inquire from Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki on October 28-29 why the Yezidis are being denied their human rights

Created by M.P. on October 20, 2013

Members of the Yezidi Human Rights Organization were recently told by the kurdish officer of the Kurdistan Democratic Party headquarter in Sinjar city that "they must stop their human rights activities in the name of 'Yezidi Rights' or they would face severe consequences." They were also told they were not allowed to use the name "Yezidi." From now on they are to be known only as Kurds. Thus, the Moslem Kurds are using serious threats to shut down one of the principle organizations that are campaigning for Yezidi Human Rights.
