Former Italian Foreign Minister Giulio Terzi has condemned the October 29 terrorist rocket attack on members of the Iranian opposition PMOI (MEK) in Camp Liberty, Iraq, which left at least 23 residents killed and dozens wounded.
In a statement on Thursday, Mr. Terzi said:
Dear Friends,
The atrocious criminal attack which has once again been directed this afternoon against the Iranian refugees PMOI in Camp Liberty is a horror which must be condemned in the strongest way and bring the immediate reaction of the international community.
The authors of this new crime against humanity are the same of the previous massacres and are directed by the same masters in Baghdad and in Teheran. Even the motives which lead the Iranian theocracy remain the same: the ‘ethnic cleansing’ of all the opponents and dissidents.
The message of the Iranian terror should be heard loud and clear in Washington and in all European Capitals: as soon as the invitation to join once again in another negotiation, this time on Syria, had been announced, the unwise decision has immediately reinforced the regime’s conviction that its terrorist strategies can be fully implemented without the slightest fear of retribution. What is happening today in Camp Liberty is a declaration of war against all rules and laws protecting refugees and people in need. It is an ominous warning that no difference exists between terror perpetrated by the Islamic State of Daesh (ISIS, ISIL) and the Islamic State of Iran.
In this very sad night of mourning the many friends of PMOI around the world join the families of the victims and all the heroes of the Iranian Resistance, with close solidarity and their prayers.
Giulio Terzi
