NCRI, November 18 – The following is a statement by the
Friends of a Free Iran, a Euro parliamentary group, released today:
The unveiling of A secret torture and murder center in Baghdad, managed
by the Badr militia within the Iraqi Interior Ministry, fully confirms
repeated first hand complaints handed by several Iraqi civil society
organizations and citizens to the Friends of a Free Iran mission to
Iraq last July.
The Badr brigades, along with other terrorist militia groups, such as Hezbollah, were created in Iran by Iranian authorities.
As it was publicly revealed by Time Magazine (August, 22, 2005 vol 166
n° 8) Badr brigades and Iranian revolutionary guards followed closely
the Allied Forces occupying Iraq and took hold of several Iraqi centres
of power mainly in Shiite dominated areas. Their interference and
control of political and civil life in Iraq has been steadily growing
ever since, even organising death squads to eliminate all those who
could constitute an obstacle to the expansionist fanatic aims of the
Iranian regime in Iraq.
Friends of a Free Iran give their solidarity to the Iraqi victims of
these executions and ask for the Allied Forces to ensure better
protection of the Iraqi people. Only a very strong presence of
independent international observers - namely European and national
parliamentarians - can give some credibility to the forthcoming Iraqi
elections of December.
We therefore invite Parliaments and Governments in Europe to take this matter very seriously.
