"Mr President, last night Hamid Rabi, a 52-year-old political refugee with permanent residency in Germany, died of injuries sustained in the vicious rocket attack which took place on 9 February 2013 on Camp Liberty in Bagdad. He was the eighth victim to die as a result of that cowardly assault; another ten were dismembered, over 90 were seriously injured. All of us in this Chamber are responsible for those deaths and injuries. The EU, the UN and the US bullied and cajoled the 3 100 Iranian asylum seekers and refugees to abandon their relative safety of Camp Ashraf and move to the prison-like conditions of Camp Liberty.
We guaranteed their safety and we deceived them. We sent them to a death camp. The 3 100 defenceless refugees are now crushed into a compound of only half a square kilometre in size, forced to live in squalid and unsanitary conditions, in flimsy caravans. They were seating ducks when 45 rockets were fired in a tight trajectory during the hours of darkness, hitting the area where the maximum number of people was sleeping.
This was no random terrorist attack. It was a professionally executed military operation. The rockets were fired from only 3 km distance, well within the military compound that surrounds Camp Liberty. There is no doubt the operation was ordered by the Iranian regime and was carried out with the close cooperation of the Iraqi Government. It will not be the last attack. Now, although five weeks have passed since that brutal incidence, the Iraqi Government has still not allowed body armour or even hard hats into Camp Liberty. They are being set up for annihilation and we, through our silence and our reluctance to intervene, are complicit in this crime."@en1
