International rights organisation Human Rights Watch (HRW) said on Monday that the recent attacks claimed by Islamic State (IS) on crowded markets and hospitals in Iraq’s capital of Baghdad are crimes against humanity. In its statement, HRW said that Iraqi authorities should compensate the victims of terrorist attacks and “military errors”. Recent attacks in Iraq had targeted Shi’a-majority districts in Baghdad. A series of terrorist attacks hit Iraq over the past few weeks, and most of them were claimed by IS. The terrorist attacks left dozens killed and several injured.
