Deserter Accuses U.S. of War Crimes

Wednesday May 26, 2004 10:46 AM

BY JEREMY HAINSWORTH

Associated Press Writer

The Guardian (UK)
http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,1280,-4133950,00.html

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) - An American soldier
who deserted his Iraq-bound unit and sought asylum in
Canada said the war in Iraq was illegal and accused the
United States of committing war crimes.

Pfc. Jeremy Hinzman, 25, defended his decision to leave
his unit with the 82nd Airborne Division on Jan. 2,
about two weeks after he learned his unit would be
deployed to Iraq. He fled to Toronto with his wife and
child.

He is believed to be the first U.S. soldier to apply
for refugee status in Canada after refusing combat duty
in Iraq.

``The Iraqi war is illegal according to international
standards. It was condemned by most the international
community,'' Hinzman said Tuesday in a speech sponsored
by an anti-war group and an Arab advocacy group. ``If I
had participated in the Iraq occupation, I would have
participated in a criminal enterprise.''

A spokeswoman for the Fort Bragg, N.C.-based 82nd
Airborne Division has said Hinzman could be arrested,
but that the Army would not pursue him.

Hinzman served three years in the Army prior to
January. He had applied for conscientious objector
status before his unit was sent to Afghanistan in 2002,
but the Army told him it had lost his application.

The Canadian Immigration and Refugee Board is to start
hearings in July on Hinzman's case.

Last week, a U.S. soldier who refused to return to his
Florida National Guard unit after a two-week furlough
last October was sentenced to a year in prison for
deserting his unit in Iraq.

Staff Sgt. Camilo Mejia had said that he disobeyed
orders to return to his unit because his war
experiences in Iraq made him decide to seek status as a
conscientious objector. He later turned himself over to
the Army.
