Camp Liberty: Obstructing handover the body and burial of PMOI member Mr. Ali Salari

62 days ago he lost his life to the criminal medical blockade of Camp Liberty

It is 62 days now that in an anti-human measure, agents under the command of Faleh Fayyad, National security advisor to the Government of Iraq at Camp Liberty are obstructing the body of PMOI member Ali Salari from being handed over and buried. He passed away on February 4, 2015 due to the criminal and anti-human medical blockade. He was the 24th member of the PMOI who was tormented to death because of the medical blockade imposed on Ashraf and Camp Liberty.
Preventing the burial of Ali Salari is despite the fact that all administrative and legal procedures are complete and had it not been because of stonewalling by Iraqi agents, he would have been buried in the very first week that he passed away.
Sadeq Mohammed Kadhim and Ahmed Khozeir who are tasked by Faleh Fayyad to manage Camp Liberty are psychologically torturing the families and residents of Camp Liberty by preventing the handover and burial of the corpses. The body of Mr. Bardia Amir Mostofian who lost his life in the compulsory relocation to Camp Liberty was handover only after 11 months and the bodies of the four martyrs of the December 26, 2013 rocket attack on Camp Liberty were buried eight months later only after innumerable complaints and referrals.
In the past 62 days, residents’ representatives and legal advisors have referred over 60 times to the police headquarters at Camp Liberty to receive the body of Ali Salari and conduct the burial. Moreover, in many meetings and phone calls they have asked UNAMI and its monitors to resolve this matter. Additionally, residents’ Arab lawyers have wrote numerous letters to the U.S. embassy or have called UNAMI and UNHCR to request this burial, but up till now they have received no reply from the Iraqi agencies, the UNAMI monitors, or the other institutions.
The Iranian Resistance calls on the UN Secretary-General, the High Commissioner for Refugees, the High Commissioner for Human Rights, and the U.S. officials to take immediate steps to end these kinds of anti-human treatments that violate many international covenants that demand respect for the bodies of the dead.
