Zuhair Kinan Al-Nahass, Iraq

Islamic State group militants executed journalism student Zuhair Kinan Al-Nahass on Aug. 9, 2015, less than one week after he was abducted from his home in eastern Mosul, the Iraqi Journalist Freedoms Observatory reported. Al-Nahass, a second-year student at the University of Mosul, was reportedly killed after local media picked up his photograph of a burned-out Islamic State vehicle hit by an international coalition missile.
