NCRI – The Chairman of the Human Rights Committee in Kuwait’s Parliament has released a statement calling for the Untied Nations to take on responsibility to protect Camp Ashraf.
Camp Ashraf, Iraq, is home to more than 3,400 members of the main Iranian opposition, the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK).
Dr. Walid al-Tabtabai said: Until such time that UN forces take on the responsibility to protect Ashraf, American forces must guarantee that there are no attacks or violence against Ashraf residents, and that they will not be displaced.
He added, “The Iraqi government must respect the rights of Ashraf residents on the basis of compliance with the April 2009 European Parliament resolution.”
Dr. Tabtabai also noted, “With each passing day, the Iranian people sacrifice more lives to continue their uprising to bring change to their country and obtain freedom and democracy. Now the world is seeing their heroism and attesting that there is a war going on in Iran with the Iranian people on the one hand, armed with determination and the legitimacy of their demands, and the rulers on the other hand, relying on terrorism and an array of means of suppression.”
