Summary:

Since the start of conflict in Iraq in 2003, the country's minorities have suffered disproportionate levels of targeted violence because of their religions and ethnicities. Inside Iraq they continue to suffer this violence. Outside, they form a large proportion of those displaced, either by fleeing to neighbouring countries or seeking asylum farther afield. But as this report clearly shows, having passed Iraq's borders is no guarantee of safety. This report is based on missions conducted by the staff of Minority Rights Group International to Syria, Jordan and Sweden during 2008, and on subsequent research.--From publisher description.
