CPT-IK, together with 17 other press freedom, human rights organizations, and media outlets, has jointly issued a statement calling on the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in Iraq to immediately and unconditionally release journalist Sherwan Sherwani.

Sherwani’s imprisonment is widely recognized as unjust and politically motivated, stemming directly from his journalistic work. He has been systematically targeted by authorities through the judiciary and legal systems in an apparent effort to silence dissent and suppress freedom of expression.
