Catherine Ashton must resign and Martin Kobler held responsible for his collaboration with criminal regimes
We strongly condemn the brutal attack by Iraqi military this morning against the defenceless residents of Camp Ashraf. This is a crime against humanity carried out by the orders of Prime Minister Maliki at behest of the Iranian regime.
We have received reports that Iran’s commander of terrorist Quds force had ordered Maliki on 27 August to launch this attack.
The death toll of on-going massacre at Camp Ashraf reaches 52. I had personally met many of them when I led a delegation from the European Parliament to Ashraf in October 2008.
At least five of the residents were fired at in close range while they had been arrested and handcuffed. There are reports of wounded residents being executed in the camp’s clinic.
Many injured residents are in critical condition and have been taken hostage by Iraqi forces.
There were less than 100 PMOI members left in Ashraf to look over their properties. Now over half of them have been murdered today so far. Over 3100 of Ashraf residents have been forcibly moved to a prison called “Liberty” near Baghdad airport.
