The Iraqi judicial and legal system does not respect life, human rights or international standards. It is flawed and inhumane at all levels, from the initial arrest of a person, to their detention conditions, their methods of interrogation and extracting confessions, to their sentencing without trials and finally, to the execution of prisoners.

On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the American Occupation and in recognition of all your good and well-meaning efforts in the service of humanitarian issues, including that of lraq, we are writing you the following message with the hope that it will be dealt with in a fitting manner that serves our cause.
