The refugees, camps
Detention camp for immigrants and war-stricken civilians war casualties.
With the outbreak of a war, some are forced to migrate from their hometowns to other towns or cities of the same country, some emigrate to foreign countries, and some start wandering around till they can be settled somewhere by some organization. It is possible to mention the camps and settlements at border posts such as Ramadi, Mosul, Tanumeh, Al-Amara, and Al-Tash.
Remadi camp
This camp was the place to settle Iranian Kurdish families who were refugees, homeless and had been taken into captivity at the beginning of the war. This camp held near 600 people and by the end of the war some of them returned to Iran, some went abroad and some stayed in that camp until 2003 when the united states of America attacked Iraq. After the collapse of the Baath regime, the refugees were again dispersed in the Kurdish areas of Iraq and some returned to Iran.[1] (www.salas-pic.ir)
Mousel camp
In this camp, family members and ordinary civilians who had got arrested in besieged cities or roads, as well as captives of border residents and people who were sold to the Iraqis in exchange for a sack of sugar, onions, potatoes, vegetables, and even beasts of burden such as donkeys, were kept along with prisoners of war. In Mousel 3, there were also thirty people from the non-Islamic sect of the west of the country, who were not prisoners of war[2][3]. At the beginning of the war, Iraq collected them from the border of Kurdistan and introduced them as prisoners. Likewise, residents of border villages and towns, most of whom were old and sometimes father and son, were kept together in the camp. In Mousel 1, ordinary people, young and old, men and women, and children from border towns and villages, and there were also some smugglers, thugs and louts who had got arrested or taken refuge to that camp[4][5]. In order to increase the number of prisoners, Iraq had persistently included them in the list of prisoners of war made by the Red Cross.[6]
Tanome border post
Tenome post was Twenty kilometers away from Basra and in fact it was a small town between Shalamche and Basra and there was a garrison over there. Many civilian and militants were imprisoned there together; with cells barely roomy enough to hold many captives, like the old saying there wasn`t enough room for swinging a cat[7]. A lot of common people were tortured, disappeared, or died martyrs The Iraqis lay in ambush on the Khorramshahr-Sosangard or Mahshahr-Abadan roads, and after taking civilians into captivity transported them to the Tanumeh border post.[7]
Al-Emareh camp
Civilian prisoners of war were also kept in Al-Amara military camp. Al-Amara had three buildings and each had two floors. Officers were housed in one of the buildings and ordinary prisoners were housed in the other two.
Eltash People's Camp
Eltash Camp was established in 1359(1980) in a barren desert, located 40 km from Ramadi city. The people living in this camp were the Iranian Kurds who had been taken into captivity or had taken refuge before Iraq's invasion on Kuwait. These captive families lived hard in a large plot enclosed in self-made clay and tin sheds or in tents. They had to earn their own living[8] . The lack of sanitary facilities was one of the many problems of this camp. People living in these camps were allowed to leave the camp during the day to make a living, go to the city of Ramadi to work and return at night. The Iraqis allowed the men whose families lived in the camps to leav[8]e, for their families were held as hostages, and they had to return to the camp for their sake With the beginning of the imposed war, a number of refugees from the border villages of Salas Babajani in Iran, who did not manage to escape, were moved to the border camps in Iraq, which were under the supervision of the International Red Cross.
Al-Rashid prison
In this Iraqi security and political prison, there were also Iranian civilians and common refugees kept as prisoners.
