Iran regime demolishes entire Sunni village.

Iran regime demolishes entire Sunni village

Graphic evidence has emerged of a village bulldozed to the ground by Iran's fundamentalist regime in the Sunni-majority, poverty-stricken province of Sistan and Baluchistan, southeast Iran.

In the early morning hours of Sunday, December 27, the regime's state security forces arrived at the village of Shahidan-e Danesh-Payeh in 50 police vehicles and 10 loaders, according to eye-witnesses, and began to demolish the villagers’ homes.

Shahidan-e Danesh-Payeh is about two kilometers from the impoverished province's largest city and provincial capital Zahedan. The small village, officially listed in the municipality records with the village code 711891, had a municipality sign, and its electricity and water pipes were connected to the larger municipalities' networks.

The suppressive security forces claimed that the homes had been built illegally on the land.

One eye-witness said that of twenty homes in the village only two were left standing, whose owners had said that they would not leave their homes even if they were brought down on their heads. The regime’s agents threatened the two families inside that they had only days to vacate the premises before the demolition would go ahead anyway.

Ali Safavi of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) condemned the atrocities of the mullahs’ regime against Iran’s Sunni minority. “This inhumane act is the latest in a series of repressive measures undertaken by the authorities to further marginalize our Sunni brethren in Iran. Ironically, it is happening under the so-called moderate Hassan Rouhani’s watch and lays bare the sectarian and intolerant nature of the clerical regime as it pertains to Iran’s diverse religious and ethnic minorities,” he added.

UN must urge Iraq to grant visa to families of Iranians in Camp Liberty.

campliberty-map

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.

Obstructing entry of basic needs and contractors to Camp Liberty for imperative repairs

camp-liberty

On Wednesday, October 21, 2015, Major Ahmed Khozair, an agent from the Governmental Committee tasked to suppress Camp Liberty residents, once again in the recent weeks, prevented entry of residents’ basic needs, supplies, and items needed for maintenance and repair of camp’s infrastructures, etc returning them from camp’s gate.

These suppressive measures and returning of items bought by residents are implemented under the supervision of Iraqi National Security Advisor Faleh Fayyad.

The returned items include ordinary cloth, stationary, electric cables, water pumps, ventilators, water pressure container, hose and physical exercise equipment.

Concurrently, agents of the Committee prevented an Iraqi contractor from coming to the camp despite the fact that his visit had been coordinated with UNAMI and Iraqi officers. It is over two years now that the suppressive committee prevents contractors from coming to the camp for the repair of air-conditioning systems and camp’s worn out infrastructures. This measure is egregious breach of the Memorandum of Understanding signed between Government of Iraq and UNAMI on December 25, 2011 according to which contractors may sign contracts for refurbishment and repair jobs in the camp. This issue has been raised numerously with UNAMI, but no effective measures have been taken.

Khamenei compelled to approve nuclear deal paves way for future violations and stonewalling

On Wednesday, October 21, Iranian regime supreme leader Khamenei who is deeply concerned about the consequences of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) with P5+1 for the survival of the clerical regime, inescapably approved the deal after a 100-day delay in a letter to Rouhani and stated that he approves the August 10, 2015 resolution of regime’s Supreme National Security Council in this regard.

Meanwhile, he resorted to charlatanism special to him to take advantage of the feeblepolicy of the West and its appeasement of mullahs. He raised some arguments or new conditions and made ambiguous statements to keep the option of violating the accord and to pave the way for stonewalling its implementation, while attempting to prop up his dispirited forces.

Pumping fabricated information and reports against PMOI in Camp Liberty to tighten the siege and suppression and to disrupt transfer out of Iraq

According to reports received from inside Iran, the Iranian regime’s Intelligence Ministry (MOIS) has in recent weeks ramped up the pumping of fabricated information against the PMOI and Camp Liberty residents.

In one such ludicrous lie, the MOIS informed the Governmental Committee tasked to suppress Ashraf, as well as other Iraqi security and military organs, that a group from the PMOI is planning to hijack an airplane at Baghdad Airport. The reason behind these lies is to ratchet up the siege and suppressive measures against Camp Liberty and to disrupt the transfer of residents out of Iraq.
