MPs, jurists worldwide condemn Iraqi forces’ attack against Ashraf residents

The wave of international condemnations continues against the Iraqi forces’ vicious Monday attack on Ashraf residents during the inspections of the 6th convoy headed to Liberty. 

Dr. Rita Süssmuth, former president of the German Federal Parliament Bundestag, the International Committee of Jurists in Defense of Ashraf representing 8,500 jurists from around the world, the International-Parliamentary Campaign in Defense of Ashraf and Klaus Bresser, former chief editor of German 2. TV ZDF, issued statements strongly condemning the Iraqi forces’ violence against Ashraf residents.

Criticizing and protesting UNAMI’s inaction vis-à-vis these illegal measures and flagrant aggressions, these dignitaries and societies stressed that the Iraqi government’s aggressive measures against Iranian regime dissidents have raised international abhorrence. They emphasized the UN and US government have the obligation to condemn these violent measures and use all means at their proposal to prevent any similar reoccurrence.
