TikTok star was thrown from the 5th floor after rape

March 31,Kathmandu.Kurdistan is a city in Iraq. Although this city is known for its beautiful buildings and rich culture, the condition of women in this city is worse than worse. In the year 2023, 30 women were killed in honor killing in this city. In 2022, this figure was 23 and between 2017-19, 200 women were brutally murdered here in the name of honor.

Some were at fault for refusing forced marriages, while others wanted to study. Some dreamt of achieving something, while others were killed simply because they did not fit the mold of the fundamentalists.

We are telling you these figures because the story we are telling you today is also of an Iraqi influencer who was murdered just because she was famous. Her killers were not strangers but her own father, brother and relatives. She was shot dead while she was sleeping.

This is the story of TikTok star Fairuz Azad. Fairuz had faced death even before being killed by her family. A few months ago, she was raped and thrown from the 5th floor. Somehow she survived, but before she could forget this pain, she was murdered.

Fairuz Azad was born in 2003 in Irbil, Kurdistan region of Iraq. She also had an elder brother. Fairuz was young when her parents got divorced. The elder brother went with her father and Fairuz started living with her mother Naja Farhad. When she grew up, her mother married Shaheen Nahro of Irbil. She also had a son from this marriage.

After her initial education, Fairuz was very fond of taking pictures and making videos from an early age. She would often dress up and post her pictures on social media platforms. With time, her followers started increasing and she started getting a lot of recognition in the city as well.

As Fairuz was becoming popular, the tension in her house was increasing. Fairuz's videos went viral and reached her biological father and brother as well. The conservative father could not tolerate his daughter making videos without any veil. He contacted Fairuz's mother and clearly told her to ask her to delete her social media account.

However, Fairuz lived life on her own terms and did not let her father's displeasure come in the way of her work. In an Islamic country like Iraq, where veiling was strict and there were many restrictions on women, Fairuz's wearing modern clothes and making videos of herself singing and dancing became a topic of discussion.

However, despite these social barriers, Fairuz became famous in Iraq. She was counted among the most popular influencers in Iraq. Fairuz also started meeting fellow influencers in connection with content creation.

It was on 18 November 2023, Fairuz was invited to meet two fellow TikTok stars. Fairuz knew them well, so she went to meet them. They met in a housing apartment in Erbil. After some time, Fairuz started arguing with those two boys over the content. During the argument, both the boys assaulted her. Fairuz was trying to escape from there, but due to the force of both of them, she could not do so.

Their fight escalated to such an extent that both the boys threw Fairuz down from the balcony of the 5th floor of the housing apartment. Yet Fairuz survived. When she fell, some people passing by immediately took her to the hospital. She broke one leg, fractured her spine and waist and had many other injuries on her body.

A complaint was filed against both the accused influencers for attempted murder. In this case, the police recorded the statement of Fairuz in the hospital. Fairuz told the police that she was raped before being thrown from the 5th floor. According to Fairuz, during the argument, both the boys caught hold of her. One boy raped her. The other boy also wanted to rape her, but when she started screaming and waving her hands and legs in defense, both of them threw her down from the building in anger.

After Fairuz's statement, both the influencers were arrested. However, a few days later, Fairuz's biological father took 50 thousand dollars from him and got the case closed. As a result, both the accused were released.

Fairuz was trying to recover from this accident, but she was not getting the support of her family. Her father forced her to close her account. Only some time had passed when both the accused came out of jail and started creating content on Fairuz. They were continuously posting videos in which they were making many allegations against Fairuz. These videos also went viral and started reaching Fairuz's father.

As the video went viral, people in the vicinity started getting to know about the rape and accident that happened with Fairuz and the family started getting defamed.

It is on April 17th

In the morning, Fairuz was sleeping on her bed when 5 bullets were fired at her and she lost her breath. The people who fired the bullets were none other than her own father, brother and some close relatives.

Fairuz's mother told Bakhtiar Qadir, a reporter for broadcasting channel Rudaw, "I woke up hearing the gunshots. They killed him on the bed. I saw them all. I was trying to stop them. Fairuz's father had called her a day before and threatened to kill her because the boys who threw him off the building were creating and posting content on Fairuz."

'After receiving his call, we called the accused boys and requested them to delete all the videos. We told them that these videos will take their lives. We also talked to the boys' families about this, but they did not listen to us and today Fairuz was murdered.'

Meanwhile, Fairuz's stepfather Shaheen Kasab said, 'This happened between 8:05-8:10 in the morning. She was sleeping, her biological father, uncle, brother and some cousins ​​entered the house and started firing as soon as they came. We know the people who are involved in this murder.'

After the postmortem, Fairuz's body was handed over to his family. 7 people were arrested on charges of murder. Fairuz's mother believes that due to their power and money, those people will get away easily, just like the people who threw Fairuz from the 5th floor got away.

3 influencers were murdered in two years

Tiba-al-Ali- Fairuz's murder is not the only case of murder of an influencer or social media star in Iraq. Just a few months before Fairuz, in January 2023, YouTuber Tiba-al-Ali was killed in honor. Tiba, born in Iraq, was living in Istanbul. Her father was angry only because she used to make videos with her fiancé on the conditions of Istanbul. One day, her father called her home and killed her.

Om- Iraqi influencer Om Fahad was shot because of her modern lifestyle and video making. In April 2024, she was leaving her house and sitting in the car, when unknown bikers opened fire on her.

Um Fahad- Popular TikTok star Um Fahad was also shot dead just because she used to post videos on social media.

It is prohibited to even write the names of girls killed in honor killing on their graves

According to Al Jazeera's report, it is forbidden to even write the names of women killed in honor killing in Iraq. Only numbers are written on their graves instead of names. Family members are even prohibited from going to those graves, so many families reach the graves secretly in the dark of night. According to the report, 22 thousand girls have been killed in honor killing in Iraq since 1991. In the year 2023, 30 women were killed in Kurdistan region alone.
