Missing in Iraq

A woman cries in frustration as she searches for her missing relatives among the bones in shrouds that fill the gymnasium of the local sports center in Al-Musayab, Iraq. The center is now the home of an Iraqi human rights organization which is overseeing the exhumations of bodies from local mass graves. People come from all over to check the clothing and ID cards of the bodies, looking for relatives.

Iraqis search a mass grave site for remains using a large digger in a frantic search to find long-missing relatives near Hillah, Iraq. The chaotic digging caused such destruction of evidence — of both crimes against humanity and of identity — that Human Rights Watch began a campaign to embarass the U.S. military into closing the site.

Posters ask for help finding lost relatives inside the Committee of Freed Prisoners in Baghdad, Iraq.
