FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
RE: Support People’s Mujahedin of Iran in Ashraf


The American Lebanese National Movement (ALNM) expresses its deepest regrets about pressures on members of Iranian opposition group, the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI) in Camp Ashraf north of Baghdad in Iraq.
ALNM calls the Iraqi government to end these pressures which are aimed to wear out the Iranian residents in Ashraf. These measures are contrary to all international human rights principles and treaties regarding the rights of refugees, and violate Iraq’s international obligations. These acts are also tantamount to trampling upon international law and humanitarian laws established after the Second World War.
We condemn this inhuman act and consider it a war crime. In unison with the Iranian people and all honorable Iraqis, we call on the UN, the International Committee of the Red Cross, the Red Crescent, Human Rights Ministry, and all international human rights and social organizations to condemn these despicable measures and ask the Iraqi government to end these pressures which have tainted the reputation of Iraq and the Iraqi government.
The American Lebanese National Movement is a non-profit, civil and charitable association with no political or religious character.
