International Conference in Paris

Maryam Rajavi

With the resistance of the Mojahedin in Ashraf
and with your support and the efforts of the
noble supporters of the Resistance some of
whom are here in this conference, today, the
world is standing with Ashraf.
The mullahs and their puppets in Iraq
are stinging from their isolation and their
abhorrence by the world. But they have not
desisted from their evil objectives for Ashraf.
So we must increase our struggle for the
protection and rights of Ashraf residents one
hundred fold.
On November 3rd, 42 US Representatives
called on the UN Secretary General to establish
an office of the UNHCR and OHCHR in Ashraf
so they can work in cooperation with UNAMI
and the UN monitoring team in a secure
setting for the asylum of Ashraf residents.
On November 3rd, the UN Representative in
Iraq announced his readiness to use the UN’s
good offices to resolve this crisis.
On November 2nd, the US House Foreign
Relations Committee unanimously adopted
an Amendment emphasizing that the Iraqi
Government must not close Ashraf until
such time that the UNHCR has completed its
processing.
