Iraqis call for Mujahedin Khalq expulsion

People in Iraq’s Diyala province organized a protest in front of Camp Ashraf where the Mujahidin Khalq terrorist organization or MKO members are residing.
The tribal leaders stated that they attended the protest to call on the government to respond to public demands to evacuate the camp from the country.People have been calling on Iraqi officials to expel the organization from their country, and described their presence in Iraq as a chronic disease.

Key individuals turned out for the protest including tribal leaders, clerics and local government officials.
Protesters have been shouting,”leave our country”, and carried anti-MKO slogans to express their intolerance towards the presence of the organization that they say has caused so much pain in their lives.

The tribal leaders stated that they attended the protest to call on the government to respond to public demands to evacuate the camp from the country.

In response to the protest, the MKO members gathered behind the safety of barbwires, throwing insults to the protesters.
Local Iraqi officials say the MKO members who claim they are only guests in Iraq should start acting like guests, and stop showing disrespect to the citizens of this country.

MKO has been in Iraq’s Diyala province since the 1980s and was part of Saddam Hussein’s war against Iran during that period.

The group is especially notorious in Iran for having sided with former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein during the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war.

Following the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq, US troops disarmed the MKO members at Iraq’s Camp Ashraf, where they were based, and surrounded it until Iraqi forces took over responsibility for the camp in 2009.Download Iraqis call for Mujahedin Khalq expulsion

Iraqi and Iranain Families protest against Mujahedin Khalq in Camp New Iraq

A large number of Iranian and Iraqi families staged a massive protest outside the main training center of the anti-Iran terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) in Iraq and called for the freedom of their relatives and children who are under various types of torture and pressure by their ringleaders inside the camp.
The protestors demanded the Iraqi government and all human rights groups and organizations to provide the ground for the freedom of their children from the notorious Camp Ashraf, and urged closure of the terrorist hub.
Among the demonstrators were families of the MKO members, who say their loved ones are being held inside the camp against their will.
The MKO ringleaders are reported to be using torture and pressure on their own dissident members, barring the dissident members from leaving the organization and joining their families.
Earlier this month, an Iraq-based right group unveiled that ringleaders of the MKO have resorted to various forms of mass killing in a bid to bring the group out of the current impasse in Iraq.
According to a report by Iraqi daily Motamar, also published by Edalat (Justice) Society web site – an organ of the families of the Iranian victims of terrorism – the Iraqi right group has sent serious warnings to civil society and human rights bodies as well as the Iraqi government about the ongoing humanitarian disaster in the MKO’s main training camp in Northern Iraq.
The Sahar Family Foundation also said that the MKO’s ringleaders are forcing the dissident members of the group to commit suicide, and if they refuse to do so, the leaders massacre defectors themselves.
The right group called on the Iraqi judiciary system, international court of justice and all international human rights bodies as well as the Iraqi and international media to take urgent action to stop the human catastrophe in the camp which, they said, now looks more like a slaughterhouse.
A November report by the Habilian Association, an Iran-based human rights group, said that under the direct order of MKO’s Ringleader Maryam Rajavi, leaders of the terrorist group in the Camp of New Iraq (formerly known as Camp Ashraf) allow their members to receive medical aids, healthcare and other services in return for given levels of cooperation.
Based on the order, dissident members are deprived of medicine and other medical services or, at least, face much hardship and difficulty in procuring their necessary medicines.
The right group added that the new measure came after protests remarkably increased inside the group, specially in the camp. Right groups are gravely concerned that a large number of MKO members may lose their lives soon if UN, human rights and Iraqi officials do not force the group leaders to end their tortures and pressures against the dissident members.
In relevant development, a report revealed in November that Ahmad Razzani, a veteran member of the MKO, had been killed inside the Camp.
According to an August report by the Habilian Association, the MKO leaders have increased their pressures and control over the members of the terrorist group to prevent possible defection and escape by unsatisfied members.
Reports also said that all exit and entry doors have been locked and none of the members, even those suffering from acute diseases and illnesses, are allowed to leave the camp.
MKO ringleaders have ordered the camp guards to stage snap inspections of the group’s members and their personal belongings under the pretext of finding the lost weapons.
Such behaviors have sparked discontent among a number of MKO members and made them escape the camp and return to their anguished families.
The MKO is behind a slew of assassinations and bombings inside Iran, a number of EU parliamentarians said in a letter last year 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).
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.

Iraqi Authorities' stance on the MEK

Iraqi organizations demonstrating in front of Camp Ashraf

Thousands of members of civil society organizations from across Iraq, Saturday, gathered in front of Camp Ashraf, home to more than 3400 members of the PMOI in Diyala, demanding that the Iraqi government develop mechanisms to remove the organization from Iraq.

Member of the Organization of Unity for Human Rights in Diyala, Hamid Abdul-Majid al-Obeidi, said in an interview for Alsumaria News, the Iraqi government is to "develop mechanisms to remove the Iranian MKO from Iraq because it is the main reason behind lack of security and stability in the province of Diyala".
Obeidi said that his organization had "a lot of information recorded and submitted to the security forces in Diyala, which confirms the involvement of agents of the MKO in financing and supporting al Qaeda in Diyala."

For his part, lawyer, Zia Karim said that "the leaders of the MKO at Camp Ashraf reject orders made by the Iraqi justice system for the exit of some members of the MKO from the camp at the request of their families."

Karim said that “the leaders of Camp Ashraf and in particular the head of the organisation is being asked to accept the just demands of the ones who want to leave the organisation and to allow them to leave the camp”. He stressed that, “we also demand the government of Iraq to take responsibility to implement the orders of Iraqi officials as well as the Judiciary system and uphold the rule of law in Iraq”.

The lawyer revealed, "I have more than 75 powers of attorney from the Iranian families to take their children out of Camp Ashraf, especially when the children are subjected to torture at the hands of the leaders of Camp Ashraf, because they want to get out of the camp."

He continued by saying, "I will raise a lawsuit against the leaders of Camp Ashraf, where they are accused of preventing some members of the organization from access to their legal rights and do not allow lawyers and non-governmental human rights commissions and neutral bodies to enter the camp and give those individuals the right to decide to stay or leave."

Along with a description of the representative NGOs that participated in the demonstration today in front of Camp Ashraf, Fadel Daami, emphasized the position of the Iraqi government toward the obvious need to remove the MKO from Iraq.

Daami said to Alsumaria News, "The Iraqi government’s position is clear and is not a secret that it wants to expel the members of the Organization from Iraq. He added, “there is pressure on the Iraqi government as in the case of the PKK (the Kurdish PKK in Turkey) as the existence of organized opposition cause embarrassment to the government among its neighbors."

The Iraqi forces, comprising nearly a thousand members of the army and the police force, moved into Camp Ashraf earlier this year. But members of the MKO used batons and knives to prevent Iraqi security officers from discharging their duties, which led to the outbreak of fighting and injuring about two hundred and sixty people from both sides and the arrest of twenty five members of the MKO.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization members' families

The meeting of Iraqi Committee in support of families of Ashraf residents

Who supplied the Parasite equipment to the MKO?

On Thursday, December 9th 2010, the Committee in support of families of MKO hostages led by Dr. Nofe announced that the Committee is to organise a meeting next Saturday (11th December 2010) in front of the southern gates of the garrison which will be attended by the local tribe leaders as well as Iraqi political dignitaries and Iraqi and International reporters.

It is now about a month that the families have been granted permission to picket on the southern and eastern gates of the garrison as well. This allows the voice of families to reach their loved ones taken hostage by the leaders and the commanders of Mojahedin Khalq (Rajavi cult).

The cult leaders have been installing parasite equipment with all sizes of dishes as well as very powerful loud speakers in order to stop the voices reaching people inside the camp.

According to the doctors, the parasite signals used are harmful to the human nervous system and the powerful levels of radio frequencies used can seriously harm people, especially the elderly and sick families present by the gates. Although most of the families are sick and elderly, they have refused to leave and are taking the risk of facing yet another anti-human act of Massoud Rajavi (cult leader) only with the hope of releasing their children from the garrison.

The families have already started a legal procedure in the Iraqi Judicial system which is being processed. The leaders of Mojahedin Khalq (Rajavi cult) have now removed the equipment and parasite dishes since they discovered that reporters are present at the camp.

The pictures of this equipment have been presented to the Judicial system alongside the complaints made by the families. These pictures will be published in the near future.

MEK Camp Ashraf

French refugee Mehdi Fathi dies in Camp Ashraf

Rajavi cult refuses Mehdi Fathi safe passage to France for medical treatment

Mr Mehdi Fathi, a hostage of the Washington backed Mojahedin Khalq (MKO, MEK, NCRI, Rajavi cult) terrorist group died in Camp Ashraf (CIA protected MKO HQ) in Iraq one year after the Rajavi cult (Mojahedin Khalq) leaders refused to allow his return to France for medical treatment.

The leader of the Mojahedin Khalq is a fugitive. He has been in hiding since the fall of his last benefactor Saddam Hussein. But his third wife Maryam Azodanloo (Rajavi), based at the European HQ of the terrorist cult, today blamed the Government of Iraq and Iraq’s Prime Minister Noori Al Maliki, for the death of the hostage.

According to the statements issued by the cult leaders, the deceased, Mehdi Fathi, had been suffering from cancer. He was admitted to Baquba hospital when it was too late for treatment. But the demand for his transfer to his home in France was denied by the leaders of Mojahedin Khalq (Who themselves live under protection of American and Israeli secret services in Paris).

The news of the death of yet another hostage of the Washington-backed Mojahedin Khalq terrorist organisation coincides with a meeting tomorrow morning of Iraqi tribe leaders, Iraqi dignitaries and officials as well as media representatives and reporters at the gates of Camp Ashraf. The meeting includes the families hostages have picketed outside the camp for the last 10 months demanding the simple right to visit their loved ones.

The cult of Rajavi

MKO Ringleaders Resort to Mass Murder to Come out of Crisis

An Iraq-based right group unveiled that ringleaders of the anti-Iran terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) have resorted to various forms of mass killing in a bid to bring the group out of the current impasse in Iraq.

According to a report by Iraqi daily Motamar, also published by Edalat (Justice) Society web site – an organ of the families of the Iranian victims of terrorism – the Iraqi right group has sent serious warnings to civil society and human rights bodies as well as the Iraqi government about the ongoing humanitarian disaster in the MKO’s main training camp in Northern Iraq.

The Sahar Family Foundation also said that the MKO’s ringleaders are forcing the dissident members of the group to commit suicide and massacre defectors.

The right group called on the Iraqi judiciary system, international court of justice and all international human rights bodies as well as the Iraqi and international media to take urgent action to stop the human catastrophe in the camp which, they said, now looks more like a slaughterhouse.

A November report by the Habilian Association, an Iran-based human rights group, said that under the direct order of MKO’s Ringleader Maryam Rajavi, leader of the terrorist group in the Camp of New Iraq (formerly known as Camp Ashraf) allow their members to receive medical aids, healthcare and other services in return for given levels of cooperation.

Based on the order, dissident members are deprived of medicine and other medical services or, at least, face much hardship and difficulty in procuring their necessary medicines.

The right group added that the new measure came after protests remarkably increased inside the group, specially in the camp. Right groups are gravely concerned that a large number of MKO members may lose their lives soon if UN, human rights and Iraqi officials do not force the group leaders to end their tortures and pressures against the dissident members.

In relevant development, a report revealed in November that Ahmad Razzani, a veteran member of the MKO, had been killed inside the Camp.

The report said that the move by the MKO ringleaders came after they failed to brainwash their inferiors to convince them to distant themselves from their family members who have been residing and waiting outside the camp for the last 10 months demanding freedom of their relatives.

The right group said after the brainwash policy and efforts of the MKO leaders failed, discontent and protest has both widened and deepened among MKO members.
Earlier reports coming out the camp had said that a large number of MKO’s deprecating members started riots and angry protests to end their forced presence in Camp Ashraf.
According to an August report by the Habilian Association, the MKO leaders have increased their pressures and control over the members of the terrorist group to prevent possible defection and escape by unsatisfied members.

Reports also said that all exit and entry doors have been locked and none of the members, even those suffering from acute diseases and illnesses, are allowed to leave the camp.
MKO ringleaders have ordered the camp guards to stage snap inspections of the group’s members and their personal belongings under the pretext of finding the lost weapons.
Such behaviors have sparked discontent among a number of MKO members and made them escape the camp and return to their anguished families.

According to international human rights bodies, the MKO has a completely black record in human rights. Many of the MKO members have 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.

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.

Iran condemns West for using MKO terrorists to assassinate scientists

Senior MP Hails Powerful Stance of Iranian Delegation in Geneva Talks
The Iranian negotiating team showed a powerful presence in its talks with the Group 5+1 (the five permanent UN Security Council members plus Germany) in Geneva and managed to defend the country’s stances on different issues, a senior Iranian legislator said on Wednesday.

"Owing to its powerful position-taking prior to the talks and following the demand of the people’s deputies (at the parliament) for the team’s firmness and seriousness, the negotiating team managed to prevail its logic over the talks," Head of the parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Alaeddin Boroujerdi told FNA today.

Reminding that questioning the western countries for their illogical attitudes and unjustified support for the terrorist groups and their silence on the assassination of Iran’s nuclear scientist, Majid Shahriari, was among the major issues pursued by the Iranian delegation, Boroujerdi reiterated that the Iranian team defended Dr. Shahriari’s rights and condemned the West during the talks.

"It was stressed during the talks that assassination is a failed method and it can not at all influence the Islamic Republic of Iran’s iron will in restoring its rights on the international scene," he added.

In the first round of talks with the world powers in Geneva, Iran’s chief negotiator Saeed Jalili questioned and condemned the West and the 5+1 countries for the assassination of Iranian nuclear scientist Dr. Shahriari in the entire session, an agenda of talks which more looked like a trial of the western powers by the Iranian team.

Dr. Majid Shahriari, a university lecturer and prominent nuclear scientist, and Iranian university professor Fereidoon Abbasi Davani were assassinated in separate terrorist bomb attacks here in Tehran last week. Dr. Shahriari was killed, while the second scientist escaped the attack.

During the meeting in Geneva, Jalili blasted the West’s silence on the recent terrorist moves against the Iranian elites, and said, "Resorting to terrorist moves to prevent Iran from acquiring science is a combination of fascist and medieval spirits, which undoubtedly deserves condemnation, but this (condemnation) has not yet been done (by the West)."
He described the Iranian nation as the greatest victim of terrorism, and noted, "Iran has so far lost 13,000 citizens in terrorist attacks conducted by MKO (anti-Iran terrorist group, the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization) that is supported by the West. The same trend is repeating again."

Today in Geneva,Iran slammed west for lecturer assassination by backed Mojahedin Khalq (MKO, MEK, NCRI, Rajavi cult) Terrorists
 

The secretary of IRI’s Supreme National Security Council has condemned the West and G5+1 for the terrorist attack which led to martyrdom of an Iranian lecturer.

"Last week on the same day terrorists targeted two Iranian scientists and one of them was martyred," Jalili said.

"Iranian nation has been the biggest victim of terrorism," Jalili said.

"Iran has lost 1,300 of its citizens because of the terrorist attacks of Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) who are supported by the west," he added.

"Now the same trend is being repeated," the secretary of the SNSC said.

Jalili and EU Foreign Affairs Chief Catherine Ashton opened the talks between Iran and the G5+1 — Britain, China, France, Russia, and America plus Germany — in Geneva on Monday.

UN

Letter of picketing families from Lorestan province to the UN General Secretary

In the Name of God

Honorable General Secretary of the United Nations,

With respect, we are a number of families from Lorestan province (west of Iran). We have taken all the hardship and accepted all the risks to travel to Iraq and to the gate of Ashraf camp, the base of Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) in Iraq, to visit our children. It is 10 days now that we are waiting here and it is more than 30 years that our loved ones are confined by Rajavi.

Although visiting prisoners is our known right, but Masoud and Maryam Rajavi deny it by violating the most basic human rights and the families’ rights regarding the prisoners.

We expect you to adopt all possible means in order to let the mothers and fathers be able to visit their seized children in Ashraf after so many years to ensure their physical and mental health.

We urge the UN, while condemning Massoud Rajavi the leader of MKO, to demand him to respect the global human rights charter and respect the rights of prisoners and their families.
With many thanks and regards

West; safe haven for terrorist Mojahedin Khalq

They kill women and children in the name of war on terror but their capitals are safe havens for terrorist Mojhedin Khalq (MKO, MEK, NCRI, Rajavi cult)

‘UN rights papers ignores cultures’
UN documents on human rights have been written with complete disregard for cultures other than the West, Iran’s human rights Chief Mohammad-Javad Larijani says.
“The United Nations is supposed to be home to all the nations, not just the home of the United States and England,” Larijani was quoted by IRIB News as saying on Sunday.
“Human rights documents largely overlook other cultures particularly the Islamic culture, we have to fully compensate [for this],” the top adviser to the leader of the Islamic Revolution added.

“Today those [countries] that have gone to war to thwart terrorism, have risen against nations, killing women, men and innocent children in the name of their war on terrorism,” Larijani continued.

“Their capitals have turned into safe havens for terrorists,” he said.

Larijani was referring to the European Parliament playing host to the notorious leader of the Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO), Maryam Rajavi, on the first day of December and only two days after the assassination of a nuclear scientist in Iran.

The MKO terrorists were voted off the EU list of terror organizations, following a European court ruling in favor of the group.

The “Rajavi cult” as they have become to be known, has claimed responsibility for many deadly attacks against Iranian and Iraqi civilians and cooperated actively with the regime of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.

In one of their deadliest attacks, the MKO carried out a 1981 bombing that killed Iranian Judiciary chief Ayatollah Mohammad Beheshti and 71 other senior officials.

Among their most recent terror activities is the 1999 assassination of the chief-of-staff of Iran’s Armed Forces, Ali Sayad Shirazi, just outside his house in the early hours of April 10th, as he was preparing to leave for work.

MKO is notorious for the cult like tactics it uses against its members, and the murder and torture of its defectors.

Numerous articles and letters posted on the Internet by family members of MKO recruits confirm reports of the horrific abuse that the group inflicts on its own members and the luring recruitment methods it employs.
