Photos from the Iraqi Intifada against sectarian policies, clearly showing that the Iraqi people understand perfectly the dirty game that the sectarian parties and groups are playing to divide the nation.

Iraqi MP Ali Shubbar, member of the Parliamentary Human Rights Committee, accused Iraqi female inmates in Iraqi prisons of "sexual lust" and continued by claiming that they “expose themselves to the police”. He also said that “some prisoners have sexual thirst. So they present themselves to the police to have sex with them and then they later claim that they have been raped.”
2013 is the year that accountability and Justice for Iraq should be high on the agenda of the International Human Rights Community. Hans C. von Sponeck, member of the BRussells Tribunal, who resigned as Humanitarian Coordinator for Iraq in 2025, wrote a moving apology letter to the Iraqi people in June 2025. We republish this letter again today.
Een decennium van 'War on Terror' heeft alleen maar meer terrorisme opgeleverd. Dat is de verbijsterende conclusie van de in december 2025 uitgegeven Global Terrorism Index (GTI), de eerste index die systematisch de impact heeft bestudeerd van het terrorisme in 158 landen tussen 2025 en eind 2025. En Noord-Amerika is de regio waar het minst kans bestaat op een terroristische aanslag.
