Now that the British govenment has acceped that they are not terrorists, they should take them back home immediately
… Massoud Khodabandeh commented: “In this respect de-proscription of the MKO in the U.K. will enable Britain to fulfil its obligations to the members of this group who have been engaged in engineering the violent overthrow of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in close alliance with western interests, for nearly three decades. We cannot expect Iran or Iraq to offer succour to people who have committed acts of violence against the people of those countries. It is clearly the responsibility of the MKO’s western backers to now rescue them.” …
As you may well be aware the MKO is considered as a terrorist cult by many governments and establishments around the world. This organisation is utilising psychological techniques to mentally manipulate its own members in order to make them commit deeds they would not perform in normal status.

Reported by MKO’s official website, in an official letter to Iraqi Parliament the group has asked “to attend the Iraqi Parliament’s open session in order to clarify before the honest Iraqi people by presenting evidences and documents”. …We are thinking what evidences MKO or the so called PMOI can present to gainsay its close collaboration with the ousted dictator who funded them and granted them the deserted military camp of Ashraf to rebuild it a ‘city’; its espionage and military activities, the operation Eternal Light as the group openly boasts, against Iranian people; its accomplice with Saddam’s notorious intelligence service and military units to suppress the insurgent Iraqi Kurds and riding over their bodies commanded by Maryam Rajavi..
Living under the protection of coalition forces, MKO/PMOI has recurrently overpassed limitation of its refugee’s status in Iraq and has engaged in activities that are regarded open interference in Iraq’s domestic affairs. Its Camp Ashraf safe haven has reportedly turned into a bastion of conspiracy against the Iraq’s integrity and sporadic gatherings there are only aimed to escalate ethnic tension and intensify the hostilities the Iraqi government is hard working to end.
