Containing background information about human rights violations in Iraq gathered in mid-1992 from victims, eyewitnesses and family members currently living in exile in Syria and Jordan, this report serves as a supplement to our Human Rights in Iraq (1990) and Endless Torment: The 1991 Uprising in Iraq and its Aftermath (1992). It examines some of the methods used by the regime’s security apparatus to maintain control of Baghdad and southern Iraq after the post-war March 1991 uprisings were crushed, and includes detailed testimonies about other human rights abuses.
