PHOTOS: A crime against humanity - Massacre at Camp Ashraf

NCRI - Tuesday marks the second anniversary of the Camp Ashraf massacre. Iraqi forces at the behest of the mullahs' regime in Iran murdered in cold blood 52 unarmed and defenseless Iranian dissidents, all members of Iran’s main opposition group People’s Mojahedin 


Organization of Iran, PMOI (Mujahedin-e Khalq, MEK). A group of seven camp residents, including six women, were abducted by the Iraqi forces. The following are shocking images of the massacre captured by eye-witnesses at the scene.Despite the sheer brutality of the massacre and the chorus of international condemnations, no United Nations investigation was ever conducted and no one was ever held to account even though from the outset the identities of the masterminds and main culprits were evident.Over the past two years, 


the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) has repeatedly called on the UN Secretary-General and the High Commissioner for Human Rights to conduct an independent and comprehensive investigation into the September 1, 2013 massacre and to bring the culprits to justice and not to allow Nuri Maliki and Ali Khamenei (the Iranian regime’s Supreme Leader) to cover up this great crime against humanity.

Former Cop Arrested for Mexican Journalist's Killing



MEXICO CITY- A 24-year-old former police officer was arrested over the weekend in connection with the killings of photojournalist Ruben Espinosa and four women in Mexico City last month, the Federal District Attorney's Office said.

"Police investigators managed today, Sunday, to arrest a person identified as Abraham Torres Tranquilino for his presumed role in the incidents mentioned," Federal District Attorney Rodolfo Rios said in a statement.

Torres, a Mexico City resident, worked for the Federal District Public Safety Secretariat and has a prior criminal record, Rios said.

The former officer was remanded to a court for torture and later convicted of abuse of authority, the DA said.

"He was sentenced to a term of four years and eight months in prison, winning his release on Oct. 29, 2012," Rios said.

Torres's photograph is not being released due to a request from the Federal District Human Rights Commission and prosecutors expect to determine the extent of his role in the slayings by Tuesday, Rios said.

A judge will determine what Torres's level of criminal responsibility is in the case, the DA said.

The bodies of Espinosa and the four women were found with gunshot wounds and signs of torture inside an apartment in the central Mexico City neighborhood of Narvarte on July 31.

Both Espinosa and human rights activist Nadia Vera, one of the female victims, had received threats in Veracruz.

The 31-year-old Espinosa, who was working for the Cuartoscuro photo agency and the Proceso newsweekly, had returned to Mexico City in June after eight years as a journalist in Xalapa, capital of the Gulf state of Veracruz.

Espinosa said he had been forced to flee due to death threats and harassment, friends and colleagues said.

A few days before he was killed, Espinosa expressed concern that he was being pursued by someone in the capital, Cuartoscuro director Pedro Valtierra told EFE last month.

A total of 102 journalists were murdered between 2000 and 2014 in Mexico, making it one of the most dangerous countries in the world for members of the media, the Special Prosecutor's Office for Crimes against Freedom of Expression, or FEADLE, said.
