Shafaq The Guardian newspaper shed light on one of the most heinous crimes against humanity being committed in Iraq…

This revealed that 150 Iraqi children are sold on the black market annually with an estimated amount of money between 200 and 4000 BP. per child. The newspaper, which conducted extensive investigation on the subject, wrote that these children are subjected to various inhuman practices, including sexual abuse. The newspaper added that the failure of the authorities of Iraq in doing their duty to enforce the law on the street, and the state of lawlessness prevailing in the border between Iraq and neighboring countries, is the major cause of this humanitarian disaster, through which the children's trade grew up, not only in terms of sailing the little creatures in the local market, but also in transferring them abroad. It is clear that as a result of the popularity of this trade the incidences of children abduction increased and the kidnappers, sell them later in a small amount of money.
