An Iranian lawmaker says US support for the terrorist Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) emboldens the group to carry out acts of terror, stressing that they should be expelled from Iraq.
“This group, backed by the United States, is seeking to win concessions from the Iraqi government to continue its terrorist and spy operations in the region,” ICANA quoted Seyyed Ramezan Shojaei Kiasari as saying on Friday.
Kiasari pointed to MKO crimes against the Iraqi and Iranian nations and called on Baghdad to meet the demands of both countries’ people by immediately deporting the terrorists group’s leaders to Iran.
“By relying on its constitution which bans activities of terrorist groups [in Iraq], the Baghdad government must strongly resist behind-the-scene pressure from world powers and deliver these criminals to the Islamic Republic of Iran in line with the interests of the Iraqi nation and its neighbors,” he urged.
Kiasari criticized international human rights organizations for their "paradoxical silence" on the MKO’s crimes, saying that such behavior is in line with "the authoritarian approach and policies of the United States and arrogant powers."
The MKO — listed as a terrorist organization by much of the international community — is notorious for carrying out numerous acts of terror against Iranian civilians and officials, involvement in the bloody repression of the 1991 Shia Muslims in southern Iraq, and the massacre of Iraqi Kurds in the country’s north under executed dictator Saddam Hussein.
In December 2011, the United Nations and Baghdad agreed to relocate some 3,000 MKO members from Camp New Iraq, formerly known as Camp Ashraf, in Diyala province to Camp Liberty — a former US military base near Baghdad International Airport.
Tehran has repeatedly called on the Iraqi government to expel the terrorist group, but the US has been blocking the expulsion by pressuring the Iraqi government.

Ashraf. Do they really believe so? Does the State Department believe that physically leaving a camp proves a change in the ideology and beliefs of such group?
Nevertheless, all of Abedini’s previous articles remain archived on HuffPo. Furthermore, Greenwald points out that "The Huffington Post has also repeatedly published Ali Safavi, who is also identified as ‘a member of Iran’s Parliament in Exile, National Council of Resistance of Iran’" and "use[s] his HuffPost platform to propagate standard MeK propaganda." All of Safavi’s posts remain accessible.
on HuffPo: Alireza Jafarzadeh. All of his posts remain live on HuffPo, where he is touted (in a bio written by himself) as a foreign affairs analyst who has appeared all over Western media, speaking on behalf of the terrorist group. Fox News has long featured him as a contributing commentator and he currently runs his own "consulting" firm in Washington D.C. called "Strategic Policy Consulting" which is pretty much just a phony company that manages his own media appearances and lobbying to Congress. One look at his Twitter feed removes all doubt as to Jafarzadeh’s affiliation (at the highest level) with the MeK.

has brutally slaughtered hundreds of Iranians during the 8-year war with Iraq and introduced itself as a murderous terrorist entity and the number one enemy of the Iranian nation.
A wave of American leaders have illegally lined up to get their slice of the MEK bankroll for speaking on their behalf. Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Hugh Shelton said, "Why would we not want to put the weight and power of this country behind an organization that we know stands for the same principles we stand for, and that is the best-organized, best-led organization to take on the current Iranian regime?" Louis Freeh, former Director of the FBI stated that “MEK is leading the fight for freedom in Iran. Just as our military forces fight for freedom on the battlefields, you fight in a more difficult and much more dangerous place."
