Allegations concerning the lack or insufficiency of investigations carried out into the
1 September 2013 attack on Camp New Iraq, and previous attacks on Camp New Iraq,
and later Camp Liberty. According to the information received, no information is
available concerning the proceedings and results of the investigations of the police
committee into the 1 September 2013 attack on Camp New Iraq. Also, none of the
perpetrators of this attack have been identified and brought to justice. There is no
available information concerning the whereabouts of the seven residents that were
allegedly abducted during this attack: Ms. Mahnaz Azizi, Ms. Vajihe Karbalaey, Ms.
Fatehma Sakhie, Ms. Fatemah Tahoori, Ms. Lila Nabahat, Ms. Zahra Ramezany, and
Mr. Mohammad Ratebi. No investigations appear to have been carried out in
connection with the attacks of 28-29 July 2009, 8 April 2011, 9 February 2013 and 26
December 2013 against the residents of Camp New Iraq, nor have the perpetrators
been brought to justice. Concern is raised about the vulnerability of its residents to
further attacks, especially in the context of the recent upsurge in fighting in the
country. The attacks of 28-29 July 2009 were the subject of a previous communication
sent on 1 October 2009, see A/HRC/14/20/Add.1, para 150. The 28-29 July 2009 and
the 8 April 2011 attacks on Camp New Iraq were the subject of another
communication sent on 15 April 2011, see A/HRC/18/51, case no. IRQ 1/2011. The 8
April 2011 attack was the subject of a further communication sent on 9 May 2011, see
A/HRC/18/51, case no. IRQ 3/2011. The 1 September 2013 assault against the
residents of Camp New Iraq was the subject of a communication sent on 11
September 2013, see A/HRC/25/74, case no. IRQ 4/2013.
