"Twenty-four judicial cases have been raised till Saturday by Diala citizens against members of Mujahedin E-Khalq Organization, who are using Ashraf Camp in Diala’s Udheim township as their headquarters, among their control on broad areas of agricultural lands, belonging to Diala citizens, along with involvement of the Organization’s members in the assassination of a number of the Province’s citizens and having supported security elements of Iraq’s former regime in detaining large numbers of innocent people and throwing them in jails," Mayor Uday al-Khidran told Aswat al-Iraq news agency.

Mujahedin Khalq 's Function

MKO Terrorists create groups against Iraqi People

Right Group Uncovers MKO’s Huge Soft War Funding in Iraq

Habilian Association, an Iran-based human rights group, reported that the anti-Iran terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) has made heavy investments to gain soft power in Iraq as part of its broader efforts to secure its presence in the country and gain political influence on Baghdad.

According to the Habilian report, the MKO ringleaders have provided financial and structural support for the establishment of over 20 publications and sociopolitical groups in Iraq in recent years in a bid to see their desired government in power.

The report said that the investment was vital for the terrorist group considering that MKO ringleaders tried hard to make Nouri Maliki face failure in his bid for becoming Iraq’s new Prime Minister.

Also, the soft war funding was an urgent necessity for the MKO since its affiliated publications and groups could support the MKO under the pretext of human rights against the Iraqi people and political groups who are growingly demanding MKO’s expulsion from their country, the report added.

Both Iraq’s parliament and government have ratified expulsion of MKO from the country.

Iraqi security forces took control of the training base of the MKO at Camp Ashraf – about 60km (37 miles) north of Baghdad – last year and detained dozens of the members of the terrorist group.

The Iraqi authority also changed the name of the military center from Camp Ashraf to the Camp of New Iraq.

Earlier this month, Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari expressed hope that Baghdad would expel the anti-Iran terrorist Organization from Iraq soon in future.
Speaking to reporters after a meeting in Baghdad with visiting Iranian Foreign Ministry Caretaker Ali Akbar Salehi, Zebari said that he and his Iranian counterpart have discussed expulsion of MKO from Iraq at their meeting.

Asked about the fate of the MKO, Zebari said the two sides "hope to find a way to close the MKO’s case in Iraq as soon as possible".
"There are some humanitarian commitments to which our government is loyal, but fulfilling these undertakings should not harm Iraq’s national sovereignty," he said.
The MKO has been in Iraq’s Diyala province since the 1980s.

The MKO, whose main stronghold is in Iraq, is blacklisted by much of the international community, including the United States.

Before an overture by the EU, the MKO was on the European Union’s list of terrorist organizations subject to an EU-wide assets freeze. Yet, the MKO puppet leader, Maryam Rajavi, who has residency in France, regularly visited Brussels and despite the ban enjoyed full freedom in Europe.

The MKO is behind a slew of assassinations and bombings inside Iran, a number of EU parliamentarians said in a recent letter in which they slammed a British court decision to remove the MKO from the British terror list. The EU officials also added that the group has no public support within Iran because of their role in helping Saddam Hussein in the Iraqi imposed war on Iran (1980-1988).

Many of the MKO members abandoned the terrorist organization while most of those still remaining in the camp are said to be willing to quit but are under pressure and torture not to do so.

A May 2005 Human Rights Watch report accused the MKO of running prison camps in Iraq and committing human rights violations.

According to the Human Rights Watch report, the outlawed group puts defectors under torture and jail terms.

The group, founded in the 1960s, blended elements of Islamism and Stalinism and participated in the overthrow of the US-backed Shah of Iran in 1979. Ahead of the revolution, the MKO conducted attacks and assassinations against both Iranian and Western targets.

The group started assassination of the citizens and officials after the revolution in a bid to take control of the newly established Islamic Republic. It killed several of Iran’s new leaders in the early years after the revolution, including the then President, Mohammad Ali Rajayee, Prime Minister, Mohammad Javad Bahonar and the Judiciary Chief, Mohammad Hossein Beheshti who were killed in bomb attacks by MKO members in 1981.

The group fled to Iraq in 1986, where it was protected by Saddam Hussein and where it helped the Iraqi dictator suppress Shiite and Kurd uprisings in the country.
The terrorist group joined Saddam’s army during the Iraqi imposed war on Iran (1980-1988) and helped Saddam and killed thousands of Iranian civilians and soldiers during the US-backed Iraqi imposed war on Iran.

Since the 2003 US invasion of Iraq, the group, which now adheres to a pro-free-market philosophy, has been strongly backed by neo-conservatives in the United States, who also argue for the MKO to be taken off the US terror list.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

MKO Terrorists Attack Iraqi Tribal Leaders

Members of the anti-Iran terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) attacked a group of Iraqi protestors outside MKO’s main training camp in Northern Iraq and injured several people, including a reporter.

The incident occurred on Saturday after thousands of Iraqi tribal leaders and figures along with a number of reporters had gathered outside the Camp of New Iraq (formerly known as Camp Ashraf) in Iraq’s Northern province of Diyala to call for the expulsion of the terrorist group from the country’s soil, an informed source told FNA on Sunday.

The members of the terrorist group attacked the protestors by throwing stones, glass splinters and also sticks and injured a number of demonstrators, among them the Al-Alam TV channel reporter.

The Saturday rally was the second day of Iraqi peoples’ gathering outside the terrorist group’s hub during which the protestors condemned the direct interference of MKO in the internal affairs of Iraq and demanded the Baghdad government to expel the group from their country.

Caretaker of the Iranian Foreign Ministry Ali Akbar Salehi said on Saturday that Baghdad officials have reached a consensus that based on the country’s constitution and the parliament’s approvals, no terrorist group can be sheltered in Iraq, specially those which seek to carry out terrorist operations against the neighboring countries.

"Iraqi officials vowed to explore ways to resolve the issue of Monafeqin (hypocrites, as MKO members are called in Iran) as soon as possible based on the international laws and Iraq’s internal rules and constitution," he added.

Earlier this week, Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari had expressed hope that Baghdad would expel the anti-Iran terrorist Organization from Iraq soon in future.

Speaking to reporters after a meeting in Baghdad with visiting Iranian Foreign Ministry Caretaker Ali Akbar Salehi last Wednesday, Zebari said that he and his Iranian counterpart have discussed expulsion of MKO from Iraq at their meeting.

Asked about the fate of the MKO, Zebari said the two sides "hope to find a way to close the MKO’s case in Iraq as soon as possible".

"There are some humanitarian commitments to which our government is loyal, but fulfilling these undertakings should not harm Iraq’s national sovereignty," he said.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

Mojahedin Khalq attacked Iraqi demonstrators injuring dignitaries

Sahar Family Foundation reports from demonstration at the gates of Camp Ashraf

As previous reports, yesterday thousands of Iraqi people including prominent Iraqi dignitaries, heads of tribes, reporters and journalists gathered in front of the gates of camp New Iraq (formerly Ashraf) to protest the presence of the military garrison of Rajavi cult (Mojahedin Khalq, MKO, MEK, NCRI) in this land and their direct interference in the internal affairs of Iraq. They demanded that the terrorist organisation be dealt with according to the constitution of Iraq and expelled from the country.

This popular gathering showed the anger of the people of Iraq against the presence of the terrorist cult backed by the US forces still present in the country. The gathering came under attack by the brainwashed members of the Mojahedin Khalq who threw stones using specially made equipment for launching them. The act resulted in the injury of some of the participants including Dr. Nafe the head of the Iraqi committee for the support of the picketing families.

Sahar magazine number 03 which is now published in Arabic was distributed among the leaders of tribes and the personalities and reporters present at this event. Iraqi dignitaries and the picketing families had various interviews with the reporters from a variety of media.

It is now almost a year that the suffering families of the captives inside the camp are continuing their picket in front of the camp demanding the right to visit their loved ones. The families joined the demonstration repeating their demand of free and unfettered access to their captive loved ones inside the camp.

Some TV channels gave coverage to the event and the Alsabah, Al yom alsabe, Al Khalij, Alanba and many other media reported this event in their morning issues – other coverage is also expected.

The Iraqi tribal leaders and personalities signed a petition asking for the deportation of the Mojahedin Khalq from Iraq. NGOs and others have given out statements which will be reported at a later time.

The cult of Rajavi

Rajavi incites brainwashed Mojahedin to burn themselves

Rajavi plans to incites brainwashed Mojahedin Khalq to burn themselves and self-harm after failure of his strategy to escape the crisis engulfing Camp Ashraf

Alnakhel news – confirmed the news from inside Camp Ashraf that after the failure of Massoud Rajavi’s strategy to save the terrorist camp, he has incited the brainwashed Mojahedin to burn Rajavi plans to incites brainwashed Mojahedin Khalq to burn themselves and self-harm after failure of his strategy to escape the crisis engulfing Camp Ashraf themselves to get out of the impasse that surrounds the camp. Alnakhel news agency reported the possibility of the elimination of members with cancer or other diseases in the MKO terrorist group by forcing them to commit suicide by burning themselves individually or collectively.

The aim of the leaders of this criminal group by forcing members to commit suicide or self-immolation is to point the finger of blame at the Iraqi government so that it shoulder more burdens and face more problems at this time.

In addition to the torture of the MKO members, cult leader Rajavi initiated the anti-humanitarian act …to deny families who have gathered at the camp gates from seeing their children, and on the other hand to prevent the families from checking the health of their loved ones.

Iraqi police intervened last week through inspection of the [MKO] hospital, which is part of the sovereignty of Iraq, to provide medicine and doctors. But the MKO leaders took the initiative to send members to injure themselves to prevent the entry of Iraqi police to the hospital.

In this way, the MKO aims to accuse the Iraqi forces of beating its members so as to create a grievance in order to prevent them from deciding in the affairs of the hospital and the need for medicines and doctors to treat patients. This criminal act comes at the time when Rajavi on one hand sends patients to the best hospitals in the Iraqi capital who are treated by the best doctors and specialists, and on the other hand claims he was facing problems in the treatment of patients due to restrictions imposed by the Iraqi government.

It is worth mentioning that the MKO had initiated the liquidation of a number of its members before and after the occupation of Iraq and claimed then that they were killed in U.S. air raids. A number of witnesses dismissed these false allegations out of hand and said they were killed by members of the MKO group.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

MKO Declares Joint Responsibility for Chabahar Blast

Sources privy to the central command of the terrorist Mojahedin-Khalq Organization (MKO) disclosed on Monday that the MKO had collaborated with Jundollah in the last week terrorist blast in Southeastern Iran.

"A source close to the HQ of the National Council of Resistance (Mojahedin-e Khalq, MKO, MEK, Rajavi cult) in Paris told Iran-Interlink of the MKO’s ‘delight’ over the bombing in Chabahar, Iran, last week," Iran-Interlink Website said, explaining that the source made the remarks in a contact with the website.

According to the source, the MKO leaders started celebrations after they were informed of Jundollah’s success in staging the Wednesday terrorist bombing in Chabahar.

"Accordingly, a close circle of MKO leaders in the HQ of the terror group in Paris celebrated the massacre and praised Jundollah, which has claimed responsibility for the terrorist act," Iran-Interlink added.

The website quoted the source as saying that the MKO had been informed of the terrorist attack and had done the planning and provided all the needed logistic supports for Jundollah through its agents.

"Not only was the group informed about the terrorist attack well in advance, but this action was planned and carried out with the logistical help of the Mojahedin-e Khalq operatives based in Paris," it said.

After his capture last year, Jundollah leader Abdolmalek Rigi admitted to links with the MKO.
A suicide attack near a mosque in the Southeastern city of Chabahar on Wednesday killed at least 39 and wounded 93 civilians in a mourning ceremony held to commemorate the martyrdom anniversary of Shiites’ third Imam.

The attack took place outside Imam Hossein Mosque in the port city of Chabahar, in Sistan and Balouchestan province, near the border with Pakistan.

The Pakistani-based Jundollah terrorist group claimed responsibility for the attack.

Also, after Iran arrested Jundollah’s number one Abdolmalek Rigi in late February, the criminal ringleader confessed that he was traveling to Bishkek to meet with a high-ranking US official at a nearby military base to discuss new terrorist attacks on Iranian territory. Rigi was executed in June.

Iran says that there are few remaining elements of the group that the United States and British intelligence services are supporting. Tehran has arrested or killed a large number of the Jundollah terrorists, including the ringleader Abdolmalek Rigi and his brother and Jundollah’s number two man Abdolhamid Rigi.

Former members of the MEK

A former prisoner at Camp Ashraf reveals human rights violations in Mojahedin

A former prisoner in the Mojahedin Khalq base, Camp Ashraf in Diyala province north Baghdad, revealed that he had been subjected to physical abuse and torture by the leaders of Mojahedin Khalq (aka MKO, MEK, NCRI, Rajavi cult.)

A member of the Council of Diyala also confirmed that the members of Mojahedin Khalq are involved in the bombings in the province.

Mr. Macki Rafiee revealed in an interview with Alsabah that he managed to escape from Ashraf prison situated in the north of Diyala and take refuge with the Iraqi forces. He also revealed that he was held by the leaders of the organisation for 15 years during which time he had received various kinds of physical and psychological torture.

He added that he entered Iraqi territory along with other members coming from Paris with a view to pursuing his political aims. But this ended in failure because of the violations against members of the organization in the camp.

He noted that he had received invitations from the United Nations to migrate to Europe or to return to Iran after his escape from the camp, saying he chose to return to his homeland, and to expose the organization’s crimes. He also participated in the peaceful demonstration organized by the Iranian families coming from Iran against the organization.

The Iranian families organized two days of peaceful demonstration outside the headquarters of Camp Ashraf, demanding the release of children detained in the camp, held by the MKO.

He appealed to the demonstrators, who have been living in Iraq since several months ago to follow the fate of their children, and appealed to the Iraqi government to intervene for the release of their loved ones and return them to Iran.

For his part, a member of the Security Committee in the governorate of Diyala, Dalir Hussain Fares Hassan Sayeh, accused MKO members of supporting terrorist groups in the province, and involvement in the bombings in Diyala. In a statement to Alsabah, he said that that the Security Committee of the Council has evidence of the involvement of members of the Mojahedin Khalq Organization in the violence currently witnessed by Diyala, and also evidence of providing financial support for terrorist groups and trying to foment sectarian conflict. He called on the House of Representatives and the government to expel the organization from Iraqi territory.

MEK Camp Ashraf

French refugee Mehdi Fathi dies in Camp Ashraf

Rajavi cult refuses Mehdi Fathi safe passage to France for medical treatment

Mr Mehdi Fathi, a hostage of the Washington backed Mojahedin Khalq (MKO, MEK, NCRI, Rajavi cult) terrorist group died in Camp Ashraf (CIA protected MKO HQ) in Iraq one year after the Rajavi cult (Mojahedin Khalq) leaders refused to allow his return to France for medical treatment.

The leader of the Mojahedin Khalq is a fugitive. He has been in hiding since the fall of his last benefactor Saddam Hussein. But his third wife Maryam Azodanloo (Rajavi), based at the European HQ of the terrorist cult, today blamed the Government of Iraq and Iraq’s Prime Minister Noori Al Maliki, for the death of the hostage.

According to the statements issued by the cult leaders, the deceased, Mehdi Fathi, had been suffering from cancer. He was admitted to Baquba hospital when it was too late for treatment. But the demand for his transfer to his home in France was denied by the leaders of Mojahedin Khalq (Who themselves live under protection of American and Israeli secret services in Paris).

The news of the death of yet another hostage of the Washington-backed Mojahedin Khalq terrorist organisation coincides with a meeting tomorrow morning of Iraqi tribe leaders, Iraqi dignitaries and officials as well as media representatives and reporters at the gates of Camp Ashraf. The meeting includes the families hostages have picketed outside the camp for the last 10 months demanding the simple right to visit their loved ones.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization members' families

The meeting of Iraqi Committee in support of families of Ashraf residents

Who supplied the Parasite equipment to the MKO?

On Thursday, December 9th 2010, the Committee in support of families of MKO hostages led by Dr. Nofe announced that the Committee is to organise a meeting next Saturday (11th December 2010) in front of the southern gates of the garrison which will be attended by the local tribe leaders as well as Iraqi political dignitaries and Iraqi and International reporters.

It is now about a month that the families have been granted permission to picket on the southern and eastern gates of the garrison as well. This allows the voice of families to reach their loved ones taken hostage by the leaders and the commanders of Mojahedin Khalq (Rajavi cult).

The cult leaders have been installing parasite equipment with all sizes of dishes as well as very powerful loud speakers in order to stop the voices reaching people inside the camp.

According to the doctors, the parasite signals used are harmful to the human nervous system and the powerful levels of radio frequencies used can seriously harm people, especially the elderly and sick families present by the gates. Although most of the families are sick and elderly, they have refused to leave and are taking the risk of facing yet another anti-human act of Massoud Rajavi (cult leader) only with the hope of releasing their children from the garrison.

The families have already started a legal procedure in the Iraqi Judicial system which is being processed. The leaders of Mojahedin Khalq (Rajavi cult) have now removed the equipment and parasite dishes since they discovered that reporters are present at the camp.

The pictures of this equipment have been presented to the Judicial system alongside the complaints made by the families. These pictures will be published in the near future.
