Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Monday lambasted the recent move by European and British lawmakers to remove the anti-Iran terrorist group, the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO), from the US black list. “Utilizing the MKO/PMOI/MEK, which is a used card, would be useless for the westerners,”Hassan Qashqavi told reporters in a weekly press conference here in Tehran on Monday.
The Iraqi parliament is seriously pursuing expulsion of the anti-Iran terrorist group, the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO), from the country, an Iraqi lawmaker said on Sunday. “Despite pressures exerted by certain bodies to prevent expulsion of MKO/MEK/PMOI, the Iraqi parliament is following the case seriously,”Iman al-Asadi, a member of the Shiite United Iraqi Alliance (UIA) – the largest bloc in the Iraqi parliament with 83 out of a total 275 seats
Though largely targeting Iranian government officials, PMOI’s(MKO, MEK, Mojahedin Khalq, Rajavi cult) killing of American contractors in Tehran in the 1970s, participation alongside Saddam Hussein’s forces in suppressing Kurdish and Shiite rebellions in Iraq in 1991 and later attacks on Iranian embassies in 1992 earned it a spot on the terrorist lists of several nations … President Bill Clinton included the PMOI on the U.S. State Department’s Foreign Terrorist Organizations list in 1997 following the election of Khatami.
Ashraf is basically a military camp that has undergone disarmament. This point is repeated in other parts of this book too. Therefore, imputing the title city to it has been an inevitable act otherwise there was no rationale behind its survival. .. Mr. Hezarkhani states that selecting the title city for Camp Ashraf is a vital issue that guarantees the existence of Mojahedin and Camp Ashraf. In other words, if Mojahedin failed to call it a city, its destiny would be unclear…Mojahedin do not believe in urbanization in its conventional meaning ..
We are all surprised that MR. VIDAL QUADRASS is helping and backing up such a cruel and bloodthirsty cult which has committed numerous crimes not only against its own members but also against the people of Iraq. Before MR. VIDAL QUADRASS, MR. CASACA, a politician from Portugal, was doing the same job in favor of PMOI, backing up and helping PMOI in European Parliament, but we saw that he lost his popularity in European Parliament and they did not vote for him and he had to withdraw from European politics..
And those who shed tears for such a terrorist group which is rejected by the whole world must be aware that terrorists who have sold their souls to the devil would be prepared to do anything to complete the transaction even if they need to backstab their hosts… for those who are not still convinced, the alternative solution is that they «host» MKO(MEK, PMOI, NCRI, Rajavi cult) in their own countries away from Iraq
Aslan, 35, who spoke Monday before a packed audience at the World Affairs Council in San Francisco to promote his latest book How to Win a Cosmic War: God, Globalization, and the End of the War on Terror, discussed religious ideology and extremism and its destructive impact on the world…the former Bush administration’s self-proclaimed “War on Terror” was never about terrorism. If it were, Aslan argues, the war would have included terrorist groups like ETA , or the Iranian group Mujahideen-e-Khalq..
Ashraf is the military camp of Mojahedin that has surrendered to a superior power by force and still has the parameters and indices of a military camp like putting on military uniform, running morning rituals, military discipline and tens of other instances of practices exercised in most military camps. The fact is that calling Camp Ashraf a city is so irrelevant and ridiculous that in the report about Camp Ashraf written by Manoochehr Hezarkhani, a member of NCRI(MKO/MEK/PMOI), he looses his control and is strongly impressed after finding some parameters like the existence of marketplace and a graveyard
But we also see the Problem, what to do with the inhabitants. They cannot be deported back to Iran without violating international law and human rights and without bringing them in danger to be prosecuted or imprisoned.You can approach your aim easier – try to get the members of the MKO/MEK/PMOI out of the influence-system of this organisation. You should separate them from the groups’ daily grind and try to take them back to reality by getting them in contact with their families and the “normal life” outside the camp.
A group of family members of Camp Ashraf residents, at Nejat Society office in Ahwaz, attended a gathering held by NejatNGO on Friday May 8th,2009. They issued a statement addressing Mr. Nouri Al Maliki, Iraqi Prime Minister,..As families of MKO members, we have been deprived of visiting our beloved children who have been taken as hostages in Camp Ashraf for years. We use the opportunity to ask your Excellency to provide us with a situation that we would be able to visit our captured children who are barred by MKO/PMOI/MEK which violates all international human rights conventions.
