– Breaking fuel supply pipes and destroying the fuel reservoir for of Ashraf power facilities
– Tearing down southern fence and transferring the battalion responsible for 2009 and 2011 massacres to Ashraf
NCRI – Agents of the Iranian regime’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS), the terrorist Quds Force and the Iraqi forces under the command of Nouri al-Maliki, have intensified pressure on Camp Ashraf residents and the siege against them. They are setting the stage for an attack and the residents’ slaughter by various means.
In early hours of Tuesday December 13, MOIS agents aided by Iraqi forces under the command of Maliki, broke fuel pipes of Ashraf’s power generating station (Ahrar generating station) and spilled on the ground all of the stations fuel reserves totaling 52000 liters.
The act of sabotage is taking place while the Iraqi committee in Maliki’s office tasked with the suppression of Ashraf  has been preventing the entry of gasoline for the past 11 months, and the entry of diesel fuel for the past seven months. The fuel in these reservoirs was the only reserve for Ashraf’s power generating station.
The Ahrar station was launched in 2007 to provide part of Ashraf’s critical systems power such as the hospital, food storages, water pumping station, bakery, etc. and the cost of buying and installing generators and related equipment, totaling $5 million, was all paid by the residents.
This station is the only facility generating power and heat for Ashraf residents during blackouts. Writing off this station due to lack of fuel, makes the situation for the patients and many of the wounded in April 8th deadly attack who are in critical conditions much more dangerous.
 
In another development, at 3:00 am on Tuesday December 13, a number of MOIS agents, who have been engaged in of psychological torture of the residents with 300 loudspeakers for the past two years, tore down the southern protective fence of Ashraf in several points with the support of Iraqi forces, in order to pave the way for infiltrations and further criminal acts against Ashraf residents. The plan was foiled by quick reaction of the residents, and the agents quickly fled the scene.
At the same time, reports obtained from inside the Iranian regime’s Revolutionary Guards Corps indicate that Maliki intends to once again redeploy the Iraqi Army 9th Division – 37th Brigade – 3rd Battalion to Ashraf. This unit had the largest role in the two massacres of July 2009 and April 2011. The objective is to make the preparations to implement the suppressive deadline and to launch a large scale slaughter in Ashraf. A number of the battalion’s officers, with close links to the Quds Force, who had been transferred out of this battalion will be returned.
 
These incidents clearly show that the countdown to the grave massacre in Ashraf by the religious fascism ruling Iran and their proxies in Iraq has begun. The Iranian Resistance calls on the United Nations and the US government for immediate action for the protection of Ashraf residents by US or UN forces and to prevent a bloodbath.
