Iraq has released 36 Iranians who had been imprisoned for nearly three months in Baghdad.

The hostages were members of the People’s Mujahadeen Iranian Organisation, PMOI.

The PMOI are a pro-democratic group of 3,500, fighting the regime in Iran.

They were forced into exile over 20 years ago and have lived at a refugee facility, Camp Ashraf, ever since.

The 36 hostages were captured in a raid on the camp in July and jailed on the grounds they had entered the country illegally.

2SER's Rosie Lewis spoke with the secretary of the Sydney Peace and Justice Coalition, Peter Murphy, about what lies ahead for the people of Camp Ashraf.
