..Helen Park presented the government’s reasoning behind its recommendation that Tameh be declared inadmissible for permanent residency status in Canada …Tameh was a cell leader in the Mujahedin-e-Khalq group (MEK) when he lived in his native Iran from 1979 to 1982. Even as late as 1993, after he was imprisoned for his support, Tameh was warning its members that the police were after them,…
the adopted process by MKO verifies illegitimacy of the organization as a political organization and best lists it as a cult of personality. Thus, the process becomes known as a technique of persuasion. In Mojahedin organization, they employ a variety of techniques to change a member’s personality. It is common that a free man has a pile of different point of views and personal tastes and experience of his own career. But thoughtfulness and having the power of reasoning and understanding is in contradiction with the dominant hegemonic leadership within the Mujahedin. A unanimous thinking route is believed to decrease any objection, disagreement and criticism and makes all liable to obedience. Thus, any member had to pass a long process of personality change.
Since my separation from your organization and stepping into the free world one and a half years ago, I have concluded, through a variety of studies, that Mujahedin organization is definitely a cult …It is typical of cult leaders to take nobody’s advice and it is a vain attempt to change them….Camp Ashraf in Iraq will have no better ending than David Koresh’s Mount Carmel complex outside of Waco in Texas or the Peoples Temple’s Jonestown located in Guyana in South America.
..The existing gap in the laws grants terrorists the opportunity of propagating their violent policies just in the heart of the modern and democratic world…. Now we see he has taken the first step to make England a safe haven for MEK by bringing it out from the terror list. The move is encouraging other proscribed groups, and Al-Qaeda of course, to start defending their rights! I in my turn congratulate Prime Minister for his initiative measure …
…Regardless of their sharing of strategic interests, Rajavi and Saddam’s tie was rooted in a mutual historical and ideological understanding. How is that in a value system that well justifies ties to a tyrant against oppressed people it also rationalizes solidarity with the same people after the fall of the tyrant. Paradoxical as it may seem, it is possible only if the solidarity is looked upon from the angle that the new alliance follows the same previous line of the tyrant and the Sheikhs are not true representatives of Iraqi people …
…Ali Al-Dabbagh said the arrest warrants were issued because of the interference of MEK leaders in Iraqi affairs and also threatening Iraqi officials by phone….Emphasizing the fact that terrorist MKO’s presence in Iraq is unacceptable, the head of Iraq Unity Coalition said that the Mujahedin group’s activities in Iraq are illegal….Friday prayer leader of Najaf in Iraq, pointed to the cooperation of terrorist MEK with Saddam’s security and intelligence services and in suppressing Iraqi people’s uprising …
The MKO /Mujahedin Khalq for nearly two decades enjoyed the backing of the previous regime of Iraq, and Saddam Hussein was their first state sponsor. With the support of the former Iraqi dictator the Mujahedin organization managed to carry out many sabotage activities against the civilians inside Iranian cities as well as participating in suppressing the Iraqi’s uprisings in the north and in the south of the country.
… An embarrassing aspect of the American pin-prick war against Iran is that many of its instruments were previously on the payroll of Saddam Hussein. The MEK even played a role in 1991 in helping to crush the uprising against the Baathist regime at the end of the Gulf war …
still it is of significance that what might be the consequences of the move by the UK and its impacts on the structure of the organization and the captivated members in Camp Ashraf….Many countries, including the UK, disallow the entry of these members on the grounds of terrorism and especially because of the terrorist tag the organization carries…
Writing in the New Yorker magazine, Hersch said the tempo of operations against Iran has escalated in recent months, with cross border raids by US Special Forces, and the funding of indigenous armed oppositon groups ..Another group allegedly benefitting from the fund is the Iraq-based opposition Mujahedeen Khalq Organization (MKO aka PMOI)..The group was attacked by US forces during the 2003 invasion, but now reportedly benefits from American support.The Iraqi government has ordered the MKO to lay down its weapons and leave the country.
