Minority groups in Iraq are facing "desperate conditions","a barrage of attacks" and the threat of being "eradicated" from their homeland.

In a report published on Monday, the London-based Minority Rights Group International calls on the Iraqi government to promote the political participation of religious and ethnic minorities.

The group reports that "chaos has ensued" since a US-led coalition overthrew then-Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein in 2003.
