DemocracyNow.org - Yanar Mohammed, president of the Organization of Women\'s Freedom in Iraq, is interviewed on Democracy Now! about the impact of the nearly nine-year long U.S. occupation, particularly on Iraqi women. \"The Iraqi cities are now much more destroyed than they were five years ago,\" Mohammed says. \"At the same time, we have turned to a society of 99 percent poor and 1 percent rich due to the policies that were imposed in Iraq.\" Moahmmed decries the repression of Iraqi protesters that joined the Arab Spring in a February 25th action. \"The women are the biggest losers in all of this. We went to the Iraqi squares, we demonstrated, but got oppressed in ways that are new to Iraqi people. Anti-riot police of the American style was something that we witnessed there ... This is not a democratic country.\" [More] [Less]
