As a group of Camp Liberty
residents' families residing in Europe and the , we are gravely
concerned about the lives of our children, especially after the rocket attack
on October 29 that killed 24 of the residents.
During 2003-2009, when the US forces
held the responsibility of security of Camp Ashraf on the ground, many of us
had the opportunity to travel to Ashraf and stay there for an unlimited period
of time and see our children. But since the time the US Camp Ashraf unlawfully
turned the security of our children over to the Pro-Iranian regime government
of Maliki, despite our repeated application for entry visa to Iraq through
various embassies in countries of our residence, Iraq has refused granting
permission to enter that country.
This is while our children and
relatives are recognized as protected persons under the Fourth Geneva
Convention and have been interviewed by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees
and they are recognized as people of concern protected under international law.
Our loved ones were transferred from
Camp Ashraf to Camp Liberty, supposedly a Temporary Transit Location, to be
relocated to third countries within few months. Yet, after 3.5 years they are
under unbearable pressures in the camp and they have not been resettled. The
Iraqi Government has virtually turned the camp into a prison.
In these circumstances, dispatched
teams of the mullahs’ Intelligence Ministry to Iraq and to Camp Liberty under
the cover of so-called families of the residents have no problem entering Iraq
and get through to the Camp.
