On Tuesday, June 23, Iraqi forces once again refused to hand over basic Camp Liberty residents’ necessities of life that had been stopped at the entrance to the camp since last week. Given Iraq’s hot weather, this has created much problem for the residents. Some of the items stopped at the gate are ordinary daily life necessities such as:
Insecticides, anti-mosquito cream, electric cables, water pipeline connections to repair camp’s infrastructure, electric sockets and plugs, light bulbs, electric adaptors, ventilators, vehicle light bulbs, vehicle clutch, bicycle spare parts, water sprinklers, silicon glue , water hoses, batteries, compressor for air conditioner of minibuses, electric generator filters, wrist watch batteries, etc.
It should be noted that residents constantly refer to Iraqi officers to receive these items, but as ordered by the Governmental Committee tasked to suppress Ashraf that functions under the supervision of Iraq’s National Security Advisor, the Iraqis refuse to hand over the items.
Residents’ representatives have presented the problem on a daily basis to the UNAMI monitors and protested the illegal act of Iraqi officers, but UNAMI has not taken effective measures.
Depriving residents of basic human needs in the month of fasting and in 40 degrees Celsius temperatures is an antihuman act and a clear breach of the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the United Nations and Government of Iraq on 25 December 2011, as well as a violation of many international covenants and a criminal measure that those responsible for may be legally prosecuted.
The Iranian Resistance calls on the United Nations and the U.S. government that have repeatedly and in writing committed themselves to the wellbeing and security of Liberty residents to take immediate measures and end this antihuman siege.
