Iraq’s Shiite militias have abducted and killed “scores” of Sunni civilians in retaliation for the onslaught by the Islamic State group, Amnesty International said Tuesday, claiming that the attacks are supported by the Shiite-led government in Baghdad. The Shiite militiamen number in the tens of thousands and wear military uniforms but operate outside any legal framework and without any official oversight, Amnesty said. Moreover, they are not prosecuted for the crimes, the London-based watchdog warned in its new report, entitled “Absolute Impunity: Militia Rule in Iraq.”
