Amna Suraka Prison, Iraq

in #vehiclephotography7 years ago (edited)

For my 200th post, an entry into @photocontests' #vehiclephotography contest.

This was taken at the Amna Suraka Prison in Sulaymaniyah, Iraqi Kurdistan. A very, very chilling place where Saddam Hussein committed unthinkable atrocities against the Kurdish people, it has now been turned into a museum memorialising the 182,000 innocent Kurds murdered during the Anfal Campaign of 1987. Here we can see a couple of old military lorries parked in the prison's yard.
