Based on new documents from inside Iran, Iranian Resistance declares: Maliki obstructs release of medical examination report of September 1 Camp Ashraf massacre victims in fear of consequences of his crimes against humanity
• Coroner’s office underscores that most victims were killed by gun shots to their heads and many were executed with their hands tied.
According to reliable documents and reports from inside Iran, upon orders from the Iranian regime to bar disclosure of the extent of the September 1st atrocity and to escape the consequences of crime against humanity, in an anti-human measure contradicting Islamic teachings, it is about four months that Maliki refuses to handover the bodies of the martyrs to their families and friends in Camp Liberty for burial and prevents the autopsy reports from Baghdad Coroner’s Office to be acted upon. According to these documents and reports:
1. On September 5, bodies of the martyrs were referred by Baquba coroner’s office to “Baghdad Coroner’s Office Management” for autopsy and investigations.
2. Autopsy on all bodies was performed on September 8 and 9 by the responsible physician at Baghdad Coroner’s Office and the official reports on these autopsies have one by one been written and signed on September 17 by the responsible physician. In part of the autopsy reports that were accessible, details of the wounds and reason of death of each person has been put in ink with most stating “cause of death” as “bullet wound” to the head.
3. In numerous cases in the coroner’s office reports, including in the cases of EbrahimAssadi and Rahman Mannani, it is explicitly stated that “hands were tied in the back by metal handcuffs”. This is while Maliki’s sham investigations had claimed that no handcuffs were seen on the bodies of the death!
4. Baghdad Coroner’s Office Management had prepared the autopsy reports on all martyrs on September 19 in sealed envelopes ready to be handed over to “The New Iraq Police Center / Diyala” (Ashraf police center). However, fearful of disclosure of other aspects of this atrocity and exposing its perpetrators, the Iraqi Prime Ministry prevented these documents to be handed over to the investigative judge in Khalis. Upon orders from the investigative judge, the Ashraf police center sends police officers to get these files on several occasions, including on November 5, but the Prime Ministry obstructs transfer of these files to the investigative judge.
5. Finally on December 1, following repeated follow ups by the investigative judge, just reports of autopsy on 16 bodies (and not all of the 52 bodies) are handed over to the Ashraf police.
6. Interesting is that since bodies of the martyrs were handed over to Baghdad Coroner’s Office and although the autopsies were still incomplete, Baghdad Coroner’s Office director acted in advance and on September 8 requested from Azamiyeh Examining Magistrate to agree with burying the martyrs in Baghdad cemetery since they have no relatives and no one has referred to receive the bodies.
7. It is reminded that on September 2, bodies of the martyrs were handed over by Ashraf residents to Mr. Francesco Motta, UNAMI Chief of Human Rights Office in Iraq, and the Iraqi forces and the bodies were transferred to Baquba Hospital. Hence, in a short time span, the autopsies and legal procedures were concluded and there were no obstacles to prevent handing over the bodies to residents.
8. UNAMI representatives, or any other impartial international organ for that matter, were not present during the process of autopsies in breach of the primary agreement. This was while one of the conditions set by Ashraf residents to handover the bodies was for UNAMI representative to be present during the autopsies.
In fear of the consequences of crime against humanity and to wash his bloody hands and to pave the way for future atrocities, Maliki is unsuccessfully attempting to destroy all the evidence. Preventing the handover of bodies of the martyrs and obstructing the procedure for coroner’s office files are among such steps. Repeatedly in the past four months, in meetings, phone calls, and their correspondence with U.S. and UN officials, and also in dozens of Camp Liberty Daily Reports that are sent by residents’ legal advisor to all pertinent officials, residents and their representatives and lawyers have demanded to receive bodies of the martyrs and to bury them.
Similarly, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, including in the international conference in Paris on December 7 and the official meeting of the Human Rights Commission of the Italian Senate on December 18, has numerously condemned taking hostage bodies of martyrs by Iraqi government and called for an end to this anti-human treatment.
Once again, the Iranian Resistance underscores the imperative to conduct an independent and thorough investigation by United Nations into the September 1 massacre in Ashraf and the referral of its dossier to the International Criminal Court and it considers any delay in this matter as paving the way for the future atrocities. Silence and inaction in face of crime against humanity emboldens criminals such as Khamenei and Maliki in continuing with their atrocities and denying the truth.
