Nathum Mohammad Isma’il al-‘Ani was one of 18 people arrested by Iraqi security forces in Baghdad on 21 December 2005. There has been no news of Nathum Mohammad Isma’il al-‘Ani since January 2006. Iraqi security forces arrested, blindfolded and handcuffed the 18 men before taking them to an unknown location where they were interrogated. They are believed to be the victims of enforced disappearance and Amnesty International fears for their lives.
