The call by the majority of Malta’s parliament comes after similar calls by MPs in Britain, Italy and the Netherlands.
A strongly-worded statement by Maltese politicians said: “We condemn the systematic violation of human rights in Iran and are strongly disturbed by the regime’s secret nuclear programme and its terrorist involvements in the region and the world.
“The Iranian people and the international community desire democratic change in Iran in 2013. We strongly support the 10-point plan proposed by Mrs Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, and urge our government to do so.
“We call on our government and the UN Secretary General to refer Iran’s human right dossier to the Security Council and call for prosecution of the perpetrators of crimes against humanity in Iran.”
They also expressed deep concern over the plight of the 3,100 residents members of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) in Camp Liberty, where eight people died and more than 100 were injured in a deadly rocket attack on February 9.
The statement added: “The most urgent issue is the security of the residents in Camp Liberty who could face similar tragedies at any moment.
“We urge the UNHCR to immediately return them to Camp Ashraf, their home of 26 years, which is much more secure against such attacks, being 80 times larger than Liberty prison, from where they can be transferred to third countries.”
