Sunday Sep. 8, 2013:
Miss. Shahabe Barooti from Camp Liberty in Iraq whose mother Mahnaz Azizi
has been taken hostage along 6 others after the Sep. 1, 2013 attack on Camp Ashraf where 52 members of the Iranian
resistance were massacred. The Iranian residents of Camp Liberty have started their hunger
strike since the brutal attack last Sunday sep. 1st. Camp Ashraf has been the base for the
Mojahedin Khalgh MEK or PMOI for 27 years. They have vowed to topple the
Iranian regime. Camp Ashraf residents accepted disarmament in 2003 in order to get protection
from US but when US left Iraq in 2010, the security was
transferred to Iraqi government which is under the control of the Iranian
regime. To date 5 attacks have been carried out on residents of both Camps
Ashraf and Liberty
with many casualties. In 2012 Martin Kobler, UN's representative in Iraq at the time, tricked the
residents and relocated them to Liberty in order to be
transferred to third countries. On Sunday Sep. 1, 2013,
100 remaining residents of Ashraf who were there to protect their properties
were attacked by Iraqi Swat teams. Published pictures shows bodies of victim
with their hands tied and shot from close range. I am joined by Shahabe Barooti
from Liberty.
