The committee urged Iraqi Prime Minister Haider Al-Abadi not to allow the Iranian regime's agents, "who have been nested in various political and security organizations during 8 years of former prime minister Nouri Al-Maliki's rule," to pave the way for another humanitarian disaster against the Iranian refugees in Camp Liberty (members of the PMOI – MEK).
"In the morning of September 7, 2015, two dozen Iranian Quds Force agents under the pretext of families of residents were transferred to Liberty by the Iranian Embassy in Baghdad and Colonel Sadiq Mohammad Kazem and some of his colleagues in the Committee of Suppression of Liberty residents chaired by Faleh Fayyaz, Iraq’s National Security Adviser, by passing them through several checkpoints. The agents then began chanting slogans against the residents. These actions continued until the last hours of the day," the ISJ said in a statement.
These actions are a reminder of two years of "psychological torture" of Camp Liberty residents in 2010 and 2011 in Camp Ashraf by the Iranian regime's agents under the name of residents' families in preparation for the "subsequent killings" in Camp Liberty, it said.
"Dispatching a bunch of mercenaries to Liberty under the name of family members is taking place while hundreds of families of Liberty residents in Europe, North America and Iran’s neighboring countries have complained to ISJ about the Iraqi government’s refusal to let them go to Iraq and visit their loved ones."
"Prior to this, in the years 2011 and 2012, the US and UN officials had repeatedly promised us that when the residents were transferred from Ashraf to Liberty, the Iraqi Government would prevent any visit to Liberty by the Iranian regime agents under any circumstances. Unfortunately, the Iranian regime's agents in the Iraqi Government repeatedly violate this promise by the demand of this regime."
"In addition to the Iraqi Government, ISJ asks the UN Secretary-General, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, UNAMI and the US Government to proceed immediately, according to their clear commitments, to take away the responsibilities and Iraqi management of Camp Liberty from the Iraqi people affiliated with the Iranian regime like Faleh Fayyaz, Col. Sadiq, and Maj. Ahmad, and transfer it to individuals and organizations who are not linked and under the influence of the Iranian regime, and prevent the Iranian regime agents from approaching Liberty and launching another bloodbath. A disaster that neither Prime Minister Abadi nor the US Government nor the United Nations will be innocent in it."
