US Senate – Conference in Kennedy Caucus Room – 18 December 2014

Senator Joseph Lieberman
Vice President Candidate in 2000

In the government of Iraq the people who have responsibility for oversight of what happens at Camp Liberty are people who are still essentially very close to Iran, and they are doing Iran’s bid. There is a reason why America must take the lead in protecting the people of Camp Liberty. It’s because they are there and being mistreated according to every standard of human rights and decency because the United States broke a promise to them that if they gave up their weapons and left Ashraf and went to Camp Liberty we would protect them. We haven’t.

Francis Townsend
Former White House Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Advisor, 2004-07

Many of you who know me, having had the privilege to be with you in the past, know how passionately and strongly I feel about those who remain in Camp Liberty. And so, we have friends who really stepped up to the challenge, frankly in a way that I regret to say the United States has not.
I’d like to just talk for a moment about the residents in Camp Liberty. They don’t have access to medical treatment. It is really unconscionable. The Iranian regime that influenced the Maliki government, those same people who were responsible in the Iraqi government for the conditions in Camp Liberty remain in the new Iraqi regime. They continue to deny these basic human rights and services to residents of Camp Liberty.
I will tell you it has been a great privilege for me to be able to be a voice for the residents of Liberty. As many of you know I feel a real kinship to the women of Liberty who have tried to shelter their families from further harm.
Mrs. Rajavi has been a role model and an inspiration to the women in this movement and frankly under her own security threats has continued to be internationally an outspoken voice for the women in particular in Liberty. Without you being the advocates for Liberty here in the halls of Congress, they have no voice. And so we here support you and we here hope to encourage and inspire you to act here with Congress and being the advocates for those in Camp Liberty.

Senator Roy Blunt

Another issue that I have been involved in, a critically important issue, of what happens to the people at Camp Liberty, people that we gave our commitment to at Camp Ashraf and we have not kept that commitment

Congresswoman Sheila Jackson-Lee

As we look now at Camp Liberty, and I believe it is important that the message remains that the treatment of those in Camp Liberty, the committee that has been used in Camp Ashraf and now again in Camp Liberty, where doctors and physicians and medicine are not allowed in is a clear human rights violation.
I have been told that Camp Liberty has been blocked again from entering doctors and medicine, and so I will be encountering the State Department as quickly as possible to find out why all the resolve that we had in Camp Liberty and the peace we were supposed to have in recognition by Iraq is not in the way it should be.
Let me commit to the continued oversight of Camp Liberty and let us plead on one hand on the recognition of all of our humanity that the harassment stops, the denial of health care and the denial of the needed health to the sick stops immediately.

General Jack Kean
Former US Army Chief of Staff

We have pulled away from Iraq geopolitically and it was just one of the most irresponsible strategic blunders we have ever made, and we did that right on the heels on the broken promise dealing with the residents of Camp Liberty.
Our policies as it pertains to Liberty, our policies as it pertains to Iraq have created a significant challenge in the Middle East.

European Parliament Conference – 10 December 2014

Governor Howard Dean
Former Chairman of the Democratic National Committee

I am not in favor of any negotiations that do not first of all end up with the freedom of the 2500 Iranian prisoners in Iraq.
