                       UN spokesman calling for Member States to accept
                                  Liberty residents as refugees

FOX News, 19 July 2014 –“The United Nations is promising to relocate some prominent opponents of the regime in Iran. With the chaos unfolding in Iraq followers of the group, the Council of Resistance of Iran, fear they could be attacked again at their compound in Baghdad. That is Camp Liberty or Camp Hurriya. We have reported on the plight of the nearly 3,000 people that live there. The group says the Iraqi military has killed over 100 people in several assaults on their camp so far and they charge those attacks were ordered by Tehran. 
FOX News: “…Officials says the United States government has helped relocate some of the residents to other countries like Albania and Germany. Now a spokesman for UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says more needs to be done and the UN is calling on other nations to take all the residents in as refugees to help save their lives.”
“The Secretary-General appeals to Member States to contribute to a durable solution for the relocation of Camp Hurriya residents outside of Iraq and come forward with offers with to accept residents into their territories. So that’s part of the latest report to the Security Council,” said Farhan Haq, UNSG Deputy Spokesman. 
FOX News: “One of the group’s advisors from the US Army, Colonel Wesley Martin, said in a statement to FOX News, ‘We have requested the UN to send a team to be stationed at Liberty permanently. But, this has not taken place…We need a blue helmet team to be stationed there and need a constant monitoring given the risks facing the residents.”
“So far the group that hasn’t happened and the last time they said the UN officials visited the camp was a month ago. They say that leaves those people unprotected. So far it says 116 of its members have been killed in attacks by Iraqi forces.”
