“Mujahedin-e Khalq’s expulsion from Camp Liberty[TTL] is divided into five stages”, the Vice President of the Diyala provincial council Sadeq Al-Husseini… “And even the name of the elements that must leave the camp in each stage is determined.”“MKO put all its efforts into obstructing their relocation and the residents of Ashraf are telling lies,” Husseini added.
Alkhaddran told Alsumaria News”more than 400 members of the MEK organization (PMOI) in Camp Ashraf in Diyala, which represent the second group which the Iraqi government want to transfer to Camp Liberty in Baghdad refused to obey to the order of transfer.”Alkhaddran said,”The Iraqi government has concluded an agreement with the United Nations Organization for the transfer of MEK from Diyala to Baghdad,”..
A source in the Interior Ministry told Al Arab alyawm newspaper today that Jordan refused to agree the setting up of a camp”for the Iranian opposition, or any other opposition.

Further, she demanded that the residents be relocated temporarily to a site near the Jordanian border instead of being located in Temporary Transit Location TTL.

This is a despicable and hypocritical approach on the part of Washington. U.S. officials recently told NBC News…To help MeK/MKO/PMOI find refuge or even de-list them would clearly be U.S. support for terrorists. Of course, when terrorists target the United States or its allies, they are detained without charge or trial, tortured, or even executed. But if terrorists target an adversary of the U.S., like Iran, suddenly they’re worthy of Washington’s help.
The last part of Mr. Dershowitz is approved; TTL is not going to be a permanent home for the relocated members. As the name of the location itself indicates, it is a temporary center to hose the transferred residents for a short span of time to process their refugee status and to transfer them to a third country. The group’s relocation to TTL was agreed between the United Nations, Iraqi authorities, the US, the EU and the leaders of the group itself.
