And then imagine that you are asked to write an insurance people for people who are hated, and for good reason, by the current Mullahs in Iran who are now calling the shots in Iraq.<\/p>\n<p>The risks to the lives of every single member of the MEK, ever single resident of Camp Ashraf, are immediate, real, clear and present.\u00a0 There is no time for further discussion and debate.\u00a0 We must take action.\u00a0 And the action we must take is twofold.<\/p>\n<p>Number 1, the MEK must immediately be delisted.\u00a0 That is required by law.\u00a0 It&#8217;s required for morality and it is required by facts of the case. The United States Court of Appeals has issued an order demanding that the State Department reconsider.\u00a0 The State Department has been dragging its feet.\u00a0 They have been speaking out of two sides of their mouth.\u00a0 We have been on the phone repeatedly with State Department representatives.<\/p>\n<p>On the one hand they tell us it doesn&#8217;t matter at all whether the MEK is listed or delisted. On the other hand, they are telling us that European countries won&#8217;t take members of the MEK and the reason for that is precisely because they were remain listed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Washington-DC-3-Feb-2\" class=\" size-full wp-image-38551\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2012\/02\/Washington-DC-3-Feb-2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"400\" height=\"193\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Washington-DC-3-Feb-2.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Washington-DC-3-Feb-2-300x145.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It is very hard for the United States to tell a European country to take members of the MEK and residents of Camp Ashraf, when the United States won&#8217;t take the single action that Britain has taken and the European Union has taken of taking these people off the list.<\/p>\n<p>They must be taken of that list.\u00a0 It matters greatly.\u00a0 It matters under American law; it matters under perceptions, it matters under the realities of the situation.\u00a0 I am very worried about the two-step process now under consideration.\u00a0 First moved a few hundred to Camp Liberty and then move the rest to Camp Liberty.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine what will happen the minute Camp Ashraf is abandoned.\u00a0 The first thing that could happen is for the Iraqi police to go in and discover evidence of terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>We know it&#8217;s not beyond the capacity of the Iraqi police and the Iranian intelligence agencies to plant false, incriminating evidence against members of Camp Ashraf.\u00a0 That is something they are likely to do. Which is why I&#8217;m employing today for the Iraqi Government to allow inspection of Camp Ashraf the moment we leave to allow people from, for example, Louis Freeh&#8217;s &#8216;s office.<\/p>\n<p>Louis Freeh know how to find evidence of criminality.\u00a0 He did it for years and years and very effectively.\u00a0 Let his people go in there and let them certify that there&#8217;s no evidence of terrorism.\u00a0 We know there&#8217;s no evidence of terrorism.\u00a0 We know there&#8217;s no terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>There has to be an inspection with photographs, with forensic evidence to forbid the Iraqi Government from planting evidence. Because what the Iraqi Government is now looking to do, they are looking to make excuses to do what they know they would like to do.\u00a0 And that is once again attack the residents of Camp Ashraf. They need a reason for doing it because they<\/p>\n<p>are being watched by the world as a result of this great human rights activity that we are all engaged in today.<\/p>\n<p>This is one of the classic human rights activities and activities projects, and it&#8217;s been very successful in bringing this matter to the attention of the international community and the international media.<\/p>\n<p>The Iraqis know we are watching them.\u00a0 But they are still looking for excuses to know what they want to do.\u00a0 We have to make sure they have no such excuses. So the first thing has to be de-listing. Because the Iraqi Government says we are dealing with terrorists.\u00a0 We are dealing with people the United States Government has declared to be terrorists and who are sympathetic with terrorists.<\/p>\n<p>The fact you call somebody a terrorist doesn&#8217;t, however, make them terrorists.\u00a0 There is no evidence.\u00a0 We know that, that any military action or terrorist action has occurred, certainly not in the last decade. And the second thing that has to be done.\u00a0 We have to start thinking not about the transfer from Camp Ashraf to Camp Liberty.\u00a0 That is short-term and very dangerous first step.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Washington-DC-3-Feb-1\" class=\" size-full wp-image-38552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2012\/02\/Washington-DC-3-Feb-1.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Washington-DC-3-Feb-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Washington-DC-3-Feb-1-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The ultimate goal has to be to make sure that every resident of Camp Ashraf no longer is within the jurisdiction of Iraq.\u00a0 They must be moved out of the Iraq &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>We can&#8217;t wait until the European countries and United States and Canada and other countries are willing to accept members.\u00a0 There has to be an intermediate step.\u00a0 Whether it&#8217;s an airlift to Jordan or an airlift to another country, somewhere where they are out of Iraq.<\/p>\n<p>We are not talking about comfort.\u00a0 Oh, you&#8217;re worried that there won&#8217;t be this facility or that facility.\u00a0 That&#8217;s not the ultimate issue.\u00a0 That&#8217;s a concern.\u00a0 But it&#8217;s not the ultimate issue.\u00a0 The ultimate issue is the safety, physical safety of the residents.<\/p>\n<p>They prefer to be in Jordan in a worse facility than in Iraq in a better facility.\u00a0 Because they know if they are out of Iraq, their lives will not be in danger.\u00a0 So we have to move toward this two-step process.<\/p>\n<p>There is an emergency, as I have said. There&#8217;s no time for the usual procedures of the courts to go slowly.\u00a0 The de-listing has to occur immediately.\u00a0 We are going to be filing briefs in the United States Court of Appeals which calls for the Court to order the State Department to de-list them immediately. (Applause)<\/p>\n<p>I have a recurring nightmare.\u00a0 And the nightmare is that at the next of these meetings, at the next of these human rights events we will be asking the question why didn&#8217;t we do more to prevent a humanitarian tragedy?<\/p>\n<p>Human rights activists generally look back.\u00a0 And they look back in sadness and they ask the question Samantha Powers asked in her great book about President Clinton when President Clinton acknowledged that he made a terrible mistake by not doing more to prevent some of the genocides in Africa. And I&#8217;m terrified that we will be posing those questions to ourselves.\u00a0 Why didn&#8217;t we do more?<\/p>\n<p>We are in a unique position today as human rights activists.\u00a0 We can prevent a humanitarian disaster.\u00a0 We can actually do something to save lives.<\/p>\n<p>He who saves a single human life is if they have saved the world.\u00a0 That is part of the Christian tradition, Jewish tradition and Moslem tradition.\u00a0 We are a position to say human lives.<\/p>\n<p>And as my friend Elie Weisel, who has told me to say that he cares deeply, deeply about the residents of Camp Ashraf reminds me over and over again for him the main lesson in the holocaust has always been, take the threats of your enemies more seriously than the promises of your friends. Now we are friends with people at Camp Ashraf.\u00a0 We, as a government, the United States has made promises.\u00a0 We are not keeping those promises.\u00a0 It is a scandal that the United States is not keeping its promise.<\/p>\n<p>We demanded of the residents of Camp Ashraf that they give up their ability to defend themselves in exchange for a solemn and sacred promise that we would take over their defense; we would protect them.<\/p>\n<p>In this Capitol building I call on the United States Government &#8212; keep its promise.\u00a0 Save lives.\u00a0 Rescue the residents of Camp Ashraf.\u00a0 Thank you, very much.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NCRI &ndash; Washington DC &ndash; February 3, 2012&nbsp; &ndash; US Congress conference &ndash; Uphold Justice enable peaceful resettlement of Camp Ashraf&nbsp; residents I&rsquo;m Alan Dershowitz, Professor at Harvard Law School.&nbsp; [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[175],"class_list":{"0":"post-11671","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-ashraf-liberty","7":"tag-updated"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
