AMSI Net Special - The American occupation forces, Iraqi guard forces and internal ministry forces have arrested nearly 100 civilians in Sayyidiyah district during the raid campaign which took place on Wednesday and Thursday.

Eyewitnesses confirmed that the occupation forces, the government Guards (Muthanna Brigade) and the Interior commandos launched a campaign of arrests including Sayyidiyah neighborhood areas. These forces indiscriminately arrested the people just questioning.

It is noteworthy that Sayyidiyah neighborhood suffer from the government guard forces and so-called Muthanna Brigade forces which is based in Abu Ghraib. These are also operating in Sayyidiyah district because of their irresponsibility and biased attitudes towards the citizens.

The people of the region demanded humanitarian and international organizations to intervene to the unjust arrest campaign to release the detainees.

Previously the responsible person of Human Rights had announced that the occupation forces prisons hold huge numbers of Iraqi detainees exceeding 70 thousand people.
