International Conference: Ashraf under Attack, Residents' Perseverance - April 27 - Paris

The situation at Camp Ashraf, where 34 innocent and defenseless Iranian dissidents in exile were killed and 350 were severely wounded by the Iraqi army on April 8 by orders of Nouri-al- Maliki at behest of the Iranian regime earlier this month, is developing into an even greater humanitarian crisis.
The Iraqi army is now turning the home to 3,400 people, who are protected persons under the Fourth Geneva Convention, into a concentration camp.
In an international conference in Paris on Wednesday, April 27, senior US officials from various US administrations, Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, human rights advocates, prominent US and EU politicians called for immediate intervention of the US and UN for the Iraqi forces to leave Camp Ashraf and to guarantee the protection of Camp Ashraf residents.
The participants include:
• Elie Wiesel, writer, political activist, Nobel Laureate, and Holocaust survivor
• General James Jones, Presidents Obama's National Security Advisor until November 2010
• General Wesley Clark, NATO Supreme Allied Commander (1997-2000), commander of Operation Allied Force in Kosovo War, US Presidential candidate (2004)
• Rep. Patrick Kennedy, son of late Senator Edward Kennedy, member of US Congress (1995-2001)
• Ingrid Betancourt, human rights advocate, French-Colombian national who ran as presidential candidate in Colombia before she was kidnapped and held for 6 years
• Jean-Pierre Spitzer, Lawyer, former legal advisor to French Foreign Ministry
