Dear Ms Rahman,
Abduction and killing of Mr Sardasht Osman
We have read the KRG's statements on the abduction
and killing of the
journalist Mr Sardasht Osman on 4-6 May. We put it
to you that further
measures are necessary to reassure people in the
Kurdistan Region, their
friends and families abroad, and everyone worldwide
who is concerned for
the freedom of the press.
Sardasht Osman's brother, Beshdar Osman, has said
that Sardasht Osman
received a threatening phone call in January,
telling him to leave
Erbil, and understood that the reason for the
threats was his
journalistic work. The investigation into Mr Osman's
death should look
into those threats, and whether they came from those
circles connected
with the KRG or with parties represented in the KRG
which were
criticised by Mr Osman in his work as a journalist.
Mr Sardasht Osman was abducted on Tuesday morning, 4
May 2010, after
being dropped off by his brother Sardar Osman in
front of the Fine Arts
Institute at the University of Salahaddin in Erbil.
There is a
round-the-clock guard of at least half a dozen
soldiers there. The
investigation should look into the response of those
guards.
Mr Sardasht Osman was found dead on 6 May in Mosul.
His abductors must
have travelled through security checkpoints to reach
Mosul from Erbil.
The investigation should look into the response of
the guards at those
security checkpoints.
The operation in which Mr Sardasht Osman was
abducted and killed was
"beyond the capability of one person or one small
group,” as a statement
issued on Thursday 6 May and signed by 75 Kurdish
journalists, editors
and intellectuals pointed out. The investigation
should consider what
groups may have had sufficient resources for such an
operation, and how
they were able to carry it out.
Mr Sardasht Osman's family have asked to be fully
involved in the
investigation of the abduction and murder, so that
they can be sure that
such questions will be looked into. I hope you will
raise these concerns
with the KRG.
Yours sincerely
Martin Thomas
