A Kurdish court has overturned the death sentence of Binyamin Hassin, a Kurdish Jew who has been imprisoned since 2015. The decision follows a traditional reconciliation agreement between Hassin's family and the family of a taxi driver killed in an altercation, which included a financial settlement raised by the Jewish community. Hassin's case drew international attention and support from religious leaders, legal experts, and activists over the past decade. He had returned to Iraqi Kurdistan in 2014 and became involved in a fatal incident during a period of regional instability.
