unicode-bidi: bidi-override; direction: ltr"> <p>Iraqi authorities have detained, interrogated, and beaten several protest organizers in Baghdad in recent days, Human Rights Watch said today. Iraqi authorities should stop the attacks and charge or release those being held, Human Rights Watch said.</p> <div style="border-bottom: black 1px solid; border-left: black 1px solid; padding-bottom: 5px; margin: 5px 0px 5px 15px; padding-left: 5px; width: 48%; padding-right: 5px; float: right; border-top: black 1px solid; border-right: black 1px solid; padding-top: 5px"> <p><strong>Background</strong></p> <p>Iraqi authorities have taken several steps to eliminate protests in the capital from public view. On April 13, officials <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110605045016/http://www.hrw.org/en/news/2011/04/21/iraq-widening-crackdown-protests" class="external" target="_blank">issued new regulations</a> barring street protests and allowing them only at three soccer stadiums.</p> <p>In late February, Iraqi police <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110605045016/http://www.hrw.org/en/news/2011/02/17/iraq-investigate-protester-deaths" class="external" target="_blank">allowed dozens of assailants</a> to beat and stab peaceful protesters in Baghdad. In the early hours of February 21, dozens of men, some wielding knives and clubs, attacked about 50 protesters who had set up two tents in Tahrir Square. During nationwide February 25 protests, security forces killed at least 12 protesters across the country and injured more than 100. On that day, Human Rights Watch observed Baghdad security forces beating unarmed journalists and protesters, smashing cameras, and confiscating memory cards.</p> <p>Security forces of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and its ruling parties have used repressive measures against<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110605045016/http://www.hrw.org/en/news/2011/05/24/iraqi-kurdistan-growing-effort-silence-media" class="external" target="_blank"> journalists</a> and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110605045016/http://www.hrw.org/en/news/2011/04/21/iraq-widening-crackdown-protests" class="external" target="_blank">demonstrators</a> since the start of the daily protests in Sulaimaniya on February 17 seeking an end to widespread corruption and greater civil and political rights. On March 6, masked men <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110605045016/http://www.hrw.org/en/news/2011/03/07/iraqi-kurdistan-prevent-attacks-protesters" class="external" target="_blank">attacked demonstrators</a> and set their tents on fire in Sulaimaniya. On April 18, security forces seized control of Sara Square, the center of Sulaimaniya’s protests, and have prevented further demonstrations.</p> <p>On April 27, the KRG issued a 19-page report of its investigation into the violence during the previous 60 days of demonstrations. It concluded that violence was committed by both security forces and protesters, and that "the police and security forces were poorly trained in handling it appropriately."</p> <p>Iraq’s constitution guarantees "freedom of assembly and peaceful demonstration." As a state party to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, Iraq is obligated to protect the right to life and security of the person, and the right to freedom of expression, association, and peaceful assembly.</p> </p></div> <p>In Iraqi Kurdistan, a protest organizer, Isma’il Abdullah, was abducted, stabbed, and beaten on May 27, 2011. 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."

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

dir="rtl" align="right"> <p>لم تكن دعوة قيادة عمليات بغداد الى تغيير مكان التظاهرات لتلقى ترحيب المتظاهرين بل ان تمسكهم بساحة التحرير التي ربما تمنحهم الدعم المعنوي ازداد عقب دعوتهم الى تركها. <br/>احد المشاركين في التظاهرات:نستمر وكل انسان عراقي غيور على بلده ويحس بغيرته على بلده ان يتوجه الى ساحة التحرير يطالب بتصحيح العملية السياسية. <br/>احد المشاركين في التظاهرات: هو المتظاهر طالع يدلي بحريته يطلع يدليهة بين اربع حيطان لو يروح لساحة التحرير هي ليش سميت بالتحرير اني اريد احرر اريد اغير. <br/>ويفسر مراقبون زيادة إصرار المتظاهرين على البقاء في ساحة التحرير بانها انعكاس لأجراءات الحكومة التي تحاول من خلالها تحجيم التظاهرات. <br/>هادي جلو مرعي صحفي: <br/>معظم الناس لا يقبلون بتحجيم دورهم ومنعهم من الخروج للتظاهر واختيار الاماكن التي يريدونها بالتالي فهذه الاجراءات في هذه المرحلة ستكون محل نقد واسع وسيكون هناك رغة لدى الناس ليكونوا بالضد من هذا الاجراء. <br/>وتدافع عمليات عن قرارها بنقل التظاهرات إلى أماكن مغلقة بعيدا عن مركز العاصمة، وتقول إن اسبابا اقتصادية لا تقل عن الأمنية وراء هذا القرار، وهو تبرير ايده اصحاب المحال التجارية المحيطة بساحة التحرير. <br/>اللواء قاسم عطا الناطق بإسم عمليات بغداد: الاف الطلبات قدمت الى قيادة عمليات بغداد مناشدات بإيجاد حل لما يعاني اصحاب هذه المحال ايام الجمع وايام التظاهر لذلك اكدنا على تهيأة ملاعب لم يرغب بالحصول على موافقة رسمية من المحافظة والمحافظة تعطي الموافقة الرسمية على تنظيم التظاهرة في الملاعب. <br/>صاحب محل: كل جمعة يجون واحنة هنا على باب الله ..اكيد يأثر على شغلنة احنة مراح نكدر نشتغل المظاهرات امام المحلات والمحلات مسدودة عدنا عمال يشتغلون راح يكعدون <br/>بلا يوميات <br/>وبينما تشدد قيادة العمليات في تصريحاتها على ضرورة عدم التظاهر في ساحة التحرير يبدو ان العاصفة الترابية التي يتعرض لها العراق ستمنع العديد من المتظاهرين من الخروج أو على الاقل ستوفر على مكافحة الشغب استخدام الهراوات او الغاز المسيل للدموع. </p>

authorities should end their widening crackdown on peaceful protests in northern Iraq, Human Rights Watch said today. The authorities should hold accountable those responsible for attacking protesters and journalists in Arbil and Sulaimaniya since April 17, 2011, including opening fire on demonstrators and beating them severely, Human Rights Watch said.</p> <p>Human Rights Watch also called on Iraqi authorities in Baghdad to investigate the detention and torture of a protester, Alaa Nabil, and to charge or release more than two dozen activists held in a prison in Baghdad’s Old Muthanna Airport. Central government and Kurdistan Regional Government authorities should revoke their recent bans on unlicensed demonstrations in Sulaimaniya province and on street protests in Baghdad, Human Rights Watch said.</p> <p>"Iraqi authorities in Kurdistan and Baghdad need to rein in their security forces and protect the right to protest peacefully," said Joe Stork, deputy Middle East director at Human Rights Watch. "The Iraqi political authorities need to end their knee-jerk responses and stop banning protests, detaining demonstrators, and beating journalists."</p> <h3>Repression in Kurdistan</h3> <p>In the afternoon of April 18 in Arbil, the Kurdistan capital, dozens of armed men in civilian clothes attacked students from the Kurdistan region’s largest university, Salahadin, as they tried to hold a demonstration. Witnesses told Human Rights Watch that the assailants also attacked journalists and at least one member of parliament.</p> <p>A third-year Salahadin student told Human Rights Watch that a large group of organized assailants wearing civilian clothes attacked the protesters with brute force.</p> <p>"We chanted ‘freedom, freedom,’ and then security forces came and abolished the demonstration," the student said. "They were hitting people by knives and sticks … and arrested 23 protesters."</p> <p>The assailants beat Muhamad Kyani, a member of the Iraqi national parliament for the opposition party Goran (Change) List, and his bodyguard while they were walking away from the demonstration. "There was no violence from us, nothing happened from our side to incite them," Kyani told Human Rights Watch. "I was on my way to the car when the Asayish [the official security agency for the Kurdistan region] threw me to the ground and started to kick and beat me." Kyani had two black eyes and other minor injuries from the beating. "They just wanted to intimidate and insult me and those with me," he said. "During the beating they swore at us and called me a traitor."</p> <p>Reporters without Borders documented attacks on at least 10 journalists covering the April 18 protest. The group said assailants also detained numerous journalists, including Awara Hamid of the newspaper <em>Rozhnam, </em>Bahman Omer of <em>Civil Magazine</em>, Hajar Anwar, bureau chief of the Kurdistan News Network, and Mariwan Mala Hassan, a KNN reporter, as well as two of the station’s cameramen.</p> <p>Shwan Sidiq of <em>Civil Magazine</em> was hospitalized after the assailants broke his hand. "My hand is broken, my head still hurts," he told Human Rights Watch. "What I saw was what in 1988 Saddam Hussein did against me and my family."<strong></strong></p> <p>Security forces of the Kurdistan Regional Government and the two ruling parties there, the Kurdistan Democratic Party and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, have used repressive measures against journalists since the start of the protests in Iraq on February 17. The local press freedom group Metro Center has documented more than 150 cases of attacks and harassment of Kurdish journalists since February 17. In March, Human Rights Watch interviewed more than 20 journalists covering the protests in Kurdistan.</p> <p>"Time and again we found that security forces and their proxies violate journalists’ freedom of expression through death threats, arbitrary arrests, beatings, harassment, and by confiscating and vandalizing their equipment," Stork said.</p> <p>In Sulaimaniya, daily clashes since April 17 have injured more than 100 protesters, journalists, and security forces. Witnesses told Human Rights Watch that on April 17 security forces fired live ammunition into the air to clear protesters blocking a road, while others shot into the crowd indiscriminately, wounding at least seven demonstrators.</p> <p>"Police and security forces used everything to attack us," one protester told Human Rights Watch. "They opened fire, threw stones, used sticks and their Kalashnikovs to keep us from demonstrating."</p> <p>Protest organizers told Human Rights Watch that on April 18, security forces violently seized control of Sara Square, the center of daily protests in Sulaimaniya since February 17, and demolished the protesters’ podium. Security forces have fanned out across the city and have refused to allow protesters back to the site – renamed Azadi (Freedom) Square by demonstrators – resulting in clashes on April 18 and 19.</p> <p>On March 6, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110605045016/http://www.hrw.org/en/news/2011/03/07/iraqi-kurdistan-prevent-attacks-protesters" class="external" target="_blank">masked assailants attacked demonstrators</a> and set their tents on fire but failed to evict protesters from the site.</p> <p>On April 19, protest organizers said, security forces detained dozens of students and others in and around Sulaimaniya, releasing most later in the day. One law undergraduate told Human Rights Watch that security forces attacked her and other protesters at the Dukan checkpoint on their way to Sulaimaniya.</p> <p>"We were forced to get off the buses," she said. "They threatened if we went [to the protest], we would be killed. A friend of mine asked them not to shoot us because we have pens and not guns, but when he raised his pen security forces opened fire and he was badly injured."</p> <p>Since then, this student said, she has received anonymous threatening phone calls telling her not to return to Sulaymaniya. Security forces raided Koya University, where she studies, and arrested two students. Their whereabouts remain unknown.</p> <p>The family of a prominent Kurdish writer and activist, Rebin Hardi, told Human Rights Watch that security forces severely beat him during and after his arrest on April 19 for participating in a protest in front of the Sulaimaniya courthouse. Photos taken after his release later that day viewed by Human Rights Watch showed severe swelling up and down the right sight of his body including his eye, arm, and thigh.</p> <p>Since February 17, clashes with security forces have killed at least seven civilians and injured more than 250 demonstrators in Kurdistan, but thousands have continued to protest alleged corruption and the political dominance of the KDP and PUK.</p> <p>On April 19, the government’s Security Committee for Sulaimaniya Province banned all unlicensed demonstrations. Legislation passed by the Kurdistan Regional Government in December gives authorities wide discretion in deciding whether to approve a license for a protest. The law’s wording is exceptionally vague and susceptible to abuse, Human Rights Watch said. Under article 3(c) of the law, authorities can reject a request if "the protest will damage the system or public decency."</p> <h3>Protests in Baghdad</h3> <p>Iraqi security forces in Baghdad are detaining and abusing activists in connection with protests against the chronic lack of basic services and perceived widespread corruption. On April 8, security forces in a vehicle with markings from the 43rd Brigade of the Army’s 11th Division, arrested Nabil at the end of a peaceful protest at Tahrir Square. He was immediately transferred to other security forces in civilian clothing, and held for a week.</p> <p>Released on April 15, Nabil, an organizer of the February 25 Group – one of several groups planning demonstrations in the capital – told Human Rights Watch that he had been beaten repeatedly while his hands were held behind his back with plastic zip-ties, and often while blindfolded. He said his captors also used a stun gun on his arms, chest, and back.</p> <p>"I heard them giving orders to shock us and hit us only below the neck, so there wouldn’t be any marks. They shocked me and hit me on the arms and back and chest," he said. "I got a cut on my head that was bleeding, and one of the guards yelled at another who caused it. ‘Why did you make him bleed? He is a son of a bitch and will make a scandal for us. Do not leave any marks. Hit him in places where there will be no marks.’"</p> <p>Nabil said his captors went through his cell phone and told him, "We know all these numbers, and we are watching and listening to all your calls.’"</p> <p>Nabil had previously been arrested on March 22, and Human Rights Watch witnessed signs of physical abuse immediately after his release from that detention. Human Rights Watch sent inquiries about Nabil’s arrest and others to the offices of the prime minister and security officials but has received no response from authorities.</p> <p>On April 13, security forces entered the adjoining offices of the Federation of Workers Councils and Unions in Iraq (FWCUI) and the Organization of Women’s Freedom in Iraq (OWFI), where the February 25 Group has held meetings in Baghdad. The security forces arrested one of the group’s members, Firas Ali, who has peacefully participated in several of the Tahrir Square demonstrations.</p> <p>A protester detained in early April for taking part in demonstrations at Tahrir Square told Human Rights Watch upon his release that he saw Ali inside a prison in Baghdad’s Old Muthanna Airport. The witness said Ali was being held with more than two dozen protesters, 20 of whom were detained on the day of the April 15 demonstration.</p> <p>Human Rights Watch is also concerned about Haydar Shihab Ahmad, also from the February 25 Group, who has been missing since April 1, just after taking part in that day’s demonstration in Baghdad’s Tahrir Square. Members of his family told Human Rights Watch that they have made several inquiries at prisons in Baghdad in unsuccessful attempts to locate him, and have received no official reply about whether he has been detained.</p> <p>"Iraqi authorities need to release any peaceful protester held incommunicado and without charge, and account for those it is charging with a criminal offense," Stork said.</p> <p>Iraqi authorities have taken several steps to eliminate protests in the capital from public view. On April 13, officials issued new regulations barring street protests and allowing them only at three soccer stadiums.</p> <p>"We have specified Al-Shaab, Kashafa and Zawraa stadiums as permitted sites for demonstrations in Baghdad instead of Ferdus or Tahrir squares," Baghdad’s security spokesman, Major General Qassim Atta, said at a news conference televised by the state broadcaster, Iraqiyya TV. "Many shop owners and street vendors have called us and complained to us because demonstrations have affected their work and the movement of traffic."</p> <p>In late February, Iraqi police <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110605045016/http://www.hrw.org/en/news/2011/02/17/iraq-investigate-protester-deaths" class="external" target="_blank">allowed dozens of assailants</a> to beat and stab peaceful protesters in Baghdad. In the early hours of February 21, dozens of men, some wielding knives and clubs, attacked about 50 protesters who had set up two tents in Tahrir Square. During nationwide February 25 protests, security forces killed at least 12 protesters across the country and injured more than 100. On that day, Human Rights Watch observed Baghdad security forces beating unarmed journalists and protesters, smashing cameras, and confiscating memory cards.</p> <p>On June 25, 2010, in response to thousands of Iraqis who took to the streets to protest a chronic lack of government services, the Interior Ministry issued onerous regulations that <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110605045016/http://www.hrw.org/en/news/2010/09/17/iraq-stop-blocking-demonstrations" class="external" target="_blank">effectively impeded Iraqis from organizing</a> lawful protests. The regulations required organizers to get "written approval of both the minister of interior and the provincial governor" before submitting an application to the relevant police department.</p> <p>Iraq’s constitution guarantees "freedom of assembly and peaceful demonstration."As a state party to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, Iraq is obligated to protect the rights to life and security of the person, and the rights to freedom of expression, association, and peaceful assembly. Iraq should also abide by the United Nations Basic Principles on the Use of Force and Firearms, which state that lethal force may only be used when strictly unavoidable to protect life, and must be exercised with restraint and proportionality. The principles also require governments to "ensure that arbitrary or abusive use of force and firearms by law enforcement officials is punished as a criminal offense under their law."</p>

<p><strong>الأحرار: الإحتلال الأمريكي أعتقل خمسة من الصدريين في البصرة </strong></p> <p>استنكر رئيس كتلة الأحرار في محافظة البصرة، الخميس، اعتقال خمسة من أتباع التيار الصدري من قبل قوات الإحتلال الأمريكية خلال اليومين الماضيين في مناطق مختلفة من البصرة. وقال مازن المازني إن "القوات الأمريكية اعتقلت خمسة من أبناء التيار الصدري في مناطق البصرة المختلفة والمتمثلة بمنطقة 5 ميل في مركز المدينة، وقضاء شط العرب شرق البصرة، وكذلك ناحية الكرمة الواقعة شمال البصرة". واوضح المازني أن "الاعتقالات التي قامت بها القوات الأمريكية غير قانونية كونها لا تستند إلى أوامر قضائية، وكذلك تمت دون الرجوع إلى الجهات الأمنية العراقية". وأضاف ان "الاعتقالات جاءت متزامنة مع إعلان مكتب السيد الشهيد الصدر في البصرة عن تسجيل أسماء الراغبين بالمشاركة في الاعتصام الذي دعا له السيد مقتدى الصدر استنكارا لوجود القوات المحتلة على الأراضي العراقية". وانتقد المازني صمت الحكومة الاتحادية والمحلية اتجاه الانتهاكات والمداهمات التي تقوم بها القوات الأميركية في البصرة، محذرا من تداعيات استمرار هذه المداهمات والاعتقالات "التي تطال الأبرياء من أبناء الشعب العراقي".</p> <p><strong>محامو مدينة الفلوجة يعتصمون في نقابة المحامين للمطالبة برحيل المحتل</strong> </p> <p>طالب محامو مدينة الفلوجة الاحتلال الأمريكي بالرحيل من

<h3><font color="#800000">اخبار متفرقة من العراق</font></h3> <p><b>الامطار الغزيرة تغرق شوارع العاصمة بغداد</b></p> <p>غرقت العديد من مدن وشوارع العاصمة بغداد بعد هطول امطار غزيرة وهبوب عواصف شديدة يوم أمس الاربعاء. <br/>وتسبب طفح المياه والأوحال بمعاناة كبيرة للمواطنين وإرباك حركة السير في معظم الشوارع الرئيسة والإستراتيجية في قلب العاصمة بغداد جراء فيضانها". <br/>وغرقت اغلب شوارع مدينة الصدر والبلديات وزيونة الامر الذي تسبب بالعديد من حوادث السير المرورية، وتأخر وصول الموظفين والطلبة الى دوائرهم ومدارسهم بسبب الزحام جراء تلك الفيضانات. <br/>وكان اهالي حي الجهاد جنوب غربي بغداد قد طالبوا الحكومة بالتدخل الفوري لمساعدتهم في رفع واصلاح الاعمدة والاسلاك الكهربائية التي سقطت نتيجة العواصف التي ضربت العاصمة مساء امس . <br/>واضاف الاهالي "ان بعض الطرق قد قطعت نتيجة لسقوط الاعمدة والاسلاك الكهربائية ".</p> <p><b>انهيار اربعة منازل في كربلاء وسقوط العشرات من ابراج الطاقة الكهربائية جراء الامطار والعواصف الشديدة</b></p> <p>ادت العواصف الترابية والامطار الغزيرة التي شهدتها كربلاء امس الى انهيار اربعة منازل وسقوط 250 برجا ناقلا للطاقة في المحافظة. <br/>وقال مصدر مطلع "ان العواصف الترابية والامطار الغزيرة التي هبت على كربلاء مساء امس أسفرت عن انهيار اربعة منازل وسقوط 250 برجا ناقلا للطاقة من الضغط العالي والواطىء، ما أدى الى انقطاع التيار الكهربائي عن محافظة كربلاء والمحافظات الجنوبية التي تتغذى عن طريق محطة المسيب الحرارية بنسبة 50 %". <br/>وشهدت كربلاء ليل امس الاربعاء هبوب عواصف ترابية قادمة من الصحراء الغربية باتجاه المملكة العربية السعودية رافقتها امطار غزيرة ادت الى فيضانات في الشوارع وسقوط العديد من اشجار النخيل.</p> </p></div> </div> </div> <hr/> <div class="post

<p>قال مسؤولون في وزارة الدفاع الامريكية (بنتاغون) انه سيتم نقل المتهم بتسريب وثائق امريكية سرية الى موقع (ويكيليكس) برادلي منينغ من قاعدة تابعة لقوات مشاة البحرية الامريكية (المارينز) بالقرب من العاصمة الامريكية واشنطن الى قاعدة عسكرية في ولاية (كنساس) لمواصلة التحقيق معه بشأن تسريب هذه الوثائق. <br/>من جهته ذكر المستشار العام للبنتاغون جيه جونسون ان هذه الخطوة تأتي عقب الانتقادات الدولية الشديدة التي تناولت الطريقة التي يتم التعامل بها مع منينغ الذي تم حبسه قبل تسعة اشهر الا ان مسؤولا عسكريا ذكر انه من المتوقع ان يتم نقله اليوم. <br/>ويواجه منينغ (23 عاما) تهمة الحصول على مئات الالاف من الوثائق العسكرية الامريكية والبرقيات الدبلوماسية التي نشرت لاحقا على موقع (ويكيليكس) التي تسبب نشرها في صحف كبرى حول العالم بحرج للحكومة الامريكية وعقد علاقاتها الدبلوماسية مع بعض الدول.</p>

<p><font color="#800000"><strong>توقيف 50 صبيا لارتباطهم بقضايا ارهابية وجنائية </strong></font></p> <p>اوقفت القوات الامنية في محافظة ديالى 50 صبيا في مناطق متفرقة في المحافظة بتهم ارهابية وجنائية. <br/>عملية الاعتقال جاءت على خلفية معلومات استخباراتية اكدت نية تنظيم القاعدة الاجرامي تجنيد صبية تتراوح اعمارهم بين 12 الى 15 سنة لتنفيذ هجمات تستهدف المسؤولين والاجهزة الامنية بواسطة زرع العبوات الناسفة واللاصقة. <br/>التحقيقات كشفت ان من بين الموقوفين عشرة صبيان متهمين باعمال ارهابية، اضافة الى اخرين قاموا بجرائم جنائية متعددة، وتم نقل المتهمين الى سجن الاحداث في مديرية شرطة المحافظة لاتخاذ الاجراءات القانونية بحقهم.</p> <p><font color="#800000"><strong>إصابة متظاهر وصحافية في السليمانية بنيران قوات الأمن الكردية </strong></font></p> <p>أعلنت دائرة صحة السليمانية، مساء اليوم الأحد، عن إصابة احد المتظاهرين وصحافية بنيران قوات الأمن الكردية خلال تظاهرة تطالب بالإصلاح الحكومي، وسط المدينة. وقال مدير صحة السليمانية ريكود محمد رشيد: إن "العشرات من المواطنين خرجوا، عصر اليوم، في تظاهرة سلمية في ساحة السراي، وسط السليمانية، للمطالبة بإجراء الإصلاحات الحكومية"، مبينا أن "قوات الأمن الكردية أطلقت النار على المتظاهرين، ما أسفر عن إصابة احد المتظاهرين وصحافية تعمل في صحيفة هولاتي تدعى جنور محمد أمين بجروح متفاوتة". من جانبها قالت جنور أن "قوات الأمن الكردية أطلقت النار على يدي بسبب تصويري لإحداث التظاهرة". وتشهد محافظة السليمانية، منذ 17 شباط الماضي تظاهرات شارك فيها المئات من الشباب وطلبة الجامعة والمثقفين، للمطالبة بإصلاحات حكومية ومحاربة الفساد والمفسدين، تحولت منذ يومها الأول إلى صدامات مع القوات الأمنية، أسفرت عن وقوع أكثر من 200 شخص بين قتيل وجريح بحسب المصادر الصحية، قبل أن تتحول إلى اعتصام مفتوح في ساحة السراي.</p> <p><strong>مركز حقوقي: أكثر من 100 انتهاك واعتداء على الصحفيين في كردستان العراق</strong> </p> <p>احصى مركز ميترو للدفاع عن حقوق الصحفيين أكثر من 100 حادثة انتهاك واعتداء على الصحفيين في كردستان العراق. وقال بيان للمركز تلقت "شبكة اخبار العراق" نسخة منه: "نعرب عن امتعاضنا لاستمرار الانتهاكات بحق الصحفيين خلال الاسابيع الماضية، في اقليم كردستان العراق". واضاف: "في ظل الصمت التام للمسؤولين والحكومة عن هذه الانتهاكات، التي هي محل امتعاضنا ورفضنا التام لها حيث وقعت عشرات الانتهاكات". وفي سياق متصل اعلنت منظمة (مراسلون بلا حدود) اقدام عناصر من القوى الأمنية على الاعتداء على الصحافيين الذين يغطون مظاهرة نظّمت في ساحة الحرية (سراي أزادي) في السليمانية. </p> <h3><font color="#800000">الاخبار السياسية</font></h3> <p><b>كتلة الاحرار الصدرية تؤكد اختيار نائب واحد لرئيس الجمهورية من دون الهاشمي وعبد المهدي</b></p> <p>أعلن النائب عن كتلة الأحرار التابعة للتيار الصدري حاكم الزاملي، اليوم الأحد، اتفاق التحالف الوطني على اختيار نائب واحد لرئيس الجمهورية، مستبعدا أن يحظى القيادي في القائمة العراقية طارق الهاشمي بهذا المنصب لعدم وجود اتفاق عليه. <br/>وقال الزاملي في تصريح صحفي "إن الكتل المنضوية في التحالف الوطني اتفقت على أن يكون لرئيس الجمهورية جلال الطالباني نائبا واحدا تماشيا مع مصلحة الشعب العراقي"، مؤكدا "أن اختيار نائب واحد لن يثقل ميزانية الدولة". <br/>واستعبد الزاملي "أن يحظى القيادي في القائمة العراقية طارق الهاشمي بمنصب نائب رئيس الجمهورية لعدم حصوله على توافق الكتل السياسية". <br/>واشار إلى "وجود توجه لدى الكتل السياسية برفض تولي أي من نواب طالباني السابقين للمنصب كون أداءهم لم يكن بالمستوى المطلوب"، في اشارة الى القيادي في المجلس الاعلى عادل عبد المهدي وطارق الهاشمي.</p> <p><b>جمع تواقيع مائة نائب للتصويت على جعل احداث الفلوجة ابادة جماعية</b></p> <p>قال النائب عن كتلة تحالف الوسط خالد العلواني ، اليوم الاحد ،انه تم جمع تواقيع مائة نائب من اجل التصويت على جعل احداث مدينة الفلوجة ابادة جماعية. <br/>واوضح العلواني في تصريح صحفي "ان أهل الفلوجة يأملون بجعل أحداث مدينتهم إبادة جماعية بعد تسببها بمقتل 3700 من ابناء المدينة واكثر من 700 مفقود فضلا عن تشريد الالاف من المدنيين من منازلهم عام 2004". <br/>وتابع " ان المتضررين يرغبون باعتبارها جريمة ابادة جماعية افرط فيها جيش الاحتلال الامريكي في استخدام الاسلحة الكيمياوية ومنها الفسفور الابيض الذي تسبب في تشوهات خلقية وارقام خطيرة لدى الاطفال حديثي الولادة و اعترفت بها المنظمات الانسانية الدولية المختصة". <br/>وكان مجلس النواب قد وضع موضوع جعل احداث مدينة الفلوجة كإبادة جماعية في جدول أعماله ولاقى الموضوع تأييدا من بعض الكتل السياسية لاسيما التحالف الوطني الذي أكد أنه سيؤيد المطالبة بالتحقيق مع إياد علاوي بشأن احداث الفلوجة التي جرت خلال فترة توليه رئاسة الوزراء في حال طالبت العراقية بذلك.</p> </p></div> </div> </div> <hr/> <div class="navigation"> <div class="alignleft"><a
