SULEIMANIYA, IRAQ.- A statue representing a Kurdish fighter is handcuffed to a wall 24 January 2005 in what used to be a jail run by the security apparatus of former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein in the northern Iraqi Kurdish city of Suleimaniya. The prison has been transformed into a museum, named "We Will Never Forget". Hundreds of thousands of Iraqi Kurds perished under Saddam's Baath party regime.
