Other than Fahmida, the winning team includes Anthony Del Col, Josh Adams and Walt Hickey of Insider in New York, according to The Pulitzer Prizes website.

They have been awarded for “using graphic reportage and the comics medium to tell a powerful yet intimate story of the Chinese oppression of the Uyghurs, making the issue accessible to a wider public.”
