Maryam Rajavi: secret burial of 52 Ashraf martyrs aimed to destroy evidence of crimes

The Jordan-based Addustour daily wrote: The Iraqi government secretly buried the bodies of 52 victims murdered in a mass execution in Ashraf, and this took place despite 164 days of protest from Camp Liberty residents, human rights defenders, and the families to receive their bodies.
Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, declared: “The clandestine burial of the bodies of the martyrs at an unspecified time and an undisclosed location in the absence of members of their families, as well as the absence and even knowledge of the UN representative who had officially received the bodies of the martyrs in Ashraf on September 2, was carried out to destroy the evidence and save the murderers from a trial and punishment for crime against humanity. This is bare proof of the Iraqi government’s complete responsibility for crime against humanity in Ashraf.”
Rajavi again stressed the need for an independent investigation by the International Criminal Court into the mass execution and hostage-taking in Ashraf. She called for the referral of the case to this court by the United Nations Security Council.
In a statement made on December 26th the Iranian Resistance drew on documents and credible evidence from inside Iran to disclose that Maliki is obstructing the announcement of the coroner’s office reports and the handover of the martyrs’ corpses to their families in Camp Liberty.
