The Genocide of Kurdish people in Iraq
Justice4Genocide is urging the British Government to recognise that the mass murder of Kurdish people in Iraq was genocide.
Hundreds of thousands of Kurdish men, women and children were murdered during a systematic attempt to exterminate the Kurdish population in Iraq from 1963 to the late 1980s.
Only after Saddam Hussein was captured in 2003, were the first of hundreds of mass graves discovered, and the true scale of the horror revealed. A decade later, forensic teams are still excavating the mass graves and identifying the bodies so they can at last be returned home to loved ones for burial.
About the Petition
This e-petition urges the UK Government to recognise the genocide of Kurdish people in Iraq from the 1960s to the late 1980s. It is sponsored by Nadhim Zahawi, the MP for Stratford-upon-Avon, and is supported by numerous MPs from all political parties, Peers, the community and many friends of Kurdistan. But we need your support.
An e-petition requires at least 100,000 signatures to trigger a debate in Parliament. It would be the first time in history that the Kurdish genocide was debated in the British Parliament, and could lead to the Government’s formal recognition of the Kurdish Genocide. The e-petition is open for a year from 7th March 2012.
Message from Nadhim Zahawi MP, sponsor of the petition
"Genocide is the worst crime that can be committed by humanity, and it befell Iraqi Kurds.
It is our duty to remember and honour the victims. The recognition of the genocide by the British Government is crucial to ensuring that it never happens again."
