A number of British members of Parliament and political figures have strongly denounced an unjust siege laid by the Iraqi government against the residents of Camp Ashraf near Baghdad, where 3,400 members of the main Iranian opposition reside.
Camp Ashraf has been under siege for the past two years. For the last 11 months, agents of the Iranian regime have used more than 140 loudspeakers installed around the camp to psychologically torture the residents, members of the principal opposition People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK).At a session on December 21, 2010 in London, speakers, including two members of the British Parliament, expressed strong support for the beleaguered residents in Ashraf and condemned the unjust restrictions imposed against them at the behest of the Iranian regime.

U.N. requires U.S. protection for Camp Ashraf refugees
The Washington Times - Four days before WikiLeaks revealed 400,000 documents of war crimes and egregious human rights abuses in Iraq, the country's power-hungry Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki made a one-day trip to Tehran to meet with another power-hungry leader, Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei - fitting bedfellows. Both are deeply loathed at home, with little or no support; both are leaders of regimes that preside over killing, torture and rape of their fellow citizens. One day, those responsible for these crimes deserve to be arraigned before the International Criminal Court.

By Lord Robin Corbett Dear Hillary, We met your husband and you at the G8 summit reception in Birmingham when Bill spotted a Birmingham grandmother. Her photo was used as a publicity poster for the event. I can see you both now as Bill pointed and bellowed: 'Look Hillary, there's Marge.' I believe this poster ("Marge, get your hair done. Bill's coming to town") hung in the White House for a time!

by Lord Waddington Text of remarks by Lord Waddington at a meeting of the British Parliamentary Committee for Iran Freedom in Parliament’s Boothroyd Room on 22 July 2010:We can take some encouragement from what has happened in America recently. First and foremost, congratulations should go to those have worked so hard to try and get the US Government to rescind its unjust listing of the People’s Mojahedin Organisation of Iran (PMOI) as a terrorist organisation. Now a Court has ordered the State Department to review its decision, and I think that the Parliamentarians at this meeting should send a message to the Secretary of State asking her to look at the case with sympathy, and in light of the decision already made in the British Courts, come to a swift and just conclusion and free the PMOI from the stigma of terrorism.
