NCRI- A group of Iraqi Shiite and Sunni human rights activists from across Iraq, in a press conference in Rome testified on Iranian regime's terrorist activities in Iraq and called on the European community to intervene and defend human rights in their country, particularly the rights of women, Italian news agency ANSA reported on Friday.

Five Iraqi women activists from Iraqi National Accord led by former Prime Minister Dr. Ayad Allawi and other political and human rights groups condemned the terror and violence by the Iranian-backed paramilitary groups in Iraq, the report added.

"There are at least 30 Iranians, members of Iraq's National Assembly sitting in the parliament to protect Iranian regime's interest in our country," said Ms. Abdolghader a member of Tikrit city council in the conference.

Fa'eze'h Abidi, President of the Iraqi National Accord's Women's Movement said, ''The Iranians infiltrated Iraq to gain control over the country's oil resources and the holy shrines. Moreover, they occupy the country to oust the Iranian resistance movement who have are refugees in Iraq," ANSA added.

Mona Adnan-Hossein, whose father and husband, Sunnis, were killed before her eyes said she lives in fear of Iranian militias.

''Women can not leave home without the fear of being raped and murdered. About a month ago 10 women were killed in Basra, the government has done nothing to find those responsible and even a peaceful demonstration against the murders was suppressed without any explanation," she said.
