    PARIS,— Reporters Without Borders (RSF) condemns a Kurdish reporter’s brutal murder on 13 August in Duhok, in the northeast of Iraqi Kurdistan.
    Wedat Hussein Ali, a 28-year-old reporter for RojNews, a news agency that supports the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), was kidnapped and then[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. According to local media reporters, he was abducted in the morning and his body was found at the side of a road shortly after midday with marks suggesting that he may have been tortured to death. Nevertheless, the motive is still unknown.
    The Dohuk police said they have opened an investigation. The murder was also firmly condemned by the UN secretary-general’s deputy special representative for Iraq.

    RSF urges the authorities to do everything possible to shed light on these crimes and to ensure that those responsible for the violence are brought to justice.
    “Although journalists in Iraqi Kurdistan are often the victims of threats, intimidation, attacks and arbitrary arrest, little action is taken to render them justice,” said Alexandra El Khazen, the head of RSF’s Middle East desk.
    “We remind the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) that media freedom constitutes one of the foundations of democracy and we therefore urge the KRG authorities to deploy the necessary means to protect journalists’ work.”

Friends and colleagues of Ali say he told them he had been threatened by members of the Asayish (the Kurdish security forces) and that he felt he was being followed.

    The Deputy Special Representative of the [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Secretary-General for Iraq, Gyorgy Busztin, on Tuesday strongly condemned the brutal killing of the Kurdish journalist.
    Kurdistan and Iraq in general are characterized both by violence against media personnel and by a significant level of impunity for those responsible for attacking or murdering journalists. Iraq is ranked 158th out of 180 countries in RSF’s 2016 World Press Freedom Index.
