Marsh Arabs and Human Rights - Iraq

Jan 1992A leading Iraqi human rights activist Dr Al Hakim visits the Marshes in the extreme south of Iraq and finds evidence of an escalating military campaign against the Marsh Arabs. The jet fighter attacks stopped after the no-fly zone was declared but the Iraqis still shell the Arabs by mortar. Like the Iranians the marsh people are Shia Muslims whereas the Iraqis are Sunnis. Most families are missing relatives and people have been tortured and every day Iraq is closer to destroying their fragile existence. The Iraqis are also draining the Marsh Arabs' homeland by diverting the rivers which feed it. Contains shocking pictures of an execution of three Kurds by Iraqi soldiers, and black and white footage of Iraqi attacks on another of its minority groups, the Kurds, in 1988.
