The Iraqi forces affiliated to the Iraqi Intelligence and Prime Ministry have intensified restrictions on free access to medical care for a number of Camp Liberty residents particularly those suffering from incurable illnesses such as cancer.
Iraqi Major Ahmed Khozeir, stationed in Camp Liberty prevented nurses and interpreters of four residents on Sunday from accompanying the patients to Baghdad in their visits with specialized physicians.
Due to long delays caused by Ahmed Khozeir, the patients were not able to hold their medical appointment which had been scheduled from long time ago.
This has become a daily practice for the Iraqi forces to prevent some or all patients or their interpreters from leaving the camp to go to Baghdad medical centers.
Iraqi Major Ahmad Khozeir who has been directly involved in the April 8, 2012 and the September 1, 2013 massacre and abductions of members of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) in Camp Ashraf, is having the major role in imposing the inhuman medical siege against the residents.
So far, at least 16 residents of Camp Ashraf and Camp Liberty have lost their lives due to lack access to free medical treatment.
