hostage taking

yesterday an article published in  Washington Times called on the U.S. Government to take immediate action to secure the release of a Camp Liberty resident in Iraq.
Mr. Safar Zakery,  under UN supervision has been recognized as a person of concern protected under international law. The U.S. had committed to protect him but now he has been held hostage in Iraq.
In 2004, the U.S.recognized him as ‘protected persons’ under the Fourth Geneva Convention and signed an agreement with him, committing itself to protect him until his final disposition.
In 2011, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees recognized Safar Zakery as a refugee entitled to international protection.
 the U.S. Government has  to take urgent action to fulfill America’s commitment by securing Mr. Zakery’s freedom. Otherwise he may be deported to Iran where he will face execution.

hostage taking by iranian embassy

"Illegal detention of Mr. Zakery while ignoring United Nations documents regarding his status and allowing the Iranian regime to meddle in his case as well as preventing him to undergo a scheduled surgery indicate that this is a case of planned hostage taking."
I have no doubt that it is a hostage taking by Iranian embassy in Baghdad.
How much more the Iranian resistance have to suffer.
does UNHCR doing any thing?
does us government doing anything?
the U.S. government, UNAMI and UNHCR  have repeatedly committed themselves to the wellbeing and security of the residents of camp liberty.
in front of their eyes they are taking the residence as a hostage.
why don't we see any action from us government and UNHCR.
if you can not protect the residence of camp liberty then give them back their arms to protect themselves.
enough is enough , how many times they should be attacked, how many times they should be killed , how many times they should be kidnapped ,how many times they should  die because of lack of medicine or not let them to go to hospital.
enough is enough.
they are protected person,
the U.S. government and UNHCR  have repeatedly committed themselves to the wellbeing and security of the residents of camp liberty. Where is this commitment.
