'Free media is the mirror in which the society reflects. If we allow this mirror to be broken, we will all look ugly- the demonstration's banner.'
At this moment hundreds of writers and journalists are demonstrating in front of the UNAMI office in Arbil asking the UN to put pressure on Kurdistan Regional Government to find the murderers of the young journalist Soran Mama Hama.
In the memorandum they have submitted to UNAMI they state: 'We the independent media channels and newspapers in Kurdistan region would like to make you aware that after the murder of Soran Mama Hama in front of his own home in Kirkuk, the journalists of Kurdistan are facing a great threat'.
The memorandum says that the freedom of media and press in Kurdistan is undergoing a sensitive phase that entails the intervention of international organisations to prevent the repetition of the tragedy of Soran's murder and ensuring justice for him.
They ask UNAMI to closely follow up the process of the investigation until the criminals are brought to justice.
