NCRI – Iraqi committee chaired by Faleh Fayyad intensifies siege and inhumane pressures against the residents of Camp Liberty located near Baghdad international airport that houses Iranian opposition members.
On Monday August 10, for the fourth day, Iraqi forces prevented the entry of basic living needs and logistical items to Liberty and returned those items.
Also earlier on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday August 4,5 and 9 respectively, the entry of these items were prevented, but repeated calls by the residents and their representatives in this regard to UNAMI, have gone nowhere.
Some of these items, all purchased by residents, include: napkins, notebooks, pens, paper, textiles and clothing for women, nylon for dining tables, pesticides, bicycle parts, service vehicles, parts, generators’ batteries, spare parts for cooling machines such as refrigerators and air conditioners, water pumps, electrical equipment such as socket, power cords, etc.
Preventing the entry of basic needs of the residents is part of the inhuman siege of Liberty that has been enforced during the past 4 years by Faleh Fayyad and constitutes gross violation of humanitarian and human rights standards and many international treaties, a criminal act that deserves prosecution.
The Iranian resistance urges the United Nations and the US government who repeatedly and in writing committed to the health and safety of the Liberty residents to take immediate action to end this criminal and inhuman blockade.
