Jor­dan­ian news­pa­per al-liwa inter­viewed ex-AbuGhraib pris­oner “Abd Al-Jabar Al-Azawi”, who was in one of the infa­mous Abu Ghraib images, in a very insult­ing posi­tion [Ara­bic read­ers ..click on the image to read].

Al-Azzawi said that there are about 14 thou­sand Iraqi detainees to this day unac­counted and clas­si­fied as “ghost prisoners”.

Q: Regard­ing the charges of the pris­on­ers and detainees?

A:They were all con­fined to the charge of ter­ror­ism even chil­dren under 15 years old, young girls accused of ter­ror­ism; this charge is ready to who­ever the author­i­ties want.

Al-Azawi also pointed out that the occu­py­ing forces are build­ing the largest deten­tion cen­ter in the Mid­dle East sim­i­lar to Guan­tanamo, in south­ern Iraq, par­tic­u­larly in Dhi-Qar province.

We have informed the author­i­ties and inter­na­tional orga­ni­za­tions to stop this work, but we did not receive any answers until today.
