# IRAQI OBSERVATORY FOR HUMAN RIGHTS المرصد العراقي - **Website:** - **Primary alias:** `iohriq.org` - **Founded:** 2014 - **Employees:** 2+ - **Location:** Baghdad, Baghdad, Iraq - **Company kind:** NON PROFIT ## Description The Iraqi Observatory for Human Rights is an organization dedicated to protecting and promoting human rights in Iraq. They provide valuable reports and information on various human rights issues and strive to raise awareness about the challenges faced by Iraqi citizens. Recently, the Observatory highlighted the case of journalist Ali Abdul-Karim, who may face imprisonment for producing a TV report on medical errors in Iraq that resulted in the deaths of citizens. While the report did not name any individuals or medical institutions, a doctor filed a lawsuit against Abdul-Karim, accusing him of defamation and slander. The Observatory emphasizes that the Iraqi law does not hold individuals accountable for the actions or words of others. They argue that this lawsuit is an attempt to intimidate and discourage journalists from exposing people's suffering and the exploitation that occurs. In addition to advocating for journalists' rights, the Observatory works to uncover corruption cases and expose them to the public. They stress the importance of upholding freedom of the press, as guaranteed by Article 38 of the Iraqi constitution. Overall, the Iraqi Observatory for Human Rights plays a crucial role in protecting human rights in Iraq and ensuring that journalists can fulfill their vital role in society. ## Industries - 📊 Business and Consumer Services ## Links - [youtube](https://youtube.com/channel/UCBsksZgP9Z1NfLuMH4yMpiw) - [twitter](https://twitter.com/IOHRiraq) - [instagram](https://instagram.com/iohriraq) - [linkedin](https://linkedin.com/company/iraqi-observatory-for-human-rights-iohr) - [facebook](https://facebook.com/IOHRiraq) ## Logos & icons - logo _(primary)_ — PNG — [download](https://cdn.brandfetch.io/idIDq4rYez/w/2960/h/262/theme/dark/logo.png?c=1bxid64Mup7aczewSAYMX&t=1779370792518) - icon _(primary)_ — JPEG — [download](https://cdn.brandfetch.io/idIDq4rYez/w/400/h/400/theme/dark/icon.jpeg?c=1bxid64Mup7aczewSAYMX&t=1779370792632) ## Colors | Name | Hex | Theme | | --- | --- | --- | | Gray | #808080 | accent | | Black | #000000 | dark | | White | #ffffff | light | ## Fonts - alfont — asset _(custom)_ ## Imagery - banner _(primary)_ — JPEG — [download](https://cdn.brandfetch.io/idIDq4rYez/w/1500/h/500/idMm7x8O30.jpeg?c=1bxid64Mup7aczewSAYMX&t=1779370792820) --- _Source: _ _See [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) for a full list of agent-readable pages, and [/auth.md](/auth.md) for how agents authenticate._
