The Nayirah testimony was a false testimony given before the United States Congressional Human Rights Caucus on October 10, 1990 by a 15-year-old girl who provided only her first name, Nayirah.
The testimony was widely publicized, and was cited numerous times by United States senators and President George H. W. Bush in their rationale to back Kuwait in the Gulf War.
In 1992, it was revealed that Nayirah's last name was Al-Ṣabaḥ (Arabic: نيرة الصباح) and that she was the daughter of Saud Al-Sabah, the Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States.
Furthermore, it was revealed that her testimony was organized as part of the Citizens for a Free Kuwait public relations campaign, which was run by the American public relations firm Hill & Knowlton for the Kuwaiti government. Following this, Nayirah's testimony has come to be regarded as a classic example of modern atrocity propaganda.
Nayirah证词是1990年10月10日一个15岁的女孩在美国国会人权核心小组面前所作的虚假证词，她只提供了自己的名字--Nayirah。
该证词被广泛宣传，并被美国参议员和乔治-布什总统在海湾战争中支持科威特的理由中多次引用。
1992年，人们发现纳伊拉的姓氏是Al-Ṣabaḥ（阿拉伯语：نيرة الصباح），她是科威特驻美国大使萨义德-萨巴赫的女儿。
此外，据透露，她的证词是作为 "自由科威特公民 "公共关系活动的一部分组织的，该活动由美国公共关系公司Hill & Knowlton为科威特政府运作。在这之后，Nayirah的证词被认为是现代暴行宣传的一个典型例子。
