 Kurdistan:
A Gangster State
Dr. Kamal Said Qadir, also known as Kamal Berzenji, was kidnapped by the agents of the Kurdish Democratic Party's intelligence unit, Parastin, on Oct. 26, 2005, and jailed. His "crime": writing "insulting" articles about Kurdish Democratic Party high mucky-muck and Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) President Massoud Barzani. In short, he committed lese-majeste, i.e., Qadir wounded the dignity of the king. After a "trial" that lasted one hour, he was sentenced to 30 years in prison.

Han kan bli
en ny Saddam

         Är Kurdistans president Masoud Barzani Mellanösterns  nya diktator? En ny Saddam Hussein? En dödslista med 16 namn på regimkritiska journalister cirkulerar just nu i hans Kurdistan. Jag är orolig för de journalister som finns på listan och jag är orolig för utvecklingen i regionen. Kurdiska intellektuella i väst måste äntligen sluta låtsas att de inte känner till förtrycket och våga säga sanningen. Det skriver i dag frilansjournalisten Nuri Kino.

Kurdish Journalist Nabaz Goran kidnapped, beaten then freed by uniformed men in Erbil 

PNA-Erbil,
Kurdistan region (Iraq),(Awena) -- Reporters Without Borders today joined the Kurdistan Journalists Union in condemning the abduction yesterday of Nabaz Goran in the Kurdistani city of Erbil and the beating he received for several hours before being set free. Goran contributes to several media in Iraq’s Kurdish region.
“These practices are unfortunately only too common in Iraq,” the press freedom organisation said. “The authorities have a duty to find a way to put a stop to this kind of criminal activity.
As a first step, this means conducting serious investigations in order to identify and punish those responsible.” A freelance contributor to the Media and Halati newspapers and the kurdistanpost.com website Photo: Hawlati Goran was kidnapped outside the Hotel Dam Dam in Erbil at about 10 p.m. yesterday.
His abductors, five men in military uniforms, drove him out of the city, beat him with clubs and hose-pipes and told him to “hold his tongue” before setting him free a few hours later. Goran is known for being outspoken in his criticism of the authorities. Two lawsuits were brought against, but were withdrawn after mediation by the Kurdistan Journalists Union.

Is Iraqi 
Kurdistan a     
Good Ally?

By Michael Rubin
AEI Middle Eastern Outlook
January 2008

On a strictly emotional level, U.S. support for Iraqi Kurdistan makes sense.1 In the wake of World War I, the Kurds missed their opportunity for statehood when other peoples gained their independence. Today, they remain the largest ethnic group without a country. They have suffered greatly at the hands of others. But while Iraqi Kurdistan has come far, the unreliability of its leadership makes any long-term U.S.-Kurdish alliance unwise. Rather than become a beacon for democracy, the current Iraqi Kurdish leadership appears intent on replicating more autocratic models. Rather than become a regional Nelson Mandela, Iraqi Kurdish president Masud Barzani now charts a course to become a new Yasser Arafat. Despite lofty rhetoric about its suitability as an ally, Iraqi Kurdistan's actions suggest that it is far from trustworthy.

The Other Iraq
By Joel Campagna
 
Iraqi Kurdish political leaders have cultivated an image of freedom and tolerance, but that increasingly clashes with reality. As the independent press has grown more assertive, attacks and arrests have increased.

SULAYMANIA, Iraq
A slender frame and quiet demeanor belie the fiery online presence of Nasseh Abdel Raheem Rashid, a 29-year-old biology student turned journalist. As a contributor to Kurdistanpost, a popular Kurdish-language news site that has incensed Iraqi Kurdish officials, Rashid has railed against the political order in Iraqi Kurdistan and the actions of unscrupulous political officials. In an article published last summer, he took aim at veteran Kurdish fighters, or peshmerga, who had once fought against Saddam Hussein, but who should now "be tried for looting the fortunes and properties of the people."
It was only a matter of time before Rashid's biting criticism would bring him unwelcome attention. As he strolled through the central market of his hometown of Halabja in eastern Iraqi Kurdistan last October, four armed men wearing military uniforms forced him into a waiting Nissan pickup, bound his hands and legs, and covered his head with a sack.
"I didn't know where I was going. They drove around for a few hours and then went over what seemed like an unpaved road," Rashid told the Committee to Protect Journalists during an interview in Sulaymania shortly after the incident. Rashid said he was pulled from the truck, punched and kicked, and threatened at gunpoint to stop working or be killed. The assailants sped off, leaving Rashid bruised and shaken.
