The Rajavis, meanwhile, have left the residents to the camp. Maryam resides comfortably in Paris, and Massoud is in hiding. What reason, then, for the continued existence of Camp Ashraf? Why do the Rajavis hang onto their followers in their prison-like enclave, even with the deadline fast approaching? They understand well that without the camp, the MEK aka MKO/PMOI would lose its legitimacy, and so, therefore, would the Rajavis.
To prevent such a bloodshed we are convinced, that it is necessary to offer the Ashraf residents the contact to their families and the “real world” outside the gates of Camp Ashraf, to reveal them alternatives to the violent fight for Camp Ashraf, which they presumably do not beware of because of the PMOI/MKO/MEK propaganda and indoctrination. We want to give the people in Camp Ashraf the possibility to recognize, that they can decide on themselves..
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has been trying to arrange to interview the more than 3,000 residents to determine who among them qualifies for refugee status and thus resettlement, but Iraq has yet to allow this…Iraq had proposed that the interviews take place at a Baghdad hotel. Talks were also under way on the possibility of housing those not immediately relocated to third countries at a former U.S. base near Baghdad
It is worth mentioning that the MKO did not send its higher level members for this conflict and tried to send discontented and lower level members through deception and giving false information and by using the phobia of being arrested and sent to Iran. The MKO leaders wanted to get rid of the opposing members and also to use their blood for propaganda. Of course it must be said that the majority of the members did not accept to counter…
Taking into account a humanitarian approach, ADVT presents a more comprehensive definition of terrorism; we believe that other than the direct victims of terrorism who have lost their lives in terrorist attacks, the people who have unwillingly and forcefully been trapped in the cultic structures of terrorist groups are also victims of terrorism.
“The members of Camp Ashraf have been deprived of their most basic human rights which have been recognized by all the world countries and the international bodies,”the rights group said in a letter to the representative of the UN Secretary-General in Iraq, Martin Kobler.The letter underlined that the members of the MKO/MEK/PMOI who are imprisoned in Camp Ashraf are being brainwashed by the ringleaders of the group on a daily basis
The Government of Iraq is very clear that it is dealing with the phenomenon of a dangerous, destructive mind control cult. Unfortunately, Western agencies do not appear to have got to grips with this fundamental aspect of the group and as such continue to fall under the spell of the MEK/MKO/PMOI leaders and their unearthly and insatiable demands. It would be unfortunate in the extreme if the UNHCR did not understand during all its negotiations…
Chief of Iraqi foreign policy commission Sheikh Humam Hammudi said inhabitants of Ashraf camp sought refugee status from Europe and Australia… inhabitants of the camp have embarked on high profile interaction with European and Australian ambassadors to Baghdad seeking refugee status from them. Hammudi reiterated that Iraqi state and nation unanimously want to expel MKO/MEK/PMOI members from Iraq ..
In a letter to the EU Foreign Policy Chief Catherine Ashton, the advocacy group said that ‘the international community has a duty to help members of terrorist organizations around the world including members of Mojahedin-e Khalq (MKO/MEK/PMOI) to be liberated and find their human dignity…the MKO has assassinated 12,000 Iranian citizens, 7 US citizens and thousands of Iraqi citizens over past three decades.
Unfortunately, every time we come here, not only didn’t the leaders of the Camp Ashraf allow us to visit our children, but also they insulted us and replied by throwing stones at us. But we are proud of our resistance against them and our emotional revealing words that caused a number of imprisoned members of the camp find the courage to escape the cult[MKO/MEK/PMOI] and step in the free world.
