The Occupation forces accentuate and intensify the immoral and criminal mistreatment of detainees:
The life of Comrade Tareq Aziz is in danger.
With a profound respect, we salute the defiance and the resistance of the Comrade detainees and prisoners in the US - UK occupation camps in Resisting Iraq, where our Comrades as always witnessed by their Party, their People and their Nation, as leaders and militant comrades, kept on holding to the truth and to the principles, defending the dignity and the pride of Iraq and the Nation in every time and under any circumstances whatever difficult they were. These are the courageous Baathists! These are the honorable Mujahidins! These are the loyal patriots! These are the honorable men whose heart beats with their Arab identity, namely the Comrade leader the Secretary General of the Baath Party in Iraq and his Comrades in the Iraq leadership, the blessed heroes!
These days where the Resisting Baath writes with letters of light and fire the Epic of the liberation revolution of Iraq, plunges and thrusts the mightiest army in the world in shame, contempt, and abjection, the US imperialism, racist sectarian and Zionist masonry circles' impotency and hatred get even more defeated and grow more degraded in the way the Occupation purposely treats the heroic leaders with no exception.. Where they try with despair to morally affect our leader Comrades Baathists, including the militant Comrade Tareq Aziz' defiance and resistance
The Occupation force wishes and desires were fulfilled by the complicity of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). Concerning this question we did have in the past and on more than one occasion, issued four statements dealing with the detainees and prisoners situation and the ICRC despicable condemned attitude which will for ever, be a stain on its history for its sick neutrality in occupied Iraq.
In four statements issued on the 25/12/2005, 2/12005, 13/10/2004 and 08/05/2004, we did require from the mentioned Committee to declare frankly that it is not in a position to fulfill its obligations and incumbent responsibilities according to the International and human laws and the Geneva conventions due to the US Occupation interference and hindrance, and this the mere truth… but this Committee hid in silence and went on with its accomplice and despicable behavior with the US-UK occupation forces in Iraq.. We seize again this occasion to declare that this Committee bears full moral and ethical responsibility of what has been undertaken and still is, in the detention and imprisonment Camps. Indeed, this Committee has agreed to play a political role and not a humanitarian one through its presence and behavior in occupied Iraq.
When the ICRC is not able for seven recurrent times to meet Comrade Tareq Aziz in the US detention Camp, where he is battling a terrible disease and gets exposed to repetitive heart attacks, and a serious brain stroke, this shows its genuine complicity with the Occupation forces and its mere acceptance to play the despicable and political role to serve the US Occupation plans in Iraq.
