Forty Islamic Association Party Held for Four Years
Without Trial
(Hawlati)
The head of the Islamic Association Party, Ali
Bapeer, is asking the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan
and Kurdistan Democratic Party to try 40 members of
his party who have been imprisoned without trial for
four years. (Iraqi Kurdistan has had semi-autonomy
over its region since 1991.)
Thirty are being held in KDP-controlled jails, while
the other ten are being in PUK-controlled detention
facilities. Bapeer said the conditions for the
prisoners were not good and they had been tortured.
He said one party member held in the KDP-controlled
jail was tried and found innocent by the judge but
has not been released.

independent Kurdish newspaper issued weekly.)

Officials Participating in Oil Smuggling
(Al-Mada)
Nineva integrity office manager Talin Dawood
Daghistani has asked the government to put an end to
organised smuggling of Iraqi oil through the Rabeea
border point.
He said the integrity office has authentic documents
proving that some officials are involved in
smuggling oil to Syria through Rabeea point (in
Nineva province in northwestern Iraq.)
He maintained that there are organized gangs in
Rabeea point collaborating with former high-ranking
Iraqi officials inside Syria to fund the insurgents
inside Iraq with the oil smuggling revenue. He said
billions of dollars worth of oil has been smuggled
in the last two years.
