- As ISIS was pushed out of areas of Iraq, FRONTLINE correspondent Ramita Navai made a dangerous and revealing journey to investigate allegations of abuse of Sunni Muslim civilians by powerful Shia militias. (Aired 2017)

The Shia militias were a crucial part of Iraq’s fight against ISIS and were supposed to answer to the country’s prime minister. But “Iraq Uncovered” investigated how some of the groups were accused of kidnapping, torturing and even killing Sunni civilian men and boys, whom the militias often saw as ISIS suspects.
Navai traveled to areas of the country where few journalists went, talking to Sunnis who said their relatives were abducted and abused at the hands of the militias. She found a makeshift militia prison crammed with men the militia admitted had been held there for months without any charges. Navai found that people in refugee camps were “as scared of the militias as they are of ISIS,” and she spoke to leading Sunni and Shia politicians as well as militia members themselves.

Why doesn't PBS publish recent data about Afghanistan, how Sunni Taliban kill and mistreat Shias in Afghanistan (cp. my channel), and in Bahrain and Saudi-Arabia, U.S. allies, where Shias are oppressed. And in Palestine, how Sunnis get killed by U.S. weapons? Because it's all U.S. propaganda.
thanks you Frontline for amazing work and information n journalism and always getting the truth out there
Great reporting and documentary
I think this piece is missing the absolute brutality of ISIS (Sunni) that was perpetrated on the Shia. Shia mosques were attacked at prayer, Shia markets bombed, Shia murdered left and right. This became a blood feud. Lots of innocent people were swept up on both sides. This is why strong rule of law and professional law enforcement is vital to any society.
Yes but, two evils do not make a good.
Isis does not represent Islam nor Shia or Sunni.
Absolutely. Shia were seriously maimed the insurgency against Shia-US regime after fall of Sunni Saddam regime. It was quite heinous period for them, they had to rise up against!
@@henryjackson370ISIS was Islamic fundamentalist insurgent organization that held extremist version of Sunni Islam.
Isis killed more sunnis than anyone else.
As a Shia myself, we do not believe in hurting any innocent people. It doesn't matter what race or religion you identify with.
That you don't believe in all that doesn't mean that many others that will likely claim to be as Shia as you clearly don't, so it looks like it's either not a "I'm Shia ERGO I do/don't believe in X", or one side (either yours, not believing X, or those others', believing X) doesn't take the Shia instructions to their true meaning.
How do I know which side is the true Shia, yours or the others'?
I 'thought' that was the core belief of ALL Muslims?
@@Eli_Muwahhid what the hell does that mean? "Sunnis don't lie"? Like NEVER? ALL of them? Hundreds of millions of people you say don't ever lie about anything? I'm calling big time BS on that one, my friend.
Dude this is a propoganda piece by a liberal irani woman who is most likely sponsored by western media group.
They simply cant accept the fact that iranian backed groups working with iraqi army defeated isis (a organization usa created and funded)
Also keep in mind that why a documentry from 2017 is post now when tensions are quite high in palestine and shia and sunni countries are both campaigning together for palestinians
@@Eli_Muwahhid you saying something is haram like that magically makes it impossible not to be that way is hilarious. Also quite obviously wrong. Or has no sunni ever done something technically haram? Mind you, you're going to step on a very paradoxical forest if you're loyal enough to your brain and answer truthfully.
I am a Sunni Iraqi from the city of Anbar and I was one of the detainees in the city in the period of ISIS control there, and then we were liberated by the Iraqi army and the popular crowd or as they are called Shiite militias. ISIS elements were trying to get out with families and many of them managed to escape because of the lack of families, but there are other elements who were arrested after confession and the security forces investigated them with them and I assure you that everyone who was arrested is an ISIS operative or a supporter of them.

City of Anbar?
There's no city called Anbar.
There is however a province named Anbar, which got it's name from a town that was deserted centuries ago.
I was born in Romadi, in the Anbar province.

More and more brave journalist like is the need of time. Thankyou for the couragious reporting of the voiceless people.
I am from Diyala Al muqdadiya but now we live in Germany.
Firstly i thank you for this doku and may god portect you where ever you are, you shows the people in out side of Iraq how is bad the situation there.
Because the majority could not illustrate savagery there and thay thought we exaggerate when we talk about the brutality of the regime in Diyala/Al Muqdadya.
i was kidnaped by militias when i was at beginning of 15th year.
They kidnaped my 2 uncels after that and killed them even though we payed 250 000 $ and 2 kilo gold.
When i was 14 i saw with my eyes how militias of badr killed two persons near the police, and the police did not do any thing.
They let peopel free from the prison and killed them in the out side of the prison because they could not killed them in the prison so that no one say that they ( The regime ) kill prisoners in prison and act against human rights.
May God have mercy on my uncles where ever they are.

I wish we could live in a peaceful community where religion doesn't exist. like post revolution france, mao ruled china or car-tell run south/central america :(
Literally happened because America waged war on Islamic lands the fault is to the western world and the Shias who aren’t muslim to begin with
This is the wonder of Islam. They are brutal to themselves and to each other
This has nothing to do with religion, this is a terrorist group created by UN and supported with Fully american guns killing sunnies in name of sunnah, and another terrorist group from Iran which kills sunnah.
According to the Encyclopedia of Wars, out of all 1,763 known/recorded historical conflicts, 121, or 6.87%, had religion as their primary cause.
Great documentary that reveals a lot about the unseen truth

another great agenda from PBS news .....where were they before ...why rit now when the whole world is seeing the atrocities of Israel against palestinians....
bothe sunni nd shia are in peace with each other
@@mohammadyasir7182 noo dont lie
Shia is a « sect » that came later and is closer ideologically to Christianity than Islam (worship of saints, belief in the trinity). Officially 90% of Muslims are Sunnis.
Shias were never really relevant in Islamic history, sadly they’re known for this bloodshed against Sunnis, and disrespecting the prophet Muhammad wives and friends
If you ever wondered why people in Iran are not religious at all it’s because they follow this cult. Shiites means in arabic « those who deviated (from the group) »
😂😂😂
I’m originally from Almuqdadia , everything in this documentary 100% True and there’s a lot of worse things but she can’t cover it .thank you very for your efforts to prove some of the truth .
Religions are basically just large scale violent scams.
As a Sunni Muslim from Malaysia, I will try my hardest to prevent Shia from spreading in Malaysia. We'll have laws to prevent the spreading of other sects other than Sunni, in shaa Allah.
May Allah avoid us from Shia
they shouldn't even be considered as a sect but a separate religion
sunni = 1S1S. You guys have slaughtered us Shia Muslims for centuries
Exactly @@meezolaraveldev4611
So much hatred among yourselves !!! No wonder Islam is called the inventor of Hatred.
Are you with ISIS
Let's be reasonable. These militias are focused on saving civilians from ISIS. That's heroic. In the meantime they try to pick out the ISIS fighters from these big groups. They don't murder indiscriminately. They try to find the fighters and bring them to court. That's extremely careful and civil, considering they have seen gruesome actions from ISIS. Maybe there have been made mistakes, but that's not their goal. They are extremely civil considering the harm that ISIS did.
Very wrong and misleading statement. They do murder/torture/imprison/rape sunnis indiscriminately, just for being sunnies. That includes sunnnis men, women and children. This is a FACT since 2003.
my friend i live in Baghdad, on October 2019 there was a peaceful protest in many cities in Iraq against corruption in the government and those same militias have killed almost 500 and injured more than 21000 of the protesters.

A. Whonis funding PBS ?
B. Why now this video is coming out?
C. Shia and sunni in iran and iraq specifically, were living together for thousands, how come we see this ?
D. Why PBS doesnt delve into all those who have been captive by shia milities ? Can they confirm they all were normal civilians ?
E. Least but not last, instead of seeding bad deed into two brother society, why dont you make a report on who created this chaos and who are your donners ?

100%. but don't worry, there will be a flood of "EARNEST VOICE" in this comment section to make sure all the herd gets to the correct conclusions.
@henryjackson370 I was thinking the same way you're thinking. Channels like these are very suspicious. Why didn't they investigate the crimes of ISIS which are far worse vis-a-vis the Shia community by bombing multiple times their mosques, markets etc? It is really a lie when she said that the Shia militias were committing these atrocities when the west was busy fighting ISIS. In actual fact we have the Shia militias to thank for defeating ISIS who looked set to expand their mindless terror to other parts of the world including to Europe. Don't forget that they started an armed rebellion in Marawi in the Philippines which lasted for about 3 weeks about 10 years ago. All the while, the US army showed their meaningless "fights" against ISIS by showing some meaningless bombings of ISIS "hideous" etc that would not secure a victory against ISIS when actually it was these Shia militias that were fighting ISIS on the ground and sacrificing thousands of fighters in the process (and the Hezbollah was taking on ISIS and defeated them in Syria at the same time).
ISIS also had always worked for the US, UK and Israeli interest, and hence the rebellion against President Bashar Al Asad (an Israeli foe), many bombings in Iran (a US and Israeli foe) and the recent massacre they perpetrated at Crocus hall in Russia (a stretegic foe of the US) while at the same time never firing a single bullet at the US, UK or Israel.
Lastly, that look of concern (for the supposedly oppressed Sunnis) on the face of the presenter of the documentary looks so fake and actually there are no enmity between Sunnis and Shias except when there's a portion of them who got influenced by the propaganda of imperial powers such as the US to divide them, make them fight each other and try to rule over them to steal more of their nations' wealth.

singapore ? it's not even a muslim country 😂😂😂 and no there is no abuse to shias saudi arabia and other muslim countries
@@AhmedAAbas-xv3um you’re straight up lying. Shias in Saudi reported that they are getting treated like second class citizens.
what is your prove ?@@forgetm8961
@@AhmedAAbas-xv3um Lies! Shias in Sunni majority countries have always been oppressed. In Pakistan, Shias have been victims of target killings and terrorist attacks since the beginning. In Afghanistan and Nigeria both Shias have been killed in large numbers. It has got better in Afghanistan now but before it used to be horrible
Can't help but notice how big and Beautiful this journalist eyes are!!
I didn't see that. I don't understand how her eyes are beautiful (no offense). I might be gay to not understand that.

Lmao 🤣

Shia and Sunni always got along in Iraq till America came along
So sad,all like that happened in the world...of....human...
In the name of religion? Oh my God have mercy.
So sad
Beautiful journalist, good work.
Nice timing when sunni and shia are closer since decades against Isreal and US we get this. Probably accident for channel that never made any materials about the suffering of Palestinians under the occupation
nicely pointed out...Their wicked face has been unveiled now ....
Why this lady isnot in Gaza.....
This is war of popaganda....
Totally agree , how much they paid for this woman to spread their propaganda
Its a iranian woman as well she want to destroy the picture of iraq
The suffering of Palestinians, the barbarism of ISIS , All of that can not justify the inhuman satanic crimes of Chi3A Militias ..

This is a tragedy.
These events are years old... why release this now??
The repression of Palestine by Israel. Similar
When was it filmed
2017
Nice democracy america has given iraq
And still blaming others for your own muslim way of life.
If you don't see people from other religions you fight people who are your own religion.
Ingrained nature of muslims.
Wake up.... And start being busy and doing something that is beautiful and beneficial for yourself instead of following the TERRORISTS teachings of a gaddamn shit prophet religion.
Superb presentation
My heart broken....couldn't control my tears
....I am from india
Where this world wants to go?
To Armageddon of course. Why ?
Horrible 😢
When was this film made
2017
The shia defeated isis
It wasn't just them who fought. Without global coalition airforce i don't think they would have been so successful
Its normal in this kind of society’s what is happening. When the Sunni’s have the power they was doing the same to the Shia’s. Now they get it back what they did……
Iraq is the only country in the region where they werent terrorized. All of the other Muslim Arab countries, offer them no rights as a people. Often terrorized by groups. Saddam was a Sunni. Shias hate Sunnis the same way Hitler hated Jews, George Wallace hated blacks.
then why one side called terrorist but another peacekeepers while both act same way. double standards
@@4techdell389 In all situations, and countries citizenship is always the primary factor. That when you are a citizen of a country, your rights should be protected and you should have representation in Govt. In Iraq, Sunnis were the majority and for a long time were represented by Sadam Hussein, himself. Now they are an oppressed people in this region, because leadership was given to a "minority", the Shia, in the region. A belief that really has no love for Sunni. That is also revealed in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Kuwait, Yemen etc. The U.S. ( under George W.) is partially to blame for that. Because many do not realize that what the U.S. did in Iraq, was not actually based or built on the terrorist threat in Iraq, (that was established in our 9/11 Commission)but instead just a desire to invade, occupy, give a way to America having a say in that region and giving more influence and power to Saudi Arabia and possibly Iran over Iraq and its production of oil, its trade, and its people through the Shia people in Iraq. You are looking at a slow genocide, just as what was done with Assyria, or Jews in the Holocaust. And all because a "minority group" gained leadership. Thats why its not called "terrorism", because its tied to Govt. but we all know that it is "terrorism" nonetheless. Just like George Wallace as a Governor of Jim Crow Alabama, its as terrorist as it gets.
Sunnis are not oppressed they make half of the parliament and Sunni provinces get more money than Shia provinces
@@mustafarahi8670 what do you mean under oppression, how you clarify this word? reporter inform about 6 demolished sunni mosques and repressions depend on religious belief. nowadays already all know that iraqi govt is fill with corruption cant control this "peacekeeper sectarian army"
so what tales you talk about, we don't discuss secular side - its about religious hatred, don't you know about?
As brutal as saddam was to his opponents, Iraq was a much safer place under his rule than without.
This story is a direct result of his removal
I personally not support these people who did this brutality.
But I also want to say that Saddam did genocide of shia muslims , he killed shia scholars , he destroyed our holy places .
No court can decide his punishment
And what do you know?
Indeed
This woman will be remembered theoughout history as great tool of information for the world
People especially in the USA make snape judgements about the media, but they are way too cowardly to see the truth like what is covered in news watches like this one. Thank you for your love for truth. It's not a task for anyone faint at heart. May creator keep you safe.
I am a fighter in the Iraqi army, and I tell you, unfortunately, this report is a lie. The names of the militias mentioned in the report are Iraqi civilians who took up arms and fought ISIS alongside their brothers in the Iraqi army and made great sacrifices in order to defend Iraq and its land. Did you know that what they call militias include thousands of fighters from various components, not just Shiites, and Christians, Yazidis, and Sunnis took up arms with the Shiites and fought ISIS and its organizations, and the detainees in Saqlawiya and the rest of the regions were working with ISIS. It is unfortunate that the Western media has become accustomed to distorting the image of my country, Iraq. Please tell the truth..
@@sajjad__alking6884So you think the evidence given by these families is what, a lie? The mother who filmed her 5 sons dead w/ bullets in their heads? She found their bodies. It’s not a bad thing to say there’s both brave men & monsters in these militias. This is the problem with being investigator, judge and executioner. No one should be killed without an actual trial & evidence of guilt.
@@sajjad__alking6884 What is gained by this story?
@@t.l.1610Hahahahaha, you speak as if you are Iraqi and know Iraq.. I am Iraqi and I know my people. These people you are talking about were fighting with ISIS against the Iraqi army, and it is the duty of army men and volunteers. Arresting them and investigating them until the innocent of the guilty emerges... You are talking about human rights. You must hold America and its coalition accountable, which destroyed Iraq and took lives. More than 500 thousand Iraqi children. America and 34 European countries fought Iraq, destroyed it, and returned it to the Stone Age after it had been the greatest country in the Middle East.
@@andrearenee7845I swear the Western media is laughing at you
Some reality, and some prapoganda.. infact shia military save Iraq from ISIS..Etc
You are Big lair the civilian are afraid of Militia not than ISIS
Stop lying
"If you don't burn houses, it's not jihad". That's chilling. How can such a person be chosen to give sermons and lead prayers?
Islam is soo peaceful. The medal for the most peaceful faith goes to them. I mean al queda, jaish, hizbool, taliban, isis and many more are Christian and Hindu organizations. I dont know why the global media lies tagging them as islamic organization. Islamophobia. We have to rise against them.
Anchor is so good
Keep up the propaganda. We all know who wants the Sunnis and Shias to remain divided. It's pretty obvious by now.
They've been divided long before the 'West' was even involved.
The militia are working with the government too. And the government isn’t only Shia. So if some one is suspected being from ISIS chances they are
Sis is US creation
Wait. People doing terrible things to each other in the name of religion? No way!
Im from iraq myself. I cant describe how fake this is.
