2012 Iraq emo killings
Series of murders of Iraqi teenagers in 2012
The 2012 emo killings in Iraq were a string of homicides that were claimed by some sources to be part of a campaign against Iraqi teenage boys who dressed in an emo style carried out by paramilitary groups as an attack on Western culture. The BBC could find no evidence to support the idea that between 6 and 70 young men were beaten to death with cement blocks in Baghdad in March 2012.
