A Labour peer has accused U.S Foreign Secretary David Miliband of maintaining a shameful silence on attacks on Iranian dissidents at a camp in Iraq. British Parliamentary Committee for Iran Freedom Chairman Lord Corbett hit out in a strongly-worded open letter. More than three thousand people live in the Camp Ashraf and supporters say several died in a raid by Iraqi security forces. Those at the camp, which was previously under US control, are members of an exiled Iranian opposition group, the People's Mujahadeen of Iran. Their relatives and friends have been demonstrating outside the US Embassy in London for 60 days. Several are on hunger strike. <br/>
