Human Rights Watch: Gay Iraqis being tortured, killed

A new report from Human Rights Watch, “They Want Us Exterminated”: Murder, Torture, Sexual Orientation and Gender in Iraq, says that Iraqi militias are torturing and killing men suspected of being gay.
Scott Long, director of HRW’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Rights Programe, says the report “documents a campaign of violence against men in Iraq who are suspected of being gay or who simply don’t act masculine enough in the eyes of their killers.”
