An important statement on the mistreatment of Iraqi prisoners in

the Occupation jails.*

The Baath 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 Baathist 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 Baath\" bill, these interrogation

methods were used with the Baath 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 Baathist comrades of Shia branch

of the Islamic faith.



6- the above details were confirmed and documented to the Baath 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 Baath 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.
