“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. Jordan is committed to its obligation that it should not interfere in the affairs of other countries.”The source denied that Jordan was to have any discussions with any party for the construction of an Iranian refugee camp or reception of refugees. ..
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. The camp she demanded for had been set up as a tent city to accommodate asylum seekers after the US invasion of Iraq in 2003.On February 19, some 397 MKO/MEK/PMOI members were transferred from MKO’s paramilitary camp to a temporary location near Baghdad.
MP for the National Alliance announces the final stages of Camp Ashraf, Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK, also MKO and PMOI) terrorists’ headquarters in Iraq, closure in this year.Ali Shobbar noted that the Iraqi government has taken serious steps to end the issue of Camp Ashraf “for we are trying to maintain good relations with neighboring countries, including Iran,” ..
An exiled Iranian opposition group [MKO/MEK/PMOI] being forced to relocate from its paramilitary base in eastern Iraq proposed on Saturday to temporarily move to the Jordanian border instead of Temporary Transit Location near Baghdad.Last month, the Obama administration offered to move the group temporarily to Camp Liberty [Temporary Transit Location ], which once was a base for U.S. soldiers.Iraq wants Camp Ashraf, with more than 3,000 residents, shut down.
“The commissioner doesn’t grant asylum to groups and organizations, rather asylum is granted to individuals under the condition of abandoning violence,”he noted.He added that the UNHCR has opened several ways for talks with a number of European states in a bid to find a third party to host the MKO terrorists…expulsion of the cult members is imminent, while over 1,600 Ashraf residents are willing to return to Iran.
Mrs. Clinton told the committee that “M.E.K. cooperation in the successful and peaceful closure of Camp Ashraf” will be “a key factor in any decision” on its longstanding request that the State Department lift its terrorist designation. She did not elaborate, but an administration official said her remarks were meant to be a strong signal to the group[MKO/MEK/PMOI] that it must improve cooperation.
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.
