The Iraqi government has once again asked the terrorist MKO leaders in Camp Ashraf to end their inhumane and dominance-seeking measures and conducts towards residents of the camp and let them decide their own fates.

It says Iraqi government will do its best to end inhumane conditions of residents of Camp Ashraf.
