The non-execution of the verdicts given to the terrorists and leaving them in jail for these prolonged periods of time have many dangerous implications for the country, the government and the security officers themselves. These terrorists have their secret organizations abroad which are making moves in order to release them after the assassination of the judges and security officers that are in charge of the investigations, and also the fact that bribes are being given in order to manipulate the documents of the investigations and the tampering with and destruction of incriminating evidence. In addition, there are agents operating in the dark corridors of the courts and police stations and who carry bags of dollars in cash in order to facilitate the escape of these terrorists and their release by buying off some of the officials in charge of these cases. The danger of keeping these criminals and murderers in prison is that this allows them to run the killing operations and the assassination of citizens and members of the security agencies. Also, there is the fact that many of these elements have joined their secret terrorist organizations by means of brainwashing that they carry out in the prisons and recruiting less-informed elements to join their ranks, which turns these prisons into factories for producing terrorists and not for eradicating them. So, the swift administration of justice will spare the country a lot of dangers.

There are many repressive forces which belong to the former regime in Iraq. Those parties are responsible for many violations and crimes. Besides, they sympathize and even cooperate with many terrorist and extremists groups in a covert backdoor. Those groups expose the innocent Iraqi people to several types of danger. They do not hesitate to kill thousands and harm hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians every day. This is an example which illustrates the recurrent abuse and violations of the human rights of the Iraqis who are deprived of their liberties. Indeed, the rights of the Iraqi people have been denied since the era of the former regime and even upon the arrival of the occupation forces which ended the oppressive rule of the tyrant Saddam Hussein. In fact, the violations have aggravated since then. Indeed, the heinous violations of human rights in Iraqi prisons represent the biggest conclusive evidence of abuses. All human rights conventions and laws that protect citizens in any position are strikingly violated. Indeed, the international organizations noted that human rights are not respected in the Iraqi prisons. It is really surprising that the perpetrators of those heinous violations against the imprisoned citizens are basically the Military Police and the executive authorities, which received the reins of power in Iraq for a transitional temporary period. From this standpoint, we need some time to evaluate the situation together with international political, social and humanitarian forces. Indeed, we must stand united against these violations and call for the implementation of all human rights conventions which preserve freedoms for citizens. We also need to promote the principles of human rights in Iraq.

Undoubtedly, what is happening in Iraqi prisons does not please anyone because it is stripped of the ethics of human beings. They treat prisoners with all various kinds of torture. How can they do that? They also claim that it fixes the status of the prisoners and make them overcome their crimes. Therefore, we destroy their psychological state with torture and then ask them to be good citizens. This is one of the wrong ways of reform. Iraqi prison officials must have psychological background to treat these prisoners. We all know that one of the reasons of crimes is the spread of psychiatric diseases. Therefore, I ask and demand from Iraqi governments to put a psychological therapist in every prison who will seek to know the reasons behind the committed crime of a prisoner and how to be able to treat it.

Those barbaric people got the nerve to commit such atrocities against those helpless prisoners by torturing imprisoned Iraqis regardless of their nationalities or religions and how can that be? We find that they are torturing men and elderly people, even women and children. And under what law or religion? All religions demand that human lives be safe and far away from violence or torture. Humans must live a good life as much as possible. All religions also want to keep away from suspicions so as not to cause Iraqi citizens to be imprisoned or arrested. All religions also stated the need to free homelands from the colonists. We find that the Iraqi citizens were caught in this dilemma severely while they were trying to liberate their country. On the other hand, they are engaged in bombings of the colonists which led to their arrest in prisons. Secret prisons located between Iraq and Kuwait appeared recently. No one knows any information about their prisoners. The parents of the prisoners are now living in severe bafflement and do not know any way to help them get out of it. I urge the United Nations and human rights associations to look after them, as they call for upholding human rights but at the same time, they do not impose protection over the Iraqi prisoners. They must perform their mission because their success in strengthening the Iraqi prisons with officials who improve their treatment of prisoners leads to the success of their messages of life. We urge them to improve the conditions of the Iraqi prisoners as much as possible and not to forget that they are humans who make mistakes sometimes. In case they make mistakes, they should be punished by their own law governing in the country of Iraq to make justice prevail between people and their government.

The entire world calls for human rights. We appeal for the sake of Iraqi prisoners who suffer from torture, insult and inhumanity from the treatment of the Iraqi Government and prison sector officials. We ask and demand that those Iraqi prison officials understand that the imprisoned person is a human being who entered prison to be reformed and disciplined, and not to be disgraced, tortured, or treated badly. An Iraqi prisoner entered the prison because of committing a specific fault or transgression of law, being imprisoned by the law, and must perform his sentence by the law. Therefore, we must respect his humanity according to what was stipulated in the law. We must call on the Iraqi Government to end all insults and torture lying upon the imprisoned Iraqis. Those Iraqi prison officials must improve their treatment and must pay attention to a healthy environment and to the inmates’ nutrition. They must also follow the proper schedule for vaccinating them. We have heard many times about the frequent neglect of those prisoners and the amount of torture and stale treatment they received from officers and military men. I would like to draw attention to those secret prisons spread under U.S. colonialism. After it ended, we still discovered scandals from time to time coming from these secret prisons like the execution rooms scandal at Kadhimiya prison. One source confirms the facts and the role that is associated with the Interior Ministry to refrain from providing statements of detainees without any documents of investigations or charges.

A lot of violations and breaches which are rejected by the whole of humanity have been committed in the Iraqi prisons against prisoners. Thus, the human rights organizations which are maintaining the human laws must confront these violations and work on halting such crimes which are committed by the Police and Security members against Iraqis inside prisons, so that every prisoner will be able to get all his rights and maintain his humanity. In fact, all those who have a relationship with one of the prisoners are calling on the international community to deal with what is taking place in prisons, putting an end to the suffering of Iraqis there and facing those who are carrying out any kind of human rights violations by all means. Indeed, prisoners in Iraq are subjected to a lot of pain and suffering because of ill-treatment which consists in violating their honors and humanity and subjecting their lives and bodies to a lot of harm. I wonder where the civil society and the human rights organizations are. I also wonder where the laws which are imposed on prisons to protect them from all the violations which are currently taking place in the Iraqi prisons, and most of Iraqis are suffering from them when they enter these prisons. Therefore, everyone must face all these violations and all those who are responsible for them strongly and firmly. We should never show any kind of negligence towards any person regardless of his authority if he carries out any violation that endangers the life and bodies of prisoners.

Certainly, this is a good step. I hope that prisons become for the reformation and correction. But, I hope I won't see any prisoner in the beloved Iraq and that all Iraqis become free and liberated.
