Invitation
We are glad for your participation and solidarity with us in
the demonstration carried out by our (Hammurabi Organization for Human Rights)
about the killing of Iraqi Christians in Mosul because of identity. For more than a
month a series of killing is continuing against Iraqi Christians at the center
of Mosul and has escalated during the past few days, to repeat the scenes of
blood and murder because of identity that preceded the provincial elections in
September and October 2008.
Within the last week, a number of Mosul University's students and owners of shops and markets in different districts of Mosul has been killed and all of them are Christians of the indigenous people of Mosul. Which made Christian families abandoned the city to the other sites more secure and the estimates of Hammurabi Organization indicates the arrival of number of families displaced by recent events up to 200 families to areas of the Nineveh Plain. They are taken monasteries, churches as a shelter for them. More than 1500 Christian students stopped going to colleges and institutes in Mosul because they have received a vague threats to target them.
The
objectives of our demonstration is Urging the government, the federal and local
executive authorities to bear the constitutional and legal responsibilities to
protect its people in general and Christians in particular and immediate
intervention to resolve the plight of Christians in Mosul and stop the wave of
killings and bloodshed on the identity at Nineveh. In addition to finding
solutions to the problem of Christian students at Mosul University, colleges
and scientific institutions in it.
Your attendance and participation with us contribute to
strengthening the role of organizations of civil society in promoting human
rights enforcement in general, and the protection of the rights of minorities
and persons belonging to religious, cultural, linguistic and ethnic minorities.
Also participating will also promote a
message of non-governmental organizations in the defense of the principles of
human rights of individuals or peoples.
