NCRI's Statements Kidnapping a PMOI member with the cause of a suspicious car accident 3km from Camp Liberty

Referring the case of an Iranian refugee to the Iranian embassy in Baghdad by the investigative judge is a clear breach of the international law

Call on the US and UN for the immediate release of PMOI member Safar Zakery who has been in detention for the past two weeks

All of the Iraqi officials’ daily promises in the past two weeks regarding the release of this prisoner have proven to be hollow

In the morning of Monday, 16 March 20 15, Mr. Safar Zakery, who has been a Camp Liberty septic truck driver for the past 3 years, was on his way back to the camp after emptying his truck, and while he was accompanied by an Iraqi police officer in the truck, his truck was hit by an Iraqi SWAT unit HUMVEE.

The HUMVEE was driving at an illegal speed of 60 km/h, and at a turn derailed to the left side of the road and collided head on with Mr. Zakery’s truck. Mr. Zakery was driving at a speed of 20 km/h and was on the far right side of the road and suffered serious damages.

IRAN DIGS IN AGAINST IAEA AND US AS FRAMEWORK DEADLINE LOOMS

INU- In absence of clear evidence of progress toward a nuclear agreement before the March 31 framework deadline, doubts will surely remain about whether negotiators are truly any closer to closing off all Iranian pathways to a nuclear weapon. After all, evidence already exists to contradict that notion, indicating that Iran remains intransigent on at least some aspects of its nuclear program.

For instance, the Times of India reported on Tuesday that the International Atomic Energy Agency had once again called for greater Iranian cooperation with its probe into the possible military dimensions of its nuclear work. At the beginning of the negotiating process, it was assumed that Western powers would base some of their decision making on the outcome of this probe, but the probe has made very little progress, according to IAEA head Yukiya Amano.

Furthermore, Iranian officials have insisted that the probe has nothing to do with the negotiations. And the Associated Press reported on Tuesday that Tehran has also again flatly refused to accept snap inspections of its nuclear work, in response to Amano’s call for dramatically expanded IAEA access in order to answer crucial questions about what the regime may be hiding.

IRAN: Relatives of victims of 1988 massacre of political prisoner prevented from paying homage to loved ones

NCRI - Members of families and relatives of the victims of 1988 massacre of political prisoners and those killed by the Iranian regime in the 1980s were banned from paying homage to their loved ones at their burial site outside Tehran.

The state security forces and agents of the Iranian regime’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security prevented the families from holding a gathering that traditionally is held on the last Friday of the ending Iranian year at the burial site in Khavaran cemetery.

The forces closed off roads leading to the cemetery and harassed those intending to attend the gathering.

In the summer of 1988, the Iranian regime summarily and extrajudicially executed tens of thousands of political prisoners held in jails across Iran.

White House facing pressure to confront Iran regime

Yemeni protesters support of the 'Firmness Storm' operations

As chaos and bloodshed have spread in the Middle East the White House is facing heavy pressure from its traditional Sunni Arab allies, Congress and some in the U.S. military to confront Iran more forcefully over its support for militant groups, the Washington Post reports.

Although the U.S. has supported the Saudi-led attacks in Yemen with intelligence and logistical help, and in Iraq, has pressured Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi to disentangle Iranian-backed groups from government forces in exchange for the firepower of U.S. warplanes over the city of Tikrit, the critics of Administration believe the push to confront the Iranian regime has come too late.

Some former senior U.S. military commanders, meanwhile, said they have been warning for years of the need to do more to deal with what they see as Iran’s efforts to sow chaos through its armed proxies, the Post reported.

Rajavi urged for the thorough expansion of this just and legitimate defense against religious fascism in Iran and its mercenaries throughout the region including Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen.

According to a statement published by the National Council of Resistance of Iran, Maryam Rajavi said the root cause of the crises in the region is the Iranain regime which is recognized as the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.

Rajavi added that the only viable solution is firmness against this regime, its eviction from the region, and the toppling of the clerical regime in Iran.
