I would like to inform you of the disappearance / possible kidnapping of four of the leaders and activists of the current protests in Suleimanya, Iraqi Kurdistan.
These four people have been missing since around 7pm local time (4pm GMT).
They were on their way home after leaving the demonstrations.
It is worth noting that the four missing activists are amongst the prominent organizers of the current protests in & around Suleimanya.

Names:
1- Shakhawan Nasih; kadir of the Worker- Communist Party of Kurdistan & one of the protests organizers.
2- Nawzad Baban: a member of the politburo of the Worker- Communist Party of Kurdistan & one of the most prominent leaders of the current popular protests in Suleimanya.
