ElNahhas - Firenze, May 21st 2017.
Since its ratification in 1929/31, the “Treatment Of Prisoners Of War”, known
as the “Geneva Convention”, prevailed
in defending the
rights of those unfortunate soldiers, or civilians, caught in the custody of
their adversaries in any belligerent conflict between two or more nations.
Whereas article
81 states that “…individuals who follow
the armed forces without
directly belonging thereto, who fall into the enemy's hands and whom the latter
think expedient to detain, shall be entitled to be treated as prisoners of war”. This provision covered military
support contractors, civilian
war correspondents, sutlers, etc.
Yet, at
the distance of 86 years, things have drastically changed.. POWs are no longer
considered, or treated, as such; but simply and solely they are TERRORISTS, of
whom and with whom anything goes.. Torture.. Humiliation.. Rape.. Have all
become integrant chapters from the new book of “Enhanced Interrogation Techniques”! Today studied, tutored and
trained all over the world!
Just consider
the scandalous cases of Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib; where those ‘techniques’ are
used, not to get from the prisoners information (already
by itself an unacceptable practice) yet may help saving the lives of compatriots; but
simply to humiliate the enemy, with no other reason.
Emergency Response Division (ERD) commonly nicknamed “Dirty Brigades” is a special Anti-Terrorism
Task Force especially chosen from the ranks of Baghdad Army, and highly trained
on modern Interrogations Techniques by American and Italian “Consultants”!
Here is how they operate.. As the battle for Mosul is
still roaring, ERD operatives exercise their own developed versions of the “Enhanced Interrogation Techniques” they
have learned on Mehdi Mahmud, a civilian from a small village that was under
DAESH till recently, whom they suspect being DAESH (ISIL) collaborators!
