UN Calls for US, Iraqi Probe into WikiLeaks evidence: SF Chronicle

MohadessinNCRI – Reporting on the recent revelations on Iraq by WikiLeaks, the American daily ‎San Francisco Chronicle wrote on Tuesday, “The United Nations’ top human rights ‎official called on Tuesday for the U.S. and Iraq to investigate allegations of detainee ‎abuse contained in Wikileaks’ release of American military documents.”

‎“The online whistleblower put out nearly 400,000 field reports by American soldiers on ‎Friday. Many of them contained reports of severe abuse by Iraqi forces, and showed that ‎U.S. troops did not intervene to halt the violence in many cases.”‎

‎“U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay said the information adds to ‎‎”concerns that serious breaches of international human rights law have occurred in Iraq.””‎

The daily added, “Pillay said that the U.S. and Iraq should prosecute anyone believed ‎responsible for torture, unlawful killings and other abuses.”

The paper also released photos of a press conference in Brussels by the National Council ‎of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) on Tuesday. The NCRI’s Foreign Affairs Committee ‎Chairman, Mohammad Mohaddessin, revealed fresh evidence on the Iranian regime’s ‎meddling in Iraq during the conference.‎
