Head of an Iraqi human rights group says Iraq seeks to try in absentia the members of the terrorist Mujahedin-e Khalq organization (MKO, a.k.a. MEK and PMOI) in Iraq…He said the people of Tuz Khurmato, who are victims of the MKO and the trial is going to be held in their city, expressed happiness and satisfaction over the issue.
Mujahedin-e Khalq organization is not complying quickly enough with the Iraq’s calls on the terrorist group to complete the move from its former military camp. So the Diyala provincial officials are giving the grouplet a new deadline to fully evacuate Camp Ashraf.
