Dear: Sirs/ Madams
We have gathered a substantial evidence to charge the criminal Nezar al-Khazraji, the former Iraqi Army Chief Command who is currently living in Denmark, for crimes against humanity. Al-Khaztaji was the head of the Iraqi army during the infamous campaign of Anfal between February and September 1988. Anfal is the code name of a series of attacks on the Kurdish people in the villages of Iraqi Kurdistan (Northern Iraq). These attacks resulted in the disappearance of 182000 men, women, and children and the destruction of more than 2500 villages and looting of all the villagers’ belongings. Iraq had used all its military power including a wide use of chemical weapons, which resulted in the killing of more than 6000 and maiming thousands more during these attacks.
The evidence that prove beyond any doubt the involvement of al-Khazraji in these crimes include documents, testimonies of witnesses, authentic video and audiocassette, national gazettes and other publications. Human Rights Watch has also mentioned the involvement of al-Khazraji during Anfal in their report, Genocide in Iraq, The Anfal Campaign against the Kurds. The gathered evidence leaves no shadow of doubt about the involvement of al-Khazraji in planning, implementation and follow up measures of the crime of Anfal. His involvement in these crimes against humanity resulted in the disappearance of 182000 innocent people.
We are asking you to help us in bringing this criminal to justice. What we are seeking is what you advocate for in your efforts to promote human rights, democracy and justice. We believe that your constitution has clearly pointed out that such huge crimes against humanity must not go unpunished. We have submitted our evidence to the Justice department in Denmark and they, thankfully, are investigating the case.
United States of America is now more eager than any other time to end the brutal regime in Iraq and help establishing a government that protect human rights and promote democracy. All the minorities and citizens of Iraq must live in peace and harmony. We believe that this can not be achieved under the leadership of al-Khazraji, who has been brought up by Saddam’s regime and committed so many crimes against humanity both in the north and the south of Iraq.
Looking Forward to hearing from you
Warm regards
Yours faithfully
