Wassan Talib Liqa, 31 years old, Omar Muhammad, 25 years old, and
Zainab Fadhil, 26 years old, face imminent execution in Iraq, all
charged with "offences against the public welfare". They are in
Baghdad's Al-Kadhimiya Prison. Two have small children beside them. The
one-year-old daughter of Liqa was born in prison. All women deny the
charges for which they face hanging.
The three were charged with assisting in terror, which means having any
knowledge, or relationship, with a terrorist. None of the three women
was permitted to see a lawyer. The trials to which they were subject are
illegal under international law.
In a country where it is evident there is no state or judicial system,
the occupation and its puppet government use, as all repressive regimes
in history, fake tribunals to exterminate those who oppose them.
