On Thursday, journalist Şêrwan Şêrwani was sentenced to 4 years in prison in a hearing that lasted 3 hours.

Speaking after Sherwan Sherwani was sentenced to 4 years in prison, journalist Umêd Beroşki said: "It is Mesrur Barzani's decision to sentence Şêrwan Şêrwani to 4 years in prison. The country cannot be ruled by a police and military mentality. Opposition in Kurdistan is being silenced. Those who silence the opposition voices of Behdinan today will silence all of us tomorrow. For this reason, we all need to take to the streets to oppose this unlawful decision.”

Journalist Umêd Beroski was allegedly abducted by KDP forces on Thursday night, just hours after criticizing Mesrur Barzani.

Ayhan Seid, one of the lawyers of the Behdinan prisoners, said that journalist Beroşki was detained in Duhok.
