Australian-born investigative journalist and documentary maker John Pilger, known for his support for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and his coverage of the aftermath of Pol Pot's regime in Cambodia and the Thalidomide scandal, has died in London, his family said Sunday.
Pilger, who had mostly lived in Britain since the early 1960s, had worked for Reuters, Britain's left-wing Daily Mirror and commercial channel ITV's former investigative programme World In Action.
