Iraqi activist: PM paints protesters as terrorists
None
A leading Iraqi human rights organizer who confronted the prime minister on national TV says he is trying to paint legitimate protesters as terrorists.
Hana Adwar's comments were broadcast live Sunday during a human rights conference in Baghdad attended by Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and UN officials. Earlier, al-Maliki spoke to the conference and suggested that some human rights activists were actually terrorists, in an apparent attempt to delegitimize the country's nascent activist movement.
