CIGE in Duhok Calls for Financial Allocations to Complete the Mass Grave File
The member of the Investigation and Forensic Evidence Collection Team in Duhok, Colonel Shaker Mahmoud Merani, confirmed the continued efforts to complete the file of mass graves in Sinjar and the Nineveh Plain. A grave was recently opened in Mashirfa, Mosul, where 15 remains of Yazidi victims were discovered. Since 2017, more than 500 remains have been extracted from mass graves, but most of these remain unidentified due to a lack of sufficient DNA samples to match with the victims' relatives. Approximately 30 mass graves are awaiting excavation, and Iraqi parliamentary officials are calling for the necessary funding to complete this work. Additionally, the remains from a grave near the Sharf al-Din shrine will be sent to the Forensic Medicine Department in Baghdad to determine the identities of the victims.
