In the sunni neighborhood of gaza where they came to escape threats from the mahdi army in two thousand and six hundred ninety five and a mother in law struggling to care for their household including his two kids. Like almost one in ten women in iraq they are widows. And its husband hussein was killed by u. S. Forces during a raid on the markets in two thousand and five. She had just learned she was pregnant with their second child a book about the. Mahdi and shimmered neighbors total can have been almost. On a hard time. Aside moment ive met that also got a little bit to the.

Interrogators strategy is they trying to quell resistance that the u. S. Terms terrorism or detaining people across the country especially those from sunni areas. As much. You know. Over the past year human Rights Groups have reported that Iraqi Government Security Forces have conducted sweeps preemptively arresting hundreds of people detaining and sometimes torturing them in secret prisons inside the International Zone some of the same people who were detained by the americans and were accused of being terrorists then many live in sunni areas in and around baghdad from where armed groups still orchestrate attacks. The government says there are no secret prisons i could say that there is no secret detention so we will come now he will not arise for Amnesty Organization and United Nation organization to come and check and to find out whether there is a secret Detention Center and. Out but the arrests have fueled the perception in communities like this one that the government is targeting them much like u. S. Forces used to. Weve come for friday prayer in and im in. A sunni neighborhood that for many years was an important center of anti occupation resistance.
