Misan Harriman Steps Down as Southbank Centre Chair Amid Media Controversy
By
News Desk
Summary
Misan Harriman, chair of London's Southbank Centre, announced his resignation via social media following a month of intense criticism from British media outlets The Telegraph and Daily Mail, which labeled him antisemitic. Over 100,000 people signed an open letter defending Harriman against what they called a "smear" campaign. A Southbank Centre spokesperson confirmed the exit had been planned since January, suggesting the timing was coincidental rather than a direct result of the controversy.
