#العراق: بمناسبة مرور ثلاثة أشهر على إقرار البرنامج الحكومي الجديد، على الحكومة الوفاء بالتزاماتها في مجال حقوق الإنسان عبر إنهاء الإفلات النُظمي من العقاب على انتهاكات حقوق الإنسان، وصون حقوق النساء والفتيات، وضمان الحريات الأساسية amn.st/6185B1w8ah

بعد أكثر من 10 سنوات، لا يزال ما لا يقل عن 643 رجلًا وفتى في عداد المفقودين، إثر اختفائهم قسرًا على أيدي وحدات الحشد الشعبي خلال العمليات العسكرية التي جرت في يونيو/حزيران 2016 لاستعادة الفلوجة في العراق من قبضة تنظيم الدولة الإسلامية المسلح.
على الرغم من تشكيل السلطات للجان للتحقيق في حالات الاختفاء، لم تُقدّم أي نتائج إلى العلن. لا يزال مصيرهم مجهولًا، ولا تزال أسرهم وأحباؤهم في حالة من عدم اليقين. من حقهم معرفة الحقيقة؛ ويحتاجون إلى إجابات.
يجب على السلطات العراقية أن تنشئ على وجه السرعة آليات فعلية تفي بالمعايير الدولية للتحقيق في مزاعم الاختفاء، وأن تكشف عن مصير المفقودين ومكان وجودهم، وأن تضمن المساءلة عن الانتهاكات التي عانوا منها هم وأسرهم. كما يجب عليها العمل على تجريم الاختفاء القسري في القانون العراقي، واعتماد استراتيجية وطنية شاملة لمعالجة هذه القضية، ومنح الضحايا وأسرهم جبر ضرر ودعمًا شاملَيْن وهادفَيْن.

Iraq’s government must deliver on its human rights commitments to end systemic impunity for human rights violations, uphold women’s and girls’ rights, and guarantee fundamental freedoms. amn.st/6011B1w6Zh

More than 10 years on, at least 643 men and boys forcibly disappeared by Popular Mobilization Units during military operations in Iraq to retake Fallujah from the Islamic State armed group in June 2016, remain missing.
Despite the authorities setting up committees to investigate the disappearances, no findings have been made public. Their fate remains unknown and their families and loved ones remain in a limbo. They have the right to know the truth; they need answers.
Iraqi authorities must urgently establish genuine mechanisms, which meet international standards, to investigate allegations of disappearances, reveal the fate and whereabouts of those missing and ensure accountability for the violations they and their families have been suffering. They must also act to criminalize enforced disappearance in Iraqi law, adopt a comprehensive national strategy to address the issue and provide victims and their families with inclusive and meaningful reparations and support.
Amnesty Iraq retweeted
Ahead of the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearance on 30 August, Amnesty International and 13 associations of families of the disappeared and missing persons, alongside human rights organizations from across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), warned that authorities continue to use enforced disappearance as a tool of repression while intensifying crackdowns on families seeking truth, justice and reparations.
From Algeria to Yemen, Iraq, Gaza, Syria, Lebanon and beyond, families of the disappeared continue to confront impunity and demand truth, justice and reparations. In Algeria, the cost for doing so has been harassment and detention.
On the International Day for the Victims of Enforced Disappearance, we stand with families of the missing and forcibly disappeared across the region and call for an end to enforced disappearance, impunity and reprisals against those seeking the truth.

🚨مرّت أربعة أشهر على مقتل الناشطة الحقوقية ينار محمد في 2 مارس/آذار 2026. ورغم إعلان السلطات العراقية عن فتح تحقيق في أعقاب اغتيالها، لم تُنشر أي معلومات حول سير التحقيق أو نتائجه.
يأتي هذا الصمت في ظل حملة قمع مستمرة ضد المجتمع المدني والإعلام، وضد حرية التعبير عمومًا، مما يُرسّخ مناخًا من الخوف والترهيب للناشطين والصحفيين والمدافعين عن حقوق الإنسان.
يجب على السلطات العراقية الكشف علنًا عن معلومات حول سير التحقيقات ونتائجها. كما يجب عليها تقديم المسؤولين إلى ساحة العدالة في محاكمات عادلة بدون إصدار أحكام بالإعدام. ويجب حماية المدافعين عن حقوق الإنسان والناشطين والصحفيين الذين يواصلون رفع أصواتهم.

🚨 Four months have passed since the killing of women’s rights activist Yanar Mohammed on 2 March 2026. While Iraqi authorities announced an investigation following her assassination, no information has been made public on their progress or results.
This silence comes amid a sustained crackdown on civil society and media, and in general on freedom of expression, reinforcing a climate of fear and intimidation for activists, journalists and human rights defenders.
Iraqi authorities must publicly disclose information on the status of the investigations and their findings. The authorities must bring those responsible to justice in fair trials that preclude the death penalty. Human rights defenders, activists and journalists who continue to speak out must be protected.

Israel, the US and the Islamic Republic of Iran must immediately cease or refrain from unlawful attacks on energy infrastructure in light of the risks of devastating civilian harm and environmental impact posed by such attacks.
In recent days Israeli-US air strikes have targeted multiple fuel storage and distribution facilities in Iran, and the Islamic Republic of Iran’s military has carried out attacks affecting fuel depots and oil and gas infrastructure in multiple Gulf states.
The potential for vast, predictable, and devastating civilian harm arising from strikes targeting energy infrastructure, including uncontrolled deadly fires, major disruptions to essential services, environmental damage, and long-term health risks means there is a substantial risk such attacks would violate international humanitarian law and in some cases could amount to war crimes

At its review, #Iraq claims that there are no journalists arrested without a fair judicial process.
Human rights organisations have documented tens of cases of enforced disappearance of journalists and activists involved in the 2019 #Tishreen protests.

#العراق: القتل الوحشي لينار محمد، التي كرّست حياتها للدفاع عن حقوق المرأة، هو اعتداء مدبّر لإسكات المدافعين عن حقوق الإنسان، وخصوصًا المدافعين عن حقوق المرأة. يجب على السلطات العراقية أن توقف هذا النمط من الهجمات محددة الأهداف، وأن تتعامل بجدية مع حملات التشهير المستمرة المعدّة لتشويه سمعة النشطاء وتعريضهم للخطر amn.st/6015hAEod

Yanar Mohammed, rest in power 🖤
The feminist movement has lost one of its fiercest, most courageous voices. Yanar Mohammed was not only a symbol of resistance, she built the infrastructure of protection for Iraqi women when no one else did. Her killing is an immeasurable loss for all of us who believe in equality, dignity, and the right of women to live free from violence.
Her assassination fits a chilling pattern of targeted killings and attempted killings of human rights defenders that @Amnesty has documented during and in the aftermath of the Tishreen protests since 2019.
We demand justice.
Iraqi authorities must launch a full, independent, and transparent investigation and ensure that those responsible, both perpetrators and those who ordered her killing, are held to account. Impunity for violence against women human rights defenders is unacceptable and fuels further attacks.
Yanar’s legacy will not be erased.
Her courage lives on in every woman she protected, every shelter she built, every life she saved. Her voice will continue to guide our movement, and we will not rest until justice is delivered.

Heart-breaking: Yanar Mohammed, the fearless Iraqi feminist and founder of the Organisation of Women’s Freedom in Iraq (OWFI), was murdered in Iraq yesterday.
Yanar was a dear colleage and friend to so many of us in the women’s rights and feminist community, one of our icons. She spent her life standing up for women’s rights in the most dangerous environment. She spoke out against so-called honor killings,against senseless violence and killings by armed groups, against violence and aggression by States, all States.
She faced constant threats but she never stopped. And today we cry and mourn her energy, her commitment, her profound humanity, her amazing courage.
As we prepare to meet for the Commission on the Status of Women, at a time when so many States are intent on turning the clock on years of (imperfect) progresses on the protection of women’s rights, and non-discrimination; when too many powerful actors are attacking human rights, gender rights and feminism, Yanar will be guiding us.
We will stand tall, we will be relentless in our pursuit of justice and equality, we will be strong and united in resisting the backsliding and increasing violence. We will be courageous.
Rest in Power dear Yanar.

Amid rapid expansion of regional hostilities across the Middle East following the ongoing joint United States-Israel attacks on Iran and the subsequent wave of Iranian retaliatory attacks across the region Amnesty International is issuing an urgent call on all parties to protect civilians, adhere to international humanitarian law, in particular by ending unlawful attacks, such as deliberate, indiscriminate or disproportionate attacks on civilians and civilians infrastructures.

Six years after #Iraq's Tishreen protests, authorities remain busy hounding and intimidating activists and their families, while those behind the horrific killings, assassinations, and enforced disappearances remain at large.

“Sherwan Sherwani is already serving an unjust prison term after being previously convicted on spurious charges. He should have long since been released. Instead, he is being handed a new years-long prison sentence weeks before his scheduled release." Razaw Salihy, Amnesty International’s Iraq Researcher.

#Kurdistan Region of #Iraq: new lenghty sentence for journalist #SherwanSherwani weeks before his planned release from #Erbil prison is evidence of perverse practice used to punish critics.

The #Kurdistan Regional authorities must uphold their national and international obligations to protect human rights and put an end to this revolving door practice that sees journalsits rearrested and others kept behind bars. #pressfreedom
