Red Security Museum(Amna Suraka) ~ Sulaymaniyah south of Kurdistan

Red Security Museum

Sculpture showing torture methods used

This museum is known as the Red Security due to the red color of the security building used by Saddam Hussein regime at that time. In the uprising of 1991, the building had been converted to a museum with several parts where visitors can see how the Kurdish rebels and activists used to be tortured by that brutal regime. The museum opens daily from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm.
