NCRI – By the order of the Iraqi Prime Ministry Committee tasked to suppress Ashraf residents, since January 27, 2012, Iraqi forces have started digging the ground in the fuel depot in the occupied area north of Ashraf stealing the fuel along with the fuel tanks.
There are sixty-one fuel tanks in the fuel depot area that belong to the residents. Following the 8 April 2011 attack, Iraqi forces prevented residents from using the fuel in these fuel tanks. This is while the Iraqi government has prevented the entry of gasoline to Ashraf since February 2011 and diesel fuel since May 2011.
At the same time, Iraqi forces continue to loot the residents’ property in the Moin Building Complex. This complex, that housed 400 residents, was occupied by the Iraqi forces in the 8 April 2011 attack.
On January 28, in two rounds the Iraqi forces stole the residents’ property, including washing machines, water heaters, ironware and etc. using their military vehicles.
