"Some refugees living outside Iraq will return when conditions improve; others have decided they will never go back because they belong to persecuted minorities or because they have reason to believe they would suffer or be killed upon return."
- IRC senior policy adviser Anna Husarska in a photo essay posted on Slate earlier this month that depicts the everyday lives of Iraqi refugees in Jordan
