The reason for the popularity of this camp was the propaganda maneuver and how Iraqis could take political advantages of the very young captives present in this camp.

	This camp was one of the most loyal ones to the Islamic Revolution. The first group of people in this camp were some of the prisoners of the preliminary Wal-Fajr , Fath –ol--Mobin and Beit-ol-Moghaddas operations. In 1984, about 400 prisoners of the Kheybar operation, who were the Islamic militia fighters, were transferred to this camp. After that, on June 22<sup>nd</sup> 1986, with the transfer of the prisoners of the Badr operation, who were mostly guards and members of the Islamic militia, a harmoniously religious atmosphere came over the camp. The prisoners of the two Ghates of this camp decided that by going to the Holy Shrines which was instigated by Sadam, they would enable the enemy to take advantage of them in terms of political propaganda, and thus refused to do that. In response to this action, the Baathists did not sit by and in order to disrupt the organization and coordination of the prisoners, they transferred 50 of captives to camp 6 and more than 100 people to Ramadi camp 13; This transfer, due to the high experience of the transferred prisoners, became the source of good events in these camps, especially in camps 6 and 13 <ref name=":0">Khob Nejad, Fariborz (2018). interview .

	Initially, the oldest people were supposed to be in that camp, but the Iraqi policy changed and they decided to transfer the teenage prisoners to this part for propaganda and political exploitation. Therefore, most of the prisoners of this camp, which was known as the children's camp among Iraqis, consisted of teen-agers. This issue overshadowed many things. The Iraqis believed as these captives were just at a tender age, they were more disposed to be brainwashed than others. <ref>Hassanzadeh, Mahmoud (1388). until the morning of liberation Tabriz: The Center for Preservation of the Works of the 31st Ashura Division, p.53.</ref> So they tried to attract Iranian teenage prisoners with various tricks and for this purpose, they put a variety of plans into effect.

They separated the prisoners under the age of 20 and set up a camp for them which became known as Children's Camp.

=== Introduction ===
Ramadi 2 or Camp 7 is one of the best-known camps in Iraq. The reason for the popularity of this camp was the propaganda maneuver and how Iraqis could take political advantages of the very young captives present in this [[Camp|camp.]]

This camp was one of the most loyal ones to the Islamic Revolution. The first group of people in this camp were some of the prisoners of the preliminary Wal-Fajr , Fath –ol--Mobin and Beit-ol-Moghaddas operations. In 1984, about 400 prisoners of the Kheybar operation, who were the Islamic militia fighters, were transferred to this camp. After that, on June 22<sup>nd</sup> 1986, with the transfer of the prisoners of the Badr operation, who were mostly guards and members of the Islamic militia, a harmoniously religious atmosphere came over the camp. The prisoners of the two Ghates of this camp decided that by going to the Holy Shrines which was instigated by Sadam, they would enable the enemy to take advantage of them in terms of political propaganda, and thus refused to do that. In response to this action, the Baathists did not sit by and in order to disrupt the organization and coordination of the prisoners, they transferred 50 of captives to camp 6 and more than 100 people to Ramadi camp 13; This transfer, due to the high experience of the transferred prisoners, became the source of good events in these camps, especially in camps 6 and 13 <ref name=":0">Khob Nejad, Fariborz (2018). interview .

=== Geographical and architectural characteristics ===
Ramadi camp 2 was set up in the spring of 1983. When the prisoners arrived, the 1st and 2nd Ghates were already built, and the Iraqis were building the 3rd and 4th Ghates. The camp did not have a kitchen and food was brought from Anbar camp. After some time, a kitchen was built between Ghates 3 and 4 in the yard. About 400 juvenile prisoners of the Kheybar operation were transferred to the 2nd Ghate of this camp. In April 1986, most of the prisoners of camp 9 were transferred to the Ghates 2 and 4 of this camp. The commander headquarters of Ramadi camps was in the building facing Ramadi 2.

This camp had four Ghates or blocs. Each bloc had eight sanatoriums with dimensions of nearly 15 x 5 meters, and the dimensions of its courtyard were nearly 70 x 40 meters. A ring of barbed wire with a width of nearly 20 meters and a height of 2 meters surrounded all the four blocs. Each bloc had nine toilets and a public bathroom approximately 3 x 4 meters with a maximum of 4 showers. The buildings had two floors and each floor had four sanatoriums. One of the problems of the camp was that it was exposed to sand and dust storms that sometimes penetrated through the windows, and the windows had to be covered with blankets or sheets. Ramadi 2 was shut down in 1990. The prisoners of this camp were registered by the Red Cross.
