Human Rights Watch released their analysis of videos that appear to show security forces murdering and beating detainees in Mosul. Iraq says it is investigating the videos. The organization also criticized what they believe is the forced relocation of 170 Islamic State families to a detention center in Bartala as collective punishment against them. Meanwhile, civilians at relocation camps are waiting for conditions in Mosul to stabilize before they return home.
