Protect Iraqi Human Rights Defenders Now!

Protect Iraqi Human Rights Defenders Now! (PIHN) is a civil society campaign working to protect human rights defenders, journalists, and civic activists in Iraq. Through documentation, public reporting, solidarity statements, and advocacy, the campaign responds to threats, repression, and restrictions on freedom of expression and civic action. Its work is currently reflected and expanded through the 7oqoq Observatory, a platform dedicated to monitoring violations and supporting defenders at risk.
