NCRI – The Iraqi government continues to remove T-walls from vicinity of Camp Liberty that had began on June 22. So far, the committee in charge of suppression of the residents has loaded and removed a large number of T-walls from the area by employing Iraqi force and using dozens of cranes and trucks during past four days.
Since the beginning of relocation of Ashraf residents to Camp Liberty in February 2012, Iraqi forces have removed 17,500 T-walls from Camp Liberty and piled them up outside the camp’s perimeter walls despite extensive protests of residents and their representatives.
The T-walls had been originally installed by the U.S. forces to provide protection for the housing trailers in the camp.
Following the February 9 missile attack, which resulted in 8 deaths and 100 injuries, the residents and their representatives, through in hundreds of written correspondences, meetings and phone conversations with the U.S., Iraqi, and United Nations officials, demanded that the T-walls be returned. However, the Iraqi government officially opposed the return of the T-walls.
Hasty removal of the T-walls from Liberty’s vicinity after the June 15 missile attack is indicative of ominous intention of the mullahs’ regime and its puppet regime in Iraq for inflicting more casualties on the residents in next attacks.
On June 24, the U.S. government announced, “given ongoing threats to the camp”, “the United States renews its call on the Government of Iraq to help ensure the security of the camp” and “this is a matter of extreme urgency”. However, all indications show that in a condition that expeditious and collective relocation of residents to third countries is not feasible, the only way to provide relative security for the residents is to return them to Camp Ashraf.
Accordingly, the Iranian Resistance calls on the U.S. government and United Nations, in light of their responsibilities toward providing security for Camp Liberty residents, to take immediate action to force goverrnment of Iraq to provide Liberty with minimum security necessities and to return the residents to Camp Ashraf.
