The Necessity of MKO’s Expulsion from Iraq

It’s really great to hear the strong voice that MKO should leave Iraq.

They interfere in Iraq’s internal affairs and we, Iraqis should not give them opportunity to do this. When I heard that news, I was proud and I said to myself that "finally, we have a powerful government that respects itself and the people; a government that is able to make decisions in order to get rid of Saddam’s remnants. Saddam gathered elements of MKO to occupy our country and gave them privileges, which we were deprived of so that we had to go to other countries."

We believe that recent news as a good step and congratulate all Iraqi officials over that. It’s good to see that justice prevails.

MKO’s comments on rejecting Iraqi government (published on Sotaliraq website) indicate that these people don’t respect elected government. Nearly 3000 of them eat and sleep here in our country and speak insolently.

We know the source of these comments, so we ask Mr. Adnan Al-Dulaimi to accept the request of Iraqi and let these people be expelled from our country.

Iran

Dual standards in approaching terrorism

The Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister, Manouchehr Mohammadi, in a speech delivered at the international conference on the culture of resistance held in Tehran said that “given that Iran has been a victim of terrorism more than any other country, it is quite sensitive to it”. It is the first international conference of the kind opened on the anniversary of Morteza Motahhari’s assassination, a victim of the wave of terrors triggered by MKO following the Islamic revolution.

He urged that the United Nations should define state terrorism within the framework of international terrorism and severely condemn it. He said that no comprehensive definition has been presented by the UN for terrorism.

He added that difference of views on terrorism is the most important obstacle facing the UN General Assembly towards campaign against it after 2001.

"Today terrorism has been divided into two types, including good and bad. The present activities of the terrorist MKO group is a clear example of the West’s dual standards in approaching terrorism," he said.

Urging the need for a broad-based definition of terrorism, he said that it should be defined in such a way as to include governments’ use of force (state terrorism).

MKO Supports Segolene Royal

French presidential candidate Segolene Royal received a campaign endorsement from an unexpected quarter on Saturday when an Iraq-based Iranian rebel movement held a rally to support her.

The People’s Mujahedeen of Iran (PMOI), which is listed by the European Union and United States as a terrorist group, claimed that around 4,000 Iranian exiles and Iraqi supporters had gathered in the Iraqi town of Ashraf, northeast of Baghdad.

The guerrilla organisation has a long-standing enmity for the outgoing French President Jacques Chirac and his favoured successor, the Socialist Royal’s right-wing opponent Nicholas Sarkozy.

Photographs released by the group appeared to show a crowd of thousands in a hangar-like hall, and a panel of women behind a banner reading "Women of Iraq, Iran and France: with Segolene, for peace, against fundamentalism."

The women sat in front of three flags — those of Iran, France and Iraq.

PMOI spokesman Shahria Kia said the rally was attended by his group and by Iranian and Iraqi opposition groups who feel Royal would be a better ally than previous French presidents in their battle with the Tehran regime.

A statement from the groups, released to AFP, read: "We ask all of our friends, particularly all the French Muslims, to vote for Ms Royal."

"We are certain that with this choice France will retrieve its values, and will stand beside the oppressed people of Iraq and Iran against fundamentalism and terrorism exported by Iran," it added.

The PMOI, also known as the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq Organisation (MKO), was founded in 1965 by leftist students at Tehran university, and fled Iran after clashing with the Islamist government set up in the 1979 revolution.

It was based in exile in France until 1986, when the then prime minister, Chirac, expelled them.

Saddam Hussein’s Iraq became the group’s new home, and they developed a guerrilla army to launch cross-border attacks into Iran.

The group’s bases were bombed by the US military during the March 2003 invasion of Iraq, but after the fall of Saddam a ceasefire was signed with the Americans, who keep the activists under guard in Ashraf.

Nevertheless, the US State Department continues to list the PMOI as a terrorist organisation, as does the European Union despite a ruling last year by the European Court of Justice that this was unfair.

Female activist Ategheh Khorsand, who addressed the gathering on behalf of the PMOI, said: "French policy, during past 20 years, towards Iran and Iraq is not something for France to be proud of.

"The only concern of this policy has been to attract consent of the religious dictatorship in Iran for financial and trade concession by suppressing the members of the Iranian resistance in France," she added.

Socialist Party flag-bearer Royal will face Sarkozy in the final round of France’s presidential election, which will choose a successor to the PMOI’s original nemesis Chirac.

In June 2003, when Sarkozy was French interior minister, French police raided several alleged PMOI safe houses in France and arrested 160 suspects. Sarkozy warned that the group was trying to make France its rear base.

Iraqi Authorities' stance on the MEK

Reports on Iraqi Surpport for MKO, Baseless

Expressing dissatisfaction over MKO’s activities in Iraq, an Iraqi analyst said "reports on Baghdad-Washington agreements for supporting this group are baseless."

In an interview with Mehr correspondent on a report published in Iraqi website, Al-Malaf, which said Iraqi and American officials had agreed to support MKO, Bassem Al-Awadi said he didn’t think the report was true.

"The reason I strongly reject this report is that Iraqi government’s new policy is based on not interfering in neighboring countries’ affairs; this has been approved by the parliament and is part of Iraqi constitution."

Bassem Al-Awadi, Arab media activist who’s no in London, added: "All Iraqi parties involved in Iraq’s political process stress that Iraq should not interfere in the internal affairs of its neighbors."

"Mojahedin-e Khalq has conducted hostile operations against Iran and tries to strike the country," Awadi said.

"I strongly reject reports that MKO is using Iraqi soil as a base to attack Iran."

Awadi expressed dissatisfaction over the activities of MKO inside Iraq and said: "The fact is that this organization helped former regime of Saddam Hussein to attack Iraqis."

"With respect to what was said, one can conclude that the report is false and that Iraqi government would never make such decision".

Al-Malaf, quoting Shirvan Al-Vaeli, had reported that "Iraqi and US officials have agreed on supporting terrorist MKO". Meanwhile, Shirvan Al-Vaeli has accused the MKO of creating unrest in Iraq.

A New Definition of Democracy

"Britain is the world’s oldest democracy. It is undemocratic, however, for it to break the law by refusing to remove the PMOI from the list," said Lord King of West Bromwich from Tony Blair’s ruling Labour Party addressing a scanty mob supporting the terrorist MKO. The pack, reported now to be on its 26th day, has gathered outside the British Foreign Office in London to protest the continued refusal of the British government to remove the name of MKO from the terrorist list.

Mr. King’s remark challenging the UK’s democracy for the just decision of keeping the proscribed MKO on the list means far beyond support for a terrorist cult. In his lexicon, democracy is defined as support for the terrorists and unleashing them into the society which explicitly challenges his country’s past practice of democracy.

Democracy being so defined, the terrorists are emboldened to draw back the guns under the gowns and to wear mask of pro-democracy.

Europe

Europeans willing to take anti-Iran MKO agents

Iraqi Intelligence Minister Sherwan Alvaeli said some European countries have announced their readiness to host agents of the terrorist Mujahideen Khalq Organization.

According to IRNA, Alvaeli noted previously the Iranian government had also announced an amnesty for members of MKO who had not participated in terrorist operations.

Alvaeli added that currently 4,000 MKO members are residing in Ashraf Camp under the protection of the US troops.

Earlier, chief prosecutor of Iraq’s Supreme Criminal Court, Ja’afar Al-Mousavi, told Baghdad-based Al-Mutamer newspaper that agents of the MKO do not enjoy any legal immunity in Iraq.

Al-Mousavi added that MKO is accused of financial corruption, crimes against Iraqi people and wastage of Iraqi assets.

He announced that a prosecution team is collecting evidence and documents against the terrorist group to try its members.

Referring to the fact that their presence in Iraq is illegal, Al-Mousavi said Iraq’s Supreme Criminal Court will conduct the trial of MKO ringleaders.

Meanwhile, an Iraqi news source revealed that the camp of MKO in Iraq has turned into a training ground for Al-Qaeda terrorists.

IRNA quoted Iraq’s Kurdistan Democratic Party as reporting on April 3 that hundreds of terrorists are undergoing training courses in Ashraf Camp in Baquba, where MKO agents are based, under the auspices of the terrorist group ‘Ansar Al-Islam’.

An Iraqi political official said on condition of anonymity that about 60 terrorists, accused of murder, have escaped to Ashraf Camp to undergo special short-term courses to conduct assassination and terrorist operations against political figures and governmental organizations.
