من الذي قتل زوجي ؟ .. هل سيحاكم الزاملي فقط؟

كتابات - د.س.ق

الاخوه الافاضل في موقع كتابات وجدت موقعكم اهلا لكي انشر فيه قضية عمري وصدرا حنوناً أذرف عليه ماتبقى من دموع لن تنضب
مابقيت وبقي الليل والنهار.
كنا زميلين في كلية الطب ونحلم لبلدنا بكل الخير وتزوجنا وفعلا اعطينا العراق واعطانا وعشنا رغم كل الظروف قانعين بما حبانا الله لايهمنا زيد او عمر من السياسيين لان زوجي رحمه الله كان يقول اننا اطباء ولاعلاقة لنا بالسياسه فمعظم السياسيين قتله ومتآمرون ونحن لاندخل لعبة السياسه لان عملنا هو الطب وكلمن لعب بغير فنّه تعب كما يقول المثل العراقي.
كان زوجي يعمل في احد مستشفيات بغداد وكذلك كانت عيادته, وفي احدى الامسيات بينما كنت انتظر عودة زوجي طال قلقي وانتظاري اذ ان هاتفه الخلوي لم يكن يجيب وعند اتصالي بطبيب الاسنان المجاور لعيادته قال ان تفجيرا حدث وجاءت على اثره احدى سيارات الاسعاف مع اهل المصابين وذهب زوجك معهم.
انتظرت وتسرب الرعب الى قلبي وبدأ الاطفال يسألون وبعد عشرة ايام من الاختفاء وجدت زوجي جثة في ثلاجات الطب العدلي.
لن أرهق اسماعكم ومشاعركم بالمأساة ولكم أن تتخيلوها كما تريدون وأخذت دوري كأرمله وكان مهما لدي ان اعرف من الذي قتل زوجي ومن أمر بقدوم سيارة الاسعاف فان ولديّ عندما يكبران سيسألاني عمن قتل أباهما ولا أريد ان يشعرا أن دمه ومقتله كان هيّناً علي وكان مهماً لدي أيضاً ان اعرف من هو الذي منحني لقب أرمله في منتصف عمري ومن الذي منح والدته لقب ثكلى ومن الذي منح اولادي لقب أيتام.
ذهبت الى وزارة الصحه لكي أتابع معاملة تقاعده ومن خلالها اتعرف على عوالم الجريمه التي اغتالت زوجي, دخلت الى الوزاره ولم يكن فيها مايدل على انتمائها للقرن الواحد والعشرين كان الجميع يتحدث بلغة مولاي والتي بمجرد ذكرها تستطيع الحصول على اي شيء
بمجرد أن تعطي ولاءك لمولاك فإنك ستحصل على التعيين والهبات والمكافئات والسفرات ونساء المتعه ورجال الجريمه.
كان سؤالي هو من الذي أرسل الاسعافات لكي تختطف زوجي؟؟
لم تكن هناك اسرار في وزارة الصحه وكان الحديث عن القتل كالحديث عن الطعام وكان الحديث روتينيا عن آمر سريه و آمر فصيل وقائد فرقه وكأني في وزارة دفاع وليس في وزارة صحه ولكن سمعت المصطلح الجديد العلّاس وقد علمت فيما بعد انه اصغر شيء وبمثابة جندي في جيش المهدي.
كنت أنظر الى الجميع في وزارة الصحه على انهم قتله ولكن صديقتي المخلصه التي تعمل في وزارة الصحه اخبرتني بان الجميع مغلوبين على امرهم بما في ذلك الوزير ووكيليه من حزب الدعوه فإن احدهم أختطف والاخر ينتظر فهناك فقط 3 صقور في الوزاره هم الامرون الناهون المسيطرون القادرون أولهم هو السيد حاكم الزاملي وقد تبرّكت بمقابلته والحق يقال ان العراقيين و حتى القتله منهم يهبون لنصرة امرأه كسيرة الجناح مثلي وقال لي بعد ان خاطبته بلقب سيدنه رحم الله زوجك كان رجلا طيبا ولعن الله من قتله ثم أرسل معي حمايته لكي يكملوا معاملة التقاعد التي لم تكتمل لاني أخذت طفليَّ وهربت خارج العراق.
أمّا الصقر الثاني في وزارة الصحه فكان اسمه السيد جاسب الحجامي وعلمت أنّه الشخص المسؤول عن حركة الاسعافات في انحاء العراق فهو مدير عام مايسمى بالعمليات التخصصيه وفيها قسم الاسعاف الفوري وقد حصر السيد جاسب حركة الاسعافات بنفسه وإن الوزاره تتحدث أنه المسؤول عن الاغتيالات المهمه في جانب الكرخ والخاصه بالاطباء ولكن صديقتي قالت أنك من السهل أن تقابلي الوزير ولكن ليس من السهل ان تقابلي السيد جاسب. إنتظرت في مكتبه فحدثت ضجه دخل عشرة اشخاص قبله وبعده بنفس طريقة دخول الحمايه في زمن النظام السابق ودخل شخص لايتجاوز الثامنه والعشرين عرفت فيما بعد أنه جاسب يشبه عدي صدام حسين شكلا وسلوكا وتجبراً وإن الوزير يرتجف حين يتحدث معه ورفض مقابلتي دون ان يقبل أية مناقشه وشعرت بأحساس الارمله ان هذا الشخص من الممكن أن يكون قاتلاً.

وظل الهاجس يلاحقني والفكره الملحّه في من هو أرسل الاسعافات لاختطاف زوجي واعلمت بأن المدعو علي بستان والشهير بعلي بسيتين هو الصقر الثالث في وزارة الصحه وقد علمت ايضا ان علي بسيتين هو شقيق محمد بسيتين الفرطوسي وهذا الر جل هو الذي سرق بنوك مدينة الصدر بعد احداث التاسع من نيسان وبعدها قاد تظاهره ضد الامريكان ثم فسّقه السيد مقتدى ولا اعرف مامعنى كلمة فسّقه لكني سمعتها في وزارة الصحه المهم غادر محمد بسيتين الى ايران وبقي هناك لمدة 3 سنوات بعدها عاد الى العراق قائدا لجيش المهدي في جانب الرصافه وأمر وزير الصحه بتعيين اخيه علي بسيتين مديرا عاما لصحة الرصافه فهنيئا لاهل الرصافه مديرهم الحريص على حياتهم المهم اني علمت أن علي بسيتين هو الامر الناهي باغتيال الاطباء في جانب الرصافه وجاسب الحجامي هو المسؤول عن اغتيال الاطباء في جانب الكرخ.
من الذي قتل زوجي؟؟؟ سجلت القضيه ضد مجهول. مجرم في السجن ومجرمان ما زالا يتمتعان بكامل سلطتهما المطلقه في وزارة الصحه ووزراء متعاقبون يخشون منهما.
الان بعد ان عرفت ببدأ محاكمة حاكم الزاملي استطيع ان ادلي بشهادتي واعلن عن اسم زوجي حين اشعر ان المحاكمه عادله واني لن اقتل بعد ادلائي بالشهاده.
يجب أن يحاكموا وعلى رأسهم السيد الجعفري الطبيب العائد للوطن من لندن والذي كان من المفروض ان يحمل معه كل التطور الطبي في لندن من اجل صحة العراقيين ولكنه اهدانا السمسره السياسيه باعطاء حصة وزارة الصحه الى اناس بدائيين دمروا صحة العراقيين وقتلوا وهجروا اطباءه.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
ومن قتل مظلوماً جعلنا لوليه سلطانا
صدق الله العظيم
Who Killed my husband?
The agony of an Iraqi mother, desperate to keep her children safe after her husband who was adoctor was kidnaped in an ambulance while he was helping injured Iraqi civilians in Baghdad. There is talk of putting the deputy ex health minister, Hasan Zamly on trial, after turning Baghdad hospitals into arenas for sectarian wars.
She asks the obvious question, did he act alone? Who were his accomplices in these crimes?
She describes her humiliating experience of visitng the health ministry, trying to get a pension in order to support her orphaned children, she was unsuccessful.
Her story is typical of many Iraqi women who are now refugees.

Deterioration of Women’s rights and Living Conditions Under Occupation



The BRussells Tribunal wants to present a new important survey it has published: Deterioration of Women’s rights and Living Conditions Under Occupation, written by Iraqi scientist Dr. Souad N. Al-Azzawi, specialist on the subject of depleted uranium and member of our Advisory Committee: (http://www.brusselstribunal.org/pdf/WomenUnderOccupation.pdf)

The conclusions of this study are devastating for the US occupiers and confirm earlier studies, polls and surveys like the Lancet survey and ORB. And even worse: the survey concludes that the total number of deaths amongst the 4.5 million internally displaced or forced migrated people both inside and outside the country is estimated to be 868,500.

The occupation has destroyed the state and nation of Iraq and is continuing to annihilate the population.
The US war machine is committing genocide against the people of Iraq.

Some of the conclusions:

- The unemployment rate is 85% amongst women in the studied population.
- 47% of the women in the study hold some form of higher education degrees including Ph.D.s. When this number is added to high school graduates, the percentage rises to 70.6%.
- The biggest reasons of unemployment are a lack of security and sectarian violence in the country.
- About 36% of the families have no income or an income of less than $100/month. Women and children are made to beg or do menial labor or even work as prostitutes to feed their families.
- Out of the 150 studied families, 87 of them have family members who were killed. There is a high mortality rate of 193 per 1000, indicating the existence of genocide amongst the migrated or displaced population. The studied population is a bias group targeted by the occupation forces and sectarian militias. The total number of deaths amongst the 4.5 million internally displaced or forced migrated people both inside and outside the country is estimated to be 868,500.
- The highest percentage of killings occur due to sectarian militias, followed by occupation forces excessive use of violence (torture etc..).
- The 66 missing members of the studied families represent 12.69% of the members of the studied population, most of who left home for schools, colleges, work, etc. and never came back. Others were captured by guards and security forces and there is no information regarding their current whereabouts.
- About a third of the studied women in the group have developed some form of psychological or other stress related illness.
20% of the students in the studied families are failing school. Major causes include emotional damage as a result of having one or more family members killed and an inability to focus.
- 50% of the students in the studied population are school dropouts. Major causes of quitting include a lack of security and forced displacement or migration. Male student dropouts are higher in number than females.
- The mortality rate among the displaced population is 193 per 1000

Please read and spread this important survey.

Deterioration of Iraqi Women's Rights and Living
Conditions Under Occupation
Dr. Souad N. Al-Azzawi
Associate Professor in Environmental Engineering
Baghdad, Iraq – 19 December 2007.
Abstract:
For centuries, Iraqi women struggled for their human rights. It wasn't until the 1960's that some improvements in constitutional women's rights were implemented. During the seventies and eighties, women's rights improved significantly, providing better educational opportunities, political involvement, equal job opportunities, health care and development of laws and regulations to ensure a better life for Iraqi women and girls.
Deterioration of women's rights in Iraq began during the US-UN comprehensive economical sanctions imposed on Iraqi during the nineties. In 2003, the invasion of Iraq by the USA and its allies resulted in the descent of the rights of women just like other elements in Iraqi society, infrastructure and the general quality of life.
To define the extent of the USA occupation impact on women's rights and living conditions, a survey composed of 21 questions was distributed in two major cities:
Inside Baghdad, Iraq in the Karada District, and
Kudsiya area in Damascus, Syria where more than 200,000 Iraqi refugees live.
The 150 women who answered the survey were a part of 150 families or households composed of a total of 502 Iraqis.
Statistical analysis of the questions of the survey indicated dangerous trends in the security status that drove Iraqi women out of their jobs, where 85% of the studied women are unemployed (taking into consideration that the large majority of this percentage have a formal education). The study also indicated that 36% of the studied families lived with no income or a very low income of $100/month or less which has lead to women and children doing menial labor or begging. Also, it was found that 87 families have a victim of either occupation forces or sectarian violence. The mortality rate among this targeted displaced population is 193 per 1000. this high mortality rate is an indication of genocide existing amongst the migrated and displaced population. Missing family members rate at 12.7, and it is also estimated that 20% of the students of the studied women's families are having difficulties and failing schools. A percentage of other students quit school altogether.
The occupation is totally responsible for the deterioration and destruction of women's lives and rights in Iraq. Iraqi women under occupation need the help of their sisters in international women's organizations abroad to help protect them and protect their rights. They also have the right to resist the occupier in every way available to reclaim their lost lives and ensure a better life for themselves and their families.

Outraged Iraqis condemn killings by foreign guards


BAGHDAD (AFP) - by Salam Faraj

Outraged Iraqi authorities on Wednesday condemned the killing in Baghdad of two women by foreign security guards but the Australian-run firm which hired the contractors defended their actions.

Tuesday's shooting comes just days after Iraq vowed to punish US security firm Blackwater after a probe found that its guards opened "deliberate" fire in Baghdad three weeks ago, killing 17 civilians.
"The government and the prime minister and everybody categorically condemns the actions of this company," the head of the Baghdad security plan, General Qassim Mussawi said in a statement.
"Our weapon is the law for this company and we will try to study this issue calmly."
Witnesses to Tuesday's shooting in the Karrada neighbourhood said a woman taxi driver mistakenly got too close to the firm's convoy and came under immediate gunfire by the guards, who work for Dubai-based Unity Resources Group (URG).
The taxi driver, an Armenian Christian woman identifed as Maroni Ohannes, 49, and a female passenger died of gunshots to the head. Another woman passenger was wounded in the shoulder, while a child was injured by flying glass.
Several witnesses reported barrages of gunfire while a policeman who witnessed the shooting said that after blazing away at the car the foreign security guards sped off "like gangsters."
"The first information that we have is that our security team was approached at speed by a vehicle which failed to stop despite an escalation of warnings which included hand signals and a signal flare," Unity said in a statement.
"Finally shots were fired at the vehicle and it stopped. Unity is now working with the Iraqi authorities to determine the outcome of this incident."
"We deeply regret this incident," the company said.


A small group of grieving relatives of the two dead women, both Christians, gathered for their funerals at the Armenian Church in central Baghdad on Wednesday.
"The incident is a barbarous crime," said one sobbing relative, Kasbar Boghos. "Those guards are inhuman. They have no pity nor do they have any religion."
Another, Kevork Armelian, judged the shootings a "crime against humanity."
"We call on the Iraqi government to put an end to this," Armelian told AFP. "It was clear that women were inside the car when they opened fire haphazardly and deliberately.
"We demand the expulsion of the company so that others can learn a lesson. The Australian government when sending envoys should teach them human rights -- not how to kill innocent people."
A spokesman for RTI International, a non-profit organisation which uses Unity as security escorts in Iraq, said the vehicles were returning to base after dropping off its staff.
"No RTI staff members were involved or present when the incident occurred. Unity was not transporting RTI personnel at the time. They had completed a transportation mission and were returning to their base of operations," Patrick Gibbons, the group's communications director, told AFP.
RTI is involved in training Iraqis in local government management and administration.
A US embassy spokeswoman in Baghdad told AFP that Unity was employed by a non-profit organisation under contract to the US government agency USAID.
"USAID does not direct the security arrangements of contractors. Contractors are contractually responsible for the safety and well being of their employees," spokeswoman Mirembe Nantongo told AFP, adding that the State Department was in contact with the Iraqi authorities about the incident.
Iraq's government said on Monday that it was determined to rein in private security contractors operating in the war-torn country following the Blackwater shooting on September 16, which an Iraqi report said was unprovoked.
"We have set strict mechanisms to control the behaviour of the security companies and their conduct in the streets," interior ministry spokesman Abdul Karim Khalaf said.

Noor Muhammad : “I was cooking for him but he was already dead”

BAGHDAD, 18 June 2007 (IRIN) - As Noor Muhammad, 36, was cooking dinner for her family in their Baghdad home two months ago, she heard her son scream from the living room. He had just seen his father dead on TV. Marwan Muhammad was shot dead as he was leaving his shop in the Alawi District of the capital. Noor, a mother of three, never imagined her husband would die like that, and never thought she would learn of his death in that manner. Now she struggles to find ways to raise her children without her husband’s income. “I was cooking for him but he was already dead. When my son screamed my name, crying, I ran to the living room and saw his father lying on the ground with bullets in his body on an Iraqi TV channel. The presenter was saying that he was one of the victims of an exchange of fire between insurgents and Iraqi soldiers in Alawi District. “I got frantic and confused, dropping to the ground on my knees and begging God to tell me that it was all a mistake - that the person wasn’t my husband, even though I could see that the dead man was wearing the same clothes that my husband was wearing when he left home in the morning.
“It was around seven in the evening and I couldn’t do anything. I called my brother asking for help but I was so hysterical that he thought I was crazy and didn’t believe my story. “The next day, early in the morning, I went to the local morgue with my neighbour and the grim reality became true. Marwan was lying on a table, his body completely covered with blood as a result of the five bullets in it. “My life became a disaster after he got killed. Our shop was taken over by locals in the district after they found out Marwan had been killed. I couldn’t even get to the door. My brother went to see if we could do something and some people threatened him. “Marwan didn’t leave us money, only the shop. In the past year, we were living on the little income we got from our shop, but couldn’t save any money. My children are aged five to 12 years old and have a lot of daily expenses. Marwan’s family has left Iraq and my family is very poor - nearly all of them are displaced. “I don’t have money to pay the next rent on my house. I’m afraid that I’ll have to sell everything in it and try to find a camp [for displaced people] to live with my children before I or my children become the next victims to appear on Iraqi TV.” as/ed/cb
