The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) issued a statement to "strongly condemn" the killing of journalist Ibrahim and to "urge the authorities of Turkey and Iraq to launch an immediate investigation to hold the perpetrators accountable."

Çira TV reporter Murad Mirza Ibrahim succumbed to his injuries on 11 July, following a drone strike by Turkey that hit a vehicle where a team of journalists were traveling on 8 July in Shengal.

Woman journalist Mydia Hussen from Çira TV and driver Khalaf Khdir were also wounded during the attack.

IFJ Deputy General Secretary Tim Dawson said: "We are deeply troubled by the killing of TV reporter Murad Mirza Ibrahim while on assignment in Shengal, northern Iraq, and we send our condolences to his family and friends. More protection is needed at the international level to ensure that journalists and media workers can carry out their duties without risking their lives. The IFJ calls on the authorities to investigate the killing and bring the perpetrators to justice."
