Massoud Rajavi assisted Saddam Hussein in massacre of innocent Iraqis. Interpol is hunting for the leaders of the terrorist group Mojahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) known in Iran as Monafqeen or hypocrites.
In an interview with the Mehr News Agency on Tuesday the chief prosecutor of the Supreme Iraqi Criminal Tribunal (ISCT), Jaafar al-Mousavi, said there is evidence to suggest that the MKO had a hand in murdering Iraqi citizens. Al-Mousavi stated that an arrest warrant has been issued against 150 MKO members including ringleaders Maryam Rajavi and Mas?oud Rajavi.
Mousawi further commented that the terrorist group had supported Saddam Hussein’s Baath regime, aiding in the suppression of the Iraqi people’s uprising in 1991 and the torture and massacre of innocent people in the northern and southern regions of the country.
“We have made probes into crimes that the former regime committed with cooperation of various groups, and during the investigations we have collected documents that prove the complicity of Mojahedin-e-Khalq in inhumane actions in southern and northern Iraq in 1991, the so-called Sha baniyyah Revolution,” he noted.
The Organization for Protection of Iraqis’ Rights”called on the Iraqi government to prosecute the MKO leaders, who have been involved in killing more than 780 Iraqis during their presence in Iraq.
“There are legal rulings on the leaders of MKO and PKK. However, what prevents their expulsion from Iraq is that no country is willing to accept them,”said Hussein Kamal, representative of Iraqi Interior Ministry, during”Security Conference”in Damascus.
In an interview with Aswat al-Iraq, he added:”After documents and evidences were collected on MKO’s involvement in killing Iraqis and plundering their properties, the case is now in judicial phase.””American forces can’t protect the MKO against Iraq’s judiciary, which seeks the punishment of the group.”
Amir Abdullahian, the head of Iranian delegation in trilateral talks in Iraq, said in a press conference in Baghdad:”During the meeting of Iranian ambassador to Iraq and his American counterpart, the issue of MKO’s fate in Iraq was not mentioned but its involvement in sabotage operations in Iraq was discussed.”
