Iran, July 28, 2024: In recent days, the MEK Resistance Units, a network of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) inside Iran, commemorated the martyrs of the July 28-29, 2009 attack on Camp Ashraf. The members of the Resistance Units installed posters in various cities. Some of the posters read: “Commemorating the martyrs of the July 2009 massacre in Ashraf,” “We will continue your path,” “We fight, we struggle, we will take back Iran,” “In memory of the martyred MEK fighters on July 28 and 29, 2009,” “By the blood of our comrades, we stand until the end,” and “The cry of the Iranian people, punishment for the murderers.
These activities are taking place while the regime’s repressive security forces are on high alert in Tehran, as well as other cities including Shiraz, Isfahan, Mashhad, Qazvin, Karaj, Lahijan, Fardis, Sabzevar, Shahrud, Ramsar, and Damavand.
It is worth noting that on July 28 and 29, 2009, Iraqi forces under the command of Iran-backed Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki brutally attacked the unarmed and defenseless residents of Camp Ashraf, where members of the Iranian opposition People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) resided. The Iraqi forces murdered 11 Camp Ashraf residents and abducted 36 MEK members. The Iraqi government released the hostages after a widespread international campaign and a 72-day hunger strike by the hostages themselves, hundreds of MEK members in Ashraf, and Iranians across the world.
