Iraqi guards torture Camp Liberty residents with loudspeakers

                     
Iranian dissidents in Camp Liberty have staged a protest at psychological torture by Iraqi guards who are broadcasting sound into the camp through giant loudspeakers.
One camp resident told the Al-Jazeera news channel on Wednesday: "We are protesting today the sound torture of Camp Liberty by Iraqi intelligence agents. For 45 days, agents of the Iranian regime that were stationed here during the previous Iraqi government have began torturing residents by broadcasting sound into the camp, closest to where the sick are housed."
He recalled that the Iranian regime also tortured residents with broadcasting sound into Camp Ashraf with 320 loudspeakers. Many of the Camp Liberty broadcasts were the Iranian regime's dirges in Farsi and Arabic, he said.
The report by Al-Jazeera showed speakers mounted on poles directed at the residents' housing units, and residents holding protesting at the broadcasts.
All the loudspeakers are set up in the camp’s police station and their sound waves are concentrated towards the resident's living quarters. This psychological torture is most tormenting to patients in Section One of the camp, where many are deprived of sleep and rest.
The implementation of this psychological torture, in addition to violating many international conventions, including the Convention Against Torture, is a flagrant violation of the Memorandum of Understanding signed between Government of Iraq and the United Nations on 25 December 2011.
