Haft ohne Kontakt zur Außenwelt
Die 36 iranischen Männer, die im Juli in Camp Ashraf festgenommen wurden, sind von einer Polizeiwache auf einen Militärflughafen in Bagdad gebracht worden. Die Sorge um ihre Sicherheit hält an, da sie nun ohne Kontakt zur Außenwelt festgehalten werden und ihnen Folter und andere Misshandlungen drohen. Die irakischen Behörden verstoßen mit der fortgesetzten Inhaftierung gegen eine gerichtliche Anordnung zur Freilassung der 36 Iraner.

Sachlage
[Weiter auf Englisch:]
On 1 October, 36 Iranian detainees were transferred from a police station in the town of al-Khalis, in Diyala province, north of the Iraqi capital Baghdad, to the Muthanna military airbase in Baghdad where they are being held incommunicado. The detainees were arrested on 28-29 July 2009, when Iraqi security forces used force to take control of Camp Ashraf, in Diyala province, where 3,400 members of the People’s Mojahedeen Organization of Iran (PMOI), an Iranian opposition group, have resided since the mid-1980s. The detainees are in poor health and have been on hunger strike since their arrest.
The transfer of the detainees from al-Khalis to Baghdad took place despite an investigative judge in al-Khalis ruling on three separate occasions that they had no charges to answer and ordered their release. The police at al-Khalis, however, refused to release them without providing any legal justification for their continuing detention. They were eventually transferred using force by the Iraqi military.
PLEASE WRITE IMMEDIATELY IN ENGLISH, ARABIC OR YOUR OWN LANGUAGE:
-
Urge the authorities to release the 36 Iranian detainees following repeated rulings from the investigative judge that they have no charges to answer;
-
demand that the authorities protect the detainees from torture or other ill-treatment while they remain held incommunicado and ensure they are provided with any medical treatment they may require;
- calling on the authorities not to forcibly return to Iran these 36 or any other Camp Ashraf residents who would be at risk of torture and other serious human rights violations there.
