NCRI – Protests by Iranian exiles against a siege on Ashraf City continued this week in Ottawa, London, and Washington in front of Iraqi embassies. Protestors condemned the heightening of the siege on Ashraf as well as the sudden intrusion of police there, demanding the rights of Ashraf residents to be guaranteed.
In Ottawa, a representative from the Iranian Youth Association of Resistance Supporters in Canada said that the Iraqi police’s illegal actions are the continuation of the dictated policies of the Iranian regime’s Supreme Leader against Ashraf. The regime is on the brink of being overthrown and is reviled by brave university students and youth in Iran. So, it dreams of closing down Ashraf in order to stifle any through of resistance.

Another participant at the rally in the Canadian capital said: In order to show its independence, the Iraqi government must comply with the European Parliament’s resolution on the rights of Ashraf residents as soon as possible. This is being demanded by the Iranian people and free thinkers around the world.
In Britain, Iranians gathering in front of the Iraqi embassy in London chanted slogans detesting the siege on Ashraf and protested against the implementation of the Iranian regime’s dictated plots. They urged the lifting of restrictions and pressures against Ashraf residents.
Across the Atlantic, Iranians in Washington continued their 125th day of protests in front of the White House. They noted that in accordance with international law, the US government bears the responsibility to protect Ashraf residents and to ensure respect for their rights. The demonstrators urged the US President to personally intervene in the matter in order to prevent the occurrence of a humanitarian catastrophe in Ashraf City.
Demonstrators were also informed about statements by international organizations, associations, political figures, and human rights advocates in support of Ashraf and in protest to the recent suppressive and illegal police intrusion.
Camp Ashraf, northeast of Baghdad, is home to some 3,500 members of the main Iranian opposition, the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK).
