Demand justice for those struggling in Iraq
Trapped in Iraq: A Desperate Plea for Help
Dear Tracy,
These words haunt me.
These words haunt me.
"We have nothing. We can't leave. ISIS will catch us and kill us if we do. For god's sake, please help us."
This was the desperate plea of a man trapped in northern Iraq.
I want to thank YOU for helping us respond to this plea. By responding to our action you have helped us press the Canadian government to provide safety and the most basic humanitarian needs for people who are fleeing for their lives.
Can I ask you to do one more thing? The Christian and Yezidi populations whose lives are in the balance need us - you and I - to be there, speaking for them.
Help us be their voice, telling their desperate story, saving their populations from this onslaught. Give now and support our ongoing missions into Iraq.
Amnesty lead investigator Donatella Rovera is leading multiple investigative missions to Iraq - often into conflict areas where journalists fear to go - to speak directly to the people suffering under ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria).
She is telling their stories to help secure aid for people like this man and his village.This was the desperate plea of a man trapped in northern Iraq.

Amnesty lead investigator Donatella Rovera is leading multiple investigative missions to Iraq - often into conflict areas where journalists fear to go - to speak directly to the people suffering under ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria). She is shedding light on ethnic cleansing by ISIS, revenge attacks on civilians by other Iraqi militias, and indiscriminate shelling of residential communities by the Iraqi military.
But Donatella and Amnesty's other crisis investigators need your help.
Donate now to help continue our field work in Iraq to report on human rights violations.
As the desperate words show, Amnesty's mission in Iraq is urgent. The growing unrest throughout Syria and Iraq has put Amnesty's global membership on high alert, and to the test.
Please help protect these vulnerable civilians.
Thank you for finding it in your heart .
Alex Neve
Secretary General, Amnesty International Canada
