Last week more than 220 of my colleagues in the European Parliament supported a joint statement regarding members of the main Iranian democratic opposition, the PMOI-MEK, who are refugees living in camps Ashraf and Liberty in Iraq. The declaration urges "the United Nations, United States and the European Union to act immediately to compel Iraq to stop imposing callous restrictions on the residents". This is an important act of solidarity involving MEPs from all nations and all political groups and it must not be ignored.
