MEK Camp Ashraf

Mass grave links Mojahedin Khalq to Kuwait invasion

A mass grave discovered in the headquarters of the Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization in Iraq casts light on the crimes the terrorists committed during the 1991 Persian Gulf War. A mass grave discovered in the headquarters of the Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization in Iraq

Police officials in the Iraqi province of Diyalah said Sunday that the mass graves contained Kuwaiti nationals who had fallen victim to the Ba’ath regime’s seven month-long invasion of Kuwait.

“We have been informed that a mass grave has been found in Camp Ashraf. Of course we knew there was a graveyard in the MKO headquarters, but we had thought that it was a place of burial for MKO members,” said Abdulhussein al-Shemri, a local police commander.

If confirmed, the reports would expose MKO complicity in Saddam Hussein’s war on Kuwait, which killed more than 3,664 Iraqis and 1,000 Kuwaitis

MKO leaders are said to have kept the mass grave a secret so far by refusing the entry of Iraqi forces into their base.

The grisly discovery came at a time when scores of regional correspondents were granted a permit by the Iraqi government to prepare a report from Camp Ashraf, where MKO dissidents were stationed for more than two decades.

The incident, however, prompted Iraqi officials to withdraw the permits and prohibit the journalists from conducting video reports from the site.

The MKO is the most hated grouplet among both the Iranian and the Iraqi nations, and suffers from total unpopularity in these two countries.

The Mujahedin Khalq Organization, which blended elements of Marxism and Stalinism, was founded in Iran in the 1960s but was exiled some twenty years later over of terrorism.

The group masterminded a torrent of terrorist operations inside Iran, one of which was the 1981 bombing of the offices of the Islamic Republic Party, in which more than 72 Iranian officials were killed.

A 2007 German intelligence report from the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution has identified the MKO as a "repressive, sect-like and Stalinist authoritarian organization which centers around the personality cult of [MKO leaders] Maryam and Masoud Rajavi".

Maryam Rajavi

Who is Responsible for the Bloodshed and Death in Camp Ashraf?

A legitimate and realistic question that everyone who is against violence and savagery should ask from those authorities who have information about the bloodshed in the Iraqi garrisonI urge all humanitarian organizations to intervene and help those stranded people in that garrison to return back to their normal life named Ashraf. That question is: Who is really to blame?

Let me first review some important and substantial facts about this garrison before proceeding to the answer of this vital question.
This garrison, named Ashraf by the MKO, is an Iraqi base which was granted to Massoud Rajavi, the Supreme Leader and Commander in Chief of the Mojahedin-e Khalq organization (aka MEK, MKO, PMOI, Rajavi cult) by the late dictator of Iraq, Saddam Hussein.

This garrison had been utilized by the PMOI for decades to train its guerrillas for military incursions into Iran’s territory. These guerrillas had been trained by Iraq’s special and elite forces, such as Saddam’s Republican Guards, to become Special Forces who could operate either as a Classic Army or as Guerrilla Fighters in special military missions.

Several military attacks against the Iraqi people during their national uprising against the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein in 1991, were implemented and launched from this Iraqi garrison.

Many Iraqi citizens such as Kurds and Shias were killed or wounded in those attacks. Mr. Rajavi had a very robust and powerful relationship with the late dictator of Iraq. Little by little Saddam Hussein began granting more military garrisons to this organization throughout Iraq, but Ashraf, remained the main stronghold of this organization.

After the fall of Saddam Hussein, the PMOI had to surrender itself to Coalition Forces led by the USA. They handed over all their military means and were disarmed by the US Army. Massoud Rajavi fled Iraq and disappeared because he was involved in killing so many Iraqis during Saddam Hussein’s reign.

Maryam Ghajar Azdanloo also escaped from Iraq and went to Paris, France. She is Massoud Rajavi’s wife and his successor as a Commander in Chief as well. Many military incursions were launched against the Iraqi people and Iranians under her command.

The PMOI in Iraq is finished, especially after the fall of Saddam Hussein and his government. Its military wing, the NLA is completely dysfunctional and impaired because of disarmament. The PMOI’s military trained members who could implement military operations are now over 40 or 50 years old; obviously they cannot be useful in any mission any more. So we come to this conclusion that militarily the PMOI is disabled and disqualified.

The Iraqi Government wants to assert its sovereignty, regain its property, the garrison, and they do not want to keep those people on their soil who cooperated fully with Saddam Hussein against their people.

So now we should ask ‘why do the PMOI want to keep the garrison’? Logically, keeping that garrison is completely futile, especially as the new landlord wants it back.

The only answer I can think of is that the PMOI’s leaders do not want to deal with the destiny of 3500 personnel and members who have been stranded in that garrison for decades. The life of those stranded people in that garrison does not have any value for their leaders. Those people were worth something while they had tanks, artillery, and ammunition. Now they have become old and disarmed, so they are useless for their leaders.

As a result, many members have been wounded or killed during clashes with Iraqi police who legally and legitimately want to take back their garrison and impose Iraqi law over everyone in the camp.

Now Mrs. Maryam Ghajar Azdanloo (Rajavi) has ordered them to go on an unlimited hunger strike. God knows what is the next step that this lady wants to take to exterminate even more lives of those desperate people in that garrison.

She does not want to accept the reality that the PMOI’s military power is over for good, because her sham presidency is based only on the existence of those desperate people in that garrison. So they have to die just because she wants to show off as a sham president elect and they have to die for her ambition and power mongering.

So I, a victim of this organization, hold Mrs. Maryam Ghajar Azdanloo (Rajavi) responsible and accountable for the life and death of those stranded people in that Iraqi garrison. In my opinion no one is responsible for the deaths and wounds of those who were killed or injured in that garrison except her.

I urge all humanitarian organizations to intervene and help those stranded people in that garrison to return back to their normal life as a free person in free and democratic countries. Those people should be rescued from that hell hole, Ashraf, before is too late.
All the best,

A victim of PMOI

Iraq’s obligation of protecting terrorists

In contrast to the United States long classification of MEK as a terrorist group, dating back to attacks by the group in the 1970’s that killed several US military personnel and civilians advising the government of the late Shah of Iran, it stands in full support of the group. MEK supported Iraq In an attempt to take the control of the group’s bastion, Camp Ashraf, Iraqi forces invaded the camp on Tuesdayin its 1980’s war against Iran and enjoyed protected status under Saddam, but it has to leave the country as the new government in Baghdad tries to purge the country of any source of violence that endangers the country’s social security and order.

In an attempt to take the control of the group’s bastion, Camp Ashraf, Iraqi forces invaded the camp on Tuesday but protests from the side of MEK caused numerous casualties and according to reports by Iraqi officials, several deaths. Earlier Wednesday, a State Department spokesman said reports of casualties among camp residents are disturbing and said the United States is seeking more information from the Iraqi government.

Reported by Voanews, the US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Wednesday she deplored the reported raid and said the United States is urging restraint on both sides in a confrontation between Iraqi security forces and Iranian dissidents in a camp east of Baghdad occupied by the Iranian exiles since before the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003.

Soon after the fall of Saddam, the US troops had provided security for the camp but ceded control in February of this year with the transfer of full authority in the country from coalition forces to the Iraqi government. Clinton said Iraq must uphold commitments to the United States that the MEK members will not be mistreated.

"We are very clear that we expect that the Government of Iraq, now that it has assumed this security responsibility, will fulfill its obligations, to show restraint, will not forcibly transfer anyone to a country where such a transfer might result in the mistreatment or the death of that person based on their political affiliation and activities," she said. "But it is now the responsibility of the Government of Iraq."

If full authority in the country from coalition forces is transferred to the Iraqi government, then, it is up to the government to decide for the country’s security by curbing the danger of a terrorist group still recognized a FTO.

Al Rubaie : No Plans to Send Mujahideen-e-Khalq to Pakistan

Iraq National Security Adviser: No Plans to Send Mujahideen-e-Khalq to Pakistan

Iraqi National Security Adviser Dr. Muwaffaq al Rubaie denied that there were any plans to Iraq National Security Adviser: No Plans to Send Mujahideen-e-Khalq to Pakistantransfer members of the Iranian opposition movement Mujahideen-e-Khalq based in Camp Ashraf, northeast of Baghdad, to Pakistan.

“The US forces considered the idea when they were responsible for the security situation in Iraq since the US administration wanted to put them in confrontation with Iran there. But now the Iraqi government is responsible for their conditions and for Camp Ashraf,” Rubaie told Asharq Al-Awsat by telephone from Baghdad.

Al Rubaie stressed that “Iraq is committed to international conventions and to the American administration that it will preserve the security and wellbeing of those present in Camp Ashraf. We will not force them to leave Iraq.” He added, “It is their right to choose whether to return to Iran – on the condition that Iran promises not to punish them – or to go to a third country.”

A leading figure from the Mujahideen-e-Khalq movement spoke to Asharq Al-Awsat on the condition of anonymity and said that this information is “unfounded.” He said, “This is merely leaked news, the aim of which is to discredit the historical decision of Mujahideen-e-Khalq that it was willing to return to the country [Iran] on the condition that fundamental rights could be guaranteed by international parties.”

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Wednesday, “Although the US government remains engaged and concerned about this issue, it is a matter now for the government of Iraq to resolve in accordance with its laws.”

She stressed that the Iraqi government must uphold commitments to protect those living in Camp Ashraf and not hand them over to “any country where such a transfer might result in the mistreatment or the death of that person based on their political affiliation and activities.”

Iraq gives MKO a month to leave

The Iraqi government has set a month-long deadline for members of the terrorist Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) to leave Iraqi soil.Members of the Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) at Camp of New Iraq have to comply with the one-month time limit to leave Iraq.

"Members of the Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) at Camp of New Iraq have to comply with the one-month time limit to leave Iraq. The organization members should either return to Iran or seek asylum in a third country," Diyala province’s Police Chief Major General Abdulhussein al-Shimari told reporters on Saturday.

The MKO has been in Iraq’s northern Diyala province since the 1980s when the former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein dedicated Camp Ashraf – now called Camp of New Iraq — to host the anti-Iran terrorist group.

Iraqi authorities changed Camp Ashraf’s name to Camp of New Iraq on the wake of a two-day Iraqi security force raid on the site. Seven Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization members were confirmed dead and dozens of others were detained.

The MKO, which identifies itself as a Marxist-Islamist guerilla army, was founded in Iran in the 1960s.The terror group was exiled twenty years later for carrying out numerous acts of terrorism within the country and targeting Iranian government officials and civilians within the country and abroad.

The MKO is especially notorious for the help it extended to former dictator Saddam Hussein during the war Iraq imposed on Iran (1980-1988), and also helped the Iraqi dictator spill the blood of many Iraqi citizens who were critical of Saddam’s regime.

The Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization has been blacklisted as a terrorist organization by various countries, including the US and Canada, as well as international entities.

Camp Ashraf attack was the MKO criminals ending

Mr.Hahsemi Nezhad in an interview with Fars News Agency:
Camp Ashraf attack was the MKO criminals ending

Fars News Agency: pointing out the recent attack on camp Ashraf Secretary General of Habilian Association said: This is the end of criminal MKO work because Americans have abandoned them too.

In an interview with political correspondent of Fars news club Seyyed Mohammad Javad Hashemi Nezhad pointed out the unambiguous fate of MKO and said: They wanted to impose their conditions on the Iraqi government, but no country would be ready to allow a part of its soil be occupied by a number of terrorists.

He underlined the necessity of exerting sovereignty by the Iraqi government and said: So far, the Iraqi government has taken a soft line because of Americans.

Secretary General of Habilian Association underlined the Iraqi government’s willpower for putting an end to the existence of this terrorist group in this country and said: MKO is a terrorist organization and no government is willing to accept it.

He added: "These terrorists have committed numerous crimes in Iraq’s soil which is no less than their terrorist operations in Iran and now Iraqis demand with strong motivation their expulsion from Iraq.

Son of martyr Hashemi Nezhad then referred to MKO lack of any bases among Iranian people and said: Iran never considers MKO important and wants it be dissolved like any other criminal organization and its criminal leaders be tried.

The expert in the affairs of MKO also referred to the statements of one of MKO leaders in France who had asked for guarantee from the Iranian government for the entrance of MKO members in the country in groups and said: MKO is not in a position it could determine any conditions.
Hashemi Nezhad added: Even the sponsors of this organization refrain from accepting them in their countries let alone Iran.

He pointed to conditions for granting asylum by the Red Cross and added: MKO was disarmed by Americans by violence and today encounter Iraqi forces with violence which shows their evil nature of violence and terrorism.

He continued: They want to impose themselves on the Iraqi government but as an independent government the Iraqi government seriously demands return of occupied garrison of Ashraf.
Hashemi Nezhad also pointed to the recent statements of American officials and said: these statements are merely propaganda.

He added: MKO tried after the occupation of Iraq to impose themselves on Americans as efficient espionage force; But Americans have now understood that this group has no place in Iran and won’t be useful for Americans too.

He also underlined the necessity of keeping alive MKO brutalities and crimes and said: those who have suffered from MKO terrorist operations must be provided with facilities to reflect these crimes in the world and let the public opinion understand that what shocking crimes in Iran and Iraq has happened due to their support for terrorism.

Son of martyr Hashemi Nezhad went on and said: The activities in the field of disclosing MKO crimes should continue to prevent the terrorist elements of this group be present in different communities in any disguise or under the cover of any front organizations.

He added: Western countries’ neglect is the main cause of MKO presence in different communities; but there are some who are totally unaware of MKO crimes and nature and support this terrorist cult merely for their own political purposes and because they lack better leverage to pressure Iran.

Mujahedin Khalq as an Opposition Group

Rioters Confess to MKO’s Leading Role in Iran’s Post-Election Unrests

Some of the rioters arrested during Iran’s post-election unrests confessed to their links with the anti-Iran terrorist group Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO), and said that they had received trainings in MKO’s Camp Ashraf in Iraq.

"According to the confessions made by those MKO members arrested in recent riots, these people had received trainings in Camp Ashraf to conduct sabotage and terror operations and organized activities (inside Iran)," Deputy Prosecutor-General of Tehran’s public and revolutionary courts Abdulreza Mohebbati said Saturday, addressing the first trial session of the detainees of the recent unrests.

Mohebbati referred to the confessions of one of the MKO members, and said that the detainee became a member of the MKO in 2000 and joined the MKO’s military arm in 2004.

He further said that Reza Khademi, another member of the terrorist group, has confessed that he had left the country illegally and entered Camp Ashraf to receive the required military and information gathering trainings to play a major role in the unrests.

The deputy prosecutor-general of Tehran pointed to Azra al-Saddat Qazi as another MKO member who had been arrested during post-election unrests while throwing Cocktail Molotov at Iranian security forces.

Naseh Faridi is yet another member of the MKO who had established phone and internet contacts with the terrorist group and acted under the cover of a campaign supporter of presidential candidate Mehdi Karroubi, the judiciary official said.

Mohebbati also pointed to Amir Hossein Fotouhi and Mehdi Shirazi as two other members of the MKO arrested during the post-election unrests, saying that the two were arrested by the Iranian security forces while attending an MKO coordination meeting for stirring unrests.

According to Mohebbati, Hessam Salamat is among other MKO members detained by the security forces for his links with MKO’s main agents in Iran.

The Iranian official added that Mohammad Reza Zamani was another MKO member who had confessed to his established and organized contacts with US and Israeli forces. He was also detained by Iranian forces.

Earlier today, a senior MP said all those detained during the unrests should stand trial for a large number of the arrestees are either criminals or members of such anti-Iran terrorist groups as the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) and the monarchists.

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).

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 MKO was put on the US terror list in 1997 by the then President, Bill Clinton, but since the 2003 US invasion of Iraq, the group has been strongly backed by the Washington Neocons, who also argue for the MKO to be taken off the US terror list.
