"Mr President, for a week now, the American occupying forces have been committing an abominable crime in the city of Falluja in Iraq. They have been indiscriminately bombing homes, killing civilians and destroying the entire city. The tens of thousands of inhabitants of the city are in danger, not only from the bombings, but also from power cuts and water shortages.
The occupying forces and their collaborators are preventing the inhabitants from leaving and are giving out hardly any information about civilians, and even less about the dead.
Your counterpart, Mr Alawi, is prohibiting the names of the dead from being announced in the city of Falluja. The Red Crescent and the Red Cross are being prohibited from providing any assistance whatsoever.
This is brutality for which there is huge political responsibility both on the part of the European Union, which legalised the war, and the occupying forces, and the political groups, which approved the recent resolution on Iraq, thereby encouraging the American intervention.
The crime against the people of Iraq must stop and that will only happen if the occupying forces leave. Why do you people who talk about human rights now have nothing to say in the face of this crime?"@en1
