the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO/MEK/PMOI), remained in the US list of terrorist groups and organizations despite intense efforts by Zionist lobbies and a number of the Congressmen to delist the group.The US State Department announced in its recent annual report on terrorism that no change has been made in the MKO’s status.
… How can a criminal organization like the PMOI/MKO/MEK, with a bloody record and hands smeared with blood, claim to be a legitimate opposition group? They are criminals and they should be tried in courts of law for their bloody past. They do not have any popularity among Iranian people at all and Iranian people in their recent protests throughout Iran, especially after Iran’s presidential election, showed that not only do they not support the PMOI as an opposition group, but rather …
Despite all the vast propaganda campaign and pulling any lobbying string, while leaving no stone unturned, for taking the name of MEK/MKO/PMOI out of the US State Department terror list, once again this terrorist group was designated as a foreign terrorist organization.In a new report by the US Department of State office of the coordination for counterterrorism which was released on August 5, 2010, Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization was referred to as a terrorist organization…
… MEK also participated in the 1979 take-over of the US Embassy in Tehran and so its members, as designated terrorists, are not eligible for resettlement in the US. Camp Ashraf, however, postpones the inevitable and risks becoming another Guantanamo Bay. MEK/MKO/PMOI members who took part in acts of terror should face justice, possibly through an ad hoc United Nations tribunal …
…”The government of the (Iraqi) Kurdistan region and the central government in Baghdad will in no way agree with such a measure,”Spokesman of Pishmarga Ministry of the Iraqi Kurdistan region … An official of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), who asked to remain anonymous, told FNA on Tuesday that the White House had in a message called on his group to harbor the members of the MKO in the Qandil Mountains at the Iranian borders …
… The response well indicates that the State Department has never changed its views about the inclusion of the notorious MKO terrorists and has ever insisted that the group’s designation complied with the governing statute and all constitutional requirements. We have to wait to see how sincere and determined America is in its war against terrorism when it designates a group as a FTO on sound evidences …
The Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) aka MKO,PMOI is such a group that has little national, public support, and in turn lacks legitimacy. By and far, most Iranians will assert that the group is neither an authentic nor viable opposition group and it must be examined more closely by foreign nations, particularly Western foreign nations…The MKO should never replace any form of government in Iran simply because they are not a legitimate group. They are terrorists.
The State Department said PMOI”has not shown that the relevant circumstances are sufficiently different”to warrant a change. Material that was declassified in the autumn of 2009 contained allegations that PMOI aka MKO/MEK trained women in Iraq to be suicide bombers, had not ended military operations and that much of its information about Iran’s nuclear program was wrong.
… The source said, in an interview with Alsumaria News, that the Mojahedin is accused of killing thousands of Iraqi citizens in coordination with the Iraqi security forces to suppress the uprising of March 1991, indicating that the investigations carried out proved the participation of members of the MKO in quelling the rebelling southern provinces and the north.”…
Iraq’s Supreme Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for MKO leaders Masoud Rajavi and Maryam Rajavi…”We have received a letter from Iraq’s Supreme Criminal Court which contains the names of 38 senior members of the MKO,”Fars News Agency quoted Iraqi Deputy Interior Minister Ayden Khalid Qader as saying on Sunday.The letter has called on the Interior Ministry to begin an immediate operation to arrest the criminals and hand them over to the judiciary, he added.
