4 Miljoen brieven voor de inwoners van Mosul
Op 22 december zijn vanuit een vliegtuig 4 miljoen brieven gedropt boven het bezette Mosul, geschreven door gewone Irakezen, om steun te betuigen aan hun landgenoten. Een unieke actie die voortkwam uit IWPRs #LettersToMosul.
Four Million Love Letters to Mosul
Unprecedented initiative sends messages of support from Iraqi citizens to the beleaguered residents of the country’s second-largest city.
IWPR has helped airdrop four million letters of solidarity from ordinary Iraqis to the residents of Islamic State (IS)-held Mosul as part of a groundbreaking initiative supporting local voices and freedom of expression.
Mosul has been held by IS for more than two years. Since early spring 2016, the residents of Iraq’s second largest city have also been living in an information blackout, risking a death sentence if found watching TV, listening to the radio or using the internet.
