In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
The phenomenon of siege that has set in many areas of Baghdad and governorates the last of which the blockade which was imposed on al-Sadr City under the allegation of "elimination of outlaws" while it is per se a violation of the law the government has committed itself to it to protect people and defend the innocent. While it is no secret what the blockade brings about of negative impacts laying waste of everything and everybody, hence in besieged areas there are women and children, elders and patients, and all innocent classes that have nothing to do with the doings of people being hunted by the security forces.
The CINU stresses that the government should pursue an alternative policy in achieving security rather than the course of terrorizing peaceful people, and also demands the government to compensate the people of cities against moral and material damage for their suffering and to rehabilitate them, in fulfillment of its own promise as proclaimed in its political and security scheme.
