BAN DEPLORES ATTACK ON IRANIAN EXILE CAMP NORTH OF BAGHDAD
New York, Sep 1 2013 4:00PM
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon today condemned an attack on an Iranian
exile camp near the Iraqi capital of Baghdad, and urged the Government
to launch an investigation into what happened.

"The Secretary-General deplores the tragic events in Camp Ashraf today
that have reportedly left 47 killed," his spokesperson said in a
<"http://www.un.org/sg/statements/index.asp?nid=7052">statement. "He
expresses his sorrow and extends his deepest condolences to the
families of the victims."

Iraqi authorities have confirmed that medical support is being
delivered to the Camp, according to the UN Assistance Mission for Iraq
(UNAMI).

Camp Ashraf is comprised of Iranian exiles, many of them members of a
group known as the People's Mojahedeen of Iran.

More than 3,000 residents have been relocated to a transit facility
know as Camp Liberty while the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) carries out a
process to determine their refugee status, and resettle them outside
of the country, in line with an agreement signed in December 2011
between the UN and the Iraqi Government.

This resettlement is a priority for UNAMI, in whose work Mr. Ban
reiterated that he has "full support for and his absolute confidence".

The UN mission said it intends to rapidly conduct it own assessment of
the violence.

In today's statement, Mr. Ban urged the Government to restore security
in the Camp and stressed that it is its responsibility to "ensure the
safety and security" of the residents.

He also called for the Government of Iraq to promptly investigate the
incident and disclose the findings.
