… On the anniversary of 11 September terrorist incident, and while the world media take positions and analyze the incident from different angles, MKO-run media have purposefully remained silent, as they have all through these years … In contrast to its claims of having accepted democratic parameters of the West, MKO / PMOI indifferent position on 9/11 incident indicates its innate duality and its glorification of terrorism
The Shiite-dominated Iraqi Interior Ministry announced September 1 that members of the Iranian opposition group Mujahideen-e-Khalq (MeK) or the so called PMOI had six months to leave Camp Ashraf, the U.S. camp in Iraq where approximately 3,360 members of the group are currently being held. The Saudi daily al Riyadh reported September 3 that the United States and Iran had agreed to hand over members of the MeK (also known as the People’s Mujahideen Organization of Iran) to Iraqi authorities.
Hardly anyone doubts that al-Qaeda perpetrated 11 September attacks had a great impact on Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization, or Mojahedin cult, to make a shift in its terrorist conducts. The global reaction against the attacks and a shown decisiveness to combat against the abominable phenomena of terrorism made MKOto denounce armed activity if not in nature but provisionally in words.The US invasion of Iraq as 9/11’s aftermath and the consequent fall of Saddam actually deprived MKO of a bountiful, reliable strategic ally …
Worried over the hand over of Camp Ashraf to Iraqi government, Maryam Rajavi asked the human rights advocates to support Mujahedin / PMOI members in “Ashraf City”!…Masud Rajavi who has always fantasized to have the position of a political party is not able to show Iranian’s significant support for MKO in the tumult of declining days. Instead of seeking the help of the United States’ authorities and Human Right Communities, why don’t they call for Iranians’ support?
it was emphasized that the families of the members of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) captured in the Ashraf military camp are demanding an urgent meeting with their beloved ones in a place other than the Ashraf camp and without the presence of any person but the members of the family and for adequate duration. They also urged the Iraqi government to fulfill its resolution on the MKO / PMOI.
Hasan Kazemi-Qomi said,”Apart from their criminal leadership, many members of this little group [PMOI / MKO/MEK] are repentant and regretful. In the past couple of years we have witnessed a number of them repatriated and returned to their families. What they explained is a picture of dejection and suffering. Many have endured hardship and they would have taken any opportunity to remove themselves from this grouplet earlier had it been available. Currently, many of them those who were duped and are repentant, would like to return to Iran and we would have to review this matter.”
The families whose children are taken as hostages in Camp Ashraf, asked the Iraqi government to execute the regulation ruled by the council of ministers, based on taking the responsibility of protection of Camp Ashraf from American forces and paving the way for MKO / PMOI expulsion.
US forces have relocated leading members of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) after Iraqi authorities took control of their camp. Following a decision by the Iraqi government to take over the security of the MKO / PMOI headquarters, the US forces relocated selected members of the organization.
Texas officials took 416 children from a polygamist retreat into state custody ..The parents in the sect are accused of being manipulated as it is normal in all sects such as MKO / PMOI where after the Ideological Revolution the spouses were indoctrinated manipulated and eventually forced to divorce and in 1990 during the first Gulf War, they were forced to leave their children under the care of the organization.
Ever since Iraq came under the US occupation, one of the important issues for the Americans has been the way they should treat the Mujahedin Khalq / PMOI who had been operating as an arm of Saddam Hussein against Iran and against the Intifada as well as the political currents opposed to the Saddam regime in Iraq. From the very beginning of the occupation, the US let the MKO / PMOI and its forces stay inside their camps ..
