NCRI – Iraqi tribal leaders and members of Parliament continue to denounce a recent attack on Camp Ashraf, home to several thousand Iranian political dissidents, in Iraq.
On Sunday, an Iraqi member of Parliament pointed to the January 7 attack on Camp Ashraf, saying that the Iranian regime has provoked the hatred of people in Diyala province against itself.
He said Iranian regime intelligence agents and proxies are trying to “contaminate” the province’s political climate, and called on provincial officials and residents to expose the regime’s sinister activities.
Camp Ashraf, home to 3,400 members of the main Iranian opposition People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), was attacked on January 7 by regime agents and forces commanded by the Iraqi prime minister’s office.
According to the Iraq for All news agency, tribes in most Iraqi provinces have strongly lambasted agents who betray their country by enlisting on the Iranian regime’s payroll. The paid agents are directed by the regime’s embassy in Baghdad. According to the agency, the tribes warned about the negative consequences of these “despicable” measures.
The news agency said one of the tribal leaders, Sheikh Ali Fars al-Doleimi, voiced concern and warned the regime about its meddling in Iraq. He added, “Ashraf residents are supported by the United Nations.”
Sheikh Feysal Houm al-Nadawi of the Neda tribe said, “The meddling of the regime’s embassy in Iraq’s domestic affairs is dangerous. Those who perpetrated the January 7 attack against Camp Ashraf are traitors and agents.”
Sheikh Sabar Abdolaziz Sakar of the Jabour tribes in southern Iraq sent a message to tribes in Diyala, where Ashraf is located, saying that silence is no longer an option when it comes to the regime’s insults and lies about the province.
“I urge you to stop thugs organized by the Iranian regime’s embassy against Ashraf and to expel those who have ties to the Iranian regime from your province,” he told tribal leaders in Diyala.
