MKO refuses to comply with Iraqi order to leave
After Iraq moved to transfer the anti-Iran Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO/MEK/PMOI) from their camp in the country, members of the group defied the Iraqi government’s orders to leave.. According to a plan ordered by Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki the group should first be moved to the Iraqi capital of Baghdad and later to a 1950s detention camp in southern Iraq.”Any attempt to expel us forcibly will lead to the same clashes and confrontations as those of July 28 and 29,”MKO representative said, referring to a July incident during which Iraqi forces raided the camp in a melee leaving 11 people dead.
