British parliamentarians hold a conference in the House of Commons

Citing the International Human Rights Day, a cross-party British parliamentarians from both Houses of Parliament held a conference in the House of Commons discussing the state of human rights and the current political situation in Iran, the region as well as a recent 
terrorist attack on Camp Liberty.

In her remarks to the conference, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of 
Iran (NCRI), Mrs Maryam Rajavi , thanked the MPs from both Houses of Parliament for their efforts to promote human rights in Iran and said ”The mullahs’ brutality in violating our people’s rights is because they want to hold on to power. It’s because the people of Iran … have not surrendered to this barbarism [and] staged a widespread resistance against the regime. Every month, teachers, students, workers and other strata stage hundreds of protests. Every day, the protests become louder. Even political prisoners send messages from inside the jails calling on people to resist … [these] protests have inspired many uprisings so far will ultimately realise the great change and make Iran the cradle of human rights and freedom.”
On Camp Liberty, Mrs Rajavi said, “Since 2009, 141 PMOI members have been killed and hundreds more, seriously wounded or disabled in these attacks … It is time for US and UN to fulfill their promise and make sure residents are allowed to sell their property at Camp Ashraf to finance their relocation.”

MPs also condemned the seventh deadly attack on members of the Iranian opposition, the PMOI, in Camp Liberty, Iraq, at the behest of Tehran regime, when 80 rockets hit the camp and killed 24 camp residents and critically injured many more. This major terrorist attack comes simultaneous with regime’s Security Organs arresting family member of political prisoners and the PMOI inside Iran.
