On the declaration by the majority of UK’s elected representatives in support of the Iranian Resistance
The initiative by the majority of United Kingdom’s elected representatives in support of the Iranian Resistance for freedom and democracy is a commendable step towards the adoption of a responsible policy vis-a-vis the Iranian regime and the entire Middle East. In light of the Iranian regime's nefarious role in the crisis in the region, this initiative has also addressed the interests of the people of the region, the people of Europe and the world, in general.
On behalf of the Iranian people and Resistance, I would like to appreciate your efforts in support of the Iranian people's freedom and human rights as well as your support for the safety and security of the freedom fighters in Camp Liberty.
Also let me congratulate you for officially registering the British Parliamentary Committee for Iran Freedom in the British Parliament. There is no doubt this has been a great achievement and a result of all your tireless efforts and the enduring support by the honorable elected members of the UK parliament for Iranian resistance movement throughout many years.
The Rt. Hon. David Jones, former Senior Government Minister and Chairman of the British Parliamentary Committee for Iran Freedom (BPCIF), met with Maryam Rajavi in Auvers-sur-Oise, France, following the declaration of support by the majority of members of the British House of Commons and a large number from the House of Lords, for the Iranian Resistance for democracy and freedom, in June 2016.
On behalf of UK elected representatives, Mr. Jones presented the declaration to Maryam Rajavi.
Mrs. Rajavi expressed her gratitude for the initiative describing it as a commendable measure towards adoption of a responsible policy vis-à-vis the Iranian regime and the entire Middle East.

Camp Liberty near Baghdad airport where Iranian dissident, members of the PMOI/MEK live in, came under heavy missile attack at half past 7 o’clock evening on Thursday, October 29, 2015. Preliminary reports indicate that more than 80 missiles have hit the camp killing in injuring dozens.
At least 23 members of the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran, PMOI (Mujahedin-e Khalq, MEK) are confirmed to have been killed in the terrorist attack while more than two dozen others are seriously injured.
The bodies of two martyred MEK members have been beyond any recognition.
Reports indicate that a number of trailers where the residents live have been totally destroyed and or burnt.
Maryam Rajavi strongly condemned the heavy missile attack this evening on Camp Liberty and declared: The government of Iraq and the United Nations who signed a Memorandum of Understanding and built a Temporary Transit Location (TTL) since 2011, are formally and legally accountable for this attack. In our view, however, as was the case in the six previous bloodbaths in Ashraf and Liberty, the Iranian regime’s agents in the government of Iraq are responsible for this attack and the United States and the United Nations are well aware of this fact.
Missile attack condemning
UNHCR issued a statement strongly condemning the rocket attacks in the vicinity of Baghdad International Airport, which have also hit adjacent Camp Liberty, reportedly causing injuries to dozens of people of concern and some 20 deaths.
The United States strongly condemns today’s brutal, senseless terrorist attack on Camp Hurriya that killed and injured camp residents. Our condolences go out to the families of the victims, and we hope for the swift recovery of those injured
Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Rep. Ed Royce (R-CA), Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, issued the following statement on the recent attack on Camp Liberty:
“Today’s reported attack, yet another deadly assault on civilians in Camp Liberty, is deeply troubling. The Iraqi government must provide immediate aid to the wounded and
“Today, Camp Liberty in Iraq once again came under attack when dozens of missiles rained down over the camp. Reports indicate that more than a dozen people are dead and that number will likely grow. Camp Liberty has been attacked several times before with no action from our State Department. Secretary Kerry has promised we are doing all we can. But those empty promises have delivered nothing, and more people are dead today. Our government must recognize that we have failed to protect the Camp as we have promised to do.
ritish MPs condemn the deadly missile attack on Camp Liberty resulting in death of 20 camp residents.
We were just informed that there was yet another rocket attack on Camp Liberty, where members of Iran's democratic opposition, the PMOI, were forced to move in 2012 after assurances of protection by the UN and the US government. And yet we were waiting to see these promises to be fulfilled when this 4th deadly attack on Camp Liberty took place this evening local time, (29 October 2015).
The International Parliamentary Campaign in Defence of Ashraf and Liberty (IPCDA) is appalled by the news this afternoon of the 4th deadly rocket attack on Camp Liberty, Iraq, that lead to 23 residents dead and scores of others severely injured.
The dire situation of Camp Liberty and the threat the residents are facing has been known to us since they were moved from Camp Ashraf in 2012. There were 3 previous attacks on Camp Liberty leading to death of 14 residents. We were promised proper investigation in all those attacks but the UN and the U.S. government have failed to live up to their promises. And when the perpetrators of such heinous acts were not held responsible, further attacks were certain to happen.
