"They Want to Exterminate us"

Harrowing reports about the torture and execution of LGBT people in Iraq are contained in a report by Human Rights Watch. The 67 page report, entitled They Want to Exterminate Us: Murder, Torture, Sexual Orientation and Gender in Iraq, shows through first hand accounts that LGBT people and "the third sex" are threatened, robbed, tortured and murdered, both systematically and casually, in the newly 'liberated' 'democratic' republic.
