IRAQ: HIV-positive couple murdered

First came the phone call - a man who accused Farid Abbas of carrying "an indecent disease" and telling him that he'd be killed "for the safety of the country". Two days later, 42-year-old Abbas, who had been HIV-positive for nine years, was gunned down on the street.

"Witnesses said that while the man was shooting him from the window of a car, he was shouting loudly, 'Death to all people who carry diseases acquired from indecent methods against Islamic beliefs'," said Abbas's sister, who asked that her name not be used, for security reasons.

That was not the end of the tragedy. On 30 July, Abbas's wife Hania Omar, 38, who also was HIV-positive, was leaving home to pick up their 11-year-old son from school when another drive-by assailant shot her dead.

The man dropped a letter which said, "This is the price to pay for a Muslim woman who is willing to sleep with a dirty man whose blood is infected with the devil's impurity." The police shrugged off the deaths as "sectarian violence".
