The remaining members of the Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization aka MKO have been evicted from Camp Ashraf in Iraq’s eastern Diyala Province and been moved to Camp Liberty ,a base near the capital, Baghdad on September 11,2013 .
September 1th Camp Ashraf clashes resulted in the killing of 52 Ashraf residents and the allegedly missing of 7 other.
After the tragic events at Camp Ashraf all the eyes turned to MKO leaders to see what they do to save the remaining members. Everybody in concern of Liberty residents to whom the danger is now nearer and more tangible would expect the Cult leaders to try their utmost to accelerate the process of relocation.
However the Rajavi’s eyes were looking somewhere else, as he enjoys the smell of blood. He tried to benefit from the blood of the victims as much as possible.
After the incident the Organization’s propaganda system tried to distribute the films and photos related to the clashes to the international media demanding the protection of Liberty residents and the presence of blue helmet UN soldiers.
Maryam Rajavi also gave speeches in different occasions asking for help to safe their stay in Iraq rather than accelerating their relocation to third countries.
The leaders and high ranking members of the organization, all residing in safe places do not care about the safety and well being of the rank and file members being trapped in a temporary residence in Iraq .
The reality is that the leaders of the organization attempts is to keep members in Iraq rather than transferring them to other countries as no country accept to house terrorists in group and they have the bitter experience in Albania .
The reports suggest the defection of about 70 out of 159 members of the organization who have been transferred to Albania.
The leaders prefer to use or better to say misuse members’ lives in Iraq as much as they can, rather than letting them out of the organizational boundaries and indoctrinations where they can break with the cult and make free choices about their future.
After the death of 52 Camp Ashraf residents who stayed there under the pretext of protecting the organization’s property the leaders called it a victory for MKO. And this story will repeat again regardless of the lives it may cost, as it is now more than a month that Liberty residents have gone on hunger strike based on an organizational decree.
Using this strategy, Rajavi tries to convince the international world to help him stay in Iraq as a last resort to keep his cult and to prevent the rank and file from defecting.

German media reported of an order issued to relocate a number of members of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization from Iraqi Camp Liberty to Germany. The United Nation representatives and German government agreed to transfer 97 resident of Camp Liberty.
German newspaper, Kolner Stadt –Anzeiger published in Cologne reported that German government has ordered the city officials to receive 77 people of the refugees.
The 97 Liberty residents are among those who have already had refuge files in Germany. They had been sent to Iraq by the group during Saddam’s regime, according to the German daily.
The report adds that the city officials including Mr. Guido Kahlen the director of Cologne city council seriously protested the decision. They consider the presence of those people with records of military, terrorist and cult-like activities as a risk security of Koln citizens.
Based on the agreement signed by Iraqi government and the UN, members of the MKO who are currently residing in Camp Liberty near Baghdad, are supposed to be received by third countries as refugees. So far Albania has agreed on the relocation of 210 members of the group. About 80 of these residents have been already transferred to Albania.
With the expected openness for diplomacy between Iran and US governments following the UN annual general assembly where President of both countries delivered their optimistic speeches for better relations, the 
Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO) and Israel were played into fears. As usual the MKO propaganda groups held rally outside the UN chanting slogans against the newly elected Iranian President.
On the same side of the anti-Iran alliance, the Israeli Prime Minister “Benjamin Netanyahu voiced deep skepticism about the new Iranian President’s outreach to the west, saying the world “should not be fooled”. Terrified by a likely normalized relationship between Iran and the US, Netanyahu said Rouhani’s address was filled with “hypocrisy”. [1]
While the Iranian president said his nation is ready to restart stalled negotiations over its nuclear program, the MKO propaganda rally wants to “halt Obama administration from carrying out talks with Hassan Rouhani.” [2]
In his 50-minute address to the UN General assembly, Obama said he will use the remainder of his term to pursue better relation with Iran in the hope of resolving the controversy surrounding its nuclear program. President Obama told the UN that he had instructed Secretary of State John Kerry to explore contacts with Iran.[3]
On Sep. 27, the Iranian Foreign minister Javad Zarif and his American counterpart held their first private meeting following the meeting on the sidelines of General Assembly between foreign minister of US, UK, France, Russia, China, Germany and Iran over Iranian nuclear program. US secretary of State John Kerry said after meeting Dr. Zarif that it was “constructive “.[4] As Euronews puts, “It is a moment many have been impatiently waiting for, the breaking of more than thirty years of ice between Iran and the United States,” it is also the moment that many including the MKO and Israel have feared for many years.
Bad news continues for Netanyahu and Maryam Rajavi. Barack Obama and Hassan Rouhani also held the first direct talks between American and Iranian leaders since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, exchanging pleasantries in a 15-minute telephone call on Friday that raised the prospect of relief Tehran from crippling economic sanctions, reported the Guardian.[5]
While the MKO’s propaganda websites prefer to keep silent over the enormously broadcasted news of the highest level contacts between leaders of Iran and the United States and the reportedly positive talks between secretary Kerry and Dr. Zarif, in a Press Conference held at the White House, Obama said he and Rouhani had directed their teams to work quickly toward an agreement on Iran’s nuclear program. [6]
Regarding the reactions to such historic phone call in both Iran and the United States , Alex Johnson of NBCNews states that American Republicans were” scoffed” by the news of President Obama’s telephone call. He reports that the speaker of US House of Representatives, John Boehner accused Obama of preferring to talk to “Iranian dictators over talking to them.”[7]
This is not a coincidence that Mr. Boehner belongs to the list of well-paid American politicians who sponsor the MKO’s war-crisis mongering campaign to stop any diplomatic effort in US-Iran relations. In September 2012 on the eve of MKO’s removal from list of Foreign Terrorists Organizations of the US State Department, the Guardian presented a relatively detailed account of large amounts of money paid by the MKO to buy sponsors in the US Congress. Chris McGreal of the Guardian wrote of John Boehner as one of the receivers of donations by the American Society of Texas, a MKO-affiliated group that paid more than 110,000 in fees to campaign for delisting the group.[8]
John Boehner is not alone among those MKO-paid politicians who do not favor the improvement of US-Iran relations. Other former US officials generously paid by the group, spoke at the rally which was “a well–orchestrated affairs”, according to the author of Mondoweiss piece. “The group seems flush with cache”, he write.[9]
In the MKO-run rally outside the UN, Tuesday, some other prominent figures of warmongers appeared. Former US ambassador to the UN John Bolton, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former Rhode Island Democratic Representative Patrick Kennedy, and former chairman of the Republican National Committee Michael Steele delivered speeches to support the MKO and to stop Obama administration from negotiating with Iranian president. [10]
Kane notices, “Kennedy, along with Bolton, Giuliani and Steele have all received handsome speaking fees in the past from MEK – affiliated organizations.”[11]
Kane also reports of other participants at the rally who included Americans from around the country-some of whom “didn’t have a clue what it was all about”. He refers to the words of one attendee who had their tickets, food and hotel paid for by the organizers of the rally. Photos of black demonstrators with images of Maryam and Massoud Rajavi on the shirts mark the MKO’s masquerade in New York. [12]
In his address at the general Assembly President Obama notifies that his government is not seeking to overthrow the Iranian government. It seems that the MKO-Israeli futile efforts to launch another destructive war in the Middle East are in decline. Both enemies of the Iranian nation, particularly the MKO always clearly replicate their desire to overthrow the Iranian government. Needless to say, in the least probable case that they succeed to run their propaganda against Islamic Republic, they are both largely detested by the Iranian people. No public support, no power.

The Honourable Mr Samir Tahiri, Interior Minister of Albania
Dear Mr Tahiri,
Your honourable and distinguished government, within the framework of human rights actions and activities, has accepted and given refuge to 210 members of the PMOI (People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran), who are captives in Iraq. But, the Mojahedin Organization has taken advantage of this opportunity and has placed some of its commanders among the ordinary PMOI members who have been sent to Albania, in order to supervise and control them.
Some of these, who are the PMOI’s high ranking officers and commanders, are in Albania right now such as Farzaneh Meydanshahi (member of the PMOI Leadership Council), Esmail Mortezaie, Houshang Doodkani, Afshin Ebrahimi and Karim Ghorayshi.
These PMOI commanders and operatives who have come to Albania, have failed to control and supervise the ordinary members and, as a result, 70 individuals have separated from the PMOI in Albania and have declared that they do not want to co-operate with the PMOI any more. In spite of their public declaration, they have been under severe pressure from the PMOI operatives and commanders in Albania.
According to authenticated news from inside the PMOI, the PMOI leadership have decided to send Mrs Masoumeh Malekmohammadi, who is one of the PMOI high ranking officers and commanders, to Albania to reinforce the Mojahedin organization there. She is one of the PMOI’s most important and notorious figures.
The PMOI’s most important objective in sending her to Albania is to rescue her from judicial indictment and prosecution in Iraq. Mrs Masoumeh Malekmohammadi is one of the PMOI’s high ranking officers whose name has been listed by Iraq’s judicial ministry for crimes committed in Iraq.
She was head of the PMOI’s External Affairs department in Iraq which implemented the meetings and transactions with Saddam Hussein’s government. She has had other responsibilities in Iraq which are as follows:
Implementation of projects to intervene in Iraqi affairs during the last 10 years; endeavours to create schisms and chaos in Iraq’s internal affairs; creating artificial associations and parties in the name of Iraqis and supporting specific terrorist groups in Iraq; supporting the terrorist group of Taregh Al-Hashemi, the former deputy president of Iraq, who is now a fugitive.
Among the terrorist activities committed by Masoumeh Malikmohammadi was her participation as a high ranking commander in the massacre of the Kurdish population in the area of Khaneghin in the Pearl military operation (aka Morvarid operation) in 1991 in Iraq.
In 1995, she was one of the high ranking PMOI operatives and commanders responsible for suppressing and torturing the dissident members in the prisons of Camp Ashraf. She tortured and interrogated many of those dissident members in those prisons in Camp Ashraf and stood as one of the judges in those extra-judicial courts which were created by the PMOI leader Massoud Rajavi to prosecute and sentence these dissidents. Her name is also mentioned as one of the officials and operatives linked to suspicious and questionable deaths inside the PMOI. During her residence in Pakistan between 1995-1996 Mrs Malekmohammadi was under judicial indictment and prosecution by the government of Pakistan because of her unlawful activities there and as a result of that she escaped from Pakistan to Iraq using a fake Iraqi name and passport.
Honorable Mr Tahiri,
We urge you as the Interior Minister who is responsible for the security of Albania, according to the above mentioned facts, to prevent the entrance of Mrs Masoumeh Malekmohammadi to Albania. She should be handed over to the Iraqi courts of justice for her criminal activities in Iraq.
We urge you and your government to allocate and designate a place for the separated members of the PMOI away from those who are loyal Mojahedin members in Albania in order for them to be safe and sound from the psychological tortures and pressures of the PMOI.
We are very thankful and grateful to you and your government for your humanitarian measures and hospitality.
The Iranian people will not forget your great and humanitarian act of harbouring their children in Albania.

++ Mohammad Reza Rohani – formerly a member of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) – has begun a series of articles titled ‘The Smell of the Shirt of Joseph’. Parts 1 and 2 go into detail about why he resigned from the NCRI and the pressure the MEK exert on him now to keep quiet. He points out that he is writing as a person who is not against them and has done his best to bring them back to normality, nevertheless he details the difficult situation he was in and why he had to leave.
++ Dr Ghassim writing similarly as a former NCRI member describes why he felt he was no longer an effective or useful member of the Council. One specific example he gives is that over the last decade Maryam Rajavi has held around 60 or 70 conferences and meetings, but, even putting himself aside, not once during the past ten years has a single Iranian been on the panel. Instead the panellists were always American or European lobbyists. Ghassim points out that as a member of the Council he should surely have been able to represent it at least once in the past ten years, but this example shows why he felt unable to play a part and be helpful any more.
++ Several writers in Farsi have pointed out that over recent days Rajavi’s stance toward Iran is an exact copy of that of Benjamin Netanyahu, and that the word for word copying makes it clear the MEK is being paid to repeat what Netanyahu says. They point out that no one else in the world, not even the Neoconservatives, follow word for word what Netanyahu says except the MEK.
++ The office of Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki issued a statement in English denying the MEK’s propaganda claims. The statement reads in part: “The Khalq Organization is accustomed to fabricating lies and disseminating them, in this regard they alleged that seven of its members had been missing in the recent events that took place in the New Iraq camp, and claimed that they were abducted by Iraqi troops. As we reject these allegations altogether we reiterate the fact that the Iraqi forces has never conducted any actions against members of this organization, whether in the camp of New Iraq or any other site, but the elements of this organization, which is still on the list of terrorist organizations refused to allow Iraqi forces, which were protecting the camp, entering the camp at the time of the accident and impeded investigation efforts.”
++ The US embassy in Iraq also issued a denial of MEK propaganda claims saying: “The U.S. Embassy in Iraq says it has no information on the whereabouts of seven Iranian dissidents allegedly missing following a deadly shooting on their compound north of Baghdad this month. The parent organization of the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq dissident group says it has information that an American delegation has met the seven people held by Iraqi forces near Baghdad airport. U.S. Embassy spokesman Rodney Ford told The Associated Press by email Sunday that the claim of an American visit is “categorically untrue.” He says no one from the U.S. government has seen or visited those said to be missing.”
++ Several articles about Camp Ashraf have concluded that the MEK are trying to divert attention away from the UN’s efforts to remove them in order to keep themselves in Iraq. It is ironic that a couple of days ago another audio message from Massoud Rajavi was broadcast inside the MEK in which he viciously attacks everyone and says they have to get their ground back and fight to the last person. Rajavi says no one is allowed to leave Iraq. Many have written in response that it is clear he wants to get rid of the whole 3000. The 52 killed on September 1st have given him some blood and he is now prepared to kill them all.
++ Ashraf News and other Iraqi media report that some unnamed officials claim they believe Massoud Rajavi had been in Camp Ashraf but ran away shortly before the transfers to Camp Liberty began.
++ News from inside Camp Liberty is given by Mohammad Karami who has contact with an insider. He was informed that since the 42 survivors of the Camp Ashraf incident were transferred to Camp Ashraf, nobody has seen them or had contact with them. They have been held in quarantine so that it is clear they know things which Rajavi doesn’t want others to find out about.
++ In Iran, General Seyed Mohammad Baqerzadeh, commander of the search committee for the lost people at the Armed Forces Headquarters said his organisation had met with officials of the ICRC and representatives of the Iraqi defense and human rights ministries in the south western Iranian city of Ahvaz to discuss the search for missing war dead. General Baqerzadeh said that some Iranian POWs were handed over to MKO terrorists, who were based in camp Ashraf, by the Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussain and that some of them “were martyred and buried there,” which is why the search committee wants permission to search the cemetery of Camp Ashraf for bodies.
++ During President Rohani’s visit to the UN General Assembly in New York the MEK held a demonstration in Manhatten. Not one serious media outlet covered it. Only one or two weblogs mentioned it and a few paid adverts tried to make something out of it. However a reporter for the Farsi section of Radio Free Europe (Radio Farda) posted a short note and a picture gallery titled, ‘Full of colour, full of people’. The pictures showed only a few white people including John Bolton with the rest – a few hundred – being mostly poor black people (apparently beggars) who had presumably been paid to attend.
++ Mehrdad Sagharchi from Germany was the guest on Mardom TV this week. He answered questions on a variety of subjects from his own experience of Ashraf and Liberty.
++ A few Iraqi MPs , officials and Tribal Leaders in Iraq have issued announcements asking the Government of Iraq to put more pressure on the UN and the US to take the remains of Saddam – as they call the MEK – out of the country as soon as possible. Many refer to the incident in Camp Ashraf and say that if this was done by the families of the victims of MEK terrorism in Iraq as is claimed, then it show that people’s patience is running thin and the Americans should take their mercenaries out and back home.
++ Mohammad Razaghi responded to Massoud Rajavi’s audio broadcast in an article that points out how Rajavi is inciting the members to resist to the death and follow the path of the 52 who were killed. From this approach Razaghi draws the conclusion that no one else was after the blood of these people and no one else benefited from it except Rajavi himself.
++ Iran’s President Hassan Rohani and Iraqi Vice President Khazir al-Khazai met in New York on September 25. During the meeting in which many regional issues were discussed, including the crisis in Syria, President Rohani expressed gratitude to the Iraqi government for its closure of Camp Ashraf… Stressing that the terrorist group had the blood of Iranians and Iraqis on its hands, the Iranian president expressed hope that the remaining MKO terrorists would leave Iraqi soil shortly.

9/11 perp Giuliani joins terrorists to attack Rouhani
Islam Times – Iranian President Rouhani’s visit to the United Nations was well received by most of the world.
Normally unfriendly US mainstream media hailed Rouhani’s “well-orchestrated charm offensive” and accurately reported the Iranian president’s words – in marked contrast to the disinformation, slander, and deception that pervaded US me
dia reports of previous president Ahmadinejad’s statements.
Even Secretary of State John Kerry, the leading Obama Administration war-monger, called President Rouhani’s exchange of letters with Obama “positive and constructive.”
Only one group reacted negatively to Rouhani’s UN speech: Zionist extremists and their terrorist allies.
Israeli PM Netanyahu stayed up till 1 a.m. Israeli time to issue what the Times of Israel called a “bitter” attack on Rouhani. According to the Times, Netanyahu “slammed the Iranian president’s address as a ‘cynical… hypocritical… PR charade.’”
Netanyahu’s Home Front Defense Minister Gilad Erdan said: “I’m more than worried. I’m distraught…Rouhani’s language is having its effect.”
Netanyahu, who was laughed out of the United Nations last year for waving around a crude cartoon of an “Iranian bomb,” once again made a fool of himself at the UN by ordering Israeli diplomats to walk out of the hall when President Rouhani spoke. No other country joined the Israeli walkout – a perfect symbol of the Israel’s increasing global isolation.
The Israeli Likud extremists are panicking; their plans for war on Iran are slipping away.
But why are they so anxious to attack Iran in the first place?
Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, has declared that nuclear weapons are forbidden by Islam. President Rouhani, like President Ahmadinejad before him, agrees: “We have never pursued or sought a nuclear bomb and we are not going to do so.” The American CIA says the same thing: Iran is not building nuclear weapons.
So the nuclear issue is a red herring. There must be some other reason why the Israeli Likudniks are so eager to attack Iran.
To understand the real Israeli motive for war with Iran, we must understand the “deep politics” surrounding the attacks of September 11th, 2001.
Gen. Wesley Clark has revealed that 9/11 was designed to “take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran.”
The plan failed.
The neocon-dominated post-9/11 US did temporarily “take out” Iraq – but today, the Iraqi government is at least as friendly to Iran as to the USA.
The neocons succeeded in “taking out” Somalia, which is now an occupied and devastated country. They also “took out” Sudan, which has been smashed into two pieces, with the resource-rich south now dominated by Israel. And they “took out” Libya before Qaddafi could undermine the Rothschild petrodollar with his gold dinar and silver dirham.
But the neocons have not been able to “take out” Syria or Lebanon – stepping stones to their ultimate goal, which is regime change in Iran.
And they almost lost Egypt – and still may lose it, as the Egyptian people wake up to the reality that they are living under Israeli occupation, thanks to Israeli puppet al-Sisi’s demolition of Egyptian democracy.
The 9/11 plan to smash the whole Middle East and install Israel-friendly regimes throughout the region has stalled. The people of the Middle East are more anti-Zionist than ever. And they want Islamic democracy – along the lines of the successful Iranian experiment in wedding democracy, republicanism, and Islam.
Iran’s Islamic democracy, and its anti-Zionism, are a model for the region…a dangerous model, in the eyes of the Israelis. Hence Netanyahu’s fanatical insistence on regime change in Tehran.
But there is another reason – a more explosive one – behind Netanyahu’s obsession with war on Iran. Netanyahu and his neocon agents know that if peace ever breaks out, and the USA ends its wartime state of emergency, the truth behind 9/11 will likely emerge. And if that happens, Israel will be finished as a Zionist apartheid state…and Netanyahu will hang.
One of Netanyahu’s minions, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, appeared to be just as panicked as Netanyahu by Rouhani’s “charm offensive” and its promise of peace. Giuliani spoke at a rally organized by the terrorist group Mojahedin-e-Khalq (MEK) outside the UN in protest of Rouhani’s visit. The former New York mayor and 9/11 suspect, speaking to the terrorist group, charged that President Rouhani was involved in the 1994 bombing of a Jewish center in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The irony of suspected 9/11 terrorist Giuliani, speaking to one of the world’s most reviled terrorist groups, charging the moderate president of Iran with terrorism, is extreme. What makes it even more extreme is that the 1994 Buenos Aires bombing has been revealed as a false-flag operation by the Israeli Mossad – the same agency that employed Giuliani in its 2001 attack on the World Trade Center.
Giuliani was forced to drop out of the 2008 presidential race when the activist group We Are Change challenged him as a 9/11 criminal. Everywhere Giuliani went, he was dogged by We Are Change members asking him the same question: “Mr. Giuliani, you stated on television on September 11th, 2001 that you were forewarned that the World Trade Towers were going to be destroyed, so you left the vicinity. If you knew the Towers were coming down, why didn’t you warn the firefighters and rescue personnel?”
At first, Giuliani lied by denying that he had been forewarned of the Towers’ destruction. But when We Are Change members posted news clips showing Giuliani confessing to his foreknowledge of the Towers’ demolitions, the former New York mayor – who was running for President under the nickname “Mr. 9/11” – was forced to withdraw his candidacy.
Giuliani’s fingerprints are all over 9/11 and the follow-up anthrax attacks. Journalist Barbara Honegger notes that Giuliani’s office planned the drills that provided cover for the 9/11 operation: “Mayor Rudolph Giuliani’s Office of Emergency Management (OEM) preplanned a bio/chem-terrorism exercise likely involving an anthrax scenario for which personnel were (pre-positioned) in New York City on 9/11, and Giuliani’s just-recent OEM director (Jerome Hauer) urged White House staff to go on anti-anthrax Cipro on Sept. 11.”
Honegger also notes that “Rudolph Giuliani bought the Florida-building crime scene of the first anthrax attack…Giuliani thus controlled and oversaw the destruction of evidence at both the New York crime scene of the 9/11 attacks, the WTC, ordering the steel containing traces of controlled demolition explosives to be removed, and the crime scene of the first anthrax attack, America Media, Inc, in Florida.”
Today, Giuliani, who once thought he could ride his 9/11-anthrax crimes all the way to the presidency, has been forced to resort to making a living by accepting speaking engagements from Mossad-supported terrorist groups. If current trends continue, peace breaks out, and the US finally launches a real investigation of 9/11, “Mr. 9/11” may find himself swinging from a rope beside his partner in crime, Benjamin Netanyahu.
Commander of Iraqi Army First Lieutenant General Ali Ghaidan who is visiting Iran at the head of a military delegation said on Wednesday that Baghdad is determined to expel the remaining members of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) terrorist organization. Ghaidan made the comment in a meeting with the Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Ground Force Brigadier General Mohammad Pakpour in which the two top commanders also talked about joint combat against terrorism and border security.
The Iraqi commander who accompanied the Iraqi defense minister on his trip to Iran, referred to the recent clashes in Camp Ashraf — in which at least 50 MKO members were killed — and said his country is determined to get rid of MKO members for good.
He also praised the Islamic Republic of Iran’s progress in various field, particularly in military warfare and defense industries.
Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs on September 13 thanked the Iraqi government for its measures to close Camp Ashraf, the main training base of the MKO terrorists, and called on Baghdad to expel the remaining members of the group.
On September 1 some 52 MKO members were killed in clashes at the camp, which the Iraqi authorities blamed on infighting among the camp’s 100 residents.
The notorious camp, which in its heyday housed thousands of MKO terrorists, was fully evacuated by the Iraqi authorities from its much-hated residents on September 11.
Camp Ashraf’s residents have been relocated to Camp Liberty, near Baghdad’s international airport, under a United Nations-brokered deal that wants them resettled in other countries. A total of 162 MKO members have been resettled abroad so far, mostly in Albania.
MKO members were involved in many terrorist activities in Iran before they went to Iran in 1986, where they found a true patron in Iraq’s deposed dictator Saddam Hussein who gave them shelter and arms.
They fought along Saddam forces in the war it had imposed on Iran (1980-1988) and later turned their guns against the Iraqi citizens who had revolted against the ruthless dictator in 1991.
Discussing the role of the Mujahedin-e-Khalgh Organization in the Iraqi imposed war on Iran;
Four former members of the Muhajedin-e-Khalgh Organization known as MKO in a press conference in Tehran shed light on the role of the MKO in eight years of Iraqi war against Iran in the 1980s. The former MKO members said that since the beginning, the leaders of the organization were looking for a source of support for the group and the Iraqi-impos
ed war provided them with the chance.
The press conference has been held as Iran is marking the sacred defense week which commemorates the 33rd anniversary of the beginning of the Iraqi imposed war on Iran back in 1980.
The group is notorious for carrying out numerous acts of terror against Iranian civilians and officials, involvement in the 1991 bloody repression of Shia Muslims in southern Iraq, and the massacre of Iraqi Kurds in the country’s north under Saddam.
The last group of MKO terrorists at Camp Ashraf was evicted by the Iraqi government on September 11 to join other members of the terrorist group in the former US-held Camp Liberty, now called Camp Hurriya, near Baghdad International Airport where they are awaiting relocation to other countries.
I went to Camp Ashraf from America
Arash sametipour was living in the United States when he first heard of Camp Ashraf. He went there, he was trained and finally, one morning he entered Iran crossing Southern border. “The first thing to attract my attention 
in Ahwaz [ a city near border] were children who were playing soccer, chasing each other and speaking Persian. I noticed children’s playing in other cities too. I was really impressed … I thought when I was at their age I was experiencing war. Those days, most nights we were awaken by air raid siren and had to go to shelters. We had only two TV channels and a lot of passionate revolutionary slogans… basically I don’t think my generation can claim to have had a childhood.”
My interview with Arash Sametipour was on the phone. He lives in Netherlands so we were not able to look in to each other’s eyes. It was too difficult for me to ask questions without knowing enough about his mental conditions. I knew I had to call him a “terrorist” some time during the interview but I didn’t know that he who is now trying his best to “fight violence”, regarded such an attribute as “fair”.
“In the morning you crossed the Southern border to enter Iran; did you know that you were officially going on a mission that would turn you in to a terrorist?” I asked him. He replied,”
Arash was not willing to speak of details of the mission he had been trained for but he didn’t disagree my hypothesis when I said,”let me suppose that you were going to Iran to kill someone or technically to hit someone."
“On that day I was in the place I was supposed to be just like previous days. But that day was different from other days. I was terribly tired. My country-fellow men may not understand what I mean. It may be a little hard for them to accept that there was no motivation, there was only tiredness. I just wanted it to finish… I remember the exact words I told God:”Finish it. Please finish it.”
Arash says that an hour after saying the “prayer”, he is arrested by the Iranian Police. The cops fail to search his body completely so at the Police station, he manages to get the grenade he has with him and eventually releases the trigger.
“The moment I released the safety lock, I wondered what was going to happen. Was it the end? Would everything go dark? Or would I be born like a baby once again? Right away, my mother’s image emerged before my eyes.”
I asked him if he had talked to his mother about the path he had chosen, before joining the MKO.
“My mother was seriously against it. My family had immigrated to the United States in 1995. We all had Green Cards and soon we were qualified to receive American citizenship. I was a student and a pretty good future was waiting for me… The moment I released the trigger the image of my mother was so real to me that I forget to take the grenade near my chest – we were trained to keep the triggered grenade before our chest – but I was struck dumb by my Mum’s image , so I survived the explosion.”
Arash Sametipour was taken to hospital after he exploded the grenade in his hand. He lost a hand but doctors succeeded to keep his seriously wounded leg.
“Did the medical team of the hospital treat you with discrimination or hatred”?, I asked him.
“Well, it was and is natural. Iranian people have not forgiven the MKO yet but my medical team did their job well without any discrimination. After I was discharged from the hospital I was nearly sure that I would be sentenced to death but the then administration was reformist and the state was willing to show a moderate image. I heard that the MKO members were granted amnesty at that time. I was lucky that I was sentenced to life imprisonment. It was later reduced to 8 years and according to the law if you commit a crime for the first time you will be forgiven after you serve half of your conviction.”
“I Become a Teacher”. Arash sametipour has two important occupations now; he is awaiting the birth of his baby and meanwhile he is writing the book of his memoirs. He has his own weblog where he frequently writes of his memoirs and his daily routine.
I asked him who joined the MKO at the age of 21, “if 21 years later, your son come to you saying he has reasons to take gun and fight a government that he feels it should be reformed, what you tell him?”
“I’ve thought about it a lot. I guess if I am able to convey what I endured in the past, firstly to my child and secondly to the coming generation, they will be unlikely to repeat my experience.”
He says that if he were able to get back to the past, he would become a teacher rather than “an armed fighter against a government."
“I was not a person to change the history. I remember the words by Samad [the Iranian writer] ‘we thought everyone was in danger there but we went saw that only we were in danger!’ If I get back to Iran someday, I will become a teacher maybe I could pass my experience and the story of my life to the future generation in order to make them aware of this part of the history in which my generation and I lived our life.”
