Iraqi lawmakers have called for an official investigation into allegations of a secret prison, warning of potential human rights violations. The reports, which remain unconfirmed, suggest inmates are held without trial. The government has not yet responded.
Iraqi lawmakers have demanded a formal investigation into allegations concerning the existence of a secret prison. The request comes amid unconfirmed reports suggesting an undisclosed detention facility where inmates are held without trial or legal proceedings.
According to the lawmakers, such a facility would constitute a serious violation of international human rights standards and Iraqi law. They emphasized the need for transparency and accountability from the government. Some legislators have proposed establishing a special investigative committee to clarify the matter.
There has been no official response from the Iraqi government to these allegations. However, human rights activists have expressed concern that if the information is confirmed, it would be further evidence of abuse of power within the country’s judicial and security systems.
