Canadian Parliament unanimously adopted a motion supporting Iranian residents of Camp Liberty in Iraq

On June 16t the Canadian Parliament Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on International Human Rights unanimously adopted a motion in support of the more than 3000 residents of Camp Liberty in Iraq - formerly at Camp Ashraf - all of whom are designated protected persons under the Fourth Geneva Convention. The motion followed compelling testimony on the urgency of the security and humanitarian situation at Camp Liberty, and the need for international protective action.
The residents, who are members of the Iranian dissident group Mojahedin e-Khalq [PMOI/MEK'], have been forced to live at Camp Liberty under dangerous and deplorable conditions as characterized by a wholly inadequate security infrastructure. Since 2009, they have been the victims of six violent attacks, the most lethal of which occurred at Camp Ashraf on September 1, 2013. 52 people were executed and seven hostages remain missing and unaccounted for.
The motion recognizes that the situation at Camp Liberty constitutes an urgent legal, political and - in particular- humanitarian crisis. It calls on the Untied Nations to immediately establish a permanent presence inside Camp Liberty and to launch an independent and impartial investigation into the September 1 massacre. It also recommends that Canada provide assistance for the relocation of Camp Liberty residents and accept some number of them as asylum seekers.

Iran’s Tasnim news agency: Vienna 5 talks reach dead-end

The terrorist Quds Force-affiliated Tasnim news agency in Iran wired an analysis report on Saturday, June 21st, saying the Vienna 5 negotiations between the Iranian regime and 5+1 have failed and reached a dead end. Tasnim referred to remarks made by the regime's foreign minister Javad Zarif that this time, in contrast to previous rounds, he used “intense language of criticism against the other party… and clearly mentioned fundamental differences between Iran and the other party…”
Tasnim wrote: “The result of all the telephone communications and direct negotiations with the US has been this that they are asking for even more now, and despite the fact that Iran has shown all the necessary cooperation and possible guarantees on its activities being peaceful, the negotiations have reached a dead-end… however, Iran’s nuclear team doesn’t want the negotiations’ dead-end to lead to an official failure because it has promised both the people to resolve the problem, and at least in the current conditions an official negotiations failure will be in no interest of the country.”
Referring to claims made by Zarif and the negotiating team that the text of the comprehensive agreement is being written, Tasnim added, “Starting to letter the text of the comprehensive agreement is aimed at buying time between promises. Record shows that the Americans have already made their plans for the next stage. However, does the Iranian nuclear team have any plan for the next stage, or is it just continuing based on hopes? We have to wait and see and evaluate the next policies and approaches.”
