وخروقات تحصل داخل السجون العراقية. <br/>وقالت النزاهة في بيان لها ان اللجان الفرعية الخاصة بمتابعة أحوال موقوفي الهيئة في مكاتب التحقيقات في بغداد والمحافظات قامت بزيارة أماكن توقيف المتهمين للاطلاع على أحوالهم والمشاكل التي تواجههم وإعلامهم بالمراحل التي وصلت إليها الإجراءات التحقيقية في قضاياهم. <br/>واوضح البيان ان اللجنة لاحظت أن هناك عددا من الموقوفين في مراكز الاحتجاز في بغداد لم يتم تسفيرهم الى دائرة الإصلاح المختصة بالرغم من إدانتهم من قبل المحكمة ،مؤكدا ان بعض المتهمين في مركز الموقف والتسفيرات في محافظة النجف تعرضوا الى التعذيب الجسدي والنفسي ،مبينا ان اللجنة أشرت ضيق مكان الموقف بشكل لا يتناسب مع أعداد المودعين فيه في مركزي الشرطة في كل من البصرة وبابل.</p> </div> </div> <hr/> <div class="post clearfix" id="post-13574"> <div class="postmetadata"><span

مقطوعة الرأس. <br/>أما في ديالى فقد اعتقلت قوة من الشرطة أربعة أشخاص بينهم مطلوبان بتهمة الإرهاب خلال سلسلة عمليات دهم شنتها السبت في مناطق متفرقة من المحافظة. <br/>وفي كركوك أعلنت مديرية شرطة حماية

سيارات الاسعاف بالأهداف الإنسانية فقط </strong></p> <p>اكدت اللجنة الدولية للصليب الاحمر عدم جواز استخدام سيارات الاسعاف لغير الاهداف المخصصة لها وضرورة حصر استخدامها بالأهداف الإنسانية اي نقل المصابين أو الجرحى والمرضى فقط. جاء ذلك في بيان للجنة اليوم نقلت فيه دعوة رئيس بعثة الصليب الأحمر الدولي في العراق ماغني بارث وشدد فيه على عدم جواز استخدام هذه السيارات في اية اعمال اخرى او زجها في اعمال العنف. ويأتي البيان الدولي بعد ان كشفت تقارير ان قوة من مغاوير الداخلية واخرى حكومية ترتدي ملابس مدنية قامت باعتقال اربعة من الشباب المتظاهر في ساحة التحرير قبل اسبوعين ونقلهم باحدى سيارات الاسعاف الى احد المعتقلات التابعة لرئاسة الوزراء وسط بغداد. واستنكر البيان ظاهرة سوء استخدام سيارات الاسعاف في غير مهماتها الانسانية مشددا على ضرورة تجنيبها تبعات الأعمال العدائية والعنف لكي يتسنى لها تأدية واجبها في مساعدة مَن هم في حاجة الى العناية. كما دعا البيان الى احترام عمال الإغاثة والمستشفيات والمراكز الصحية على الدوام وقال انه من غير المقبول إعاقة مهمة العاملين في مجال إغاثة المصابين أو الجرحى والمرضى من خلال تكليفهم بمهمات هي في الاساس خارج مسؤوليتهم.واشار الى " إن أعمالاً كهذه تضعف قدرة الناس على الوصول إلى المرافق الطبية، وتهدد سلامة الجرحى والمرضى والعاملين على إخلائهم.</p> <p><strong>طرد وفد من الكونغرس اميركي </strong></p> <p>أعلنت ألحكومة انها أبلغت السفارة الأميركية في بغداد بوجوب مغادرةِ عددٍ من أعضاء الكونغرس الأميركي الذين يزورون العراق حاليا بسبب مواقف أطلقوها من بغداد وطالبوا فيها بتعويضات للجيش الاميركي في العراق وبالتحقيق في احداث معسكر اشرف. <br/>وقال وزير الدولة الناطق باسم الحكومة علي الدباغ للسومرية نيوز إن الحكومة العراقية أبلغت السفارة الأميركية في بغداد ضرورة مغادرة وفد الكونغرس لأنه لم يعد مرغوبا في وجوده. من جانبه، أكد مسؤول رفيع المستوى في وزارة الخارجية أن الوزارة لم تصدر القرار بطرد أعضاء الكونغرس وانه صدر من مجلس الوزراء من دون الرجوع إليها، وبيّن المسؤول أن التصريحات التي أدلى بها أعضاء الكونغرس لم تكن موفقة أبدا وقد أثارت حفيظة العراقيين، إلا أنه لفت إلى أن ذلك لم يكن يستجوبُ طردَهم </p> </p></div> </div> </div> <hr/> <div

The Kurdistan government should make sure its promised investigation of the episode is thorough, fair, and transparent, and leads to the prosecution of those responsible, Human Rights Watch said.</p> <p>"Authorities in Baghdad and in Iraqi-Kurdistan are keeping their citizens from demonstrating peacefully," said Joe Stork, deputy Middle East director at Human Rights Watch. "Iraq needs to make sure that security forces and pro-government gangs stop targeting protest organizers, activists, and journalists."</p> <p>Several activists in the capital told Human Rights Watch that they believed that the increased security at Baghdad’s Tahrir Square and the recent arrests were an attempt to head off reinvigoration of public protests, amid efforts by various small protest groups to work together. They said that neighborhood officials had warned them that security forces had made increased inquiries into the activists’ whereabouts and activities over the past two weeks.</p> <h3>Baghdad Arrests</h3> <p>On May 28, soldiers in four Humvees and two other unmarked vehicles approached the offices of the human rights group Where Are My Rights in Baghdad’s Bab al Mu’adham neighborhood, as members met with fellow protest organizers from the February 25 Group. Members of both groups told Human Rights Watch that soldiers raided the building with guns drawn, took away 13 activists in handcuffs and blindfolds, and confiscated mobile phones, computers and documents.</p> <p>One detained activist who was released on May 29 told Human Rights Watch that during the raid a commanding officer introduced himself as "from Brigade 43"of the army’s 11<sup>th</sup> Division and said another officer was "from Baghdad Operation Command."</p> <p>"They did not show any arrest warrants and did not tell us why we were being arrested," this activist said:</p> <p>A female activist complained and asked to see warrants, and they told her to "shut up and get in the car." They blindfolded and handcuffed us, and while they were doing this, they asked, "Why are you having these meetings? Do you really think you can bring down the government?" And they asked who was supporting us.</p> </p></div> <p> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130127052844/http://gorillasguides.com/2011/06/02/iraq-protest-organizers-beaten-detained-human-rights-watch/#more-13449" class="more-link">» أقرأ التفاصيل .. | Read the rest of this entry »</a></p> </div> </div> <hr/> <div class="post clearfix" id="post-13432"> <div class="postmetadata"><span class="comments"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130127052844/http://gorillasguides.com/2011/05/23/%d8%a5%d8%ad%d8%b5%d8%a7%d8%a6%d9%8a%d8%a9-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%b9%d8%a7%d9%85-2010-%d9%83%d8%a7%d9%86-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%a3%d9%82%d8%b3%d9%89-%d8%b9%d9%84%d9%89-%d9%85%d8%b3%d9%8a%d8%ad%d9%8a%d9%8a-%d8%a7/#respond" title="Comment on إحصائية: العام 2010 كان الأقسى على مسيحيي العراق">No Comments</a></span> Posted on May 23rd, 2011 by Editors</div> <h3><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130127052844/http://gorillasguides.com/2011/05/23/%d8%a5%d8%ad%d8%b5%d8%a7%d8%a6%d9%8a%d8%a9-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%b9%d8%a7%d9%85-2010-%d9%83%d8%a7%d9%86-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%a3%d9%82%d8%b3%d9%89-%d8%b9%d9%84%d9%89-%d9%85%d8%b3%d9%8a%d8%ad%d9%8a%d9%8a-%d8%a7/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to إحصائية: العام 2010 كان الأقسى على مسيحيي العراق">إحصائية: العام 2010 كان الأقسى على مسيحيي العراق</a></h3> <p class="postmetadata">Category: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130127052844/http://gorillasguides.com/category/human-rights/" title="View all posts in Human Rights" rel="category tag">Human Rights</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130127052844/http://gorillasguides.com/category/iraq/" title="View all posts in News" rel="category tag">News</a>, Tags: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130127052844/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/2010/" rel="tag">2010</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130127052844/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/amil/" rel="tag">Amil</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130127052844/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/baghdad/" rel="tag">Baghdad</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130127052844/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/christian-churches-and-monasteries-attacks-on/" rel="tag">Christian churches and monasteries -

فاروق الأعرجي أن الحكومة العراقية قامت بتشكيل لجنة للبحث عن آلاف العراقيين المفقودين منذ الغزو الذي قادته الولايات المتحدة عام 2003 وأطاح بصدام حسين. <br/>وقال الأعرجي في مؤتمر صحفي في بغداد يوم 25 أبريل: "تعريفنا للأشخاص المفقودين هم أولئك الذين اختفوا في العمليات العسكرية والهجمات الإرهابية أو أولئك الذين اختطفوا ولم يظهروا حتى الآن". <br/>وأضاف أنه "يجب على الأسر تقديم الوثائق التي تثبت تسجيل الحادث [الذي أدى إلى اختفائهم] في سجلات الشرطة، وصورة [للشخص] المفقود ورقم هاتفه إلى مكاتب قوات الأمن في جميع المحافظات بدءاً من 2 مايو". </p> </blockquote></div> <p> <a

Kurdistan region, rocked by months of protests where five people have died, risks losing its hard-won reputation as a haven of safety and freedom within the country, experts said.</p> <p>There was still room for talks between protesters and the government, they added, warning any crackdown by Kurdish authorities would inflict immeasurable damage, even straining relations with Washington.</p> <p>The near-daily demonstrations in the region’s second-biggest city of Sulaimaniyah initially decried corruption and nepotism, but have since risen in rancour to call for a complete dissolution of the autonomous government.</p> <p>"Politics in Kurdistan is a very emotive topic," said Ali al-Saffar, an Iraq analyst at the Economist Intelligence Unit in London. "All sides have shown quite a lot of restraint, but if something were to happen it could boil over."</p> <p>Saffar noted that if protesters in Sulaimaniyah were attacked en masse by security forces, "the reputational damage will be immense."</p> <p>"Kurdistan has spent millions in Washington lobbying the US government, and if any crackdown were to happen, it would push back relations a great deal," he said.</p> <p>The three-province region, whose assembly makes decisions independent of Baghdad in most policy areas, is reputed for being markedly safer than the rest of Iraq, where hundreds still die on a monthly basis in insurgent violence.</p> <p>As a result, several foreign firms have invested in the region: the only international chain hotel in Iraq is in the Kurdish capital of Arbil, and several shopping malls have recently been built or are under construction with foreign financing.</p> <p>But high levels of unemployment, graft and nepotism in Kurdistan, which has been ruled by two-parties for decades, sparked street protests in Sulaimaniyah from mid-February, fuelled by uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt.</p> <p>In three straight days of rallies this week more than 100 protesters were wounded when security forces attempted to disperse demonstrations.</p> <p>Kurdish security officials and local non-governmental organisations said more than 300 protesters had been detained since Saturday at the protests.</p> <p>Paris-based watchdog Reporters Without Borders noted in a statement on Thursday that it was "deeply shocked by a spate of arbitrary arrests," while Human Rights Watch in New York called on Kurdish authorities to "end their widening crackdown on peaceful protests."</p> <p>"The demonstrations started especially with the young generation," said Asos Hardi, a Sulaimaniyah-based Kurdish journalist. "The uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt were the main spurs of the protest but, very quickly, a wider section of society joined in."</p> <p>"If you go back and read reports from international organisations about human rights, freedoms, management and corruption in Kurdistan, you can understand why people are angry with their leaders," added Hardi, who helped found two of the region’s biggest independent newspapers.</p> <p>He noted, however, that despite the poisonous views the protesters and government had of each other, there was still hope for dialogue.</p> <p>Sulaimaniyah, reputed as the intellectual capital of the region, has long been a bastion of Iraqi President Jalal Talabani’s Patriotic Union of Kurdistan. A faction of the PUK, however, split in 2009 and went into opposition.</p> <p>In the regional capital of Arbil, by contrast, the Kurdistan Democratic Party of regional president Massud Barzani retains a tight grip.</p> <p>A poll conducted by the Washington-based International Republican Institute in December offered hints for the causes behind the anger in Sulaimaniyah.</p> <p>Some 62 percent of respondents in Sulaimaniyah said Kurdish MPs were not listening to their needs, and 35 percent said the economic situation in Kurdistan was either "somewhat bad" or "very bad," both of which were the highest in the region.</p> <p>"The KDP and the PUK must change," said Mahmud Othman, an independent Kurdish MP in the Iraqi parliament in Baghdad. "They need to change, definitely, but are they capable, are they serious? That is what remains to be seen."</p> <p>Regardless of possible change, independent journalist Hardi insisted the two months of protests marked a crucial shift in Kurdistan.</p> <p>"Everything in our history has been about protecting our existence as a culture, as a nation, as a people," Hardi said. "But now, these protests are about changing and improving our existence."</p> </blockquote> <blockquote><p><strong>Source:</strong> <a
