NCRI – Mr. Mahmoud al-Kharabsheh, a member of Jordanian parliament, in an interview with al-Rafedin Iraqi TV on September 4, called for the release of 36 members of the Iranian opposition group the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) who were taken hostage by Iraqi forces during attack on Camp Asharf in July. <\/p>\n
“The 36 Iranian residents of Ashraf who have been held by the Iraqi government must be freed immediately especially because there is a court order on their release. Their arrests or imprisonments are against the law and in contravention with the Forth Geneva Convention,” he said.<\/p>\n
“Something must be done regionally and internationally to end the inhuman treatment of Ashraf residents. Camp Ashraf residents are hunger strike. They are prevented from receiving humanitarian aid. This is a violation of human rights…This is a humanitarian and legal issue,” he added.<\/p>\n
Mr. al-Kharabsheh described the attack on Camp Ashraf by Iraqi forces as an illegal act against civilians.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
