Individual and collective resistance of prisoners
The individual and collective resistance of prisoners during captivity in Iraqi camps is divided into individual resistance and collective resistance, which are discussed below:
Individual resistance
In some stages or scenes, resistance was done individually. This example of resistance can be seen more during the course of captivity and at the beginning of the camp period, when the prisoners were still in anxiety, unfamiliarity with each other and the requirements of time and place. In this direction, some devoted and sincere people rise up to confront and protest against the atmosphere of pressure. These people might have risked their lives with this behavior.
Collective resistance
In the continuation of the period of captivity and after the captives gained a better understanding of the situation of captivity, the character of their companions and the works of resistance, this example of resistance is seen more. Protests of several people, ethnic groups, barracks, sections, and camps are of this kind, which in general raised the general level of resistance and influence of prisoners; For example, the evolution of resistance and cohesion along with the increase of awareness in the 12th camp of Tikrit, which consisted of three sections with about thirty halls and about 4000 people, reached a point where at the beginning of Ramadan 1369, it was planned to remove the anti-Imam slogan. and everyone in the camp refrained from that slogan and endured several days of imprisonment and finally forced the enemy to surrender. Struggles and resistance during the period of captivity deepened and broadened the horizon of the captives and made them watered and capable to be present in difficult scenes. These precious experiences can be used forever by all fighters and those interested in dignity and independence.[1][2]
