Sam Learner, digital designer Chris Campbell and visual investigations editor Sam Joiner won in the Written News category for their investigation into missing Ukrainian children.
