Leaders of Molahedin Khalq Organization (MKO/MEK/PMOI) have refused to allow the reunions of Iranian families coming from Iran to meet with their children…The banning is an explicit violation of the rights by the leaders and particularly by Maryam and Masoud Rajavi who are enthusiastically these days advertizing to be its defender and indicates that the leaders believe in the observation of human rights only as a political lever to delude public opinion and the advocates in the West to advance the organizational ends.

Underlining the Iraqi government’s official position regarding MKO terrorist group Aref Tayfour said: So far, no country has expressed willingness to accept them in its soil.In a meeting with Iranian parliament speaker on Wednesday and referring to Larijani’s remarks about MKO/MEK/PMOI parasitical presence in Iraq Aref Tayfour also said: The Iraqi government is determined and is doing its best to displace and expel MKO from Iraq but until now no country has been ready to accept this terrorist group.

… Second Deputy Speaker of the Iraqi parliament, Aref Tayfour, said MKO/MEK/PMOI members must be transferred to a third country far from Iraq and Iran to be unable to infiltrate the borders of the two countries … Late in July, Iraqi security forces stormed Camp Ashraf in Iraq’s Diyala province near the Iranian border and shut it down. Camp Ashraf had been housing some 3,500 members of the terrorist group for years.. The organization is also notorious for using cult-like tactics against its own members and for torturing and murdering its defectors.

A number of MKO members’ families, including their mothers, fathers and relatives on Saturday went to Camp of the New Iraq (formerly known as Camp Ashraf) to meet their sons and daughters but the guards at the camp didn’t allow them to do so and reciprocated their demands with harsh and insulting behavior.

The Iraqi cabinet’s secretary general on Wednesday revealed attempts by the Iraqi government to convince European countries to host the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI), which is currently based in Iraq…“There is no justification for the organization’s members to remain in Iraq,” Allaq added.The official explained that it is not possible for the Iraqi government to look after the PMOI’s aka MKO/MEK members, who are taking refuge in the country, at a time it declares security and reconstruction as its top priorities.

… Sadly, we have discovered that a terrorist cult[MKO/MEK/PMOI] is still calling the shots in your country and that it is because of them that we cannot see those dear relatives whom we have travelled so far, and waited so long to see. Really, what harm can the eight of us do? … Eight visiting Iranians are waiting for your answer; guests in your country. Although we are elderly and weak we have gone on hunger strike.

… From November 2 the families began a hunger strike. They demand that the Iraqi government as the only responsible body in Iraq must take charge and allow the freedom of their children … American Army established a check point to prevent families release their loved ones from a terrorist cult of Mujahedin aka MKO/MEK/PMOI..Efforts by the Iraqi authorities, U.N. representatives, the ICRC and others to facilitate the humanitarian move have been blocked by the Americans..

… To achieve their aims the families have begun a sit-in at Camp Ashraf to demand that the Iraqi government and international community intervene to pressure the leaders of the organization in Camp Ashraf to give their children complete freedom … the Government of Iraq has asked the American side and a delegation from the United Nations and International Committee of the Red Cross and international human rights organization to hold direct negotiations with the leaders of the organization ..the negotiations failed as a result of the absolute rejection by the leaders of MKO/MEK/PMOI
