 To Ms Bayan Sami Abdul Rahman
 KRG representative in the UK

 Dear Ms Rahman,
 
 Abduction and killing of Mr Sardasht Osman
 
 We have read the KRG's statements on the abduction 
							and killing of the
 journalist Mr Sardasht Osman on 4-6 May. We put it 
							to you that further
 measures are necessary to reassure people in the 
							Kurdistan Region, their
 friends and families abroad, and everyone worldwide 
							who is concerned for
 the freedom of the press.
 
 Sardasht Osman's brother, Beshdar Osman, has said 
							that Sardasht Osman
 received a threatening phone call in January, 
							telling him to leave
 Erbil, and understood that the reason for the 
							threats was his
 journalistic work. The investigation into Mr Osman's 
							death should look
 into those threats, and whether they came from those 
							circles connected
 with the KRG or with parties represented in the KRG 
							which were
 criticised by Mr Osman in his work as a journalist.
 
 Mr Sardasht Osman was abducted on Tuesday morning, 4 
							May 2010, after
 being dropped off by his brother Sardar Osman in 
							front of the Fine Arts
 Institute at the University of Salahaddin in Erbil. 
							There is a
 round-the-clock guard of at least half a dozen 
							soldiers there. The
 investigation should look into the response of those 
							guards.
 
 Mr Sardasht Osman was found dead on 6 May in Mosul. 
							His abductors must
 have travelled through security checkpoints to reach 
							Mosul from Erbil.
 The investigation should look into the response of 
							the guards at those
 security checkpoints.
 
 The operation in which Mr Sardasht Osman was 
							abducted and killed was
 "beyond the capability of one person or one small 
							group,” as a statement
 issued on Thursday 6 May and signed by 75 Kurdish 
							journalists, editors
 and intellectuals pointed out. The investigation 
							should consider what
 groups may have had sufficient resources for such an 
							operation, and how
 they were able to carry it out.
 
 Mr Sardasht Osman's family have asked to be fully 
							involved in the
 investigation of the abduction and murder, so that 
							they can be sure that
 such questions will be looked into. I hope you will 
							raise these concerns
 with the KRG.
 
 Yours sincerely
