„I deplore the tragic loss of life of residents of Camp Ashraf yesterday and call on the Iraqi Government and the responsible Iraqi authorities to shed full light on the circumstances of the death of the residents and to bring to justice those responsible. The inquiry must be swift and thorough and assign clear responsibilities.
