On this day 37 years ago, the defenselsss people of Halabja, were hit by chemical bombs which had been produced with the technical and technological assistance of the US and some European countries. Tens of thousands of innocents died or sustained permanent injuries in this heinous war crime. Iranians, especially the people of Sardasht and many Iranian military personnel and civilians, who were attacked during the 8-year imposed war with chemical weapons by Saddam's regime, deeply understand the pain and suffering of the people of Halabja. "Truth" and "justice" are the legitimate and permanent demands of the loved ones of those who fell victim to the former Iraqi regime's chemical weapons. The passage of time cannot lessen the ugliness of this crime, nor can it diminish the demand for "truth and justice". As long as the European countries, involved in supplying and developing Iraq's chemical weapons program, avoid telling the "truth" and accepting their responsibility, their claims to respect human rights and the rule of law will remain pointless.
