A short report about the situation of the Marsh Arabs in the south of Iraq in the early 90s. A representative of Amnesty International talks about human rights in Iraq and the necessity to pressure the UN to adopt measures to protect the civilians. A leading Iraqi human rights activist, Dr. Al Hakim, visits the marshes in the extreme south of Iraq and finds evidence of an escalating military campaign against the Marsh Arabs. Contains footage of Iraqis shelling the Arabs by mortar, pictures of an execution of three Kurds by Iraqi soldiers, and black and white footage of Iraqi attacks on the Kurds, in 1988.
