Al-Qarawim, quoting Maryam Rajavi as saying”they used us as hostages”, emphasizes that:”In this interview, Rajavi criticized European countries for their approach toward the MKO and expressed regret that they don’t pay attention to MKO’s requests.”
The letter reads,”Upon instruction from my Government, I have the honor to bring the following to your attention: On 16 June 2006 ,the French Government lifted a series of restrictions against a number of the leading members of a well-known terrorist group , namely the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO).”
This indicates that these few Italian MPs are not aware of MKO’s records and that they should be illuminated, which will be done by our embassy. However, we have said that such move in fact encourage the violence.”
Mohammed Majid al-Sheikh, Iraq’s ambassador to Iran, announced that following the new restrictions on the terrorist group of Mojahedin-e Khalq, this group will be expelled from Iraq in a near future.

In a press conference, Nuri al-Maliki announced that the MKO, which acts against Islamic Republic of Iran, is clearly and widely interfering in Iraq’s social and political affairs.
At the meeting, the Iraqi official said Mujahedin Khalq rganization (MKO) who have hatched numerous plots against the Iraqi nation must be expelled from the country.
The new Iraqi government will never allow outlawed organizations carry out attacks against Iran, Iraqi Parliament Speaker Mahmoud al-Mashhadani said here Wednesday.
“MKO is under the protection of the US army and we will expel them permanently after the foreign forces leave our country”.
During a press conference in Tehran, government’s spokesman Gholamhussein Elham, referring to the issue of extradition of MKO members, which has been requested by Iran from Iraq, said:”Iraq also has been a victim of terrorism and both countries seek to eradicate terrorism in the region”.
While Iraqi people widely resist Mojahedin Khalq’s illegal settlement in Iraq because of the group’s close collaboration with Saddam’s Ba’ath regime and its atrocities against innocent Iraqi people, MKO propaganda machine reveal details of the gathering of some 10,000 Iraqis in Ashraf City in support of it.
