Ashraf attacked – Statement 101
NCRI – The 36 members of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) who have been taken hostage by the Iraqi forces since late July, were moved to undisclosed location after their forced transfer from Khalis city prison to Baghdad on October 1. They were beaten and violently moved at around 18:00 local time in Baghdad today while they have been on dry hunger strike for the past 78 hours.
The Iranian regime has been calling for their interrogation and trial. It is quite obvious that the aim of their violent transfer is to kill them and the Iraqi Government is directly responsible for it.
