Johann Hari

Johann Eduard Hari (born 21 January 1979) is a British writer and journalist who has written regular columns for The Independent and The Huffington Post and made contributions to several other publications. In 2011, he was suspended from The Independent following multiple charges of plagiarism and was separately accused of making malicious edits of several of his critics' Wikipedia pages under a pseudonym, an allegation he later admitted to. The exposed plagiarism led to him being forced to return his 2008 Orwell Prize and later was a contributing factor in his decision to leave The Independent. Hari is currently believed to be writing a book on the war on drugs.
