Journalist Murat Mîrza Ibrahim died on Thursday night. He is another victim of Turkish state terrorism against critical media workers.

On Monday, a Turkish drone attacked a vehicle in the southern Kurdish Shengal region that was transporting journalists from the Yazidi-Kurdish television station Çira TV and Çira FM.

Six people, including three journalists, were injured. Mîrza Ibrahim succumbed to his serious injuries on Thursday night in the hospital in Mosul. The journalist was buried in Sikêniyê, accompanied by many people.

Journalists conducted interviews with survivors of the ISIS genocide

The drone attack on the vehicle carrying the journalists took place on Monday morning not far from the district center of Shengal. The team from the Yazidi radio and television station was returning from the village of Tal Qasab, south of the Shengal Mountains, when they were targeted by the drone on a connecting road.

The village is one of the places in the Yazidi core area where the Islamic State committed genocide and femicide in August 2014. The journalists had gone there to interview survivors for a program to mark the upcoming tenth anniversary of the ISIS massacres.
