"My charge is against everyone in Saddam's regime who participated in the genocide of the Kurdish people", he states. Karwan was chosen out of thousands of victims to testify because the effects of the gas attacks are still so obvious. He is almost totally blind. In court, Karwan describes what happened after his village of Shangse was bombed with chemical gas. "Whenever I am in Shangse, old wounds are re-opened". Now, despite the painful memories, he has returned. He shows us round a prison where his comrades were tortured to death and to the field where the bombs fell.
