No references found | The same goes for the actions of late Syrian President Hafez Assad, also against the Muslim Brotherhood, in what is known as the Hamah Massacre, when hundreds of Muslim Brotherhood members were arrested, killed and displaced for allegedly spreading chaos; or the actions of late Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, who ordered several massacres, foremost among them the Halabjah massacre, where chemical weapons were used, claiming the lives of nearly 10,000 Iraqis. Halabjah now has a Women's Center, offering counseling, legal advice, literacy training or just a sympathetic ear and a cup of tea. They ask where we were in 1988 when Saddam Hussein was bombing the people of Kurdistan, gassing the people in Halabjah and destroying 4,500 villages in the mountains of northern Iraq. |
