Iraq: Government Blocking Residents Fleeing Fighting

Iraq: Government Blocking Residents Fleeing Fighting | Human Rights Watch:

"Eight residents of Fallujah or Ramadi, Anbar’s two main cities, told Human Rights Watch that, between January and April 2014, they saw government forces shoot residents who were trying to leave or return to Anbar, killing some of them. It is unclear whether armed opposition forces were in those areas at the time of these attacks but witnesses gave consistent accounts of what they said was, at the very least, indiscriminate government fire."
