Gary Kent, Rudaw.net - MPs and campaigners stood for a minutes silence in the Commons last week at a meeting of the Kurdish Genocide Task Force. It was a mark of respect for the many victims of the genocide in Kurdistan. We heard very moving testimony from Kamaran Haider. He was 11 years old when the chemical bombs were dropped in Halabja.

Royal Free maternity staff visited Iraq to help launch the country's first midwifery school. The six-strong team went to Erbil, the capital of Kurdistan, where they discussed the possibilities of Hawler Medical University setting up the service.
