Iranians
protest outside UN in Geneva enters its 3rd year
As an unprecedented act of solidarity with the Iranian residents of Liberty and
Ashraf, the Iranian protest has entered its 3rd year in Geneva. The
supporters of the people's Mojahedin Organizations of Iran have been demanding
the immediate action to protect the dissidents in Liberty and
Ashraf in Iraq. The
demonstrators -many of whom have family and friends in Camp Liberty and
Ashraf - demand the UNHCR to return all residents to Ashraf after the deadly February 9, 2013 rocket attacks on Camp Liberty which
left 8 people killed. Camp Liberty near Baghdad houses
thousands of PMOI members in Iraq who
were forcibly evicted from Camp Ashraf where
they were residing for the past 26 years.

due to lack of medical facility and equipment at the camp. Mr. Barzmehri was 61
years old. On Saturday April 20th a ceremony was held for Mr. Barzmehri in
front of the US embassy
here in Ottawa where
Iranian-Canadians paid their respects.
IAEA and
Iranian regime may meet again in May
According to Reuters the U.N. nuclear watchdog and Iranian regime may
resume talks next month over a long-stalled investigation into Iranian regime’s
nuclear program, but no date has yet been fixed, a diplomatic source said on
Friday.
It would be the 10th round of negotiations between the International Atomic
Energy Agency and the Iranian regime since the discussions about what the IAEA
calls 'possible military dimensions' to Tehran’s nuclear program began in early
2012.
The last session of talks, in February, failed to yield a breakthrough that
would enable the IAEA to restart its investigation, and another round in May is
a possibility, the source has told the Reuters without elaborating.
IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano this month said that some of the differences
between the two sides were still 'quite important'. He said any deal with
Iranian regime must enable his inspectors to carry out effective verification
work.
