Statement of majority of Jordan’s Parliament on situation in Ashraf and Liberty,
 2012-06-13

By 120,000 political executions and continued systematic torture and barbaric punishments,
the Iranian regime has been the solemn violator of human rights in the past three decades.
Political dissidents, intellectuals, youths, women, religious and ethnic minorities have been under severe repression and according to Amnesty International the number of executions in Iran in 2011 have doubled compared to the previous years.
By active participation in Syrians’ slaughter, widespread meddling in Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine and throughout the Middle East and by strive to access nuclear bomb in breach of Security Council’s declarations, the Iranian rulers are the primary source of destabilization and insecurity in the region and the world.
The Iranian regime intends to annihilate its opposition in Camp Ashraf before the downfall of Bashar Assad and change of the current power balance. The Iraqi proxies of Iranian regime have already attacked Ashraf twice in 2009 and 2011 and left 47 dead and more than 1000 wounded.
In the end of 2011, due to Iraqi government pressures and the fact that it did not let UNHCR conduct its refugee reaffirmation process of the residents in Ashraf to relocate them to third countries, an agreement between the UN and GOI for the relocation of the residents inside Iraq was signed.
Despite their legal rights to stay in Ashraf, the residents, upon Mrs. Rajavi, the president-elect of the resistance, recommendation and to provide an opportunity for a peaceful resolution, accepted and implemented relocation to Camp Liberty.
Camp Liberty lacks any humanitarian and human rights standards. Presence of Iraqi armed forces in this small camp, lack of freedom of movement, serious deficiencies of infrastructure such as water, electricity, sewage, stony environment and not allowing construction building pavements are part of Liberty’s difficulties. Inhuman pressure during the relocation, blocking transfer of most of residents’ movable properties, especially their vehicles have added to these difficulties.
While condemning violation of Iranian dissidents’ rights in Ashraf and Liberty,
1. Call on the UN and the US to compel the Iraqi government to stop violation of commitments and enforcing inhuman restrictions on the residents and remove armed forces and armored vehicles from Camp Liberty.
2. Call on the UN and UNHCR to recognize Camp Liberty as a refugee camp under international protection
3. Ask the EU member states and our government to accept a large number of Liberty residents to reside in third countries in Europe and in our country.
