In memoriam: Ali Shafeya Al-Moussawi
By Tim.It’s with great sadness that we heard from Brian Conley at Alive in Baghdad that Ali Shafeya Al-Moussawi, who was to be a new correspondent for the show, was killed in his home in Baghdad a week ago.
There are no words that can do justice to the simple fact that in that part of the world, people are dying as they try to exercise a right we take for granted — simply to report and comment on their own lives — and that another family has lost a son.
You can give money to help Ali’s surviving family at the AiB website, and you can also help support Alive in Baghdad’s work with a donation or subscription.
Please promulgate us on the interweb.
