April 27 - Activist Sherif Mansour on the Fate of Iraqi Journalists Abducted by ISIS

For the past year, Iraqi investigative reporter Oday Hatem has been working for The Committee to Protect Journalists trying to determine what has happened to the two-dozen journalists captured by the Islamic State when its forces overran the cities of Mosul and Tikrit.  Hatem found three had been killed, three were still missing and 18 were still captives.  But could the story be told?  Would publicity endanger their lives or those of their families?
