NCRI – French MPs have urged the international community to compel Iraq to release the seven hostages taken captive during the Camp Ashraf massacre and provide security for over 3,000 Iranian dissidents at Camp Liberty.<\/p>\nNCRI – French MPs have urged the international community to compel Iraq to release the seven hostages taken captive during the Camp Ashraf massacre and provide security for over 3,000 Iranian dissidents at Camp Liberty.<\/p>\n
France’s Parliamentary Committee for a Democratic Iran also condemned more than 300 executions and widespread human rights abuses in Iran under so-called ‘moderate’ president Hassan Rouhani.<\/p>\n
The committee’s conference on October 29 also heard from Iranian Resistance president-elect Maryam Rajavi, who warned Iran was still desperate to acquire a nuclear bomb.<\/p>\n
She said: “The objective of the regime is to diminish the sanctions that have aggravated its situation without giving up the bomb. Despite gestures of overture, nothing in substance has changed. Khamenei tries to use deceptive histrionics by Rouhani to advance his own strategy.”<\/p>\n
Speakers told the conference that negotiations between Iran and P5+1 on the regime’s nuclear program that began with excessive optimism has now stalled due to a refusal to make concessions, especially regarding the enrichment of uranium, by Iran’s ruling elite.<\/p>\n
A statement from the committee said: “This hard-headedness is the other side of the coin of imposing hegemony on Syria and Iraq and violations of human rights in Iran.<\/p>\n
“The UN Special Rapporteur declared on October 23 that no changes have yet been seen regarding the condition of human rights in Iran. Around 300 executions have been carried out in Rouhani\u2019s first three months of presidency.<\/p>\n
“On September 1, Iraqi forces affiliated with the Iranian regime attacked Camp Ashraf killing 52 members of People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) and abducted seven, including six women. Hostages are threatened with extradition to Iran where torture and death awaits them.<\/p>\n
“This has led to a hunger strike since September 1 by hundreds of Iranians in Camp Liberty, Geneva, Ottawa, Melbourne, London and Berlin that has now reached its sixtieth day with health conditions of the hunger strikers turning quite worrisome.<\/p>\n
“We call on the global community to support the demands of hunger strikers to compel government of Iraq to release the hostages and provide security and protection to over 3000 Camp Liberty residents who are threatened by violence from regimes of Iran and Iraq.<\/p>\n
“We also call on the French government to lead a European and international initiative to prevent recurrence of a human catastrophe in Camp Liberty and to take steps regarding government of Iraq to secure the release of the seven hostages who are threatened with forced expulsion to Iran where their lives will be in great peril.”<\/p>\n
