Obstructing entry of basic needs and contractors to Camp Liberty for imperative repairs

On Wednesday, October 21, 2015, Major Ahmed Khozair, an agent from the Governmental Committee tasked to suppress Camp Liberty residents, once again in the recent weeks, prevented entry of residents’ basic needs, supplies, and items needed for maintenance and repair of camp’s infrastructures, etc returning them from camp’s gate.
These suppressive measures and returning of items bought by residents are implemented under the supervision of Iraqi National Security Advisor Faleh Fayyad.
The returned items include ordinary cloth, stationary, electric cables, water pumps, ventilators, water pressure container, hose and physical exercise equipment.

Concurrently, agents of the Committee prevented an Iraqi contractor from coming to the camp despite the fact that his visit had been coordinated with UNAMI and Iraqi officers. It is over two years now that the suppressive committee prevents contractors from coming to the camp for the repair of air-conditioning systems and camp’s worn out infrastructures. This measure is egregious breach of the Memorandum of Understanding signed between Government of Iraq and UNAMI on December 25, 2011 according to which contractors may sign contracts for refurbishment and repair jobs in the camp. This issue has been raised numerously with UNAMI, but no effective measures have been taken.
