A prominent Iraqi human rights activist says that Iraqi militias have deployed a painful form of torture against homosexuals by closing their anuses using glue. Yina Mohammad told Alarabiya.net that "Iraqi militias have deployed an unprecedented form of torture against homosexuals by using a very strong glue that will close their anus." According to her, the new substance "is known as the American hum, which is an Iranian-manufactured glue that if applied to the skin, sticks to it and can only be removed by surgery. After they glue the anuses of homosexuals, they give them a drink that causes diarrhea. Since the anus is closed, the diarrhea causes death. Videos of this form of torture are being distributed on mobile cellphones in Iraq."
