Camp Ashraf military occupation – No. 1
NCRI – On the order of the Iraqi Prime Minister Nour al-Maliki the forces of Iraq’s Fifth Division invaded Camp Ashraf with columns of armored vehicles, occupying areas inside the Camp, since midnight on Saturday. So far at-least 30 BMP armored personnel carrier and Humvees are stationed inside the Camp.
The military occupation of Ashraf, a complete civilian and disarmed area is in violation of international laws and conventions including the Fourth Geneva Convention. It is a reminder of the brutal suppressive measures by Qaddafi’s Brigades against the defenseless people of Libya.
The tyrannical measures are taking place in accordance with the Iranian regime’s plans for suppression of its opposition while facing nationwide uprising by the Iranian people.
The Iranian Resistance calls on the United Nations Secretary General, his Special Representative to Iraq, the American Forces, the Ambassador of the United States to Iraq, for their immediate intervention to have Iraqi forces exit the camp.
