Italy’s channel 1 (Rai Uno) broadcast a report on MKO and pardon of its defectors in its news section, which is the most important news program in Italy with 25 million viewers.
The report says:”Members of the terrorist MKO can return to their country with recent public pardon [issued by Iranian leaders].
…”UK government put the MKO on terror list in March 2001,”Howells said.”This list is reviewed and revised every two years, but there is no information on the MKO that can change its status,”…
Jaber Majdmian, expressing his happiness, said the situation in the MKO is inhumane.
“In 1987, I joined the MKO in Iraq but from the beginning, I realized the terrorist and inhuman nature of the group.””I repeatedly tried to return to my family, but the MKO didn’t allow me to do so. After the fall of Saddam Hussein and due to the hatred of Iraqis for the MKO, there appeared a chance for us to return and I could come back home with the assistance of Red Cross and Nejat Association in Khuzestan Province. I believe I was born again. I try to be useful for my society.”..
Referring to the Britain Anti-terrorism Law, passed in year 2000, Dalton named Mojahedin organization as a terroristic group and said the members of the group have no right to be active in Britain.
A British institution and a number of former members of the Mojahedin-e khalq organization held a press conference in London to reveal its activities and called it a terrorist organization with inhumane internal relations…Baroness Emma Nicholson, member of European Parliament and member of House of Lords in UK supported the conference; her representative was in the conference.
“Anti-Terrorism law, due to be executed from next week in Iraq, includes the Mojahedin-e khalq organization,” said Iraqi deputy prime minister.
Radio Free Iraq, quoting Ahmed Chalabi, said: “From now on, we don’t allow this group to make problems for our neighbor Iran from Iraqi soil. We are going to stop this group.”
Terrorist Mujahideen Khalq Organization (MKO/PMOI/NCR) was involved in car bombing in the southern port city of Basra on Monday, Iraqi security official told IRNA on Tuesday. ….The British officers have embarked on hiring MKO elements for sabotage and terrorist attacks in Iraq for their own inhumane ends.
Whenever the meddling of its members in any subversive act is revealed, the MKO terrorist group always denies it by issuing a statement.
According to a security source in Basra, members of MKO were responsible for the Monday explosion in the port city of Basra. At least 20 people, mostly non-military, were killed in the explosion of a car laden with bomb in Basra port city in southern Iraq late Monday and more than 50 others were wounded.
No news is at hand in recent days on the fate of 250 members of the terrorist Mujahideen Khalq Organization (MKO) who have been urging to leave Iraq and return to Iran as a priority, according to former MKO officials who have fled to Europe from Iraq.
The rejection came after Foreign Office Minister Kim Howells dismissed a call from Binley to back his campaign to deproscribe the MKO as a terrorist group.
“The Mujahideen-e Khalq Organization (MKO) is proscribed in the UK under the Terrorism Act 2000. It has a long history of involvement in terrorism in Iran and elsewhere and is, by its own admission, responsible for violent attacks that have resulted in many deaths,”
