International organization calls for releasing children detainees in Iraq

[Sliverofhope]

The International organization "Save The Children" called on the Danish government to mediate immediately with the coalition forces in Iraq in order to release children detained in the Iraqi jails.

...

Hurdal said that his organization heard rumors about this matter since May this year some of it were stated by employees working in its branch in al- Basra to the south of Iraq but without evidences. He said that " the filmed report which was broadcast by the German station proved our doubts." The organization called on the Danish minister of defense Surin Ghad to interfere at the coalition forces in order to prepare the report over the situation of children in the Iraqi jails.

...

But the minister replied that his ministry knows nothing about children detained in the area that falls under the control of the Danish forces in al-Basra, while the organization considered this answer a rejection to take a position towards " the responsibility of the other forces in the coalition." In May UNICEF expressed its concern over information talking about the possibility that children are mistreated in the occupation jails in Iraq.

1. once upon a time in America...

...there would have been efforts by our government- for whatever reasons- to get children such as these released from their suffering. Now that the US government is the mastermind in the suffering of these innocents, there is nowhere else on earth to go to get these kids out. And that is intolerable. Thanks for reminding us again of what America has become under the sadistic reign of George W Butcher.
