Iraqi wives at risk as husbands detained

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

As the assault against so-called Islamic State (IS) continues, many desperate civilians have been fleeing to refugee camps in Iraqi Kurdistan. On arrival, all males aged 15 and over are taken for questioning to make sure they are not IS fighters. However many of them have been held in custody ever since. The World Tonight's Paul Moss spoke to some of the women in Dibaga camp near Irbil whose husbands are yet to return. (Photo: Women and children in a refugee camp. Credit: Âé¶¹Éç)
