The suppressive Ashraf Committee
in the Iraqi Prime Ministry is stonewalling the drainage of black water tanks in
Camp Liberty since January 9 to intensify the pressures and to psychologically
and physically torture camp’s residents.
Major Ahmed Khozair, an
element of the Iraqi Prime Ministry and one of the perpetrators of massacres of
Ashraf residents in the years of 2009, 2011 and 2013 is responsible for
implementing this suppressive measure. Following the September 1 massacre he
was transferred to Camp Liberty and ever since residents are facing new difficulties
every day that are caused by him and those under his command who are stationed
at Camp Liberty’s entrance.
Stirring up problems for
drivers of sewage tankers, unjustifiably delaying their work, insulting them, tearing
up the drivers’ identity cards, and battering and injuring them is being
repeated every day by Ahmed Khozair and his men.
Imposing fresh
restrictions in drainage of the black water tanks has resulted in their
overflow. Moreover, since these tanks are worn out, delay in their drainage
causes the pressure inside to rise up leading to their rupture and consequently
contamination of the environment. Therefore, residents are coerced to restrict
their water consumption for sanitary purposes that in turn results in added
health problems and the outbreak of many diseases in the camp. The Government
of Iraq prevents replacing these dilapidated black water tanks with those in
Ashraf that are in good condition or new.
The Iranian Resistance
brings the attention of the U.S. government and the United Nations and its
various bodies, especially the World Health Organization, to these suppressive
measures that are a breach of the humanitarian standards and severely threaten
the residents’ health and calls for the removal of criminals such as Ahmed
Khozair from Camp Liberty who through these provoking acts prepare the ground
for the next attacks and massacres.
