Specialist physicians were prevented from entering Camp Ashraf on orders of Iraqi government’s committee for suppression of Ashraf
NCRI – Upon the order of the Iraqi government’s committee for suppression of Camp Ashraf residents, Iraqi forces on Sunday prevented the entry of a group of specialist physicians to the camp who had come from Diyala province’s health department to treat patients at the camp’s hospital.
This is for the fourth time during the past two weeks that the Iranian agents in Iraq have prevented physicians from entering the camp. The forces threatened the physicians with arrests as they tried again to enter the camp. Previously, they were forced to return on October 25 and 28 and November 1.

Physicians are barred while many of some 500 camp residents who were injured during the July 27-28 brutal attacks by Iraqi forces are in need of special medical attention.
Also, Iraqi forces prevented two fuel tankers from entering the camp last week. Their drivers were arrested and taken to Khalis city prison and their tankers were seized. The Iraqi committee for suppression of Ashraf had ordered that no fuel should be allowed into the Camp. This is an open offer of service to the Iranian regime during Larijani’s visit to Iraq against the Iranian people and their Resistance.
Ali Larijani, mullahs’ Parliament Speaker said in his latest visit to Iraq: “According to international laws majority of Ashraf resident are criminals and must be extradited to Iran and we believe any hesitation in this regard would not be appropriate for Iraq.” (State-run Fars news agency, November 4, 2009)
Iranian Resistance draws the attention of the United Nations Secretary General, Special Representative of the Secretary General for Iraq, UNAMI, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, U.S. Ambassador to Iraq and the Commander of the U.S. forces to the cruel siege imposed on Ashraf residents since the beginning of 2009 and calls for immediate measures to end the inhumane siege.
The European Parliament, in its April 24, 2009 resolution, urged Iraq to respect the rights of Ashraf residents as Protected Persons under the Geneva Conventions, remove blockade on Ashraf and refrain from expelling or forcibly displacing them.
