A couple of days ago I attended a rally in support of the refugees at CAMP ASHRAF in Iraq. Our church has had a relationship with these guys for years. They are now facing genocide.

Basically you can get the background reading from Wikipedia - its pretty fair.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camp_Ashraf

These folks (3,400 men, women and children, refugees from the Iranian Mullahs) are officially recognized by the authorities as refugees, but there is no political and UN will to step in and save them from the Iraqi government, who is on record as determined to kill them before the end of 2011.

What can you do? Easy.

Make this item go viral on the internet. Forward it to anybody and everybody who has a heart for justice and compassion. That way some journalists and pollies might at last give it the attention and traction it deserves before we see another tragedy.

Don't care? See the Wikipedia link, and think again.
