Iran Resistance: The scale of support for Ashraf City derives from its perseverance

Thursday, 23 November 2006

NCRI – An interview with Behzad Naziri, member of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, was broadcast on November 17 on the Swiss television regarding the large support of European parliamentarians for the People’s Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI) in Ashraf City in Iraq. The following is the text of his comments:

The members of the PMOI in Ashraf City are protected by the Fourth Geneva Convention, a status that the International Committee of the Red Cross recognized. In spite of everything and contrary to international standards and laws, the Iranian regime seeks to expel them from Iraq. Parliamentarians from various European countries voiced their support for the PMOI and its presence in Iraq.

The scale of this support derives from the fact that, despite all the problems and obstacles, they (PMOI) persevere without losing hope.
