My son Nazar who is 37 years old has been working with an American military unit in Baghdad as a contractor since the end of the war and was always very friendly and much loved by this group. On the morning of the 29th of March, 2004, he was shot by an American soldier. The facts about the incidence and the circumstances under which it happened have never been explained to us by anybody, he was operated at the site and on the same evening was transferred to the American military hospital in the green zone [31st CSH] where he had many operations and many complications during his stay there including one major catastrophe in a leading Iraqi hospital in the capital to which he was sent from the American one for a dialysis which was a complete failure and resulted in a very severe brain damage contributing terribly to his now very serious condition. He was discharged from the American hospital after about five weeks still in an extremely serious condition when we had to take him because of our terrible experience with the local government hospital to a private clinic, he is in a fairly advanced vegetative state, breathing through a tracheotomy, fed by a naso-gastric tube and urinates through a catheter and has to be watched twenty four hourly, his nutritional requirements and his drugs are brought from outside this country, because they are very specific and are not available here. All this with the costs of his hospitalization, his nursing care and his physiotherapeutic regime are costing a fortune, we are not rich and I have not been doing any work all these last weeks of the tragedy but we are being supported by some of our relatives and friends and waiting and hoping for a miracle.
