In a Sunday statement, Iraqi National Security Advisor Mowaffaq al-Rubaie asked MKO/MEK/PMOI leaders to stop using”torture tactics”against members who want to leave the organization.”The MKO violates the freedom of speech in all possible ways. It does not even follow human rights when dealing with its own members,”the statement said.
The Mojahedin-e Khalq, or People’s Mujahedeen of Iran, said the blockade of Camp Ashraf began Thursday. In late January, Iraq’s National Security Advisor Mouwaffak al-Rubaie said the group must leave Iraq within two months. He added the decision to close the camp, home to about 3,500 people, was irreversible.
The Iranian website Tabnak reports that 64 operatives from the Iranian opposition Mojahedeen-e Khalq organization have been secretly transferred from Iraq to a European country, on Jordanian aircraft, without the Iraqi government’s knowledge.

An Iranian opposition group said Monday that Iraqi troops tightened their siege of a camp north of Baghdad ..The People’s Mujahedeen said Iraqi troops have prevented food and fuel from reaching Camp Ashraf for the past six days ..Iraqi national security adviser Mouwaffak al-Rubaie branded the allegations”totally baseless.”He said People’s Mujahedeen members had taken over a building belonging to the Iraqi army and were preventing soldiers from entering it.

The Iraqi government is trying to send members of terrorist Mujahideen Khalq Organization (MKO) to Saudi Arabian border, an informed source said on Monday.
