Iraq after colleagues

YOu wErE a journalist in
the autonomous Kurdish
re g i o n o f n o r t h e r n I ra q .
why did you leave?
I wrote about corruption in
the government—especially
the stealing of oil.
A number of other
journalists were killed
or disappeared because
they were writing about
corruption and lack of
freedom of expression.
A close colleague was
murdered in Baghdad.
I also campaigned over
the treatment of women and
honour killings and against
the deportation of refugees
who had fled Iran, Syria
and Turkey.
In March 2011 they tried
to send 40 refugees back
to Iran, where they were in
danger of being killed.
I had done this for
12 years and was one of the
leaders. But during our last
campaign ten people were
killed and 500 injured so I
had to flee.
