As the Iraqi government proceeds with gaining sovereignty after President Barack Obama officially announced the withdrawal of US forces from Iraqi territory [1], the Iraqi people will face consequences. Also facing consequences, but less publicized is the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO, MEK PMOI, NCRI), a group which has housed its members there for a number of decades in Camp Ashraf
Two more residents of Camp Ashraf escaped the cult today at 2 O’clock am. ..Mr. Mehrdad amiri, 35, and Mr. Hojat Rafiee, 42 were captured in Camp Ashraf of MKO for more than ten years. ..They joined the families who were asleep in their camps at Ashraf gates.

A US citizen has confronted a group of supporters of the Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO/MEK/PMOI) protesting the visit of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to New York. During Ahmadinejad visit New York, the man, who said he was Jewish, objected to the protesters, saying they should have directed their slogans against the US, which he accused of committing crimes… He called the protesters ignorant and said the US supported Israel, which has killed many Palestinians…He told them Israel has many nuclear warheads and they should protest against the real terrorists.

They answered the questions of the reporters and other participants. Many news agencies and public media including some television and satellite channels were present in this gathering.
Despite international sanctions, Iran began fueling its nuclear power plant in Bushehr, a small city on the southwest coast. The sanctions were imposed to prevent Iran from moving forward with its nuclear program, and as this was going on, a slew of propaganda began to emerge in their wake.

Both the State Department and independent experts have raised several alarms about the reliability of the MEK’s claims…
..families of Ashraf residents arrived at Ashraf gates to join the others who have been there since eight months ago..families’ maintenance near Ashraf has become a serious problem to the Camp Commandants.
