Maliki and his gang are slowly assassinating Tariq Aziz. Please take action
Tariq Aziz is being slowly assassinated by the current rulers of Iraq. Inhumane treatment that amounts to torture. The whole Western political class and human rights bodies should be held responsible if he dies in custody, because of their inaction and negligence. - What follows is a letter that Tariq Aziz’ son wrote to the BRussells Tribunal. We urge politicians, Human Rights Organisations and the media to finally take some decisive action for the release of Tareq Aziz and all other political prisoners. Human rights should be defended. We also republish the appeals of Denis Halliday and Hans von Sponeck, both Former UN Assistant Secretary Generals & United Nations Humanitarian Coordinators for Iraq.
Stephen Lendman: Tariq Aziz: Victim of US Imperialism - He's ill, isolated and fading. His life hangs in the balance. Washington likely wants him dead. He blames America, Israel and Britain. They bear responsibility for destroying Iraq. [...] Separately, von Sponeck and Halliday said they know Aziz. They worked with him. He's a "highly motivated Iraqi nationalist." "He cooperated with the United Nations fully whenever he believed that the benefits of the humanitarian exemption for the Iraqi people could be enhanced." He and Halliday want him released. In 2005 and early 2007, they raised concerns. They "made public appeals for his release on humanitarian grounds." They made subsequent attempts to do so. He's still imprisoned. He's denied due process. He requires urgent medical care. None's forthcoming. He may not last much longer. America and complicit allies want him gone. They're killing him slowly. Death by willful neglect constitutes premeditated murder.
