Maryam Rajavi: Religious dictatorship ruling Iran cannot save itself by committing a crime against humanity at Camp Liberty<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Iranian Resistance’s President-elect Maryam Rajavi<\/a> hailed the martyrs and those injured in the October 29 missile attack on Camp Liberty<\/a>, describing them as symbols of admirable persistence of the people of Iran in their struggle to overthrow the mullahs’ religious fascism and achieve freedom.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Rajavi declared: Officially and legally, the Government of Iraq and the United Nations –who signed a Memorandum of Understanding in the final days of 2011 and have established Camp Liberty for four years as a “Temporary Transit Location (TTL)”– must account for this attack. However, the Iranian regime’s agents in the government of Iraq are directly responsible for the attack as it was the case in the six previous bloodbaths in camps Ashraf and Liberty, and the United States and the United Nations are fully aware of this reality.<\/p>\n

Maryam Rajavi underlined: By any definition, it is a crime against humanity to attack defenseless refugees who have no arms and no shields to protect themselves, and its perpetrators must be brought to justice.<\/p>\n

Who bombed the camp of Iranian dissidents in Iraq?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Repression<\/strong> – The camp of the People’s Mojahedin, Iranian dissidents in exile, was targeted by rockets last night<\/em><\/p>\n

Who fired rockets last night at Camp Liberty, a former US base near Baghdad, which houses hundreds of members of the Iranian opposition People’s Mujahideen (PMOI), killing 23 people according to them? For the organization headed by Maryam Rajavi, there’s no doubt, the Katyusha and Falaq rockets were produced in Iran. Eighty rockets were fired in the worst attack ever suffered by the opposition in exile, already attacked in the past by commandos in the pay of the regime in Tehran, in the Shiite majority Iraq whose ties with Iran have warmed.<\/p>\n

Camp Liberty Under Attack<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last night in a despicable act of terrorism it is estimated that 20 Iranian Opposition members were killed in a series of missile strikes on a political exile camp on the outskirts of Baghdad in Iraq.<\/p>\n

Camp Liberty, a former US Military Base and home to exiled Iranian opposition members, has been in operation since 2012 and houses numerous individuals that have been exiled since the Islamic revolution of 1979.<\/p>\n

The Iraqi government has failed to keep the camp secure, safe and with the most basic of provisions. Despite vast sums of money from the EU (\u20ac14 million) and other nations, there is a lapse of responsibility and duty of care from the Government of Iraq.<\/p>\n

The atrocious criminal attack which has once again been directed this afternoon against the Iranian refugees PMOI in Camp Liberty<\/a>\u00a0is a horror which must be condemned in the strongest way and bring the immediate reaction of the international community.<\/p>\n

The authors of this new crime against humanity are the same of the previous massacres and are directed by the same masters in Baghdad and in Teheran. Even the motives which lead the Iranian theocracy remain the same: the ‘ethnic cleansing’ of all the opponents and dissidents\u200e.<\/p>\n

FOX NEWS: Rocket attack killing Iranian exiles causes estimated $10 million in damage<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

By Ben Evansky<\/p>\n

Published October 30, 2015<\/p>\n

Less than a day after a barrage of at least 80 missiles killed 23 people and injured dozens more at a camp housing Iranian exiles near Baghdad International Airport, the damage was estimated at over $10 million.<\/p>\n

The United Nations’ High Commissioner for Refugees, Antonio Guterres, called the attack a “deplorable act.” A team from U.N. went to inspect the damage Friday.<\/p>\n

Some of the missiles that struck the camp were reportedly made by Iran. The National Council of Resistance of Iran<\/a> provided the initial damage estimate.<\/p>\n

The rockets hit Camp Liberty<\/a>, a former U.S. base now housing the group known as the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq, according to a police official. This is the fourth attack on the camp which houses 2,400 members of the opposition since 2013. The missile attack not only killed and maimed residents but caused untold damage. Officials tell Fox News 357 trailers, 10 dining halls and 275 air conditioners were destroyed or rendered totally nonfunctional.<\/p>\n

British MPs condemn the deadly missile attack on Camp Liberty resulting in death of 20 camp residents.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

We were just informed that there was yet another rocket attack on Camp Liberty, where members of Iran’s democratic opposition, the PMOI, were forced to move in 2012 after assurances of protection by the UN and the US government. And yet we were waiting to see these promises to be fulfilled when this 4th deadly attack on Camp Liberty took place this evening local time, (29 October 2015).<\/p>\n

Statement No.\u00a06<\/p>\n

Maryam Rajavi vehemently condemned missile attack on Camp Liberty<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maryam Rajavi strongly condemned the heavy missile attack this evening on Camp Liberty and declared: The government of Iraq and the United Nations who signed a Memorandum of Understanding and built a Temporary Transit Location (TTL) since 2011, are formally and legally accountable for this attack. In our view, however, as was the case in the six previous bloodbaths in Ashraf and Liberty, the Iranian regime\u2019s agents in the government of Iraq are responsible for this attack and the United States and the United Nations are well aware of this fact.<\/p>\n

Maryam Rajavi added: We had already warned about such an attack. Recently, too, 26 members of the US House of Representatives and 32 prominent political and military American personalities as well as 70 members of the French National Assembly warned the US, UN and the EU on their responsibility in this regard.<\/p>\n
