As the TTL is planned to be under full control of the Iraqi Government and UNHCR, absolutely in contrast to MKO’s complete control over Camp Ashraf, one of the options to safeguard the integrity of the cult is a quest for any location anywhere to transfer the members all together. Now you can well understand why Maryam Rajavi, the cult’s acting surrogate for her absent husband, appealed to Secretary Clinton…
Further, she demanded that the residents be relocated temporarily to a site near the Jordanian border instead of being located in Temporary Transit Location TTL. The camp she demanded for had been set up as a tent city to accommodate asylum seekers after the US invasion of Iraq in 2003.On February 19, some 397 MKO/MEK/PMOI members were transferred from MKO’s paramilitary camp to a temporary location near Baghdad.
An Iraq-based Iranian opposition group that is fixated on conspiracy theories allegedly carried out attacks in Iran and elsewhere for decades, but now relies on a different weapon: the press release.The United Nations mission here, which has been attempting to facilitate the exit of some 3,400 members of the opposition People’s Mujahedeen Organization of Iran (PMOI) from Iraq, where they have been based for decades, has been the latest target of the group..
There are talks about Ashraf inhabitants. Who is their representative? Is the self-appointed totalitarian leader of a mind control destructive cult recognized to talk on their behalf? Why there are always talks about terrorism but not about mind control? You know well that the latter is the base of the former. Is the US administration making the same mistake as was mentioned in the RAND report and is preserving a cult with terrorist application?
The truth is that, despite claims of MKO aka MEK/PMOI that its first designation was the outcome of a political decision, Americans know well that even if it was a politically-purposeful decision, it was not actually a wrong decision. But it should be reminded that America’s first serious stance against MKO goes back to years before 1997, when the State Department prepared a special and unclassified report on MKO at the request of the US Congress.
The world needs to hear Mrs. Tanter’s story, the stories of the American family members whose loved ones were assassinated by the MEK aka MKO/PMOI during the days of Pahlavi Iran, the role of the MEK in killing dozens of members of the IRI government in Iran in the early 1980s by bomb blasts, the utilization of the MEK by Saddam Hussein against Iran during the Iran-Iraq War from 1980-1988, the role of the MEK in carrying out the murder of Kurds ..
An exiled Iranian opposition group [MKO/MEK/PMOI] being forced to relocate from its paramilitary base in eastern Iraq proposed on Saturday to temporarily move to the Jordanian border instead of Temporary Transit Location near Baghdad.Last month, the Obama administration offered to move the group temporarily to Camp Liberty [Temporary Transit Location ], which once was a base for U.S. soldiers.Iraq wants Camp Ashraf, with more than 3,000 residents, shut down.
“The commissioner doesn’t grant asylum to groups and organizations, rather asylum is granted to individuals under the condition of abandoning violence,”he noted.He added that the UNHCR has opened several ways for talks with a number of European states in a bid to find a third party to host the MKO terrorists…expulsion of the cult members is imminent, while over 1,600 Ashraf residents are willing to return to Iran.
The United States has officially offered the anti-Iran Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) terrorist group a path to get off the US terrorism blacklist.US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told a House committee on Wednesday that the MKO’s aka MEK/PMOI cooperation in a relocation plan from Camp Ashraf on the Iran-Iraq border”will be a key factor in any decision”on whether to take it off the US list of foreign terrorist organizations.
..Clinton rejected the suggestion, saying that no country has raised the issue of the MEK’s terrorist designation with the State Department. And she backed an Iraqi relocation plan that has already taken 397 camp residents to their new, temporary home at the former U.S. Camp Liberty. “There were complications but it was peaceful,” Clinton told lawmakers in the House Foreign Affairs Committee, several of whom have strongly pressed the MEK’s case. ..
