Hon. Mr. Ban Ki-Moon,
United Nations Secretary General

Dear Secretary General,
This is Jens C. Lund writing to you on behalf of FOFI/Denmark.
I like to inform you that we have been shocked and deplored by the gratitude and appreciation that Mr. Martin Kobler expressed at the UN Security Council session yesterday regarding the flexibility that the Government of Maliki has shown vis-a-vis Ashraf residents.
It was sad that Mr. Kobler’s speech in the United Nation Security Council were so partial in favor of Iraq. I noticed the Iraq Ambassador only sufficed to say: “As Mr. Kobler mentioned, the Iraqi government has shown flexibility to relocate these people”.
We learned that “Mr. Kobler, has talked in details with Iraqi and Iranian parties through the Iranian Embassy or other channels communicating with Iran in order to provide the requirements for implementation of the understanding which has been agreed on between him and Iraq to close camp Ashraf and put an end to the presence of Iranian opposition on Iraqi territory”. This is a vital issue for Iranian brutal regime while great change is happening in the region.
His words on “difficulties in maintaining dialogue between UNAMI and the residents and between the residents and the Government of Iraq…” are absolutely unfair. They only refrained to take part in meetings that were chaired by an officer who has tortured and murdered the residents and is under international prosecution.
It is also a shame to hear that Mr. Kobler declared in the UN Security council session “Responsibility also falls on many international supporters. It is of great importance that they contribute to positively to influence the residents’ position…, Time is running out to find sustainable solution. The government’s patience is wearing thin….”
It is very surprising that he has not heard all the extensive international protests to his conduct in favor of Maliki’s Government and the Iranian regime against its opposition. He has not heard the protests by the churches in the UK and the US, the US congress and the Council of Europe and more than 4,000 parliamentarians in 46 countries as well as International Union of Lawyers.
We are surprised that Mr. Kobler pointedly asked the Ashraf supporters to side with him and the Government of Iraq to exert more pressure on defenseless residents in order to give up their minimum rights and legitimate and legal demands.
During his remarks in the UN Security Council, he did not dare to mention that 49 Ashraf residents were killed and more than 1000 wounded in the July 2009 and April 2011 raids and he has also forgotten the UN commitment for an investigation in this regard. Instead, he warned defenseless resident not to resort to violence and provocations!
We believe that remarks of Martin Kobler at the UN Security Council against Ashraf residents expressing gratitude for the Government of Iraq and ignoring systematic violation of its commitments. It is a shame closing eyes to realities and rights of asylum-seekers and international humanitarian laws and standards
We believe that remarks of Martin Kobler at the UN Security Council against Ashraf residents set the stage for the third massacre very soon in Camp Ashraf.
We need to say that according to professional researches of experts of International organizations “by any standard, Camp Liberty is a prison and the residents have been subjected to arbitrary detention.”

Therefore: 
We ask you to declare that Camp Liberty as a Refugee camp.
We ask you to prevent new Massacre of residents by Malikis’ forces backed by Mullah Regime in Iran.
We believe in your role.

Jens C. Lund, Colonel
Secretary General of Friends of a free Iran – Denmark
