MADRID - A Spanish court has decided to extend an investigation into murderous raids in 2009, 2011 and 2013 against Iranian refugees camp Ashraf in Iraq to include Faleh al-Fayad, security adviser to the Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. Faleh al-Fayad will be investigated for alleged crimes against the international community as president of the Ashraf Committee under the Prime Minister of Iraq, according to the decision of the Central Court of Instruction of the National Court in Madrid, dated November 21. This investigation comes in the wake of a complaint filed against him as a person responsible for serious breaches of the Fourth Geneva Convention for his alleged involvement in the killings on April 8, 2011, and September 1, 2013, of protected persons under the Fourth Geneva Convention living in Camp Ashraf, according to the decision. In response to this decision of the Spanish court, the president of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI ), Maryam Rajavi called on Iranian dissidents on hunger strike in Iraq and around the world to stop their action. With the opening of the judicial proceedings against those responsible for crimes against humanity, the international campaign for the release of hostages and the protection of Camp Liberty (near Baghdad) will continue with even more force until it is ultimately resolved, Mrs Rajavi said in a statement.
