Justice for Dhafir

In direct response to the brutal U.S. embargo and effects of depleted uranium on the country of Iraq, Dr. Rafil Dhafir, an oncologist, a man of Iraqi descent, Muslim faith, and a U.S. citizen for almost 30 years, founded the charity Help the Needy (HTN). According to the UN statistics more than 5,000 children under the age of five were dying every month from preventable illnesses throughout the embargo. This is a total of more than half a million children, and if children over five and adults are added the number rises to more than one and a half million preventable deaths. (For more information about Iraq under sanctions, go to: voicesinthewilderness.org) In the 13 years before his arrest Dr. Dhafir and HTN got more aid to sick and starving Iraqi civilians than all the other aid agencies put together. Because of this humanitarian work he was arrested in February 2003, held without bail for 31 months and then sentenced to 22 years in prison.
