Anas Aremeyaw Anas, better known as Anas, is a Ghanaian journalist born in the late 1970s.[1] He utilizes his anonymity as a tool in his investigative journalism work. Anas is a politically non-aligned multimedia journalist who specializes in print media and documentaries. He focuses on issues of human rights and anti-corruption in Ghana and sub-Saharan Africa. In December 2015 Foreign Policy magazine named Anas one of 2015's leading global thinkers.[2] In 2016 Anas had a "Best Journalist" award named after him by the Press Foundation in Ghana.[3]

In 2018, Anas brought a defamation lawsuit against Member of Parliament Kennedy Agyapong. In dismissing the suit, the judge termed Anas a blackmailer.[4] The Supreme Court dissmissed an appeal by a vote of 3-2 in 2024.[5]
