British MPs call for international protection
for Camp Liberty following the 5th missile attack
Camp Liberty, the residence of members of
Iran's democratic opposition, the PMOI, near Baghdad's International Airport,
came under a heavy missile attack on Monday, July 4, at 20:35 local time. Parts
of the camp was destroyed in the subsequent fire and several camp residents
were injured.
Today's attack is the fifth missile attack on
Camp Liberty and its residents since 2012. According to reports, Iraqi militia
forces supported by Tehran's terrorist Quds-force are behind Monday's attack.
The residents' peril continues as the Iraqi forces have reportedly imposed a
siege on the camp and prevent entry of the fuel, food and medicine.
The British Parliamentary Committee for Iran
Freedom (BPCIF), in two statements last year, warned of new efforts by Tehran
to use its political influence and proxies in Iraq to attack Camp Liberty in an
effort to eliminate its opposition. The statements called on the UK government
to take urgent actions with the EU, the U.S. and at the UN Security Council to
secure adequate protection for these defenceless refugees.
Sir David Amess MP, the co-chairman of BPCIF,
condemned today's attack and added, “This rocket attack is a stark reminder of
the threat against these defenceless refugees and make the case of an immediate
international intervention to provide them with safety and security. The
impunity for those responsible for today's and previous deadly attacks on Camp
Liberty must end and the international community must bring them to justice.”
The British Parliamentary Committee for Iran
Freedom (BPCIF) strongly condemns today's attack on Camp Liberty and reiterates
its earlier calls on the UK government to act in cooperation with its
international partners, in particular the U.S., to ensure adequate protection
for the camp residents and an end to the inhumane siege imposed on the camp
until such time they all leave Iraq for third countries.
