His son Ziad wrote to the BRussells Tribunal. "We urge politicians, Human Rights Organisations and the media to finally take some decisive action for the release of Tareq Aziz and all other political prisoners," he said. "Human rights should be defended."
Former Iraq humanitarian aid coordinators, Denis Halliday and Hans von Sponeck, said so earlier. They addressed Aziz's deplorable situation. More on that below.
Ziad said in part:
"It has been almost 10 years since my father had been taken into custody by the American forces."
"It is also the anniversary of the assassination attempt he survived in 1980."
It killed civilian bystanders. It "was planned and executed by the same people who are ruling Iraq today, and who are planning to execute him again, slowly and this time with nobody to see."
He's imprisoned in Baghdad. He suffered his fourth stroke. He "fell on the floor in the middle of the night and was left in his cell for the whole time until morning."
"He has not been visited by a doctor, nor was he taken to the hospital, nor was he offered any medical attention of any kind since he had the stroke."
