Former members of the MEK

Rights Group Raps UN Chief’s Appeal

Rights Group Raps UN Chief’s Appeal for Resettlement of MKO Terrorists

An Iran-based right group strongly criticized UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon for his recent appeal to countries for hosting members of the terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO, also known as the MEK, NCR and PMOI).

In a letter to the UN Chief on Sunday, the Association for Defending Victims of Terrorism (ADVT), a non-governmental, cultural institution whose members are family members and children of the victims of terrorist attacks, voiced their strong protest against Ban Ki-moon’s demand.

"How can the UN members trust the residents of Camp Liberty (where MKO members have been settled transiently), who are members of the terrorist MKO cult, and grant them asylum," the letter asked, reminding that MKO members had passed special military, terrorism and sabotage trainings in their previous shelter in Iraq, Camp Ashraf.

The letter said striking off the MKO from the western states’ terrorist list could never change the nature and status of the MKO as a terrorist group as everybody knows that the sectarian and undemocratic structure of the group is a "serious threat to peace and security".

In September 2012, the last groups of the MKO terrorists left Camp Ashraf, their main training center in Iraq. They have been transferred to Camp Liberty which lies Northeast of the Baghdad International Airport.

Camp Liberty is a transient settlement facility and a last station for the MKO in Iraq.

In a report to the UN Security Council on Thursday, Ban Ki-moon appealed for countries to consider resettling several thousand MKO members living in Iraq who were recently moved to a former US military base in Baghdad from a camp where they lived for decades.

"Without the strong commitment of member states to accept former residents of Camp New Iraq, no sustainable solution can be achieved," Ban said in the report. "I appeal to member states to offer resettlement opportunities to residents with international protection needs as soon as possible."

Ban said 3,112 MKO members have been transferred to Camp Liberty (Hurriya), leaving about 100 still at Camp Ashraf – also know as Camp of New Iraq.

The MKO is behind a slew of assassinations and bombings inside Iran, a number of EU parliamentarians said in a recent letter in which they slammed a British court decision to remove the MKO from the British terror list. The EU officials also added that the group has no public support within Iran because of their role in helping Saddam Hussein in the Iraqi imposed war on Iran (1980-1988).

Many of the MKO members abandoned the terrorist organization while most of those still remaining in the grouplet are said to be willing to quit but are under pressure and torture not to do so.

A May 2005 Human Rights Watch report accused the MKO of running prison camps in Iraq and committing human rights violations.

According to the Human Rights Watch report, the outlawed group puts defectors under torture and jail terms.

The group, founded in the 1960s, blended elements of Islamism and Stalinism and participated in the overthrow of the US-backed Shah of Iran in 1979. Ahead of the revolution, the MKO conducted attacks and assassinations against both Iranian and Western targets.

The group started assassination of the citizens and officials after the revolution in a bid to take control of the newly established Islamic Republic. It killed several of Iran’s new leaders in the early years after the revolution, including the then President, Mohammad Ali Rajayee, Prime Minister, Mohammad Javad Bahonar and the Judiciary Chief, Mohammad Hossein Beheshti who were killed in bomb attacks by MKO members in 1981.

The group fled to Iraq in 1986, where it was protected by Saddam Hussein and where it helped the Iraqi dictator suppress Shiite and Kurd uprisings in the country.

The terrorist group joined Saddam’s army during the Iraqi imposed war on Iran (1980-1988) and helped Saddam and killed thousands of Iranian civilians and soldiers during the US-backed Iraqi imposed war on Iran.

Since the 2003 US invasion of Iraq, the group, which now adheres to a pro-free-market philosophy, has been strongly backed by neo-conservatives in the United States, who argued for the MKO to be taken off the US terror list.

The US formally removed the MKO from its list of terror organizations in early September, one week after Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sent the US Congress a classified communication about the move. The decision made by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton enabled the group to have its assets under US jurisdiction unfrozen and do business with American entities, the State Department said in a statement at the time.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization

Which one is more effective? Removal from the list orl from Ashraf?

The Mujahedin Khalq Organization was first placed in the list of “Foreign Terrorist Organizations” after the list was created in 1997 because of its alliance with Saddam Hussein and the Which one is more effective? Removal from the list or Removal from Ashraf?assassination campaign it launched against American civilians and military personnel working in Iran in the 1970s. Although designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, the MKO’s lobbying campaign was highly active in US Congress and Administration. [1]

There have been numerous reports on American support for the MKO during the years it was considered a terrorist group. The peak of US sponsorship for the group was revealed by Seymour Hersh’s piece on New Yorker,” Our Men in Iran”. The report exposed that the MKO militants were trained by the US Joint Special Operation Command in Nevada. [2]

Practically the MKO’s designation as a terrorist organization, did not affect its functions in the international community so much. Nor it affected the group’s internal Cult-like relations.
In September2012, the US State Department decided to remove the MKO from the FTO list. The delisting was announced while the State Department emphasized that it “doesn’t overlook or forget the MEK’s past acts of terrorism including its involvement in the killing of US citizens in Iran in the 1970s and an attack on US soil in 1992.” The statement read, “The Department also has serious concerns about the MEK as an organization, particularly with regard to allegations of abuse committed against its own members". [3]

Actually, the DOS’s concerns about human rights violations committed by the leaders of the cult-like MKO have never prevented the group from its lobbying efforts in the US Congress whether it is listed or delisted. Furthermore, the group’s terrorist designation had no impact on its cult-like practices and its violent behavior against dissident members inside the group.

Once the MKO is delisted, its neo-con supporters will simply more freely support the group although the removal from the list will have no substantial impact on the group’s external functions.

The other crucial change for the MKO was its removal from Camp Ashraf its three-decade home — granted by Saddam Hussein– in Iraq. Following the Memorandum of Understanding signed by the UN Assistance Mission in Iraq and the Government of Iraq,[4]the MKO was supposed to evacuate Camp Ashraf by the end of 2012.The evacuation process was almost completely accomplished. The Camp residents were transferred to Camp Liberty, a former US base near Baghdad airport.

The removal from Camp Ashraf was an influential phase in the four-decade life of the organization. It significantly affected the group’s internal relations.

Temporary Transit Location (TTL/ Liberty) is guarded by Iraqi Police which has installed several stations in the base. The MKO’s base is no more an isolated, fenced and barbed piece of land in the desert. It is located in the neighborhood of Baghdad where a Shiite government, with friendly relationship with Islamic Republic is ruling.

The camp is also monitored by the UN representatives. Now, the leaders of the MKO have to work harder to maintain the integration of the cult. They have increased cult-like pressure and organizational control over members to prohibit the collapse of their establishment. Members, who have recently fled the TTL, described the severe mind control schedule imposed there right now. Majid Mohammadi is a former MKO member who left Liberty in May 2012. He believes that moving to the new camp has raised the members’ spirits. Therefore, ”the cult leaders had to increase their control over members so that they can maintain the cult relations and structures”, he said in an interview.”They seriously fear members talking to each other”. Moving to TTL has narrowed the leaders’ influence over the forces although they have extended their mind control meetings up to "12 hours a day". [4]

On the other hand, far from the Iranian border, the MKO operatives have almost lost the capacity to launch terrorist acts or to dispatch teams across Iran-Iraq border.
Following the removal of terrorist label from MKO members and also the removal of Ashraf bars from their bodies and minds, they are more likely to find a way out of the Cult of Rajavi on the grand of provided legal opportunities. They can seek asylum in third countries or return to Iran by the aid of UNHCR and the GOI. The eventual collapse of the cult is not so far. The impact of the MKO delisting on the group’s external functions is not really as much as the impact of Ashraf evacuation on the group’s internal functions.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

MEK Terrorists Coordinate Attack on Iran’s Embassy

On Nov. 28, three days after the Schiller Institute conference in Germany, which included a speech by Iran’s Ambassador to Germany, His Excellency Ali Reza Sheikh Attar, a team of 30 executed a violent break-in of the Iranian Embassy compound in Berlin. The well-prepared group first blocked off the street, before using ladders and wirecutters to scale the barbed-wire-topped fence. According to the Iranian Embassy and government officials in Tehran, the attack was coordinated by the Mujahideen e-Khalq (MEK), or People’s Mujahideen, and included individuals who had been at the MEK military base in Iraq that had been shut down.

Ambassador Sheikh Attar said that his embassy had warned the responsible Berlin police unit three times that morning on Nov. 28, that an attack was being planned. No additional preventive police measures were undertaken, and arrests only followed after the police had arrived 10 minutes later, and caught 10 people in the nearby Free University to which they fled. No embassy personnel were injured, as the attackers did not succeed in entering the building itself. Until now, there has been no evidence that the attackers had weapons. The media are calling the attackers "refugees" protesting human rights conditions in Iran, with no mention of the MEK.

In February this year, 24 attackers stormed the Syrian Embassy in Berlin.

The Nov. 28 attack was similar to an attack/occupation of the Iraqi Embassy in Berlin in August 2002, a part of the early Tony Blair machinations leading to the 2003 military invasion of Iraq. Any sabotage of competent police reaction must be seen in ..PAGE light of who internationally coordinates the terror activities of the MEK, an organization which openly solicits contributions within Germany, but under a different name. The U.S. government removed the MEK from the official list of terrorist organizations in September.

Any move by MEK cadre from Iraq to Germany would have been closely monitored by German security agencies, even if there was no complicity. The Berlin attack must be seen as part of the ongoing strategic confrontation with Russia and China, which is playing out around planned military actions against Syria and Iran.

Martin Kobler: Ashraf residents should cooperate

Iraq: UN envoy flags improved Kuwait links, with progress depending on ‘restoration of confidence’
Martin Kobler: Ashraf residents should cooperate
29 November 2012 – Highlighting improvements in relations between Iraq and Kuwait, the United Nations top official in Iraq today said that progress will “depend on the restoration of confidence between both sides” and encouraged further momentum from the two countries.

In a briefing to the Security Council on the situation in the Middle Eastern country, the Secretary-General’s Special Representative and head of the UN Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI), Martin Kobler, noted how, earlier this year, Iraq demonstrated renewed commitment to improving its bilateral relations with Kuwait, and how he had “stepped-up” engagement with the two countries to see how the UN could best help resolve any outstanding issues in accordance with relevant Council resolutions.

“In this context, I recently held high-level meetings in Iraq and Kuwait where I was encouraged by the strong commitment that both Prime Minister Maliki and the Amir of Kuwait expressed to normalizing relations between their two countries,” Mr. Kobler said. “I very much hope that they will now be able to move quickly and they can count on the UN in this regard.”

Relations between the two countries were affected by Iraq’s 1990 invasion of Kuwait. The following year, the Security Council established the UN Compensation Commission (UNCC), which settles the damage claims of those who suffered losses in the invasion.

So far, the amount of compensation disbursed by the UNCC totals $37.7 billion for more than 1.5 million successful claims of individuals, corporations, Governments and international organizations. Successful claims are paid with funds drawn from the UN Compensation Fund, which is funded by a percentage of the proceeds generated by the export sales of Iraqi petroleum and petroleum products.

In his remarks, Mr. Kobler appealed to the Government of Iraq to “continue to demonstrate the goodwill necessary to fulfil Iraq’s other outstanding obligations, in particular to missing persons and property.” He noted how its commitment to fulfil these obligations will be conducive to the normalisation of relations between the two countries.

“I equally call on the Government of Kuwait to continue to act in a spirit of flexibility and reciprocity as reflected earlier this year by the important reciprocal visits of the Amir in Baghdad and Prime Minister Maliki in Kuwait,” he said, adding that he remains fully committed to working with both Governments to resolve bilateral issues, at their request.

In his briefing, in addition to a range of other issues related to Iraq, the envoy also addressed the situation affecting Iranian exiles located in a camp outside of the capital, Baghdad, urging the international community to come forward with offers for their resettlement.

“I wish to emphasize that Camp Liberty was only meant to be an interim facility to facilitate the Refugee Status Determination and subsequent resettlement in third countries,” the Secretary-General’s Special Representative and head of the UN Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI), Martin Kobler, told a Security Council meeting on the situation in the Middle Eastern country.

“I should like to take this opportunity to reiterate the Secretary-General’s appeal to Member States to offer resettlement opportunities to former residents of Camp Ashraf – without such an undertaking, there can be no sustainable solution for the residents,” he added.

In line with a memorandum of understanding signed in December by the UN and the Iraqi Government to resolve the situation, more than 3,100 of the 3,280 residents originally in Camp Ashraf – now also known as Camp New Iraq – have been re-located to a temporary transit location near Baghdad, known as Camp Hurriya – and formerly known as Camp Liberty – where a process to determine refugee status is being carried out by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). There are 100 residents left in Camp Ashraf.

The issue of Camp Ashraf – located in eastern Iraq and once made up of several thousand Iranian exiles, many of them members of a group known as the People’s Mojahedeen of Iran – has been one of the main issues dealt with by UNAMI for more than a year.

“The Government of Iraq insists to close Camp Ashraf in the next days,” Mr. Kobler said. “It requested the last 100 residents be relocated to Camp Hurriya.”

He noted that UNAMI has spared no effort over the last weeks to help facilitate meetings between involved parties – however, these efforts have been unsuccessful so far, leading to a stalemate.

“The Government of Iraq considers this stalemate as an attempt by the residents to delay the relocation of the remaining 100 persons,” Mr. Kobler said. “The Government of Iraq’s patience is, therefore, wearing thin. I call on the residents of Ashraf to cooperate with the Government of Iraq to solve all outstanding questions related to property.”

The envoy also called on the Government of Iraq to maintain the peaceful relocation of the residents as stipulated in the memorandum of understanding, to demonstrate restraint, and be as flexible as possible when it comes to resolving property-related issues.

In addition, he noted that UN staff who monitor the human rights and humanitarian situation of the residents of Camp Hurriya on a daily basis are often denied access to certain areas of the site which “hinders the performance of their duties.”

“I urge the residents to engage constructively with the Government of Iraq and the United Nations so that Camp Ashraf can be closed peacefully and efforts can focus on the residents’ resettlement to third countries,” he added.

U.N. chief appeals for countries to take MKO members

U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon appealed on Thursday for countries to consider resettling several thousand Iranian dissidents living in Iraq who were recently moved to a former U.S. military base U.N. chief appeals for countries to take MKO membersin Baghdad from a camp where they lived for decades.

In a report to the Security Council, Ban said 3,112 members of the People’s Mujahideen Organization of Iran have been transferred to Camp Hurriya, leaving about 100 still at Camp Ashraf – also know as Camp New Iraq – to help close it down.

Ashraf residents agreed in February to move to the new camp, where the United Nations intends to process them for refugee status in other countries, but they have complained that the conditions at the new base are poor and that they have not been permitted to bring many of their personal belongings.

The group is no longer welcome in Iraq under the Shi’ite Muslim-led government that came to power after U.S.-led forces invaded and toppled Saddam in 2003. Clashes between Ashraf residents and Iraqi security forces last year killed 34 people.

Ban said so far only 31 people had been accepted by other countries and that it was now a matter of urgency that they be offered resettlement opportunities in other countries.

"Without the strong commitment of member states to accept former residents of Camp New Iraq, no sustainable solution can be achieved," Ban said in the report. "I appeal to member states to offer resettlement opportunities to residents with international protection needs as soon as possible."

In September the U.S. State Department removed the dissident group from its official list of terrorist organizations but underscored serious concerns about the group which is seeking to recast itself as an Iranian opposition force.

The group calls for the overthrow of Iran’s clerical leaders and fought alongside Saddam’s forces in the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s. It also led a guerrilla campaign against the U.S.-backed Shah of Iran in the 1970s, including attacks on U.S. targets.

The group surrendered weapons to U.S. forces after the 2003 invasion of Iraq and the fate of Ashraf’s residents has been in question since Iraqi authorities took over the camp from U.S. forces in 2009 under a bilateral security pact.

MEK Camp Ashraf

Intl. reporters visit Camp Ashraf for the first time

Reporters from Iran and a number of other countries visited Iraq’s Camp Ashraf for the first time on Tuesday. Intl. reporters visit Camp Ashraf for the first time

Members of the terrorist Mojahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) used to live in the camp, but an agreement reached between the United Nations and the Iraqi government in December 2011 called for their relocation to Camp Liberty (Hurriya), a former U.S. military base near Baghdad.

About 3100 members of the group have so far been relocated to Camp Liberty, but 80 have not left the camp yet.

During Tuesday’s visit, the reporters were briefed on the process of the evacuation of MKO members, who will finally be expelled from Iraq.

The MKO started its activities as a terrorist group based in Iraq in the early 1980s. In addition to the assassination of hundreds of Iranian officials and citizens, the group cooperated with Saddam Hussein’s Baathist regime in its repression of the Iraqi people.

On September 28, the U.S. State Department formally removed the MKO from its official list of terrorist organizations, a move which prompted angry response from Iran.

The U.S. made the decision under the claim that the group has renounced violence.

The cult of Rajavi

The Cult of Mojahedin: A Modern Cult of Personality

At the present, Mojahedin Cult is notoriously reputed and referred to as the sole political-terrorist cult of personality

The inside and outside members
At the present, Mojahedin Cult is notoriously reputed and referred to as the sole political-terrorist cult of personality
Masud Rajavi complements his authoritarian leadership by fostering a personality cult that revolves primarily around himself and secondarily around his wife, Maryam. (The US State Department Report, Nov. 1992)

Cults are feverishly active all over the world and a grave feature of their menace is the deceit with which they distort the truth to trap the unwary. Cults generally tend to function in isolation and are usually remote from the society and keep away to have direct contact with people. However, for some purposes cults need to make contact with the outside world, that is, recruiting new members, fundraising and more. Sending the members to live among the free society is even more crucial when the cult comes to be a hypocritically political one that needs the society as the wheels to push the cult forth.

Although cults cut members off from easy and tete-a-tete contact with outsiders, there are a number of members in certain cults that live out of the cult among the ordinary people to fulfill the mentioned purposes. It does not mean that these outside members can escape tense, thought reform processes worked within the cult. These members seemingly living outside separate from the cult are also under direct and strict cult controls and undergo the same mechanisms that are used against the insiders:

In most live-in cults, every detail of life comes under group scrutiny. For example, there are dress codes, food restrictions, and enforced marriages or relationships. In such cults, the members generally live together at the headquarters or at specified locations around the country or over, seas and work for cult-owned enterprises. However, there are also cults whose devotees appear to remain active in quite a few major aspects of the outside world, earning a living outside the cult. But for all practical purposes these individuals also live under rules governing such crucial features of their personal life as the people with whom they associate, what happens to their money, whether they raise their own children, and where they live.

At the present, Mojahedin Khalq Organization (MKO/MEK/PMOI/NCR), or Mojahedin Cult/Cult of Mojahedin as it is notoriously reputed and referred to, may be the sole political-terrorist cult of personality that avails big number of live-in and live-out members. The group’s main bastion was once located in Camp Ashraf, located some 60 kilometers north of Baghdad in Iraq, but the majority of insiders have been relocated to a temporary transit location (TTL) near Baghdad’s airport. However, its headquarters are situated in Auvers-Sur-Oise in Paris under the name of National Council of Resistance (NCR), an officially recognized alias for MKO. But there are many countless umbrella and front groups aiding the cult in fundraising activities, recruitment, propaganda blitz, organizing rallies and so forth.

To the list of front groups can be added numerous political, social, charity, art and much more groups and societies wherein hardly you can trace them back to the mother group. They all function according to the taste and culture of the societies among whom the insiders live and mostly propagate under democratic standards. For instance, the women and girls officially active as ring members of MKO are forced to wear outfits covering all their body parts and the head. Even Maryam Rajavi herself in spite of dressing in colorful non-transparent outfit never shows bareheaded in the public. But there are many occasions in which women sympathizers, under the command and direction of the commanding members in charge, engage in activities in extravagant western fashions on behalf of MKO. It has to be also mentioned that many of these sympathizers are unaware of the real nature of MKO and work as propaganda tools to beguile the Westerners. As soon as they are recruited as the formal members, they have to embrace cult principles including the clothing codes.

Before September 28, when MKO was removed from the State Department’s list of FTO, it was a designated terrorist group and therefore the US persons and firms were generally prohibited from engaging in transactions with or providing services to the group. The key responsibility was thus on the US based umbrella groups active in making contracts with American firms as part of a lobbying campaign, hiring speakers and paying speaking fees, making arrangements for encouraging and hiring Iranian and non-Iranian masses for rallies, fund-raising and collecting donations, and more. Here is a few of these active front groups to name just in the US:

The Iranian-American Community of North Texas

Iranian-American Community of Northern California

California Society for Democracy in Iran

The Iranian American Cultural Association of Missouri (IACAM)

The International Solidarity for Democratic Change in Iran (ISDCI)

The Global Initiative for Democracy

U.S. Committee for Camp Ashraf Residents

The National Coalition of Pro-Democracy Advocates

Iraqi Authorities' stance on the MEK

Barazani does not support the survival of the MEK in Iraq

Office of President Barazani: We will never support the survival of the Mojahedin-e Khalq in Iraq

In an interview with ‘France 24 News’ Fouad Hussein, head of the office of President Barazani’s Fouad Hussein, head of the office of President Barazani's Government of the Kurdistan RegionGovernment of the Kurdistan Region, said "regional president Massoud Barazani does not support the survival of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization of Iran (MEK) in Iraq", denying reports by some media that Barazani gave his support for the MEK to stay in Camp Liberty.

Hussein added that "the Government of Arbil does not differ with the Federal Government in Baghdad on issues relating to Iraq’s sovereignty", stressing that both demand the organization leave the sovereign country of Iraq.

The head of the office of the Kurdistan Region explained that the MEK committed crimes against Iraqis from north to south, explaining that the Kurdish people in the north were also victims of the Baathists and the MEK, which was an obedient tool in the hands of the former Baathist regime.

Fouad Hussein, arrived in Paris on Saturday to discuss the repercussions of the political crisis that Iraq is going through now.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

Report: No sympathizers for MKO terrorists in Iran

The terrorist Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) has no popular base inside Iran even among the opponents of the Islamic Republic, which try to keep their distance with it, a new report says. Report: No sympathizers for MKO terrorists in Iran

According to the report published by the Italian website www.diruz.it, the group is responsible for terrorist operations inside Iran during 1980s.

Members of the MKO, who had murdered over 17,000 Iranians since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, fled to the neighboring Iraq in 1980s, where they received military training from the former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein and set up Camp Ashraf in the eastern province of Diyala near the Iranian border.

During Iran’s eight years of Holy Defense against Iraq’s invasion of the country, the MKO terrorists sided with Saddam, who was armed by Western states especially the United States, with chemical and other weapons of mass destruction, against the Iranian people.

After the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, Camp Ashraf was demilitarized and nearly 3,500 MKO members became unwanted guests of the new Iraqi government.

There is also substantial evidence that the terror group was involved in the suppression of Iraqi Kurds and assisted Saddam Hussein in Halabja massacre on March 16, 1988, when at least 5,000 Kurds were killed by the former dictator with chemical weapons, the report added.

Another 7,000 were injured, crippled, or suffered long-term health problems due to Halabja poison gas attack.

This is while on September 21, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sent the Congress a classified communication about delisting the MKO from US terror watch list.

The group, which was described by the US State Department as a "foreign terrorist organization” for the past 15 years, was formally removed from Washington’s list of terror organizations one week after Clinton’s communication.

Mujahedin Khalq; A proxy force

MeK fully supports Israel

MeK fully supports Israel, worry of blocking Salafists’ road to Syria

The Zionist Regime attacked the 1.7 million Gaza Palestinians who are already living under an MeK fully supports Israel, worry of blocking Salafists' road to SyriaIsraeli occupation and blockade. Having assassinated Ahmed Jabari, the head of Hamas’ armed wing, on November 14, Israel expanded the scope of its attacks, attacking Gaza from land, air and sea and killing everyone indiscriminately.

As of Wednesday last week (up to Nov 6 morning), the number of casualties has risen to 130. And there were about 1100 people wounded in the attacks. The dead include innocent infants, whose bodies were pierced with Israeli shells.

Yet, the terrorist group MeK by issuing a statement attempted to purge the Zionist Regime and in a strange and irrelevant claimed: "the war in Gaza is part of the Regime’s [the Iranian Government’] plan to export crisis out."

Rajavi’s gang support for the Zionist Regime and their effort to purge its crimes are synchronized with the group’s stance on legal measures of Iraqi government to control the borders with Syria, a move that prevents Salafist insurgents and remnants of Saddam, who are now fighting Assad Government under the command of Al Qaeda, to cross into Syria. It is considerable that the MeK leadership has made clear her concern over this measure of Iraqi government.

Rajavi remnants that on every occasion inveigh Nouri Maliki, who tossed them out of Camp Ashraf, this time in the guise of defending rights of the Kurds in Iraq, are seeking to provoke some Kurdish groups’ opposition with Iraqi government to realize aims of the Ba’athists in destabilizing Iraq through weakening the government and exacerbating internal divisions. Obviously, theses goals are plotted under supervision of the Zionist regime and the Rajavi’s traitor gang has undertaken the task of propagation on it.
