Press Freedom
A series of recent attacks killed at least 20 Iraqis, including two journalists who were gunned down in northern
Iraq. Fadia Mohammed al-Taie, a reporter for the independent weekly newspaper al-Massar, and her driver were killed in
Mosul. Luma al-Karkhi, who worked for the independent weekly al-Dustor, was killed in Baqouba as she was going to work. In an interview with Newsweek, May Chidiac, a 2006 IWMF Courage in Journalism Award recipient, discussed her assassination attempt and her determination to fight for press freedom in Lebanon.
