The People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran, or PMOI, is an Iranian opposition movement that has existed since 1965 and, due to the current Iranian regime’s systematic persecution of its members from 1981 onwards, has had a significant presence in neighboring Iraq since 1986.
Despite its good relationship with the majority of Iraqi people, the PMOI has come under increasing pressure from the Iraqi Government that succeeded Saddam Hussein’s regime in 2003, due to the Iranian regime’s overbearing influence on the new political leadership in Baghdad.
Since the 2003 liberation of Iraq, the PMOI members in Camps Liberty and Ashraf have suffered physical and psychological abuse at the hands of both the Iraqi Government and militia groups armed and funded by the Iranian regime.
This report examines the most recent, and the most deadly, attack on Camp Ashraf. On 1 September 2013, armed men entered the camp and systematically killed 52 residents – more than half of the remaining population – and abducted seven others, who have not been seen or heard from since that time.
In the interests of justice, this report seeks to identify the perpetrators of that massacre, in the hope that they will one day soon be held accountable by the international community for their crimes against humanity. It is also hoped that the findings contained in this report will motivate Western governments, NGOs and international bodies to take swift and effective action against these perpetrators, and to the benefit of the survivors and their colleagues at Camp Liberty.
