In a letter to the EU Foreign Policy Chief Catherine Ashton, the advocacy group said that ‘the international community has a duty to help members of terrorist organizations around the world including members of Mojahedin-e Khalq (MKO/MEK/PMOI) to be liberated and find their human dignity…the MKO has assassinated 12,000 Iranian citizens, 7 US citizens and thousands of Iraqi citizens over past three decades.
EU and the US supported the MKO/MEK/PMOI to help the group carry out acts of terror in Iran, and argued that the terrorist organization has turned into a “political tool” for the West. The fact that the EU has repeatedly listed and delisted the MKO as a terrorist organization throws doubt on Brussels’ position on the MKO, the legislator pointed out. Members of the MKO fled to Iraq in 1986, where they enjoyed the support of executed Iraqi dictator ..
The US still labels the anti-Iran Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) as a terrorist group, says U.S. State Department Persian spokesman Alan Eyre.When asked whether the United States considers MKO aka MEK/PMOI a viable opposition group, he said: “No. The U.S. considers the Mujahedin-e Khalq a terrorist organization. That’s it.”
Dean and other luminaries from across the political spectrum have been paid vast sums of money by the MKO/MEK/PMOI – as much as $20,000 for a 10-minute speech – to appear at events pushing the Obama administration to remove the MKO from the official list of terrorist organizations.Dean himself has acknowledged being paid but has not disclosed specific sums.
A senior member of the Supreme Iraqi Islamic Council (SIIC) called on the Baghdad government to adopt more serious measures in line with the expulsion of the terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) from Iraq’s soil…Since the beginning of this year, the Baghdad government has repeatedly assured Iranian officials and people that it is determined to expel the MKO/MEK/PMOI
The mayor of Khalis, Uday Alkhaddran revealed the names of those politicians and tribal leaders involved in supporting the terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq based in Camp Ashraf garrison. he said he would”send all the names of politicians and tribal leaders involved in supporting the PMOI aka MKO/MEK to Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, along with the smallest details about the organization and internal support for it”..
Robert Hunter, a retired ambassador now with the National Defense University, says the residents of Camp Ashraf ought to be protected. But, he adds,”getting into bed with these people, I think, would be a profound mistake.”Hunter describes the MEK aka MKO/PMOI as a Marxist cult, whose members have learned the ways of Western public relations.
The US and the MKO would like to use the MKO as a US proxy against the Islamic Republic as a way to destabilize the Iranian government. Despite the group’s violent extremist background record, it was embraced by some in the US administration. What this means for Iran haters, is that the MKO aka MEK/PMOI are the new freedom fighters, and they deserve, and must be de-listed.
A senior Iraqi legislator underlined Baghdad’s firm decision on the expulsion of the anti-Iran terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) aka MEK/PMOI from Iraq, and called on Tehran to release the documents of the crimes of the terrorist group to inform the world public opinion of the MKO’s terrorist nature..
“Based on the very clear documents and evidence presented to our committee 800 Iraqis enter Camp Ashraf (now the camp of New Iraq) on different pretexts, like construction work, everyday, but a majority of them are al-Qaeda members and receive military and terrorist trainings in the camp,”Nafeh Eisa told FNA..the terrorist group[MKO/MEK/PMOI] has put pictures and portraits of al-Qaeda leader on the walls of the camp, respecting them as”heroes of Islam”.
