Participants in the Association of Religious Scholars in Britain condemn return of the Baathists and the security services consider response to American pressure, regional
22.05.07

Condemned participants at the conference held by the Association of religious scholars in Britain, the resolutions taken by the Ministries of Defense and Interior to the officers and commanders of the military and security to the ousted regime and functions, which it considered a violation of the Constitution and disregard the blood of the martyrs, and demanded Maliki government to backtrack on this decision.

His argument Islam and Muslims, Sheikh Abdul Amir Al Khafagi : As we participate in this conference to support our people in Iraq and circulation in the steps that would contribute to stop the massacres under way against the Iraqi Shiites. "find it necessary to condemn all attempts to introduce international and Arab Baathists in state institutions, especially in the area of security and intelligence, and we call on the government to reject all the pressure imposed on it, and take a brave stand for the defense of the Iraqi people and cause could materialize in foundation for the return of the Baathists, it would cause a loss of popular support Matbeki them. "

He added Sheikh Abdul-Amir Al-Khafaji : "The tyrant Saddam regime has been unable to necks of our people only through intelligence and security services and their leaders in the army, how the government to restore the Baathists to this sensitive devices
And dangerous "?

His argument Islam and Muslims Khatib Husseini Sheikh Abdul Hassan Assadi, we Ansedk happening at the level of government caving in to international pressure and regional leaders to re-Baathist army and the security services, and that this represents a retreat from the principles and promises made by the government itself to be the protector them, At the forefront of blocking any attempts to restore the Baathists to power.

He added Sheikh Assadi : that our people will hold both contribute to this project, a subsidy to enable Baathists from exercising the right to murder and chase the honor of the nation.

He called Sheikh Assadi Iraqi Alliance, take a frank condemnation of these decisions that will cause more people to the disaster, said the Iraqi Coalition and its electoral promises made by standing in front of any attempt to return back to their jobs, especially in the defense, interior and security agencies. "

He called on Iraqi political and informational Professor Azhar Khafaji, Maliki government to reconsider its position to allow the re-element security and intelligence and intelligence to security agencies in the Ministry of Interior.

He warned of the serious consequences of this decision, stressing that this resolution will build on the change in the institution seriously military and security in Iraq and enable Baathists from the joints and sensitive military security in Iraq and thus be able to launch a fierce attack against the security people.

Khafaji said in this regard : "The people were waiting for a rejection of the government to pressure the American-Malki, Saudi Arabia and other countries in the region, to restore the Baathists, and were waiting for people to approach these pressures to keep further details in this area, The surprise is that people decisions taken by the Ministry of the Interior to all elements of security and intelligence and intelligence to the security agencies who are below the age of retirement,

This is a suspicious and hostile steps pumped identity and is in the interest of the people antigen present and future. Khafaji also denounced the Saudi allied with the Baathists and sectarian politicians in Iraq and warned Saudi Arabia to continue this approach, recalling that this hard-line position from Riyadh to impose the return of the Baathists and the use of American power in Iraq, come to add another hostile attitude of our people after the Saudi stance in promoting the issuance of fatwas penance for the Shiites of Iraq and urged young Muslims to kill Iraqis allegedly Roavi.

He concluded his statement by saying Khafaji Pthadhireh Saudi government from the consequences of its political and security to circumvent the achievements of the Iraqi people in the Constitution and the political process, calling on Riyadh to return these positions and back down, before it is too late. Prior to rise wall between the Iraqi people and the Saudi regime, but reach over to a dead end, Khafaji asked the Saudi government to listen to chants emanating from citizens who hastening to places that are subjected to bombings and acts of terrorism, and condemning the Saudi position and opinions of takfiri and considers it as a reason behind the growing terrorist acts. Khafaji also asked with amazement and surprise on the empty Boca detained in Basra and Baekaya camps run the American forces symbols of the defunct regime and intelligence officers and top security agencies and terrorists Altkeverien, while filling those prisons sons trend sternum and elements of the Mahdi Army? ! Is it possible that all this time they accuse Shiites control the government in Iraq, what the rule of this participant is Maslub resolution and will accept the imposition of dictations and conditions. He added : "We stand with the government vigorously

But not when they re-Baathists to intelligence and security, as announced by Gen. Abdul Karim Khalaf recently, and not when tolerated by the government of the military operations against the American trend sternum, and shut to arrest leaders and clergy-fixed charges and allegations have not seen a single piece of evidence it, To Attahrk Alekhovernmeh view American forces left the province of Diyala and Karkh neighborhoods in the capital Baghdad, the summit Saighomenatuk Altkeverien open to terrorists and Baathists "

The many participants in the Conference of the Association of Religious Scholars in Britain on the need for political, diplomatic and media in order to save the Iraqi people, particularly the Shiites House officials attempts by the international and regional forces to restore the Baathists to power in Iraq especially in the defense, interior and security apparatuses.

Another aspect of the supreme national body to uproot the Baath statement condemning the steps taken to restore the Baathists to the intelligence and security, and came in this statement :

I have read the press statement Alheihali brigade Karim Khalaf director of the National Command Center in which he announced that the ministry had decided to re-associate of the former security apparatus including intelligence and the intelligence and security apparatus and public sectors who are fit for service, and referral is not fit to serve on retirement, in particular those who are over the legal age.

The statement added :
We would like to note that the resolution is a clear constitutional violation of Article (135) and the Council of Ministers Decision No. (130), and Order No. (2) It is a coup against the constitutional process and democracy in Iraq and what is the attempt to restore elements and henchmen of the ousted regime to the institutions that are supposed to be working on the security and safety of citizens not on tyranny and oppression (and the Ministry of Interior does not have the constitutional and legal right to issue such a decision).

While deplore this decision of the Interior Ministry, we are surprised that the ministry continued to maintain elements of the security services detailed in the previous ministry and not excluded, although they contemplated the need to exclude them and not allowing them to return to the post, which is a clear violation of the laws in force.

We refer to the illegality and legal resolution of this stress that we will not stand idly by, this trend clear breach of the Constitution and the laws in force and we will continue to address it through the legal means available.
