This model and Instagram influencer has been shot dead in Iraq

On Wednesday, a human rights activist was shot dead as she got into her car in the southern Iraqi city of Basra, where violent anti-government protests have taken place in recent weeks. Suad al-ali, head of an organisation called al-Weed al-Alaiami For Human Rights, had supported the protests. An unidentified man opened fire at Suad al-Ali, killing her and reportedly wounding her husband. Tara had made her name on Instagram, where she had built a huge fan-base and personal brand, specialising in fashion and beauty.
