Killing of Tiba al-Ali
On 31 January 2023, Tiba al-Ali, an Iraqi Youtube influencer, was killed in Iraq in an apparent honour killing by her father.[1][2]
Tiba al-Ali was born in Iraq in 2000 and moved to Turkey in 2017.[1][2] She and her fiancé frequently made videos on YouTube about life in Istanbul.[3] She visited her family in the central Iraqi city of Al Diwaniyah, Al-Qādisiyyah Governorate, in 2023, where on 31 January she was strangled at night while sleeping.[3] Her father, who objected to her living in Turkey, confessed to police that he was responsible for the murder.[1][2] There are no laws in Iraq that prohibit domestic violence.[1] Many media outlets have described it as a so-called honour killing.[4][5]
In February, protests against the killing took place in Iraq. Activists gathered to demand a law against domestic violence and to bring attention to the issue of rising violence against women in the country.[3][6]
In April 2023, Tiba's father, Tayyip Ali, was given a six-month jail sentence. General Saad Mann of the Iraqi Interior Ministry explained to the BBC that ""An accident happened to Tiba al-Ali. In the perspective of law, it is a criminal accident, and in other perspectives, it is an accident of honour killings."[7]
