• Gay City NewsIn a 67-page report, Human Rights Watch
(HRW) detailed an intensive “sexual cleansing” campaign of
murder, torture, kidnapping, beatings, and blackmail carried out
against those perceived to be gay in Iraq.
The report, entitled
“They Want Us Exterminated: Murder, Torture, Sexual Orientation and
Gender in Iraq,” is based on interviews recently conducted by an HRW
team in Iraq with more than 50 men who identified as gay, as well as
with doctors, journalists, United Nations aid officials, and others.
