"The murders of journalists in Iraq are not letting up and generalised impunity is fuelling the cycle of violence," RSF secretary-general Jean-Francoi Julliard said in a statement.According to Iraq's Journalistic Freedoms Observatory,more than 250 journalists and media workers have been killed in the country since the 2003 US-led invasion.
