Iraqi Activist Receives Death Threat

Ms. Yanar Mohammed, founder of the Organization for Women's Freedom in Iraq and Editor in Chief of the newspaper Al-Mousawat (Equality), received an e-mail threatening death if the activist continues her struggle against the US-appointed Iraqi Governing Council's Resolution 137. Introduced by a group of reactionary clerics on the Governing Council, the Resolution imposes arbitrary interpretations of Islamic Law, curbing Iraqis' basic human rights, particularly those of women.
