(一部抄訳)
4月25日(金)、占領軍は、泥棒の疑いがあるイラク人の若者4人を、バグダットの公園で裸にして行進させた。
恥を晒すまいとして若者たちが全力で走る屈辱的な光景をノルウェーのDagbladet紙のカメラマンが撮影した。
彼等の裸の胸には「アリババ、ハーム(禁じられた、不法な)」、「泥棒、不潔」などの言葉がアラビア語で走り書きされていた。
「アリババ、アリババ」と、叫びながらイラクの男たちを追いかけているアメリカ兵が目撃された。
ロンドンのアムネスティ・インターナショナルは、この冷酷な処置を非難し、来週、国連にこの問題を提起すると約束した。
占領軍は、「ここ数日の間、数百人のイラク人が公園に入ろうとしている。その為、米軍は24時間パトロールをして、公園への侵入を防いでいる。」と、主張している。
第10エンジニア部隊のエリック・キャナデイ司令官は、「我々の任務は、武器の窃盗を防止するために、市民を公園から締め出すことだ」と言い、
『裸にして衣服を燃やし、胸に泥棒と書く』という処置はイラク人が教えてくれたもので、非常に上手くいったと話した。
裸にされた若者のうちの1人Zian Djumma(20歳)は、「行方不明の15歳の少年を探す為に、3人の友人と一緒に空いている門から公園にはいった。」、
「家に帰って、手榴弾を見つけて、兵士達にそれを投げつけてやりたい、私達にそれ(裸にして…)をした奴等だけでなく、兵士なら誰にでも投げてやりたい。」と話した。
しかし、アメリカ人は「その4人は武器のスペアパーツをバッグに入れて運んでいた。」と、話した。
Fury Rages After U.S. Forces Display Iraqi Thieves Naked
BAGHDAD, April 26 (ISlamOnline.net & News Agencies) - The United States was at the center of a new human rights row after four alleged Iraqi thieves were paraded naked in a Baghdad park by U.S. occupation forces on Friday, April 25.
The humiliating spectacle of young men running to hide their shame was captured by aT photographer for Norway's Dagbladet newspaper, which quoted a U.S. officer as saying the deterrent was effective.
However, Amnesty International in London criticized the inhumane treatment and promised to raise the matter urgently with the United Nations next week, Mirror newspaper reported on Saturday, April 26.
"If these pictures are accurate, this is an appalling way to treat prisoners.
Such degrading treatment is a clear violation of the responsibilities of the occupying powers, said Director Kate Allen said.
"Whatever the reason, these men must at all times be treated humanely.
The U.S. authorities must investigate this incident and publicly release their findings," He added.
The four victims had their clothes burned before being publicly humiliated in the Zawra Park which is said be plagued by thieves trying to reach U.S. weapons store, said Mirror.
The degraded prisoners had the words "Ali Baba, Haram'' - "Thief, Unclean" - scrawled in Arabic on their chests, The Geneva Convention stated that "protected persons are entitled to respect."
"They shall at all times be humanely treated, and shall be protected against insults."
"Successful"
The Americans claim that over the last few days several hundred Iraqis have tried to get into the park and U.S. troop patrols have been stepped up around the clock.
Group Commander Eric Canaday, of 10th Engineer Corps, is quoted in Dagbladet as saying, "I think our job is to keep people out of the park to prevent theft of weapons."
Lt Canaday added:
"We have talked with the Iraqi inhabitants.
Some of them gave us the idea so we took the clothes and burned them before we pushed them out with thief written on their chest.
It was quite successful.''
The U.S. soldiers were seen chasing the Iraqi men shouting "Ali Baba, Ali Baba".
All four ran as fast as they could to hide their nakedness, according to onlookers.
Three of the young men got away but 20-year-old Zian Djumma came back with his head bowed down after he put on grey shorts which he found in a looted house.
He told Dagbladet, "This was terrible.
Now I only want to go home and find a hand grenade and throw it at the soldiers.
Not only against those who did it to us but at everybody.
I hate the Americans for this.''
Djumma said the four friends had gone into the park through an open gate looking for a missing 15-year-old boy.
But the Americans said the four were carrying a bag with spare parts for weapons.
