Twenty-eight journalists were killed in Iraq in 2015, the Press Freedom Advocacy Association in Iraq said in a recent report.

The association said 17 of the victims were killed by Daesh. Another 25 journalists were injured while covering military operations. The fate of four journalists remains unknown.

The report documented 180 cases of violations against journalists in Iraq, including death threats, arrest, detention, beating and prevention from coverage.

Journalism in Iraq continues to be a risky career as 14 journalists were killed in 2014 by Daesh and other unidentified groups, according to the Iraqi Journalists Union.
