John Pilger, the renowned Australia-born investigative journalist who was a trenchant critic of the West’s “imperialist” foreign policy, has died at age 84.
His family released a short statement on his social media accounts on Sunday to confirm his passing in London, the British capital, a day earlier.
“His journalism and documentaries were celebrated around the world, but to his family he was simply the most amazing and loved Dad, Grandad and partner. Rest in peace,” the statement read.
He is survived by long-time partner, journalist Yvonne Roberts, and his two children, Sam and Zoe.
Thousands of people took to social media to mourn his death and remember his work.
“The world just lost one of its finest journalists and a man of utmost integrity,” one user wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“A great journalist, a fine man, and a tower of strength has fallen,” another wrote.
