The Halabja Massacre is one of the darkest pages of modern history.<\/p>\n
On March 16, 1988, thousands of civilians were targeted by chemical weapons in Halabja, Iraq.<\/p>\n
Women, children and the elderly lost their lives in a matter of minutes on the streets, in their homes and in shelters.<\/p>\n
This attack took place during Operation Anfal, which was carried out by then Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein against the Kurdish people.<\/p>\n
Not only people died in Halabja; humanity, justice and conscience were also severely wounded.<\/p>\n
The toxic gas clouds revealed not only the silence of a city, but the silence of the whole world.<\/p>\n
The deaths of thousands of innocent people have clearly demonstrated the devastation of war and authoritarian rule on peoples.<\/p>\n
Today Halabja stands as a lesson for humanity that must not be forgotten: Crimes against civilians must be remembered whenever and wherever they occur, and must be fought to prevent them from happening again.<\/p>\n
Because Halabja is not just a city, it is an indelible pain in the memory of humanity.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
