Human Rights Investigator: Troops Starving Iraqis a violation of International Law
from the BBC
“A drama is taking place in total silence in Iraq, where the coalition’s occupying forces are using hunger and deprivation of water as a weapon of war against the civilian population,” Mr Ziegler told a press conference in Geneva.
He said coalition forces were using “starvation of civilians as a method of warfare.”
“This is a flagrant violation of international law.”
And if you don’t want to believe him, you don’t have to.
A US military spokesman in Baghdad denied the allegations.
