Any attempt to move Ashraf residents inside Iraq is illegal, inhuman and a prelude to massacre
We call on the Special Representative of the UN Secretary General in Iraq (UNAMI) to stand firm against dangerous plans of Maliki for displacing Ashraf residents

Call on the EU High Representative to follow the European Parliament’s resolutions and guidelines and to publicly condemn the deadline of 31 December 2011 to close Ashraf in order to give time to UNHCR to resettle Ashraf residents in third countries

Paris-The leader of an exiled Iranian opposition movement claimed Sunday that moves to close a camp in Iraq housing thousands of her supporters were part of a plot by Tehran to have them killed.

Maryam Rajavi, France-based leader of the People’s Mujahedeen Organization of Iran, said the Iraqi government’s plan to move Iranian exiles from Ashraf, north of Baghdad, had been secretly ordered by Iran's Islamic government.

“Relocating residents of Ashraf inside Iraq is a crime against humanity and is a prelude to a grand massacre that has been devised by the Iranian theocratic fascist rulers and the government of Iraq,” she alleged.

94 leading Iraqi luminaries including state leaders, MPs and party officials call for a humane solution for camp Ashraf and condemn the use of violence against its residents .

With the end of 2011approaching,
As we approach the final months of 2011, how Iraq deals with the situation in camp Ashraf has become an important factor with which the international community measures Iraq’s obligation to international law and human rights. Various international organizations, including the UN and UNHCR, have called for extension of the deadline to close camp Ashraf and have recognized the residents of the camp as protected persons under international law. Additionally, many Iraqi MPs and luminaries have added their voices to the campaign calling for the basic human rights of camp residents to be respected as asylum seekers protected by the 4th Geneva Convention; expressing their opposition to any attempt to bend to foreign pressures which are aimed at harassing the residents as well as any aggression, use of force or massacre, under any pretext, against them; similar to what happened in July of 2009 and April of 2011.
