EU officials: Keep MKO blacklisted

Some European Union members have warned against removing the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) from the bloc’s list of terrorist groups.

MKO should be black listed againA number of EU parliamentarians, in a letter have slammed a British court decision to remove the MKO from the British terror list.

The letter adds, the MKO claims to be a democratic Iranian opposition, while it is instead a terrorist group with totalitarian ideals.

The MKO is behind a slew of assassinations and bombings inside Iran, it said, adding that the group has no public support within Iran because of their role in helping Saddam Hussein in the Iran-Iraq war.

According to Human Rights Watch report, the outlawed group puts deserters under torture and jail terms.

The MKO, whose main stronghold is in Iraq, is blacklisted by much of the international community, including the United States.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization's Propaganda System

London based Sky News airs MKO Terrorists show

Sky News airs Mojahedin Khalq Terrorists show after lifting ban

An MKO member has criticized the Islamic Republic in a televised interview in a first move since the reversal of the UK ban on the group.

Azam Mollahassani Majdabadi Farahani Kohneh alias Leila Jazayeri appeared in a live program on Sky News television Sunday and severely took to task the Iranian government.

She accused Iran of violating human rights and meddling in the internal affairs of its neighbors.

This has been the first appearance of a member of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) since a British court ruling ordered the reversal of the UK ban on the organization.

The MKO is listed as a terrorist group by much of the international community, including the US. The group has claimed responsibility for numerous terror attacks against Iranian officials and civilians.

During the program, Jazayeri claimed the Iranian government executes and stones people on a daily basis.

She also said the country’s economy has collapsed, alleging that nearly 85 percent of the Iranian people live below the poverty line and demand a regime change.

The MKO member called on Western governments, in particular Britain, to support the overthrow of the Iranian government by Mariam Rajavi, a leader of the outlaw group.

Leila Jazayeri has been involved in several violent acts against the disaffected MKO members.

She has also disrupted several meetings wherein participants were believed to be critics of MKO policies. She is known to have several criminal court records in European countries for assault and injury, fraud and other charges.

MKO miantains its position on EU blacklist

The European Union has declared that it will keep the Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MEK) on the list of outlawed terrorist groups. MKO Maintains its position on EU list of outlawed terrorist groups

The EU officials have declared that the decision to keep the MEK on the list of the terrorist groups is not related to the Western efforts to persuade Iran to halt its nuclear enrichment program, Reuters reported.

EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana will meet Iran’s top nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili in Geneva on Saturday to discuss Tehran’s response to an incentives package proposed by world powers to Tehran.

The British Parliament last month upheld a court ruling that the inclusion of the MEK on a list of banned groups in Britain was wrong.

The group then called on the 27-member EU to remove it from the blacklist.

The EU has declared that it sees no grounds to amend the list of terrorist organization which includes 48 groups subject to asset freeze and sanctions in the EU.

“Consequently, the Council has decided to maintain those persons, groups and entities on the list,” the EU Official Journal said.

The MEK or MKO has so far claimed responsibility for several terrorist attacks inside Iran.

It is also accused of helping former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein in massacre of civilians.

US forces relocate MKO cargo to Balad

US forces transfer truckloads of cargo from the Ashraf base in Iraq where members of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization have been stationed.

American forces transfer truckloads of unknown cargo by night, as the deadline for handing over the base to Iraqi forces approaches, the Iraqi Aljewar website reported Tuesday.

According to Aljewar, US troops are reallocating the unspecified cargo to a US military base in the city of Balad in the Salahuddin province.

Recognized as a terrorist group by Iran, Iraq, Canada, the United States, and the European Union, the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) is responsible for bombings, assassinations, and attacks in Iran and Iraq over the past 25 years.

Up until now MKO members, who were closely allied with the former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, have been stationed at Camp Ashraf, which is situated in the city of al-Khalis in the eastern province of Diyala.

After the fall of Saddam, the Iraqi government demanded that the MKO leave the country. It recently set a six-month deadline for the group’s departure, threatening to expel them if they refuse to leave of their own free will.

Iraqi Authorities' stance on the MEK

Mojahedin Khalq leaders face arrest in Iraq

An Iraqi government spokesman says arrest warrants have been issued for some leaders of an anti-Iran terrorist group based in Iraq.

MKO leaders face arrest in IraqAli al-Dabbagh held a press briefing in Baghdad on Thursday and said the order had been issued because leaders of the Mojahedin Khlaq Organization (MKO) have interfered in the domestic affairs of Iraq and threatened some Iraqi officials by phone.

The Iraqi cabinet and main political parties demand the expulsion of members of the terrorist group from the country.

Iraqi officials say the group is playing a significant role in promoting violence and insecurity in the war-torn country.

Dabbagh added that Iraqi security forces have provided proof of their criminal activities.

The MKO is blacklisted by many countries including EU member states as a terrorist organization.

Additionally, the group has claimed responsibility for several terror attacks inside Iran. They were also involved in the massacre of Iraqis under Saddam Hussein’s regime.

The MEK Expulsion from Iraq

Mojahedin Khalq must leave in 6 months

Iraqi MP Sheikh Jalaleddin al-Saghir has said the government will expel MKO members if they fail to leave the country before their six-month deadline is reached.  “After the deadline passes, the Iraqi government will not tolerate any pressure, or interference aimed at keeping MKO members in the country,” Arab media quoted Sheikh Jalaleddin al-Saghir as saying.  “The procedure will be carried out according to a government decision. MKO members will be handed over to the Red Cross so that they can leave for another country,” said al-Saghir.  The Mujahedin Khalq Organization [MKO] is recognized as a terrorist group by Iran, Iraq, Canada, the United States, and the European Union.  The organization, closely allied with former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, has carried out numerous bombings, assassinations, and terrorist attacks in Iran and Iraq over the past 25 years.

Iran

London’s new policy of using terrorists in the region

Iran: British overt support for Mojahedin Khalq (Rajavi cult) terrorists is in line with London’s new policy of using terrorists in the region

Iran to UK: MKO ruling will isolate you

Iran says a decision by the British court to remove a ban on Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) would only isolate the UK government. 

(MKO cult members in Camp Ashraf!!)

Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad-Ali Hosseini condemned the decision to remove the MKO from the blacklist of terrorist organizations, saying, "Britain has distanced itself from the international community.” 

(British Lord!! Corbett promoting terrorism under the Logo of MKO for the past 25 years)

“This ruling will without a doubt isolate the UK," Hosseini cautioned, adding that the move was in line with London’s new policy ‘to use the terrorist card’ to step up pressure on regional nations and governments.

"By adopting a policy of supporting terrorist groups, it (Britain) is pursuing certain provisional interests."

The Iranian spokesman called on European institutions not to be affected by the politically motivated, illegitimate verdict of the British court in favor of the terrorist cell.

The MKO has claimed responsibility for hundreds of bombings and assassinations in Iran, including the assassination of a president, a prime minister and 80 senior officials as well as thousands of civilians.
