NCRI – During the afternoon of Monday, March 12th and the morning of Tuesday, March 13th, Iraqi armed forces opened up a 5-meter wide section of Camp Liberty wall and stationed police forces at this location. These checkpoints are at 10-meter distance from the residents’ living and sleeping areas. Therefore, the number of police posts has been increased to seven. This is a clear threat to the residents and paves the way for attacking the residents.
Earlier on February 27th, residents of Ashraf and Liberty in separate letters signed by all of the residents to the UN Secretary-General, his Special Representative and the US Secretary of State had stated the minimum assurances necessary for the transfer of the remaining residents from Ashraf to Liberty, the most important of which was the withdrawal of police and Iraqi armed forces from Liberty vicinity.
The Iranian Resistance stresses that the presence of police and Iraqi armed forces in Liberty’s small area is a source of tension and a preamble for suppression of the residents, and urges the UN and the US government to act immediately for the withdrawal of these forces from Liberty, which is a residential and unarmed location.
