The statement called for “taking urgent steps to put an end for the psychological torture
of the residents of the Camp and to prevent aggressions against their installations and
properties, as well as the restoration of their stolen properties.”
“The said acts are taking place at a time when the anti-Ashraf Camp Committee bans,
since 22 months, the importation of building, construction and electricity materials for
Ashraf Camp,” the statement said.
Aswat al-Iraq has failed to contact the Iraqi government to comment on the charges as
outlined in the statement.
The anti-Tehran Mujahedin E-Khalq Organization is based in Ashraf Camp in northeast
Iraq’s Diala Province as its main headquarters, since the transfer of its command to Iraq
in 1985, where it enjoyed support by the former Baath regime, launching attacks against
Iran.
After Iraq’s U.S.-led occupation, the U.S. Army had disarmed the Organization’s
members, but allowed them to stay in their base that was placed under American
protection, despite charging them to be a “terrorist” organization.
After the signing of the Security Agreement between Iraq and the U.S. at the end of last
year, the Iraqi government took over the responsibility of Ashraf Camp, provided that
the U.S. forces would stay in it till its final withdrawal from Iraq, according to the
Agreement.
Ashraf Camp is situated in al-Udheim area of Khalis township, 15 km to the north of
Baaquba, the center of Diala Province, which is 57 km to the northeast of Baghdad.
