IRAQ AND CAMP LIBERTY

Early day motion 343, tabled 12 September 2014 by Sir David Amess (Conservative). Signed by 113 members.

That this House believes that Iran's theocratic regime is the source of the spread of terrorism and barbaric extremism in Iraq and region; concurs with the President-elect of the Iranian Resistance Maryam Rajavi's advice that the UK should urge the ending of the Iranian theocratic regime meddling in the affairs of Iraq, Syria and other countries in the region, the formation of a democratic, inclusive, secular government in Iraq and the organisation of free and fair elections under the auspices of international organisations; further believes that the rejection of Iran's intervention by the new Iraqi government is vital for the promotion of democracy in that country and that a good indication of this is the way it treats Ashraf residents now at Camp Liberty near Baghdad; and urges the government of Iraq to lift the current inhumane siege on the camp, recognising this camp as a UN refugee camp and guarantee the safety, security and the rights of its residents.

Signatures by party: Labour 53, Conservative 26, Liberal Democrat 19, DUP 7, Independent 2, Plaid Cymru 2, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2, Alliance 1, Scottish National Party 1.
