Tribune de Geneve, 19 Sep 2013 – Attack against Camp Ashraf: Bernard Kouchner accuses the Iraqi premier.
The former French foreign minister believes Nouri Maliki is the source of the operation that lead to the killing of 52 people in a camp of Iranian exiles.
Former French foreign minister Bernard Kouchner was in Geneva this morning and participated in a conference supporting Iranian dissidents in the National Council of Resistance of Iran.
Bernard Kouchner had joined Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance, to condemn the inaction of the United Nations and United States following the deadly September 1 attack against Camp Ashraf in Iraq.
52 residents were executed by a military force that followed them even into a surgery room.
This is a crime against humanity that the former French minister had come to France to condemn alongside numerous other dignitaries. From Bernard Kouchner’s point of view this ‘barbarism’ is a ‘crime of a premier and a state’. He directly accused Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki of being in accomplice with Iran, which is suspected of ordering this operation.
Now seven other Camp Ashraf residents are imprisoned by Iraqi forces and are in danger of being extradited to Iran. Such an extradition will be the signing of their death sentences.
NCRI President-elect Maryam Rajavi called on the UN and UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay to place their utmost efforts to save the lives of these seven hostages.
