The terrorist group issued a statement condemning Iraq for beating and injuring its members. The story reverberated around the western news media that &ldquo;a statement by the People&rsquo;s Mujahedeen Organization of Iran said its members were beaten with sticks, metal bars, stones and other objects, leaving 20 people wounded.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p> Ironically, the U.S. Department of State made no reference to such horrible (!) events in its press statement released Wednesday August 29, 2012. Instead, the Department&rsquo;s spokesperson appreciated the government of Iraq since it &ldquo;has made considerable efforts to achieve a peaceful and secure resolution for the residents of Camp Ashraf.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p> On another occasion on Tuesday August 28, 2012, Victoria Nuland who leads the Daily Press Briefing at the State Department reiterated, &ldquo;We commend the fact that the Iraqis are working well to help move these individuals.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p> The question is here that why the mainstream media give cold shoulder to these statements as well as the remarks of an Iraqi official when he says &ldquo;we found military equipment in the group&rsquo;s stuff.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p> You can see the statement of a terrorist group published in many news agencies, but you will not see the remarks of Diyala province police commander when he says that a number of body armors, combat boots and night vision cameras have been discovered inside the suitcases of some female members of the group.<\/p>\n<p> Jamil al-Shamri added that the attack was due to the inspection of their stuff.<\/p>\n<p> The United Nations has said frequently that it &ldquo;monitors the relocation process,&rdquo; but the terrorist group also accused UN special representative for Iraq of lying and misrepresenting conditions at Camp Liberty.<\/p>\n<p> Is the true nature of this group hidden to them? Didn&rsquo;t they notice the frequent insubordinations of the terrorist group towards the government of Iraq and United Nations? How about the late-July U.S. State Department&rsquo;s statement in which Victoria Nuland praised positive measures of the Iraqi Government, such as &ldquo;transporting the cargo convoy of 300 additional air conditioners, several large water tanks, additional generators, and three specially-equipped vehicles for residents with disabilities&rdquo; from Camp Ashraf to Camp Liberty and its commitment to a &ldquo;peaceful resolution&rdquo; of the stalemate?<\/p>\n<p> She added that the time is now for the leadership of the Ashraf residents to &ldquo;take a similarly constructive step and immediately resume the relocation of residents&rdquo; from Camp Ashraf to Camp Liberty.<\/p>\n<p> Is there anyone out there who is not familiar with the bloody history of MEK and its cooperation with Saddam Hussein?<\/p>\n<p> The terrorist group was founded in 1965 to oppose the U.S. backed Pahlavi regime and adopted Marxism as its ideology.<\/p>\n<p> After the victory of Islamic Revolution in 1979, the group supported the take-over of the U.S. embassy but soon turned against the Islamic Republic and waged an armed conflict against the Islamic government and ordinary people.<\/p>\n<p> During the Iraqi imposed war on Iran, MEK members took sides with the Iraqi dictator and betrayed their own motherland.<\/p>\n<p> Iraqi executed dictator, Saddam Hussein provided MEK with military support and financial assistance. From then on, MEK members have been housed in a paramilitary camp in Diyala Province, Camp Ashraf.<\/p>\n<p> Iraq considers MEK a threat to its national security, and urges the closure of their long-hold paramilitary base in this country and removal of its members from Iraqi soil. They have pledged to close down the Camp by December 31, 2011; however, in early December, United Nations urged the government of Iraq to extend the year-end deadline for shutting down the camp.<\/p>\n<p> Finally in December 25, 2011, an agreement signed between Iraq and the United Nations to relocate residents of Camp Ashraf to a temporary transit location where the UN High Commissioner for Refugees will start a process of refugee status determination, &ldquo;a necessary first step for their resettlement outside Iraq.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p> Iraq started relocating members of the terrorist anti-Iran group, and the group&rsquo;s ringleaders started voicing complaints about the conditions at Camp Liberty, which was once house of hundreds of thousands of American soldiers, and furthermore its &ldquo;humanitarian standards&rdquo; have been approved by the U.S. and the U.N. officials who have visited it.<\/p>\n<p> MEK has always shown that its true nature is always there and never changes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>why the mainstream media give cold shoulder to the remarks of an Iraqi official when he says \u201cwe found military equipment in the group\u2019s stuff.\u201dYou can see the statement of a terrorist group published in many news agencies, but you will not see the remarks of Diyala province police commander when he says that a number of body armors, combat boots and night vision cameras have been discovered ..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":-1,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[85],"module":[81],"ctype":[17],"blog":[306],"class_list":["post-4744","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mujahedin-khalq-proxy-force","tag-mujahedin-khalq-terrorism","module-article","ctype-story","blog-habilian-association"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4744","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4744"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4744\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4744"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4744"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4744"},{"taxonomy":"module","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/module?post=4744"},{"taxonomy":"ctype","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ctype?post=4744"},{"taxonomy":"blog","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blog?post=4744"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
