Two former UN humanitarian coordinators for IRAQ appeal again for the release of former deputy prime minister of Iraq Tariq Aziz· Denis Halliday (Former UN Assistant Secretary General & United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator for Iraq 1997-98 - Ireland) ·
· Hans von Sponeck (Former UN Assistant Secretary General & United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator for Iraq 1998-2000 - Germany)
As two former UN humanitarian coordinators for Iraq, we repeat the appeal we made last year to the US government for the release of Tariq Aziz, former deputy prime minister of Iraq.
Tariq Aziz has been imprisoned for the past three and a half years without charge. During this period his fundamental rights under international law have been disregarded, as in the case of other prisoners of war (POWs) and political prisoners in Iraq. We renew our appeal for Tariq Aziz because of his poor and deteriorating health and the resulting danger to his life.

The BRussells Tribunal supports the above appeal of Denis Halliday and Hans von Sponeck and renews its call for the immediate release of all political prisoners in Iraq, whether held by US or Iraqi authorities — in particular those held, charged or convicted by the occupation’s illegal courts, including the so-called Iraqi Special Tribunal or Iraqi Higher Criminal Court.
