BAGHDAD — Iraq’s government voted Monday to shut down a camp of Iranian dissidents and move them out of the country by year’s end, following a deadly raid on the compound by government forces last week.
Government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said Iraq will not deport the People’s Mujahedeen Organization of Iran back to Iran, but would not say what might happen if the group refuses to leave Camp Ashraf in Diyala province where they have lived for decades.
Predawn clashes Friday between Iraqi soldiers and the exiles left at least 12 dead and 39 exiles wounded, officials said.
