Evidence uncovered on social media indicates that members of Iranian-trained Shiite militias may be entering Europe as refugees, a London-based Iraqi émigré group says. The Foreign Relations Bureau – Iraq (FRBI) identified images of 48 men on Facebook and Twitter who it says fought with Iranian-trained Shiite militias in Iraq and now are in Europe.
FRBI came into existence in 2014 and promotes women's rights, equality, Iraqi independence from foreign control, and a non-sectarian approach to governance.
FRBI's list shows pictures of militiamen in uniform and carrying weapons. Alongside those images are pictures showing the same people wearing Western street clothes and standing in places such as Germany, Sweden, Belgium, Greece and Finland. This same list also includes 16 people belonging to Iraq's security services who similarly made their way to Europe and who FBRI accuses of crimes against the Iraqi people.
These militias engaged in serious human-rights abuses in places like Tikrit after they ousted the Islamic State, and Iraqi security forces similarly engaged in unlawful killings, according to Human Rights Watch (HRW). FRBI refers to HRW's research about human-rights abuses in Iraq as a reason why these men should not have been allowed into the E.U.
