Welcome to Iran Liberty

THE WIP - By Shahriar Kia  February 20, 2012
It’s been five months since the 3400 Iranian dissidents of camp Ashraf, in Iraq, submitted their requests to UNHCR. But UNHCR has not yet begun its work to reconfirm the status of the residents of this camp as asylum seekers.

• Mullahs' thanking and welcoming the Iraqi government for the transfer of PMOI members to Camp Liberty, and  the United Nations for helping their expulsion

ILA - The mullahs' regime on the fourth day of transfer of a number of Ashraf residents to Camp Liberty, unveiled the issue and while welcoming the Iraqi government's action, described it as the "resolve of the Iranian nation" and "the will of the Iraqi government". It also thanked the United Nations for helping to expel PMOI from Iraq.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A humanitarian tragedy unfolds as the Iraqi military and police harass and threaten 397 Iranian dissidents relocated to Camp Hurriya, a former American military base. They are the first of 3,400 residents of Camp Ashraf. How Iraq, UN, EU, and the United States act is a litmus test for whether the rest of the residents of Camp Ashraf relocate.

ILA -   Forty-eight hours into entering Camp Liberty of 397 Ashraf residents, everything shows that at the behest of the Iranian regime, the Iraqi government has turned this camp into a prison and regretfully, UNAMI and Mr. Martin Kobler himself, the Special Representative of Secretary-General, assist in this prison-making by confirming it as a refugee camp.

Press Release 18 February 2012

Upon the request of the Iranian opposition leader, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, 400 members of the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran at Camp Ashraf have moved to Camp Liberty today. According to many independent observers, including the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, without freedom of movement, free access to medical services, ability to meet lawyers and without the Iraqi armed forces leaving Camp Liberty, Camp Liberty will be a prison for these 400 refugees. We commend Ashraf leadership for taking this risk and showing maximum flexibility to reach a peaceful solution to this crisis.

Lord Corbett, the Noble Conscience of the People of the United Kingdom

“Lord Robin Corbett of Castle Vale, the noble conscience of the people of the United Kingdom and their elected representatives, and a great friend of and supporter of the Iranian Resistance, will forever be remembered.”

Maryam Rajavi, February 19, 2012

Lord Robin Corbett of Castle Vale, the leader of the Peers in the British House of Lords and President of the British Parliamentary Committee for Iran Freedom, passed away on Sunday, February 19, 2012 at the age of 78.

ILA - Three days after the settlement of a group of Ashraf residents stationed in Camp Liberty, it has become even clearer that contrary to the January 31st statement of UNAMI and the Special Representative of the Secretary-General as well as the shoddy report of a shelter expert on January 30th, the conditions of the camp is far away from international humanitarian standards and little doubt has been left that the relocation of residents to this camp has been a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and international human rights law.
