Jump To Comment: 1Press blackout on Iraqi trade union leader's murder
- Union activists as much at risk in Iraq as in Colombia.

Iraqi trade union leader Hadi Salih, International Secretary of the Iraqi Federation of Trade Unions (IFTU), was tortured and killed in his home in Baghdad Tuesday night – but a Nexis search reveals not a word has yet appeared in the US Press.
"According to a report today from the IFTU, Salih was severely tortured before being put to death. Evidence of torture was visible on his head and body. His hands and legs had been tied. He was blindfolded, then strangled with electrical wire. Iraqi trade union sources believe that the atrocity was carried out by remnants of Saddam Hussein's secret police, the Mukharabat," said the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions in a statement.
On a visit to Europe last year, Salih "outlined the problems facing Iraqi trade unionists including lack of funds, the continued implementation of anti-union laws brought in by the Baathist dictatorship, and attacks from US forces on IFTU offices."
