For nearly a month , since the Iraqi forces attacked the refugee camp at Ashraf , north of Baghdad , the women of Ashraf went on hunger strike. Many of them were wounded . At least eleven were killed and tens wounded by the clashes with the Iraqi military. Thirty five men were taken prisoners and it is believed that they may be delivered to the Iranian authorities. I call for solidarity with those people who are freedom seekers against dictatorship of the theocratic regime in Iran.
