Mujahedin Khalq as an Opposition Group

Rajavi’s Final Phase of Battle

Rajavi’s new staged battle is in fact directed at responsible international organizations

The UN Security Council is facing an angry backlash from Mojahedin Khalq Organization MKO/MEK following Martin Kobler’s official report and briefing situation on Iraq before the UN Security Council on July 19. In a statement addressed to the UN Security Council in June 21, Alejo Vidal-Quadras, chairing the MKO’s alias International Committee of In Search of Justice (ISJ), strongly denounced claims made by the UN envoy in Iraq in his briefing speech in regards to Camp Ashraf. Mr. Vidal-Quadras states that Martin Kobler’s report is filled with statements that have no basis in reality and have been made to please and corroborate the Iraqi Prime Minister Maliki and the Iraqi government’s actions.

“ISJ report to the UN based on abundant documentations and factual details clearly indicates the depth of the misrepresentations and distortion of facts in Mr Kobler’s report to the UN. This falsification of facts is the main pretext for continuation of the siege of the camp and possibly carrying out a third massacre in there. Mr Kobler’s seven month tenure and his report clearly indicate that he is not impartial nor he complies with his duty to protect the weakest part.”

However, the real shock comes at the conclusion part of Mr. Vidal-Quadras’ statement when he stresses dismissal of the UN’s ambassador to end part of the existing problem in the stalemate: “ISJ would like to reemphasize the need for appointment of an objective and competent personal envoy by the Secretary General to Ashraf and Liberty so that all issues could be addressed in a fair and unbiased manner.”

Mr. Vidal-Quadras’ statement actually set the launching pad for many other MKO’s fed bloggers to follow his line to attack Martin Kobler and question his impartiality in dealing with Ashraf residents and the issue of their relocation to Camp Liberty. A few tried to dig up his career and one of them, Rahman Karimi, in an article stated that Mr. Kobler was appointed the UN Secretary General Special Representative because he was affiliated to Germany’s Green Party best known for following a policy of appeasement towards the Iranian regime. Another one, Jamshid Peyman, warned Mr. Kobler of having his hands stained with residents’ blood and accusing him of being a stirrer.

There is no doubt that such attacks will follow in coming days, but a question might raise that were these flood of malign attacks a spontaneous act or had roots in an earlier cause? For MKO any phenomenon is the effect of a precedent cause. In his message of the first May addressed to residents of Ashraf and Liberty, Massoud Rajavi stated that “It does not mean that we expect action from this or that state and power or the United Nations or an international body. Rather, it is us with our struggle and our people’s brave children that accurately define the terms they utter, like human rights, refugees rights and international humanitarian rights.”

Rajavi had already corroborated that he never waited the fulfillment of any action by any international organization but acted under the enforced circumstances. Somewhere he clearly depicts a short illustration of fluctuations in MKO’s history and the necessity of acting under duress: “Once you were inside Iran in a political phase, … once you were at Kurdistan border lines, once you were in abroad and then you came to Iraq. Once you were in Camp Habib, once in Camp Homayun and once in Alavi Foundation and now you are in Ashraf. Then, the story continues and that is us who have to decide under any circumstances and how and where we can have more productive return out of the conditions.”

The truth is that the serious impediment at the present is not Mr. Kobler alone but all other international institutions engaged to solve the humanitarian crisis in Iraq. In the past months not only the UNAMI but also ICRC, UNHCR and even the US have been claimed to be engaged in a policy of appeasement and acting as mercenaries for Iranian regime as well as violating the reached and signed agreements between MKO and the Iraqi government. As a result, MKO’s press for a replacement for Mr. Kobler is the first taken step to be followed by similar bids of ousting other heads in cooperation unless one-sided demands of the group are met altogether.

Rajavi’s new staged battle since two years ago that underscores a “battle for freedom” is in fact directed at responsible international organizations with the UN at the top: they have to be either subject organizations submitting to irrational demands of MKO or counter attack the psychological warfare aimed to derogate their reputation. The truth pinpointed in Rajavi’s message is that he no more recognizes them let alone their constructive role and decisions concerning the relocation crisis. Rajavi’s started battle indicates his misinterpretation of a compromising solution involving an appreciation and respect for humanitarian causes. How they will counteract such unbearable reactions to stop turning a domestic humanitarian issue into an international controversy depends on their exercising a constant vigilance.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

MKO terrorist sentenced to jail for abduction

A Swedish court has sentenced a female member of the terrorist Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) to eight years in prison over her involvement in kidnapping a mentally-

challenged Swedish student and attempts to extort money from his family.

The 23-year-old MKO member, identified as Parastou Namdar Faiz-Abadi, was found guilty of participating in the kidnapping of Alexander Ahman in the in eastern Swedish city of Uppsala, located 67 kilometers (41 miles) north of the capital, Stockholm, late last December, Mehr News Agency reported.

The report added that Namdar Faiz-Abadi conducted the abduction with the help of another MKO member identified as Moshen Aslan Khan Afshar, 27, who undertook a name change in 2008 to Elias Vecalius, and 26-year-old Magnus Dahlskog.

Namdar Faiz-Abadi and her two accomplices later contacted Ahman’s family and demanded a ransom to free their son.

The MKO has sought ways to prevent the dissemination of the news as it could frustrate its lobbying efforts to get off the US State Department’s foreign terrorist organization list.

The MKO fled to Iraq in 1986, where it enjoyed the support of Iraq’s executed dictator Saddam Hussein, and set up its camp near the Iranian border.

The group is also known to have cooperated with Saddam in suppressing the 1991 uprisings in southern Iraq and carrying out the massacre of Iraqi Kurds.

The MKO has carried out numerous acts of violence against the Iranian civilians and government officials.

MKO Cult against the women’s rights

Mojahedin Khalq is a cult, an inhumane organization, against Iranian people and against the women’s rights
Open letter of Mrs. Ebrahimi to Mrs. Rita Sussmuth Chairman of the Advisory Council on Immigration and Integration,2002-2004 In Germany

I , Nasrin Ebrahimi , one of the former members of the people’s mujahedin organization with 10 Nasrin Ebrahimiyears record of service of close cooperation with the people’s mujahedin organization , would like summarily inform you of some issues about the people’s mujahedin organization according to your recent speech and support of this group in Villepint in Paris.

First , I must declare my deepest regret that it is unbelievable for me such prominent political figure like you who had been the chairman of the advisory council on immigration and integration , 2002-2004, in Germany , had supported the people’s mujahedin organization .

I must inform you that the people’s mujahedin organization is known as an inhumane organization , against Iranian people , and against the women’s rights among the Iranian people who have been the victims of pmoi terrorism as well as the dissidents of this organization who had worked closely with this organization for years . This organization as Saddam’s private army , had served the dictator of Iraq a lot in killing the Kurds and suppression of the Saddam’s opponents in Iraq .

You are maybe surprised that why I am calling this organization as ¨¨against the women’s rights¨¨ .

Probably you have no idea that Massoud Rajavi , the spiritual leader of this organization , has been using the women in this organization as tools to preserve his leadership power and keep his ideological supremacy and hegemony upon the members of this organization consecutively and forever.

Do you know that a great number of women have forcibly taken out their wombs by the direct order of Rajavi ?

Do you know that Massoud Rajavi has sexually raped a number of women who are the members of the pmoi leadership council?
It is worth knowing that the majority of the members of this organization ,who have been under severe psychological pressures , haven been kept forcibly and misused by the leadership of the organization.

Do you know that the people’s mujahedin organization besides that has done hundreds of terrorist operations , has formally and officially supported the Al-Qaida terrorist organization.

The world will never forget the human catastrophe on 9/11 which took the life of thousands innocent people but Massoud Rajavi ordered directly to celebrate this catastrophic event through different banquets and gatherings and we have never forgotten that Massoud Rajavi said, quote¨¨ this is the fundamentalist Islam which has created such event (9/11) , let wait for the revolutionary Islam when it will emerge like a typhoon.¨¨

The people’s mujahedin organization which its anti-American and anti- Iranian content and essence has not been covert and hidden for anyone , after the US-Iraq war and the downfall of Saddam Hussein ,who was the pmoi’s most powerful supporter and backer , the people’s mujahedin organization began utilizing a new wave of deception by using a new policy. The mujahedin who were chanting anti-American slogans such as ¨¨ Down with USA¨¨ ,and they had different kind of anti -US books and archives and …………etc in Ashraf garrison before the US invasion of Iraq, the pmoi leadership ordered burning and annihilating all those anti-US books and archives, consequently after that there was not any sign of those books and films and ……….etc in AShraf anymore .they began showing themselves as modern organization and pro-USA to whitewash their past and even the killing and assassinating of the US -military advisers in 70,s in American minds. Then they began spending the huge amount of money and making different lobbies to delist themselves from the terrorist list .

They began attracting and bringing the refugees and refugee seekers in European countries to their meetings and gatherings by spending money to show that the Iranian people are still supporting them whereas it is very easy to find out through the internet that the Iranian people know this terrorist organization as the factors and the elements of killings and crime and they have not supported pmoi in the past or in the present whatsoever.

These shows that Mrs. Rajavi establishes in Paris is to deceive the American politicians and to pretend that as if they have the support of the Iranian people.
The people’s mujahedin organization has not renounced and denounced its violent record yet and for this reason every year they commemorate the anniversaries of its different killings and the violence through celebration and banquet .

They are still threatening and intimidating their opponents throughout the world and they suppress any kind of criticism severely and violently either inside or outside of the organization.

This organization has kept its own members as slave and has not ended the misusing of them and their slavery in Ashraf and Liberty yet. This organization plays with the members’ lives and sacrifice them for the sake of its leadership ominous requests. this organization utilizes its own members for the blackmail vis a vis USA and the Iraqi government…..

The actions of this organization clearly show that they have equipped themselves just with the deceptive looks and just because they have been disarmed and they do not have any access to the arms , temporarily they do not carry out any terrorist operations but in future they will use any chance and opportunity to carry out their terrorist assassinations and violent deeds. Rajavi was always saying that quote¨¨ Finding arms for this organization is a very easy task¨¨, and they are just waiting to come out of the terrorist list to begin the killings much easier and by less limitation .

Delisting this organization from the terrorist list is a treason against the Iranian people and it will pave the way for this organization for more terror , violence and threat against the Iranian and the American people.

At the end , I would like to inform you that my friends and I are ready to submit to you more information regarding to the people’s mujahedin organization by more evidence , and documents through face to face meetings or by the mail.

All the best
Nasrin Ebrahimi, Iran Pen

MEK Camp Ashraf

MKO Members Incurable Diseases under High Mental Stress

News reports from the main strongholds of the terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization in Iraq revealed that a large number of MKO members have been infected with different incurable MKO Members Incurable Diseases under High Mental Stressdiseases, and that death toll has increased among members due to heavy psychological pressures and mental distress.

According to a report by the Persian-language Neday-e Haqiqat (the Voice of Truth) website, Maryam Sanjabi, a former ringleader of the MKO, said, "The reason for the high number of cancer and stroke patients among the 3,000-strong population of the MKO is the psychological and mental pressures imposed on them by the MKO ringleaders during the previous years."

She said that over 50 people in Ashraf and Liberty Camps in Iraq have died of cancer, stroke or other incurable diseases during the last 2 years, adding that the MKO leaders do not allow patients to leave the camps to receive treatment in Iraq’s hospitals.

The MKO, whose main stronghold is in Iraq, is blacklisted by much of the international community, including the United States.

Before an overture by the EU, the MKO was on the European Union’s list of terrorist organizations subject to an EU-wide assets freeze. Yet, the MKO puppet leader, Maryam Rajavi, who has residency in France, regularly visited Brussels and despite the ban enjoyed full freedom in Europe.

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 camp are said to be willing to quit but are under pressure and torture not to do so.

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 also argue for the MKO to be taken off the US terror list.

Open letter of the Faryadeh Azadi to Mr. Kobler

the United Nations’ special representative for Iraq and Head of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) Open letter of the Faryadeh Azadi to Mr. Kobler

Mr. Kobler, your peaceful actions and devoid of any violence and the bloody skirmish between the Rajavi’s cult and the Iraqi government in relocating of the Rajavi’s cult captives to the liberty camp and to the free world , has provoked the Rajavis’ anger and wrath against you!

With greetings and respect to you and your colleagues in the United Nations and UNAMI,

First , we should mention that your efforts and struggles in peaceful relocation of 3400 man and woman ,who have been stranded and stuck in Rajavi’s cultic thoughts to the camp liberty and from there to the free world , is a humanitarian deed and very admirable and we as the separated members and the victims of this cult thank you for your endeavors and efforts to relocate our captive friends peacefully and without any bloodshed from Ashraf Garrison to Liberty camp . we know that the cult leadership who have always welcomed the bloodshed and the tension of their members with the Iraqi government , do not like and appreciate your peaceful roadmap and solution for the relocation of their 3400 members and instead of showing their gratitude to you and the United Nations for your endeavors , they have consecutively created spurious and baseless tensions , problems , excuses and obstructions in this peaceful relocation.

We are separated members of this dangerous religious cult who had been living with the cultic thoughts in this dangerous cult for decades so we are completely familiar and acquainted with the real character and the content of this cult.

It is worth knowing that the Rajavi’s cult has an important strategic slogan which its all policies are based upon this slogan:

¨¨ Anyone and any stream that is with me is my friend if not, is considered as my enemy ! ¨¨

This cult ,which its criteria vis a vis any person or any stream is evaluated and assessed by this slogan , tries its best to disfigure and ruin the prestige and the honor of its opponents and critics by attaching them to Iranian regime and the Iranian intelligence service as the mercenaries of the Iranian government to intimidate them and force them to silence . This is the policy which the cult leadership has utilized for decades against its opponents and the dissidents either in or out of the cult. The leaders of this cult have ruined the honor and prestige of their dissidents inside the cult in Ashraf garrison as well as in other garrisons by labeling them as mercenary …..etc, even if someone Inside this cult has a small perspective and point of view in contradiction and different from the cult leadership specifically with Massoud Rajavi’s perspectives, that person will be severely suppressed ,beaten up , tortured physically and psychologically and imprisoned . Right now , we have some separated members among us who have already experienced the Rajavi’s anger and his wrath by being tortured and beaten up and imprisoned just because of their different ideas and point of views with the Rajavis’ , and also they had been labeled as the members of the Iranian revolutionary guards! and the Iranian intelligence service agents ! and even some of them were transferred from the pmoi prisons to the notorious prison of Abu-Qoraib during the Saddam Hussein’s government. These people have mentioned to their experiences of the torture and the beating and the prison in different occasions and they have shared all those experiences with the prominent political figures and parliamentarians and politicians in European countries.

In this regard , we the separated members and the critics of this cult are ready to share with you our experiences and information to help you to become more familiar and acquainted with this dangerous cult and their tricks as well as helping our stranded friends in this cult to be free and rescued from the Ashraf.

Mr. Kobler , the cult leadership by keeping the 3400 man and woman in Iraq during these decades, have taken the gesture of an opposition group by destroying and annihilation of our life and youth and theirs towards the cultic and terrorist objectives. The leadership of this cult considers the shutting down of their main cultic stronghold , Ashraf, as a blow to its years of deceptions and demagoguery through taking advantage of the life of 3400 man and woman ,for this reason the leaders of this cult consider your efforts and your endeavors to relocate those stranded members to liberty camp as an action against their cultic interests and therefore they are trying their best to disfigure and ruin your prestige and honor and even by undermining you and your position to obstruct in the peaceful relocation process of the remaining members to the liberty camp.

Mr. Kobler , the Rajavi’s cult as a result of the years of cooperation and service with Iran’s and Iranian people’s enemy , Saddam Hussein ,specially during the 8 years war between Iraq and Iran, have become very unpopular and outcast among the Iranian people and they do not have any serious and earnest supporters among the Iranian people in and out of Iran ,so the leadership of this cult is trying its best to carry its fake and spurious title as an popular opposition by keeping those 3400 people in Iraq by all means to deceive the foreign politicians to support this cult specially to gain the support of the warmongering factions ,so keeping those 3400 people in Iraq for the leadership of this cult is an undeniable and vital element ,for this reason the leadership of this cult have obstructed so far in the relocation of its remaining members to camp liberty . we assure you that the leadership of this cult will resort to any action to obstruct in the peaceful relocation process because the political and cultic life of this organization depends on keeping those 3400 man and woman in Iraq.

Mr. Kobler , we would like to appreciate and thank you again for all your endeavors to relocate the remaining members to the liberty camp and from there to the free world peacefully. in this regard , we are ready to help you and the United Nations to ease the relocation process as much as possible through face to face meetings or by mail and fax .

Respectfully

Faryade Azadi, Paris

Mujahedin Khalq Organization members' families

Rajavi is not their representative, he is the problem

Open letter of SFF to UN envoy to Iraq Martin Kobler

Mr Martin Kobler, Special Representative of the UN General Secretary for Iraq and Head of the Rajavi is not their representative, he is the problemUnited Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI), reported some facts during the session of the UN Security Council regarding MKO obstructing the evacuation of Ashraf garrison which must be handed over to the government of Iraq. Apparently this report did not please Massoud Rajavi and consequently the so called National Council of Resistance issued a statement and indicated some accusations against Mr. Kobler and the Government of Iraqi.

Mr Kobler advised the UNSC that the patience of the GOI is reaching to its limit and they have every right to impose their rule over their sovereignty and they can no longer close their eyes to the fact that the group is breaking national and international laws and is not cooperating.

Sahar Family Foundation has written a letter to Mr. Kobler regarding the MKO statement which comes below to explain some facts:

United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI)
Dear Martin Kobler

Immediately following your report to the UN Security Council, the MEK issued a statement on 21 July 2012. You had explained that the MEK was obstructing the evacuation of Camp Ashraf which should have been handed over to the Government of Iraq by 20 July. You advised the UNSC that the patience of the GOI is reaching its limit and they have every right to impose Iraqi sovereignty over the camp and they can no longer be expected to close their eyes to the fact that the MEK is breaking national and international law by not cooperating.

The MEK statement claims that “Martin Kobler’s report to the UNSC against the Mojahedin of Ashraf is at the disposal of violence and suppression” and has accused the GOI of being responsible for the deadlock in the procedure of the evacuation of Ashraf garrison.

Everyone knows and everyone except those who have some interests with the cult admits that no one except Rajavi desires violence and suppression and it has been clearly demonstrated that Rajavi is doing his best to lead the situation towards violent clashes. He wants to pretend that the MEK is being suppressed and then try to find excuses to keep Ashraf.

As you have emphasized in your report, at the moment UNAMI and the GOI have no direct and systematic contact with the inhabitants of Liberty and Ashraf. The leaders of the cult claim that the GOI has not fulfilled its commitments. But first the GOI has no duty toward those who have cooperated with Saddam Hussein in creating massacres in Iraq and second as far as the individual residents are concerned the maximum medical and welfare facilities have been provided for them. Rajavi insists that all the necessities be given only to him – as was the deal under Saddam Hussein – and that he not be obliged to give anything to the residents but keep these necessities for himself and his close aides.

The most amazing argument that Rajavi makes is that he claims Liberty is like a prison. According to all those who managed to escape from the cult, Ashraf garrison is the most notorious prison in the world since the prisoners have not been allowed any sort of contact with the outside world, even their families, for decades. This is the case in Camp Liberty as well and Rajavi’s loyalists there impose all kinds of artificial boundaries on the inhabitants.

Rajavi has proven so far that he does not understand the language of kindness and tolerance and of course tries to incite the Iraqis into violent clashes and get more people killed to feed his propaganda machine. His act is like someone who puts his foot against the door of your house and doesn’t let you close it and if you try to push, he cries that you are hurting his foot.

The truth is that Massoud Rajavi still insists that only he can talk on behalf of all the MEK victims and hostages. Yet, all those who managed to escape from both Ashraf and Liberty admit that they had no idea about the outside world and they were afraid of everything outside the organization and so accepted every possible risk when they decided to flee. They all share the same belief that if enough and correct information be given to the members of the MEK in Iraq, they will surely have maximum cooperation with both the UNAMI and the GOI.

The Sahar Family Foundation once again stresses its principal request – which only Rajavi is refusing. All the victims and hostages both in Ashraf and in Liberty must have the right to visit their suffering families freely and independently. So long as this important matter has not happened, Rajavi is able to demand his ransom for the hostages and will not give in.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

MKO Still Glorifies Violence and Militarism

Glorification of a military operation indicates violence is still boiling inside MKO

To many who have met with the large-scale struggle of Mojahedin Khalq Organization MKO/MEK MKO Still Glorifies Violence and Militarismto be removed from the US the State Department’s list of FTO, it is a great shock to see it taking a fierce pride in glorifying its past perpetrated terrorist deeds. Glorification of terrorism is tantamount to engaging in terrorism itself and hardly anybody expects a terrorist group insisting to have abandoned terrorism in favor of a liberal democracy, although there is no written or public record to verify the claim, publically eulogize a military offense.

On 25 July 1988, only days after Iran-Iraq governments accepted the UN Security Council Resolution 598 that called for a cease fire in the eight-year long war, MKO launched its major military invasion onto the Iranian borders. Supported by Iraqi army and its air cover, Rajavi dispatched his estimated 7000 forces National Liberation Army (NLA) to demonstrate his organization’s military potentiality in a four-day lasted operation, namely ”Operation Eternal Light”. In its unclassified 1992 report on MKO, the State Department refers to the operation as an explicit evidence of MKO’s armed struggle and close collaboration with Saddam’s regime.

“The group launched its most significant incursion in June and July 1988, when they coordinated an advance into Iran with Iraqi forces. During the same offensive, Iraqi units in other sectors of the front used chemical weapons against Iran. NLA units briefly seized the Iranian border towns of Mehran, Karand, and Islamabad-e Gharb. The Mojahedin claimed to have killed 40,000 Iranians, but other military observers said the, NLA “just got wiped out” when Iranian reinforcements arrived.”

The operation on which MKO had heavily invested turned to be a total military failure and a proven suicide operation that led nearly 1300 forces, according to the organization’s own report, to their sacrifice. In fact, MKO hurried to take advantage of a no-war no-peace situation created after the ceasefire in limbo, a golden opportunity for Rajavi to take his last chance totally disregarding the high cost it would impose. In fact, he was desperately in need of and search for an outlet out of an inevitable cul-de-sac rather than to accomplish a strategic necessity.

The consequence of MKO’s widespread terrorist operations of bombing and assassination inside Iran and its later out-of-the-border organized hit and run operations perpetrated in the last three decades as well as its broadly launched military operation like that of the Eternal Light was to be globally recognized as a terrorist group. However, the good part is that the history and the recorded facts can never be distorted. And MKO does not seem to have any interest in renouncing its spectacular military venture as it has been condoned by some Western countries when they made a sudden U-turn and decided to delist the group.

Under the Terrorism Act passed in 2006, glorification of terrorism is outlawed in the UK; it was overlooked when a British court ordered removal of MKO from the country’s list of terrorist groups in 2008. However, a state’s decision that meets political interests differs with a nation’s opinion that can easily judge by evident discrepancy between claims and facts. Commemorating the anniversary of a terrorist military offense like the operation Eternal Light is an evident example of the glorification of violence and death-seeking attitude still boiling inside MKO.

UN calls for cooperation to find solutions to relocate Mujahedin

The United Nations refugee agency today called for cooperation, patience and understanding among all parties involved in finding solutions for the 3,200 Iranian exiles residing in Camp Ashraf in Iraq.
Assistant High Commissioner for Protection Erika Feller
In a news release, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said it is currently assessing individual protection needs of former residents of the camp, situated in the north of Baghdad, the capital, in an effort to close the camp peacefully and resolve the situation of its residents.

Camp Ashraf is made up of several thousand Iranian exiles, many of them members of a group known as the People’s Mojahedeen of Iran. In line with a memorandum of understanding signed in December by the UN and the Iraqi Government, some two-thirds of the residents, or nearly 2,000 people, were re-located to a temporary transit location near Baghdad known as Camp Hurriya, where a process to determine refugee status is being carried out by UNHCR. Another 1,286 individuals are still awaiting transfer to the transit centre.

According to the agency, those found to be in need of international protection may have the possibility of being resettled to another country.

“Status determination, however, does not in itself resolve things,” said UNHCR’s Assistant High Commissioner for Protection, Erika Feller. “It must be accompanied by efforts from all concerned, in good faith and in a spirit of international solidarity, to offer resettlement solutions and, in the interim, to assist people to stay safely and decently until such solutions can be materialized.”

UNHCR called on countries to cooperate by allowing for re-admission of individuals having had previous links with them, or by offering resettlement places or other forms of humanitarian admission. It also said it hoped that the Government of Iraq will maintain the asylum option in Iraq pending realization of solutions for these individuals.

In addition, UNHCR appealed to States for financial support, including for the host country to meet costs associated with transferring, hosting, housing, assisting and processing the cases of these individuals until solutions have been found.

MEK Camp Ashraf

UN pitches roadmap to relocate MEK in Iraq

The UN said it has a "roadmap" to resolve a dispute between Iraq and a group of Iranian exiles, but a senior official warned that Baghdad would act if there was no resolution to the row.UN pitches roadmap to relocate Iran exiles in Iraq

About 1,200 members of the People’s Mujahedeen of Iran, opposed to the regime in Tehran, have refused to move from their camp north of the Iraqi capital despite a UN-brokered accord with the government to leave as a first step toward finding homes in other countries.

The exiles cite broken promises by Baghdad as the reason for their staying put.

On Thursday, the UN mission in Iraq said it had presented a roadmap to the Iraqi government and Ashraf residents "that suggests a series of steps to complete the peaceful relocation of residents to Camp Hurriyah (Liberty)."

It called on Ashraf residents to "start the preparations for the next move without delay" and for Baghdad to "be generous when it comes to the humanitarian needs of the residents and to continue to seek a peaceful solution to this issue under any circumstances."

The UN said in a statement that the roadmap "outlines preparations to be made and a step-by-step approach for the relocation."

It also addresses issues such as water and power supply and other humanitarian needs, the statement said without giving full details of the roadmap.

However Shahin Gobadi, spokesman for the exiled opposition National Council of Resistance of Iran, dismissed the roadmap as "an obvious attempt to compel the (Ashraf) residents to relinquish their humanitarian needs."

The Paris-based group said it had sent letters to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on Monday complaining that "minimum humanitarian needs" are not being met in Camp Hurriyah.

A senior official in Baghdad told AFP that the government would act "responsibly to protect the sovereignty and security of Iraq" if a resolution is not reached to the impasse.

About 1,800 inhabitants have moved to the new camp near Baghdad and several deadlines to completely empty Camp Ashraf have passed.

The remainder have refused to move, citing inhuman conditions at the new camp and broken promises on the part of the Iraqi government with regards to the quality of the camp.

Earlier this month, the US government said the Iranian exiles must leave the camp if they are to be removed from Washington’s terror blacklist.

The People’s Mujahedeen was founded in the 1960s to oppose the Shah of Iran, but took up arms against the country’s new clerical rulers after the Islamic revolution of 1979.

The group, which has been on the US terror blacklist since 1997, says it has renounced violence and has asked Washington to remove it from its list of terrorist organisations.
