Dozens of supporters and families of Iranian opposition in Iraq began an open-ended sit-in yesterday in Geneva. They asked the International Committee of Red Cress (ICRC) to intervene to prevent the transfer of 3,500 Iranian dissidents, threatened with expulsion. "The sit-in is held outside the UN's European Headquarters, Place des Nations, and will last as long as necessary, "said a spokesman of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI).The participants call on the ICRC to ask the Multi-National Force-Iraq(MNF-I) to continue the protection of Ashraf (residents of the dissidents) to avoid a "humanitarian catastrophe" and insist on the need to respect the International Humanitarian Law, the International Law and the principle of non-refoulement. Last Wednesday, hundreds of supporters of Iranian dissidents in Iraq had already demonstrated in Geneva against the threat posed by Baghdad authorities to expel them under pressure from Tehran. One delegation was received at the headquarters of the ICRC. When questioned, a spokeswoman for the ICRC said that the organization "is in contact with the authorities and is in contact with all parties concerned." The Iranian dissents have the protection of the multinational force since May 2003. [ More Detail ]
Nice to see some new inventions in the Campashraf...electrical cars run by the energy of the sun!! WOW...in the midle of an Oasis and under sanctions from the pro Iranian factions of the Iraqi government!! also while being attacked by Iranian missiles!! [ More Detail ]
Despite retributions inflicted on Ahsraf city by pro Iranian factions in the Iraqi government: The blowing up of their water pump, the prohibiting electricity and food supplies to the city, and attacking the inhabitants with at least 3 missile attacks arranged by Iranians through their proxies...Spirits are high! There are inventors in that city with much ability to create effective and efficient necessities that would make the camp totally independent from the outside. The young inventors have made a car that works with a battery rechargeable by using sun shields extracting energy from the sun....It is such amazing event in the midst of an ongoing war in that region. The ashraf camp is where 3500 PMOI members are on the verge of facing a catastrophic humanitarian genocide. It has been at least 2 years that Iranian proxies and paid pro Iranian elements working in Iraqi governments have been trying to eliminate, expatriate or kill these activists. They are now considered protected persons under the 4th Geneva Convention, and have been asylum remaining independent through out the years they had sought refuge in Iraq..Their rights have been taken away from them, only because they pose a main threat to the Iranian regime and have been the "carrots" to all unconventional agreements in the political scene. Most of these members have already been victims of Iranian terrorism, their families facing pressure and reprisals in Iran.The Iranian Intelligence Ministry's Agents and Front Organizations Abroad [ More Detail ]
http://ncr-iran.org/content/view/5530/1/Since 2003,While Tehran's terrorist campaign in Iraq has been widely reported, little has been written about its concerted efforts to eliminate its principal opposition, the People's Mujahedin Organization (MEK/PMOI), which is based in Iraq. In recent months, Tehran has tried to exploit the complicated negotiations between the United States and Iraqi government over the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA), to advance its strategic aims, including the elimination of the 3,500 MEK members in Camp Ashraf in Iraq.Who is the MEK and why does Tehran think now is the time to eliminate it — something it has failed to accomplish for nearly three decades?Established in 1965 in opposition to the Shah, all of the MEK's founders were arrested by the Shah's secret police in 1971-72 and most executed. Following the 1979 revolution, the MEK became Iran's largest political party, with hundreds of thousands of followers across Iran.http://ncr-iran.org/content/view/5530/1/ [ More Detail ]
