Iraqi authorities have unearthed a mass grave in the Samawah Desert, a chilling reminder of the Baath regime’s systematic oppression, with victims showing signs of execution and brutal treatment.

Iraqi officials announced the discovery of a mass grave in the Samawah Desert on Saturday, containing the remains of dozens of victims, mostly women and children, believed to be executed during the Baath regime's atrocities against the Iraqi people, Iraqi news outlets reported.

The grave, located 97 kilometers from the Nukhayb Desert's Salman Cemetery, was uncovered as part of ongoing investigations into crimes committed under Saddam Hussein's regime.
