Interview with Rania Masri, director of the Southern Peace Research, Institute for Southern Studies, conducted by Between the Lines' Melinda Tuhus <!--break--> The Status of Iraqi Women Deteriorates Under U.S. Occupation Interview with Rania Masri, director of the Southern Peace Research, Institute for Southern Studies, conducted by Melinda Tuhus One month before the symbolic transfer of sovereignty in Iraq, Chief U.S. Administrator Paul Bremer, along with U.N. envoy Lakhdar Brahimi and the Iraqi Governing Council, named a new prime minister and president of an interim government who will lead until elections next year. The appointment of Iyad Allawi as Iraq's next prime minister has many observers questioning his acceptability among the Iraqi people, as the exile leader was formerly associated with Saddam Hussein's spy agency and is now linked to the CIA. The process of filling the mostly ceremonial post of president revealed serious conflicts between members of the Governing Council and Washington. But as combat continues between U.S. occupation forces and resistance fighters in Iraq, the plight of Iraqi women is largely ignored. They are rarely if ever seen in western video footage of the war. But the U.S.-run Coalition Provisional Authority cites as one of their biggest accomplishments the liberation of Iraqi women from the "rape rooms" in use under Saddam Hussein's regime. The Bush administration also touts what they claim will be greater opportunities for women in future political participation under a new Iraqi constitution. Between The Lines' Melinda Tuhus spoke with Rania Masri, director of the Southern Peace Research and Education Center at the Institute for Southern Studies in Durham, N.C. Since the U.N.-U.S. sanctions were put in place in 1990 before the first Persian Gulf War, Masri has been active in supporting the people of Iraq during their humanitarian and political crises. She is part of a team that produced a just-released feature film called "About Baghdad." She discusses the status of women under Saddam, during the sanctions, and in the current period under U.S. occupation.
