Bijan Nyabati, a left member of NCRI, MKO’s political branch, in a recent jeremiad in Persian lamented the Qana village tragedy of thirty seven innocent Lebanese women and children killed under the Israeli heavy shelling. In fact, deliberately or unknowingly, he swam against MKO’s policy taken towards Israel.
The restricted members have to suffer against their own will. At a time when they are in need of urgent action by the international institutions, the camp commanders, supported by the occupying forces, have prohibited any visit to the camp. At the same time, the heads of the organization running a comfortable life in European countries, organize rallies to weep crocodile tears over the members’ serious condition in Camp Ashraf.
Affairs Shirvan Vaeli, talking on the issue of Mujahedin Khalq Organization stated:
“We are now preparing a comprehensive plan which requires approval of the government to expel the MKO from the country by the year end”.”We strongly follow up the case because the MKO seeks to hatch plots against the Iraqi nation which has angered the Iraqi people,”he underlined.
Quoting the Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki reported by ISNA, Iran Focus, MKO’s mouthpiece, announced that the country was working to end the presence of the Mojahedin terrorist group on Iraq’s territory. “It was decided to limit the actions of this group and confine them to Camp Ashraf, north of Iraq, and prevent their contacts with ministers and government agencies”, al-Maliki said.
the new Iraqi government intends to expel not only the foreign forces but also all the outlawed groups including Mojahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) regardless of the group’s initiated vast propaganda blitz to stabilize its stay in Iraq. As confirmed by Iraqi Parliament Speaker Mahmoud al-Mashhadani on July 6 in a meeting with his Iranian counterpart”MKO is under the protection of the US army and we will expel them permanently after the foreign forces leave our country”.
While Iraqi people widely resist Mojahedin Khalq’s illegal settlement in Iraq because of the group’s close collaboration with Saddam’s Ba’ath regime and its atrocities against innocent Iraqi people, MKO propaganda machine reveal details of the gathering of some 10,000 Iraqis in Ashraf City in support of it.
Many Iranian sympathizers of the MKO residing in Western countries are misguided by the group’s vast propaganda, demonstrating itself as the only vehicle to help establish democracy and freedom in Iran. Some opposing the current Iranian Government for their own reasons, voice support for a terrorist group,
following Maryam Rajavi’s arrest in France, a number of Mojahedin’s sympathizers, reported 20, committed self-immolations in streets of Paris and other Western cities to obtain her liberation. Commonly believed, these acts of self-burning were organizationally preset acts of dissent dictated to the members who practiced them.
Maryam Rajavi’s arrest and its aftermath gave the states and the public opinion the opportunity to see behind the pseudo-democratic face of Mojahedin. Accused of terrorist activities, association with a terrorist organization and financing terrorist operations, the French Police raided the office of MKO at Auvers-sur-Oise and arrested 164 suspected Mojahedin cadres as well as Maryam Rajavi.
Following a roadside bomb explosion on May 29, 13 Iraqi workers were killed and 15 more were wounded. The victims have ever since, however, been feeding the Mojahedin’s propaganda machine to secure the cult’s protected status and, if possible, ensure political asylum.
Some Western figures are quoted by Mojahedin to have urged Iraqi government to take necessary steps to ensure the security and safety of Camp Ashraf.
