A TikTok star in Iraq was shot dead outside her home in Baghdad last week. Om Fahad - as she was known online - is the third social media personality to be murdered in Iraq in the past year.

The murders have coincided with a shift towards increasingly conservative attitudes and tightening laws in Iraq - most recently against prostitution and same-sex relations. 

Guest: Rasha Younes, Senior Researcher with the LGBT Rights Program at Human Rights Watch
