These are fundamental requirements that should be adhered to by all parties. Any violation should be punishable by law. Unfortunately, the prisoners in Iraq did not meet these fundamental requirements; some were executed with a kangaroo trial, their lawyers were not allowed to attend, and some were assassinated as defense lawyers of President Saddam Hussein. Khamis al-Obeidi was abducted from his house and killed on June 26, 2006. He was 39 years old and the father of three children. Among the political prisoners in Iraq is Abdulghani Abdulghaffour Al-Ani, who is 80 years man suffering from various illnesses, like the rest of the political prisoners captured by the American invaders and surrendered later on to the Iraqi sectarian government to be tortured and abused, with no healthcare whatsoever. Recently, I spoke with his son, and he told me about his miserable health and psychological status. Mr. Abdulghani Abdulghaffour Alani is now eighty years old and is in one of the prisons of Baghdad, where he has now spent more than twenty-one years moving between the prisons of the American and Iraqi forces in many provinces and suffers from strokes, diabetes, high blood pressure, and the loss of one of his eyes due to medical negligence, which caused him to hinder his movement to do the daily needs that require the presence of someone to help him to do so We often demanded that he be released so that he could live the rest of his life among his family. We appealed to human rights organizations in the Arab world, Europe, and America, but we did not receive an answer; in addition to appealing to the Iraqi government, we demanded their release in the name of humanity. Being old and ravaged by aging diseases. The family of the political prisoner appeals to those who care and urges individuals and organizations to launch a campaign to help release Mr.Alani and others who suffered in captivity for supporting their people and serving Iraq honorably. Let us join hands to help this captive and the rest of the prisoners to be released and spend the rest of their lives with their families, their children, and grandchildren<\/strong>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"html-div xe8uvvx xdj266r x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r xexx8yu x4uap5 x18d9i69 xkhd6sd x1h91t0o xkh2ocl x78zum5 xdt5ytf x13a6bvl x193iq5w x1iyjqo2 x1eb86dx\" role=\"presentation\">\n<div class=\"html-div xe8uvvx xdj266r x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r xexx8yu x4uap5 x18d9i69 xkhd6sd x1r8uery x1iyjqo2\" role=\"presentation\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"html-div xe8uvvx xdj266r x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r xexx8yu x4uap5 x18d9i69 xkhd6sd x1h91t0o xkh2ocl x78zum5 xdt5ytf x13a6bvl x193iq5w x1iyjqo2 x1eb86dx\" role=\"presentation\">\n<div class=\"html-div xe8uvvx xdj266r x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r xexx8yu x4uap5 x18d9i69 xkhd6sd x1r8uery x1iyjqo2\" role=\"presentation\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"html-div xe8uvvx xdj266r x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r xexx8yu x4uap5 x18d9i69 xkhd6sd x1h91t0o xkh2ocl x78zum5 xdt5ytf x13a6bvl x193iq5w x1c4vz4f x1eb86dx\" role=\"presentation\">\n<div class=\"html-div xe8uvvx xdj266r x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r xexx8yu x4uap5 x18d9i69 xkhd6sd\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x9f619 x1n2onr6 x1ja2u2z\">\n<div class=\"__fb-light-mode x1n2onr6\" role=\"row\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<div class=\"x78zum5 xdt5ytf x1n2onr6\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"gridcell\" data-release-focus-from=\"CLICK\" data-scope=\"messages_table\">\n<div class=\"html-div xe8uvvx xdj266r x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r xexx8yu x4uap5 x18d9i69 xkhd6sd x1eb86dx xh8yej3 x1jwls1v\" role=\"presentation\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Urgent Appeal to Release a Political Prisoner in Iraq.
