Col. Dr. Gary Morsch & Dr. Saleh Mutlak in a conference in Washington DC talk about Ashraf rights

16 September 2009- At a briefing in the US House of Representatives, the Near East Human Rights Initiative (NEHRI) announced plans to send a humanitarian fact-finding mission to Camp Ashraf, Iraq, home to 3,500 Iranian dissidents.
Col. Dr. Gary Morsch, US Army Reservist and President of Heart to Heart International, who chaired the briefing, said, "Having had the privilege of serving in Ashraf, I feel embarrassed that my fellow soldiers simply stood by and did nothing to prevent the carnage at Ashraf. Our government has both the moral and legal obligation to protect the residents of Ashraf. The 36 who have been taken hostage by Iraqi police must be freed."
Dr. Saleh Mutlak, Secretary General of Iraq's National Dialogue Front and a senior member of Iraq's Parliament, remarked, "On behalf of millions of Iraqis, I ask the United States and President Obama to uphold and follow through with US commitment for the safety and security of Ashraf residents in a proper manner."
