URGENT APPEAL: Take control of the camp Ashraf before the residents are transferred to an EU country
Hon. Ban Ki-moon
Secretary-General
United Nations
Dear Secretary-General,
Camp Ashraf in Iraq is residence to 3,400 members of the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI) who have built it during the last 23 years. Following occupation of Iraq, in 2004, the residents of Ashraf were recognized as 'protected persons' under the Fourth Geneva Convention. The deadly attacks on defenseless Ashraf residents in July 2009 - carried out by the Iraqi forces - have made the situation in Ashraf into an international humanitarian issue.
