Iran mulls repatriation for members of dissident group in Iraq – envoy Iran’s Ambassador to Baghdad comments on a recent ultimatum issued by the Iraqi government giving the Iranian dissident group Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) six months to leave the country. In an interview with Iranian state television (IRTV1) Hasan Kazemi-Qomi said, "Apart from their criminal leadership, many members of this little group are repentant and regretful. In the past couple of years we have witnessed a number of them repatriated and returned to their families. What they explained is a picture of dejection and suffering. Many have endured hardship and they would have taken any opportunity to remove themselves from this grouplet earlier had it been available. Currently, many of them those who were duped and are repentant, would like to return to Iran and we would have to review this matter. "
