Its hard to filter out the noise and keep track of whats really important the bottom line tackles the big issues this is shaping the United States its people its economy and the way it deals with the rest of the well the bottom line only on aljazeera. I am fairly ok well clinton strange today when looking at activists in iraq being in danger is simply protesting some headlines queer eye which is why were looking at todays story how lucky on my laptop there is some high profile assassinations of activists to seeing a summer in according to the workers against terrorism was killed for political reasons. Prominent female activists killed by unknown gunmen ambassador we got to were going to hear more about in just a moment even a high profile terrorism expert has shimmy was shot dead in baghdad now according to government figures for the last few months. More than 560. 00 protesters including security personnel have been killed that is our story today i know if youre on the cheap youre going to want to weigh in and you too can be part of the string. Such a panel today looking forward to introducing them and then they will introduce themselves to you hello doorstep tell our audience here remind them because i know they would have seen you before and aljazeera going it out are i am doris is a pari and im a correspondent for Al Jazeera English good to have you dont to alley welcome to the stream introduce yourself tell everybody you want. To get a new call actually. In light of the mission in iraq welcome delta alley and hanss good to have you introduce yourself to our International Audience i know im down on stories out. Of social. I was this is really good to have you on the show because i particularly want to understand and know a little bit more about some of the profound assassinations of activists can you tell us what is happening on a broader aspect of why activists are in danger just by protesting they could possibly be assassinated. Yeah you mentioned this just for testing so its basically its for. The people and also as a human its international its protected by international law. Human its. Not just about protesting its also all tweeting so i imagine if you tweet anything your opinion you will be killed or eat and iced so the reason behind i think because these voices because these voices scare the. Militias host walking trying to create a state of fear about the community so they can continue taking off or control on i got home and all of the coming elections and next june 2021. Too soon to be about me i should be chanted a bit earlier. When she was killed in the end because it was the good of talking bad as you know in east in a week when you need to know that. Yes its people are normally there suddenly you will know how shes brave not just because shes human also shes a woman voices and this is the most important well known voices and the ching other perils of the woman to pull protest peacefully. With this. Line peacefully always the protest and iraq goes peacefully thats why i. Care about. This secret weapon that protest using peace. Was a brave girl a brave woman who won. She always try not to. Leave home the government even if they are talking head and this is not the 1st time gets on social media they offer. Since 2018 i saw many tweets that shes meeting meeting of. U. S. Embassy and bus was an example as part of not a secret meeting its the meeting even is not taken in by even the Iraqi Parliament and we saw many statements one else. Putting them there a member attacking me how i. Felt so imagine how the hate speech. And talking to these kind of people you spoke people are not just on the internet ok. Does not the question occurred to me instantly as i was looking at all of these assassinations was who is killing these activists whos responsible can you tell us about the militias. Well there are many different groups its impossible to pinpoint exactly who would have carried out any of these number of assassinations theres also the issue of guns for hire thats one of the things the government is really trying to confront and when he shot me was killed outside of his home they arrested 2 people who shot him but they are not per se affiliated with any specific group so this is one of the challenges that faces this government is trying to find out who is hiring these. Its essentially to carry out these attacks but there are a number of groups. Some of them backed by iran and going back to who she was. She tweeted a picture of herself with a member of from the u. S. Embassy and there was a number of twitter accounts or no websites affiliated with irans revolutionary guards that attacked her for doing this they basically said this person is a traitor and this was one of the warning signs. Put out there for her and others really so there is this cloud of suspicion about who these militias are quite theyre backed by but its very very difficult to say right now but theyre going to show that the mission that a so we dont really i want to use your expertise here so adam is full of them. And as a would you ask a specific specific question it is a hard question to answer but to the best of your ability have a listen to adam and then how would you respond to being lets play that. Certain pro i ran elements within the progovernment militias known as the Popular Mobilization units or hazardous xabi are certainly suspected of carrying out some of the killings but who exactly committed the killings is not no coverage of iraq sometimes portrays the house that as a unified singular in reality not all he said factions have the same agenda the government of Prime Minister mustafa. Has said it wants to stop the violence against the protesters how do you think the governments to deal with these elements of the hessian in its attempts to stop the violence in basra now its not only you looking thoughtful the government going to deal with the militias. Thank you very much and. We lost again and weve weve lost your video but we can still he continued if you are at war. How is the government going to handle these missions. We think him to be professional and godless so also on attacking the activists d and you know that we are talking about protesters who are. Trying to hide corruption trying to fly. The political groups to be away from what what what they are doing now cruelty in controlling the authority and using it for their own interests of course it will be face it by some reaction from them and i think as a nation attacking the activists is not new in iraq it is followed by any. Protests but that is more obvious more clear now because the protest was more massive since october so of course the direction will be more of the problem in iraq and that since 2003 older we are living in a Democratic State as a constitution and according to the International Convention that we have signed it or iraq a state within stated by the problem that is still in much of we do not have. To deal with sides honest to constitutional guarantee or all the points of data to freedom of speech we did not actually any law that can protect protest of that and protect the exist and then we still living in some legislation a tenant back to saddam hussein. All these invite actually giving some space for the us or groups to act and to attack and assassinate without accountability when you have. A term on statement out of it ses and then i mean an echo of that which sais that who. Is secured from accountability will behave in a bad way saw without. The count would stay in this situation we will have always the activist of protests in the trap actually so the democracy to be honest with you in iraq is just like a truck for activists a truck for the love i think is right and. To the result at least to the real accountability i think the question are we dealing with a state or not if we are dealing with our state of course we need a state institution to investigate on that according to the ny take a pause for a moment because i want to show some of those protests is that you are saying im not to protect it so this takes us to focus the 16th embassador on protesters and once youve had to talk to any and then you see what happened to the testers it makes perfect sense and have a look at how i was and these are from the people of gov assad are dominant like they were often very interested as in the beginning are you sure all injured by civilians there is no one in military force they are also going around and they were shooting at us from the top of the houses and these belong to the my god how. You can see the protests in the hands of the police why will people still going out why are they not playoffs threat their risks the killings. Yeah because there is no option we dont have an option 70 years after 2008 plus terror 2 years old by sundown regime and by. And supported by iran so i thing we dont have. Like a cell or voice peacefully this is the only option we have to change and i see. The groups who are stealing killing it is not only out of the state or even even the state involved in killing we saw that. Humanity by minister farrakhan to me also is both in killing many of the moment and we saw all these bullets so its not its not new we so home and the people. Doing the. Square and we so we. Very soon very close to that 1st anniversary and try something. Thats just you know also study for a donut of a fusion so i think we dont have that option this is the only way we thats why its sometimes painful to seem to have only this option to reach peace to reach safety you know you know its not a poor country you its a very rich country that culture and money and all you have never seen you know even with the skills we out of more than 60 percent of the community they are young people and they are dont jokes that is not basically no clean water and bustling city thats just. Protestants maybe in that war its not just iraq feeding bowl war with oil imagine they dont have to eat want to. Look at the city for 24 hours its very chain. To speak of authentic water in iraq and 2020 so thats why people are still going out charting peacefully to raise their voice and tell the government how much is a good question for you this question comes from each of you and its sometimes like i think everybody thinks the United Nations can do everything for every problem but she says. Let me just see here just getting incoming and why isnt the United Nations acting on those steps because they really. I mean there are such nations families in china actually pointing in the right direction to where the help may well come from. Yeah i think we. Have a whole United Nation its just issuing you know consarn statements and they dont have the military to go also tell about what we are looking from you on to put more pressure and be clear and the statements that was behind killing all these. Behind all these killings its very clear for us its a state and also its that belief. Feeling Peaceful Protesters that. We so many we saw United States. During Security Council sessions style its better than before statement so its. I call it shy statements we need strong we need more pressure to do that and we need noxious you know we get action to stop these killings these people need to protection we are have a weak government and the same time we have a strong militia so what we are looking for we are looking for we are looking for a targeted and continuous off killing young people without any showtimes without any safety without any plan. To to protect we just go out on the media and still speak out trying just to make. Trying to always call for accountability and bring these fellers to the justice and Prime Minister most of the meat. How do you how to tell time from him because he said the Prime Minister risk yesterday. Can i clean the Prime Minister because the Prime Minister is looked attending to he was done just souls souls who with images find americans and bring them to justice and climb down on these assassinations this is will the Prime Minister of iraq on august 22nd its means. The series. Will recover again god willing this is a message to all criminals and killers is a new governments that is working to establish the prerequisites of security it aims to establish security and prevent crying id like to tell everyone who carries a weapon contrary to the government laws that they wont escape punishments and the killers will be brought to justice very soon id like to tell the criminals who assassinated who shall hashmi tassimo sama and the young female doctor that your blood will be a title for justice. Go ahead. To be more precise i think its more important to to to to talk about the put it to come. Not only some of the groups whats happening in iraq that we have some political powers who are above the state above the law so this is the problem and this and all these have some roots are tending back to 2003 to the audition of political system the political system started in iraq with shutting everything shooting shooting on with the groups shooting money shooting cabinet saw. Because of all the power in the hands of political pros and they are representing the main deep state so i think we cannot do everything one of the Prime Minister and most of the me or him in the next one or. That can do anything without solving this problem which is the political groups away from the state i mean creation of the institution creation of the. Security units all of that everything started since 2003 and till now theres been some. Small job in iraq cannot be done without. Coming from political offices so this is the problem so of course the need to get to those 2 groups not to the states. Danielle and he can thank you in the conversation the real since the problem is the state room with each other and some that is used in place all right let me put in as well as our answer jennings in iraq which term and she was the most important thing that we discussed in these conversations were as and whats missing. Right no the i think i think the Iraqi Government should take action against them and moans. This is one of the most all the top. Hes. Right no design owns the. Do so what if you learned from spending time on the ground. What if you learn to not miss prentis not. I havent actually spent time in bastrop myself but ive been covering the story for a while and what i can tell you is it hasnt changed the time that ive cut i was here in december last year and so and there was a rumor that started and there was a possibility that the governor of. Gandhi was to be nominated to be the next Prime Minister that ever happened because there was too much opposition but there is still opposition to him in his own province and. He said one of the main issues is corruption and this is at the core of the problem within the country its not just about this Prime Minister or this one Political Party it is systematic corruption that needs to be addressed and until that is addressed these armed groups and various factions and various. Parties will be fighting with each other for control there is a there is a root problem at the core of the issues here and its not just going to be resolved with one Prime Minister or one minute party i think as a country as a whole needs to come together and really look to the next generation of iraqis they are the ones are going to be running this country in the years ahead they are the ones are going to have to bring in the changes that they want to see and i think what they are fighting for now will lay the foundation hopefully for that in the future but the government has to listen to their demands they cannot be just the smiths as a young unemployed thugs that have Nothing Better to do they are really frustrated they dont have basic needs infrastructure in bastrop so im going to pick up here because this is. Challenging conversation so again but she made the point. When i was asian able to do to support to this. Yeah thats some portland because we saw. Another challenge as we start this phase about cutting the internet and protests its happened before like children final exams stealing elections blocking the social media. Sites cation so to prevent people to access still a social media and to raise their voice and also to share. Their violation against. Its. Defenders of whats happened to them killing by using 2. Different types of links so we involve to create a different way to take these felicis out from the dark side iraq to the outside and try to tie slate everything sharing to the people to the war that also provide some tools that can help people to raise the voice during that time to shut down the block in the social media sites this is what we focus on and also we focus on give training for these people how to document the violations so on what was happening and also to protect their privacy on internet or why or why did you to war. I want to show you a tweet was. Too since 2000 and count. And he mentions the election thats going to take place next year and the lections a new sense but to correct the outcome an impasse you mentioned the elections earlier what difference actions make the kind of situation the protest is activists and the safety and cease. Yeah i think the next election its very important for iraqi people always encourage people to go and participate because after whats happening you know this is there is many process happens since 2012 so i guess im going to start more of my licky and after a way d that i have. Aftermath now against most of the icing next election its very important for iraqi people because it will change. The chaos thats why we see the place and the laws will all start getting. People and especially the new generation the Civil Society voices because they dont exactly the militias i mean backed militias they know they are using they know they are losing the community and they know that their community now they have a clear image what crimes that happens but by militias thats why theyre trying to create this state all sierra. That contre all by forcing. 1 by killing people and setting people so they dont go is this.
