AN IMPORTANT STATEMENT ON THE MISTREATMENT
OF IRAQI PRISONERS IN THE OCCUPATION JAILS
The
Ba’ath Party and the leadership of the Resistance
and Liberation have chosen not to immediately comment in
the medias on the scandals of the mistreatment of the Iraqi
prisoners and their assassination in the American and British
Occupation jails Despite the immense and still non abating
noise made mainly by American and British press, which was
exploited for the American election considerations, and as an
attempt to save the ugly face of “the imperialist democracy”
talking about transparency and divulging the news even when it
is far too late. Here we like to assert the following facts
and realities.
1 - The inhumane and degrading treatment of Iraqi prisoners in the
Occupation jails and which were heard of by the whole wide
world and some of its examples recently seen, when the
occupation invasion forces started to capture the Iraqi armed
forces members and other military personnel, has widened and
become systematic according to plans and regulations used in
every camp and military temporary or permanent imprisonment
jail.
2 - Based on the premises that the Invasion and the occupation of Iraq
were based on lies and fallacious pretexts configured by the
non-existent weapons of mass destruction programmes, the
different leaderships and Intelligence institutions
fundamental guidelines to deal with the Iraqi prisoners and
detainees were oriented to a desperate attempt to snatch any
information comforting the invasion and the occupation
pretexts and in any way or form which could possibly lead to
the objective required. In that early stage the traitors
and enemy agents security gangs such as Badr militias
and the thugs of the National Congress and the Movement
of al Wifaq, played a participative role in the real
ongoing effort known to the world later.
3 - Later when the detainees were separated according to their employment
post or military rank, or whether they were Ba’athist or
not, ways and means of interrogation were established based
on:
*
The technical and professional connection with the Iraqi
military and armament industries.
*
The technical and professional connection with the programmes,
documents and political archives concerning the political
leadership activities, meetings and discussions with a special
attention to Comrade Saddam Hussein the Iraq
Secretary-General of the Party and the President of the
Republic.
4 - When the armed resistance started as a fundamental effort to defend
Iraq through military operations until April 9th 2003, the
connection with the Resistance, its leadership and everything
respective to its domain, remained the Occupation forces
number one objective.
5 - Thus, special interrogation means and ways were established and after
approving the “uprooting the Ba’ath” bill, these
interrogation methods were used with the Ba’ath comrades as
to convene this bill's demands and requirements agreed upon
earlier by the Occupation and the traitors, agents and thug
gangs composing the “puppet Governing Council”
where many cases of torture leading to death occurred and
which concern especially the Muslim Ba’athist comrades of
Shia branch of the Islamic faith.
6 - The above details were confirmed and documented to the Ba’ath and
the Liberation and Resistance Leadership based on widespread
information from within the imprisonment jails and camps from
one hand and on the imprisoned comrades and detainees who fled
or gained freedom and who reported to their party leadership.
The
national, human and legal responsibility
The
American and British occupation's highest political leadership
bears full responsibility for what happened or is happening to
the Iraqi prisoners and detainees in the imprisonment camps in
occupied Iraq. In fact what has happened doesn't constitute
isolated cases but systematic used, and approved methods. The
war and occupation objectives are not separated from the still
ongoing killings, destruction, looting and dismantling of the
Iraqi State institutions.
The
International Committee of the Red Cross ICRC bear
responsibility according to its duties, keeping in mind that
the committee was perfectly aware of these practices since the
very beginning of the occupation.
The
United Nations and its Secretary general, in person, bear the
human and legal responsibility, for they have indeed legalized
the occupation, and put Iraq security and its people's safety,
in the hands of the occupation forces authority.
The
Occupation authority in Iraq bears full responsibility for
being an active catalyst agent to adopt these interrogation
methods in coordination with the different occupying countries
civil and military intelligence.
The
Puppet Governing Council, with its parties and members bear
responsibility, on a national level first and second on human
and legal level, as a picked up occupation stooge and as a
supporter of and exploiter from the adoption of Ba’ath
uprooting bills, the disbanding of the Armed forces and the
dismantling of the Iraqi State institutions.
The
Occupation, its highest leadership, its forces, and its
authorities on the land of occupied Iraq and the parties and
members of the Puppet Governing Council are targets of the
legitimate resistance
and people and the combat with them goes on. They are targeted
first because of their cooperation with the occupation and
second because whatever the occupation produces or it has
produced, including torturing, degrading and killing of Iraqi
detainees.
As far as the ICRC is concerned, it has lost its
credibility in Iraq and among Iraqis and in the world, so is
the case of the United Nations Organizations since it imposed
an unjust blockade on Iraqis fourteen years ago.
