Iranians in 8 cities around the world have been on Hunger Strike in support of 36 residents of Camp Ashraf,who were abducted by Iraqi forces while wounded in a bruatl attack on 28 July. The 36 Hostages are still on Hunger Strike.Reports suggest that Hossein Sarv-Azad, one of the 36 hostages who had spent nine years in mullahs’ jails as a political prisoner and now on hunger strike, fainted as he was being interrogated by the Judge. Police had to take him to the hospital in Khalis.
Although their conditions has been estimated highly critical, the Iraqi Interior Ministry has refused to released them despite a judgment passed by the Judge of their innocence.
This change accrued after Manouchehr Mottaki, mullahs’ Foreign Minister, asked Maliki to prevent release of the 36. Mottaki asked Kazemi Qomi, Tehran’s ambassador to Baghdad and a veteran member of the terrorist Quds Force, to make necessary arrangements to put pressure on these individuals to break them down and convince them not to want to go back to Camp Ashraf.
Tehran seems to be focused in taking hold of these hostages or if not detain their releases so that in time they would face a Humanitarian tragedy.
Considering that every single one of the 36 have been recognized as ‘Protected Person’ under the Fourth Geneva Convention by the U.S. Government and the Multi-National Force-Iraq (MNF-I) and were issued with the Protected Person’s I.D. cards in 2004:
