be produced from Halabja in the Kurdish region of Iraq. Halabja was the
scene of chemical genocide on the 16th of March 1988, causing 5.000 dead
and 10.000 injured, and the rest of the 36.000 inhabitants fleeing from
their homes. This program will be produced by the recently created

victims will take place at 6 pm Baghdad time in the Ahmed Mukhtar Al Jaf
Hall The attendants will visit the cemetary of the martyrs and the 
memorial statue of Halabja. There will be speeches and a cultural
program.
