Rejected petition Genocide of religious minorities by IS

More details

The persecution and genocide of religious minorities in Iraq and surrounding regions, by Islamic State (IS), is a horror unfolding before our eyes. The silence of Western governments in the face of this tragedy is chilling.

We want to see our political leaders bravely stand up and speak out against these brutal crimes against humanity. We want them to offer hope to those suffering this violence across the Middle East in the forms of speech, aid, and asylum. We want to hear a condemnation of the envisioned caliphate that is driving IS's acts of savagery.
