Cover the protests in Iraq and get attacked

Hazim Hamody is on the latest to be attacked.


Blogger and photographer Hazim Hamody was taken”kidnapped” in Karbala in a brazen attack on freedom of press by loyalist to the Iraqi government. This needs to stop and the kidnapping of activist is a clear indication of the failed state of government affairs in Iraq.




Eight days ago, Iraqi journalists Ahmed Abdul Samad and Safaa Ghali were assassinated for covering the protests.


CPJ and other journalists organizations have called this out.  Where's Human Rights Watch?  Where's Amnesty International?

Where's the concern of the world?
