Martin Kobler in the Security Council session lied in order to overlook the serious security risks at Camp Liberty

While there is a consensus on the Camp Liberty still facing the threats of the clerical regime in cooperation of the Iraqi government, distorting the facts, Martin Kobler made an effort in his propaganda speech on March 21, 2013 filled with lies and falsifications to overlook the serious and blatant security risks against the Camp Liberty residents and to go round the fact that no preventive measure has been taken in this camp, says the statement by the National Council of Resistance of Iran.. Martin Kobler the special representative of Ban Ki Moon, reported to the security council on Thursday that the residents of camp Liberty are not cooperating with him and that the camp leaders are stopping residents to leave Iraq.  The committee called "in search of justice" in its report blamed Kobler for the 8 dead after the Feb. 9 Missile attack on the unarmed Liberty residents. The report indicates that Kobler has tricked them into pressuring Mrs Rajavi in order to persuade the residents to agree to relocate from camp Ashraf to Liberty more than a year a go thinking this was a temporarily transition location or TTL. Martin Kobler doctored files and pictures and deceived the residents and their international supporters. As the pressure increased on Kobler and calls for his replacement got louder, Kobler appeared at the security council to complain about the residents and its leaders. The Feb. 9 missile attack left 8 Liberty members dead and more than a hundred wounded, 3 of them carried German passports. The last person who died of his injuries, Mr. Hamid Rabi, carried Germany's passport as well. NCRI says one phone call from Martin Kobler's wife who recently became German ambassador to Baghdad could have saved his life.
