Iraqi officials announced on Sunday that they have found the bodies of a large number of Iraqi citizens and officials slain by the terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO, also known as the MEK, PMOI and NCR) in a mass grave in MKO’s Camp Ashraf in the Northern Diyala province.
"As proofs and evidence show, the corpses of Iraq’s Shiite citizens, officials, officers, sheikhs and religious scholars have been buried in the mass grave," a high-ranking Iraqi political source said in an interview with al-Mustaqbal al-Iraq news agency.
He said that the corpses belong to the people who were killed by the MKO from 2006 to 2009.
An Iraqi official had informed in early January that several mass graves had been unearthed in Camp New Iraq, formerly known as Camp Ashraf, in the Diyala Province, which was the headquarters of the terrorist MKO before a majority of the group members were transferred to Camp Liberty around Baghdad a few months ago.
Sadeq al-Husseini, the deputy chairman of Diyala’s provincial council, added that the Iraqi Ministry of Human Rights was in charge of determining the identities of the bodies and whether they were Kurds, the residents of southern provinces or from the town of Khalis in Diyala Province.
He said that the bodies were being examined in medical laboratories in Arbil Province, adding that human rights violations in the camp did not seem improbable.
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 grouplet 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 argued for the MKO to be taken off the US terror list.
The US formally removed the MKO from its list of terror organizations in early September, one week after Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sent the US Congress a classified communication about the move. The decision made by Clinton enabled the group to have its assets under US jurisdiction unfrozen and do business with American entities, the State Department said in a statement at the time.
Mujahedin Khalq Terror group
Iran’s Judiciary Spokesman and Prosecutor-General Gholam Hossein Mohseni Ejeii said the West’s support for the terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (the MKO, also known as the
MEK, NCR and PMOI) displays that its mottos about respect for human rights are mere words which meet no action.
"How is it possible that the US and Israel as well as some western countries consider themselves as supporters of human rights, while they paved the way for the killing of and damage to a large number of Iranian citizens through their support for the MKO in the past years," Mohseni Ejeii said.
Instead of blocking the attempts of terrorist groups in line with their mottos about support for human rights, the western countries recognize these groups and endorse the behavior of these terrorist groups through this recognition, he complained.
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).

Iraqi officials announced that a number of al-Qaeda operatives have been trained in the main training camp of the terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization in Iraq’s Diyala province (Camp
Ashraf) to carry out terrorist attacks against the Iraqi people.
"When the MKO elements were still in Camp Ashraf, the al-Qaeda forces were trained in there and the camp had turned into a center for terrorism and killing," Head of the Security Committee of Diyala province Meysam al-Tamimi said.
According to Ashrafnews, Tamimi also said that the Iraqi security forces have found a secret cache of heavy weaponries in the Camp, adding that the MKO had been training the al-Qaeda members how to use these weaponries.
He said that the al-Qaeda members were trained to conduct terrorist operations in the province specially to force the people residing around Camp Ashraf to leave the area.
The mass graves which have recently been unearthed near the main training camp of the terrorist MKO in Iraq’s Diyala province also unveiled a strong bond between the MKO and the Al Qaeda terrorist group.
Speaking to FNA on Sunday, Udai al-Khadran, the governor of the city of Khalis in Diyala province, said Al Qadea and the MKO members cooperated to intensify unrests in Khalis.
He added that the MKO members are involved in Al Qaeda bombing plots and kidnappings in Diyala.
Khadran added that there exist documents substantiating that some Iraqi officials are collaborating with terrorists and have taken bribes to the very same end.

An open letter has been written by Iranians resident in France to French authorities asking for protection against the Mojahedin Khalq terrorist operatives in that country. The letter shows how a
fabricated report by the MEK said to be from The Pentagon is being used to legitimise the physical elimination of critics and survivors of the Rajavi cult.
The report names two of Saddam’s torturers, Mehdi Abrishamchi and Mohammad Mohaddessin, now posing as human rights activists in France, as part of an orchestrated attack by the Mojahedin aimed at eliminating

Dénonciation du « mensonge pentagonien » de Radjavi contre les repentis et les dissidents Iraniens
Lettre de l’association d’Aria adressée aux autorités française et au parlement européen
Paris, le 16 janvier 2013
Mesdames, Messieurs,
Chers présidents,
Depuis le début de l’année 2013, l’organisation des moudjahiddines du peuple d’Iran (OMPI) et ses différentes divisions ont lancé une vaste campagne spectaculaire contre les iraniens libéraux et les repentis de cette organisations.
Les leaders des moudjahiddines cherchent à neutraliser l’effet que les efforts des iraniens et des repentis peut avoir dans le sens de l’éclaircissement de l’opinion publique c’est pourquoi ils essayent de dévier les intentions en accusant les repentis et les iraniens libéraux de collaborer avec les gardiens de Qods et les agents iraniens de renseignements. De cette manière, les leaders des moudjahiddines etoufferont leurs dissidents à jamais.
Le dernier projet mensonger de l’OMPI s’est affiché dans le grand rapport légendaire Pantagonien ( !) sur le ministère iranien des renseignements dont seule, l’OMPI prétend son existance. Or, à ce jour aucun rapport de cette nature n’a pas été publié ni par le Pantagone et ni par le Congrès !
Mais l’OMPI ayant installé la base de ses activités terroristes en Auvers sur Oise, avec ses lobbies, a essayé de compléter son tableau de mensonges en falsifiant les logos et la signature de Pantagone afin de mieux vendre ses contrevérités.
Lorsque Massoud Radjavi et ses séctateurs ont subis l’echec juridique au tribunal de Paris sans pouvoir brader leurs accusations à travers d’un ouvrage signé par Monsieur Yves Bonnet et sans parvenir à convaincre leurs vieux lobbies habituels au parlement européen, alors ils transferent le centre de leurs chantages immoraux aux Etats Unis pour épingler ce faux rapport aux autres récits anti iraniens dont cette organisation est la productrice. D’ailleurs ce prétendu rapport est resté un énigme car aucune institution Etatique ne l’a approuvé. Il est évident que ce rapport restera dans le tiroir du bureaux des soi disant politiciens qui reçoivent 160 milles de dollars pour dix minutes de présence et de discours aux côtés de Maryam Radjavi !
Depuis quelques années, les moudjahiddines multiplient les efforts afin de limiter les activités de leurs dissidents. Pour cette fin, ils ont rencontré quelques colonels américains en les invitant à Paris pour rendre visite à Maryam Radjavi. Mais ces visites n’ont pas apporté le résultat recherché par les Radjavistes alors ils décident de solder leurs lobbies américains en faisant publier ce faux rapport dans les divers journaux sous le couvert d’une annonce publicitaire qui comprend une nouvelle sécuritaire et ultra importante venant de nulle part ! La télévision de CNN diffuse également cette annonce alors que le contenu parle d’un rapport fictif élaboré par le Congrès, le département d’Etat et le Pantagone ! Il est évident que le seul objectif d’un telle manœuvre consiste à terroriser les autorités européennes de sécurité et par conséquent isoler les dissidents de l’OMPI dans le continent vert.
Suite à la diffusion de cette annonce, les moudjahiddines ont orchestré une série de fanfares anti iraniens et anti repentis, en mobilisant leurs lobbies européens qui se réfèrent à la publicité de CNN pour exiger l’expulsion des repentis et des dissidents de l’OMPI, systématiquement présentés par cette organisation comme les agents iraniens de renseignements installés en Europe. Dans ce même sens, le comité parlementaire britanique avec la direction de Lord David Wddington et le groupe parlementaire des amis d’un Iran libres en Belgique, et certains mercenaires français étant dirigés par Massoud et Maryam Radjavi, Mehdi Abrishamtchi et Mohammad Seyed Almohadessine sous le couvert d’un groupe intitulé «les deux assemblés de l’Angleterre et du parlement européen » exigent l’expulsion de la famille ‘’ Khodabandeh’’ de l’Angleterre et l’association d’ARIA de la France.
Chers responsables
Après les recherches menées aux Etats Unis, en Allemagne, en France et en Belgique, il s’avère que ce prétendu rapport de Pantagone n’existe pas réellement et c’est une tentative de manipulation dont les moudjahiddines engage via leurs réseaux dans les divers pays afin de noircir leurs dissidents et d’autres militants de l’opposition iranienne en Europe. Or, le contenu de ce rapport se trouve exactement dans les différentes publications et communiqués de l’OMPI, étant répétés dans de multiples reprises par la télévision des moudjahiddines.
Le brouhaha des moudjahiddines, leurs objectifs et la terreur morale des dissidents
Les moudjahiddines tentent de manipuler l’opinion publique et atteindre les objectifs suivants :
Terroriser les dissidents, les repentis et les iraniens libéraux avec les accusations infondées telles qu’ agents iraniens de renseignements …
Semer la terreur, sacrifier et exercer la pression sur leurs adversaires politiques afin d’évacuer le champ
Dévier et falsifier des actualités à leur gré pour s’échapper à la responsabilité de 30 années de terreur en Iran, en Irak et en Europe
Fuir le grand échec en Irak
Se venger de la démolition de l’organisation des moudjahiddines du peuple avec la chute de Saddam
Se venger aveugelement des repentis, des dissidents et des iraniens n’ayant pas souhaité d’approuver les démarches anti patriotiques de cette organisation
Se venger des familles des victimes et des membres refugiés au camp de Liberty
Souffler sur la braise des faucons en Occident
La vigilance des Etats et les autorités de sécurité
Avec un regard sur les dix dernières années, nous constatons facilement que les efforts des iraniens, des repentis et des dissidents de l’OMPI ont joué un rôle significatif dans la représentation de la réalité de cette organisation sectaire. Tous les services sécuritaires des pays européens ont également pu réaliser que les propagandes de l’OMPI contre ses dissidents ne servent qu’à fuir la vérité que les moudjahiddines n’ont jamais voulu admettre.
Les activités des iraniens et des associations opposés au terrorisme Rdjaviste , de l’Irak à l’Europe ont été clairement exercées dans le cadre de « la loi 1901 relative aux associations » et avec la permission de la police locale. Contrairement aux shows de Radjavi, pour aucune des activités socioculturelles des repentis et leurs amis , les mauvais acteurs des film de James Band n’ont pas été engagés par contre la police et la loi ont convenablement apporté leur soutien à ces efforts. Alors les acharnements de Radjavi contre ses dissidents sont constitués autours de plusieurs accusations infondées, de mensonges et de terreur morale dont ils peuvent être jugés par les tribunaux européens.
L’association d’Aria souhaite alerter les autorités judiciaires et sécuritaires de la France et d’autres pays européens en insistant sur le fait que toutes ces manœuvres sont conçues ,programmées et soutenues par les commandants des moudjahiddines installés aisement en Auvers sur Oise. Selon le communiqué du département d’Etat américain ces terroristes expérimentés (les moudjahiddines) ayat été expressément désarmés par les forces américaines après l’invasion de l’Irak n’ont vraiment pas renoncés à leurs manières terroristes et ils ont repris les mêmes méthodes terroristes dans la persécution de leurs dissidents en leurs faisant subir des harcelements moraux et juridiques.
Nous sommes prêts à dénoncer toutes activités terroristes des moudjahiddines dans les tribunaux français et demandons que les autorités françaises prennent les mesures nécessaires pour arrêter la machine de terreur véhiculée par les mensonges de cette organisation en Auvers sur Oise. La machination de Radjavi dégrade la tranquilité, l’esprit et les biens des iraniens dissidents de l’OMPI en les rendant plus accessibles aux menaces et aux dangers dont les sectaires Radjavistes peuvent leur causer !

Iran’s Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN Gholam Hossein Dehqani called on the United Nations to hold an international conference attended by all countries’ high-ranking officials
to study ways of fight against terrorism.
"The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) assumes the present measures to counter terrorism in the international arena as to be inadequate and calls for increased movement by the international community in this regard," Dehqani who was addressing a UN Security Council meeting on behalf of the NAM said.
"Increasing multilateral cooperation among countries under the supervision of the UN can act as the most effective tool to counter international terrorism and therefore, NAM offers to hold an international summit under the UN supervision to study and give a shared response to terrorism and its different forms," he added.
Dehqani also condemned the politically-tainted and double-standard behavior of certain states towards terrorism, and describing it as an obstacle on the way of decisive campaign against terrorism.
In relevant remarks in December, Iranian Vice-President Mohammad Reza Rahimi voiced Iran’s strong support for all-out cooperation in the war on terrorism, but meantime underlined the need for identification and removal of the root causes of this devilish phenomenon.
"Extremism, terrorism and violence is not acceptable any noble and rooted culture, religion or nation. The Islamic Republic of Iran as the biggest victim of terrorist operations in the region and the world in the recent years expresses its readiness for comprehensive cooperation in fighting terrorism," Rahimi said in the 11th Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit meeting in Kyrgyz Capital city of Bishkek at the time.
He further stressed Tehran’s emphasis on "the identification and eradication of the roots" of terrorism as a main task which needs to be taken by the international community.
Iran has long been a victim of the US and Israeli terrorism, specially state-sponsored nuclear terrorism. The US and Israeli spy agencies have admitted that they have assassinated Iran’s nuclear scientists and tried to infiltrate virus and other types of malware into Iran’s cyber network to hinder the country’s progress in the field of civilian nuclear technology.
Western spy agencies, collaborated by the terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO), have assassinated several Iranian scientists in the last three years.
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 grouplet 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.

The US formally removed the MKO from its list of terror organizations in early September, one week after Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sent the US Congress a classified communication about the move. The decision made by Clinton enabled the group to have its assets under US jurisdiction unfrozen and do business with American entities, the State Department said in a statement at the time.

The mass graves which have recently been unearthed near the main training camp of the terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization in Iraq’s Diyala province unveiled a strong bond between the MKO and the Al Qaeda terrorist group. 
Speaking to FNA on Sunday, Udai al-Khadran, the governor of the city of Khalis in Diyala province, said Al Qadea and the MKO members cooperated to intensify unrests in Khalis.
He added that the MKO members are involved in Al Qaeda bombing plots and kidnappings in Diyala.
Khadran added that there exist documents substantiating that some Iraqi officials are collaborating with terrorists and have taken bribes to the very same end.
Earlier in January, an Iraqi official said several mass graves have been unearthed in Camp New Iraq, formerly known as Camp Ashraf, in Iraq’s Diyala Province, which was the headquarters of the terrorist MKO.
Sadeq al-Husseini, the deputy chairman of Diyala’s provincial council said that the Iraqi Ministry of Human Rights was in charge of determining the identities of the bodies and whether they were Kurds, the residents of southern provinces or from the town of Khalis in Diyala Province.
He said that the bodies were being examined in medical laboratories in Arbil Province, adding that human rights violations in the camp did not seem improbable.
Later a report by the website of the Habilian Association, a human rights NGO formed of the families of 17000 Iranian terror victims, said that the MKO executed a number of disobedient members and buried them in a mass grave in Camp Ashraf before leaving the place.
The report added that Seyed Taleb Mohammad Hassan, the head of Diyala provincial council, was quoted by Iraqi Kurdistan Navkho news agency as saying that "relevant bodies have investigated the corpses in the mass grave and found out that some of those buried in there had been executed by the MKO".
Further investigations showed that these murdered individuals "have been killed for criticizing or opposing the MKO", he added.

organisation, Diyala Provincial Council reported that another mass grave has been unearthed in Camp Ashraf. According to this report, the MEK has executed a number of its leaders and cadres and buried them in Camp Ashraf.
President of the Diyala Provincial Council Mr. Taleb Mohammed Hassan confirmed that the remains of some bodies found inside the grave belonged to people who died of natural causes, and there are people buried inside the camp after the MEK executed them presumably because of their dissent.
Parliamentary sources have previously reported that the remains of Kurds had been discovered in Camp Ashraf in a mass grave. In this case, Diyala Provincial Council said the remains now uncovered are those of the members of the MEK itself and do not relate to any other persons.
Analysts have found that the UK uses various controversial strategies to support MKO terrorists.
The Mujahedeen-e Khalq Organization (MKO), an anti-Iran terrorist group, whose members are stray across Europe and the U.S., receives all-out support from the UK government through
various controversial strategies, according to detached members.
In December 2012, it was revealed that an unnamed British company has bought the movable property of Ashraf Camp, located in the eastern Iraqi province of Diyala near the Iranian border, worth $25 million. It also offered the Iraqi government $500 million for the camp, media reports said.
The unnamed company then declared that 60 percent of the proceeds of the transaction will be given to MKO terrorists.
The terrorist group was uprooted from Iraqi soil as stipulated in the country’s law.
The MKO, which is responsible for the deaths of 17,000 Iranians since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, fled to neighboring Iraq in the 1980s. The group received military training from former Iraqi dictator Saddam and set up its camp near the Iranian border in order to be able to carry out terror acts inside Iran.
The group also cooperated with Saddam in the massacres of Iraqi Kurds and in suppressing the 1991 uprisings in southern Iraq.
Later in December 2012, a former MKO member, Massoud Khodabandeh was interviewed on Press TV’s political program The Monarchy where he pointed out that the anti-Iranian terrorist group would not survive without support from Britain and other Western states.
“I don’t see any terrorist organization capable of continuing, unless somebody wants it. Somebody has got to want this terrorist organization [MKO], somebody has got to finance it and somebody has got to arm it,” Khodabandeh said.
“One of the reasons that I am saying they have support is; not facing them directly to stop their violent activities in the West and to stop their money laundering in the West. When I say money laundering, I have been in it, I have seen it. This is not an unknown concept for the British government”, he added.
In a documentary called Cult of the Chameleon, aired on Al Jazeera back in 2007, Khodabandeh’s wife Anne Singleton, also a former MKO member from Leeds, UK, explained how she was manipulated and taken into the cult by active MKO terrorist group members, while she attended Leeds University in the 1970s.
“When I became a full-time cult [MKO] member, I gave up everything that I had. I gave up my home and all the possessions in it,” Singleton said on the documentary.
Singleton eventually ended up in the Ashraf garrison for further manipulation and military training. Later on, she managed to escape the prison-like garrison, but with difficulty.
Apart from Iraq and Iran, the European Union (EU), Canada and even the United States had listed the MKO as an active terrorist organization. So how was the cult allowed to freely manipulate, promote and recruit members for itself in a prominent British University?
Moreover, a website called UK Committee in Support of Ashraf (UKCSA) is a London-based organization which openly supports the MKO. The organization has published articles and interviews and proposed the idea of removing the MKO from the US State Department’s list of foreign terrorist organizations.
The UKCSA presents the Ashraf camp with pictures of greenery, flowers and natures, making it look like an attractive location for visiting.
The UK-based website also makes out that it is a legal campaign helping people in the Ashraf garrison who are allegedly sick and that donations are needed to support ill patients in the camp.
More UK support for the MKO came as in April 2012; the American Free Press website reported that Britain takes part in hidden operations in the Middle East to train MKO terrorists to target Iranian scientists and officials.
“MEK fighters have also been trained at secret Middle East sites by special forces teams from Britain, the U.S. and Israel and have been supplied at U.S. taxpayer expense with state-of-the-art weaponry and surveillance gear”, the report said.
The MKO is behind a number of assassinations and bombings inside Iran. A number of EU parliamentarians previously condemned a British court decision to remove the MKO from the British terror list.
MEK and other anti-Revolutionary groups has launched attempts to wield their impact on the upcoming Presidential Elections in Iran, to be held in June 2013. Other groups inside Iran have shown their interest in elections, though.
According to this report, members of MEK, a terrorist group, entered Iran illegally and were doing sabotage and terrorists acts during the street uprisings in Iranian 2009 presidential elections. They launched an attempt to extend the riots.
Mujahedin-e-Khalq, also known as Monafeqin, have committed more than 19,157 murders of Iranian citizens since 1979. They also have killed 5 US militaries.
Iran Khabar Agency is one of the news agencies of the MEK terrorist group, which, during 2009 Iranian presidential elections, reported false stories about the elections with the objective of spoiling image of Iran in international scene.
This website has been active since recent few months and published reports about 2009 presidential elections provocative stuff about upcoming elections. In one such act, the terrorist group has contacted citizens in Tehran as polling institutes and made proactive questions as ‘ was 2009 presidential elections a fraud?’, or ‘ do you think that, if your favorite candidate is not elected, will you go to the streets and protest?’.
U.S. and Canada delisted the terrorist organization from their terrorist list despite their red pages of crime against more than 19,000 Iranians. This provides opportunity for MEK to act freely against Iranian government and people.
MEK is such a hated entity in the view of Iranians, that even Iranian opposition groups deny their relationship with MEK.
Discovered mass graves are a miniature sample of MKO’s democracy in a greater world
Just after the downfall of Saddam, the Iraqi dictator, tens of mass graves were discovered around
Iraq, where thousands of Iraqis had been buried after apparent mass executions. The discovered graves accounted for a plainly shocking fact that how Saddam got rid of his opponents with no sense of remorse or mercy. And now after the evacuation of Camp Ashraf, a bastion for his mercenary forces, additional dimensions of crimes committed by his mercenaries have been unearthed.
The latest reports endorse that the terrorist Mojahedin Khalq Organization (MKO/MEK/PMOI/NCR), known as witting accomplices in Saddam’s crimes, have been talented students of the late criminal master. As an Iraqi official says, several mass graves have been unearthed in Camp Ashraf. Reportedly stressed by Sadeq al-Husseini, the deputy chairman of Diyala’s provincial council, the Iraqi Ministry of Human Rights is in charge of determining the identities of the bodies and to whom they belong; Kurds, Arab local residents or else. Regardless of the bodies’ identities, they have been human beings either slaughtered by Saddam, MKO’s forces or in joint operations. In any case, the responsibility is on MKO as it has long been dwelling on the bones of these bodies concealed from the outside and the parents and relatives who never heard any news of them.
The huge controversial feature of the MKO was its decision in 1983 to ally itself with the former Iraqi regime of Saddam. Arriving at an agreement, Massoud Rajavi moved, along with his loyal ring-leaders and majority of his forces, to Baghdad in 1986. Forming the National Liberation Army there with Saddam’s aid, he dispatched his forces to fight alongside Iraqi forces against Iranian troops that led to further diminishing of MKO’s credibility inside Iran. Moreover, a number of Iraqi Shi’ites and Kurdish organizations have alleged that MKO forces played a role in the suppression of the so-called Safar Intifada of March 1991 against the former Iraqi regime.
MKO’s collaboration with Saddam against Iraqi people exerted a dramatic impact on the group’s internal relation that led to serious inter-organizational problems as well as external challenges. Several dozen members announced their defection and deserted Camp Ashraf protesting among other things the group’s complicity in the suppression of Kurdish and Shi’ite uprisings in the aftermath of the Kuwait war. The arrival of these former members in Europe and their organized attempts at spotlighting the alleged abuses and deviations of the organization, led MKO to intensify its character assassination campaigns against its former members and to label them as the agents working for Iranian regime.
A slew of detentions inside MKO camps and torture at the hands of senior members were also the harsh reaction against the protests. But soon the outside world came to be notified of what was going on within the group when a credible and high-profile human-rights organization for the first time revealed and verified the testimony of the detached members. The 28-page HRW report, “No Exit: Human Rights Abuses Inside the MKO Camps”, details how dissident members of the group were tortured, beaten and held in solitary confinement for years at military camps in Iraq after they criticized the group’s policies.
With the fall of Rajavi’s bastion, the world will see more of the democracy he has promised to establish. These mass graves are just a miniature sample of a future democracy in a greater world. Many facts have already come out and this is not the last one which follows.
