The Iranian Resistance has warned of another attack on Camp Liberty and demanded that the population be returned to Ashraf and the UN’s envoy to the region be sacked.
The resistance movement issued the alert at a conference in Paris to mark International Women’s Day, where resistance leader Maryam Rajavi spoke of the imminent danger posed to Liberty residents by the Iranian regime and terrorist forces loyal to Iraq.
Mrs Rajavi told political, social and cultural women dignitaries from 40 countries: “Over 3,000 Ashraf residents, after a mandatory relocation, are once again facing the threat of a humane catastrophe in Liberty Prison.
“The United Nations, and especially the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, despite their catastrophic irresponsible approach towards the February 9th massacre, continue to take the side of the mullah’s puppet government in Iraq.
“This is while currently the issue of Liberty residents’ security has remained unattended to and they have taken no action so far.”
Warning for another missile and mortar attack to Camp Liberty
At the conference the Iranian Resistance issued its starkest warning yet of intelligence that the mullahs’ regime was planning another missile and mortar attack aimed at murdering Liberty residents.
It said the attack would be ordered by Iran’s extremist clerics and carried out by forces under the command of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki.
The most recent missile attack on Liberty on February 9 which
left seven dead and more than 100 wounded was also out on Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s orders in coordination with the Government of Iraq, the Resistance said.
Other speakers at the conference also united to condemn the attack and called on the international community to immediately return Camp Liberty residents to Ashraf.
They also urged the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon to sack his Special Representative Martin Kobler – who they said was guilty of the February 9 massacre – and appoint an ‘impartial and competent envoy’ in his place.
Islamic extremism seriously threatens democratic movement in the region
Delegates also stressed that whilst the Arab Spring had created sweeping changes across parts of the Middle East and North Africa, Islamic extremism and its inbred suppression of women’s rights still seriously threatened the democratic movement in the region.
The Iranian Resistance’s struggle to confront and topple Iran’s ruling theocracy was also widely praised at the conference.
The conference was attended by women activists from countries from all over Europe, the US, Canada, and Islamic nations including Egypt, Tunisia, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Afghanistan, Jordan, Palestine, Mauritania, Morocco, Algeria and Iraq.
Among the delegates were: Mrs Rita Süssmuth (former Speaker of the German Bundestag), Michèle Alliot-Marie, (former French Minister of Defense, Foreign Affairs, Justice, and Interior), Ingrid Betancourt (former Colombian presidential candidate and former hostage), Frances Townsend (former Homeland Security Advisor to the US President), Linda Chavez (former White House Director of Public Liaison), Tasha de Vasconcelos (European Union Humanitarian Ambassador), Aude de Thuin, (founder of the International Women’s Forum), Cynthia Fleury (French philosopher), and also parliamentary delegations from Italy, Spain, Belgium, the European Parliament, Denmark, Egypt, Jordan, Palestine and Poland.
