Amnesty International, on Tuesday 18-2-2020, held the Iraqi authorities responsible for "killing more than 500 protesters and wounding thousands", according to the data of its 2019 Middle East Human Rights Report released on Tuesday, focusing on a fundamental aspect of Iraq.
The report held the government and the Iraqi security forces responsible for keeping “thousands of men and boys missing” after fleeing areas previously held by ISIS.
The organization said that an official government investigation into the investigation of violent incidents in the demonstrations confirmed that 149 protesters were killed - most of them by bullets in the head - because of "the use of excessive force", and that security leaders lost "control of their forces" from October 1-7, 2019.
The organization reported that "widespread news about torture and other ill-treatment of detainees held by the Iraqi Central Government forces and the Kurdistan region of Iraq."
In its annual report, the organization said that "security forces" used excessive force against protesters participating in demonstrations across the country starting in October.
The organization added that activists, lawyers representing protesters, paramedics treating the wounded, and journalists covering the protests were subjected to "arrest, enforced disappearance, torture and other forms of intimidation by the intelligence and security services", while "the authorities blocked access to the Internet, to prevent - apparently Without circulating photos of violations.
The organization, quoting official investigations, said that 149 protesters and 8 security forces were killed between 1-7 October 2019 as a result of "the use of excessive force, including firing live ammunition."
The organization confirmed that 70 percent of the dead had been shot in the head and chest.
The organization said that the investigation concluded that "senior leaders of the security forces did not order the use of excessive force, but they lost control of their forces."
The organization said that the Iraqi security forces used "types of gas bombs that had not been seen before" in a manner "aimed at killing".
The organization accused the security forces in Nasiriyah of killing at least 30 protesters on November 28 in Nasiriyah, after killing 12 protesters in Najaf, the night before.
The report said that the injured protesters were arrested in Baghdad and Karbala, causing many of those injured to avoid seeking medical assistance.
