Ashraf residents fight for Saddam and Baathi people, not Iranian people. Shame on MKO, filthy people.

Ashraf residents do not want to leave because they are loyal to their beliefs, because they would die for their people, because their passion is freedom, because they are not retards like you who sit around and criticize other people while in the comfort of their house they think they are fighting for the cause. So listen you mullah loving ahmadinejad supporting mercenary, ashrafis are doing more for their country than you would ever dream of.

HEY ASSHOLE :

they cant go back to their country of residence, because they will obviously be tortured and executed. Many of them can't leave to go to other countries because they dont have citizenship or visas in other countries. Also, many of them want to stay because if they leave it will look like they gave up and left. That sends a message to the Iranian Regime telling them that Mojahedin is done and over with.

and last but not least try to get your facts straight about things before you open your mouth.

[alipinkfloyd]

if anyone should be on trial for the crimes against humanity is the iranian regime who is killing these defenceless human beings in this camp. this issue is not regarding the political beliefs of one group or another it is now a humanitarian issue.

Human beings are members of a whole, In creation of one essence and soul. If one member is afflicted with pain, Other members uneasy will remain. If you have no sympathy for human pain, The name of human you cannot retain.

Every single camp ashraf resident has been interview by the U.S Forces and has been asked f they want to leave this camp to go to their country of residence, as a matter of fact even now anyone is free to leave this camp if they wish to, there has been people who have left the camp in the past.

camp ashraf residents are brainwashed sheep used by rajavi's to get sympathy an dpublic attention , rajavi should be on trial for crimes against humanity by forcing residents to stay in iraq when most have residence permits in other countries

[azadiDARiran]

Thanks for this, I ask why is Obama keeping silent? What reason does he have to keep silent if it is not getting friendly with the terrorists in Iran?!?!?

[TheHanifali]

I'm surprised that white house have been ignoring this for a month now. Shouldn't the press start putting questions now?

Over 3000 human are on hunger strike for over 30 days in Four Continents. Why mainstream media don't report this?
