The claims of MKO on keeping Camp Ashraf by means of grabbing at the issue of refugee rights has been turned to the main point ..As asserted by Rajavi, his movement has been a strategic one for furthering his armed struggle against Iranian government rather than seeking refuge or anything else. With regard to these factors, it is proved that the transfer of Mojahedin to Iraq has not been for seeking refuge ..
the attempts of Rajavi in recent years have been futile failing in transferring MKO members from Iraq that is no more a safe haven for those who were once engaged in committing terrorist actions against Iraqi people on their own soil. The hostile position taken by Rajavi in Iraq despite his illegal settlement therein has been a warning for other countries not to let him and his organization in. Rajavi is well aware that at the time being no country consents to give refugee to Mojahedin ..
… The MKO-MEK can be best described as the Persian speaking wing of the degenerated Iraqi Baath Party and an earlier species of Al Qaeda back in early 1970s– a contemporary of the Red Brigades and the Baadermeinhof terror organizations in Europe. For decades, it has been designated as a terrorist group by most countries. They murdered American military advisers in … MKO was on Saddam’s payroll to kill Iraqi Shiites, in exchange for having a base in Iraq.
Batul Soltani, former member of the leadership council of the Mojahedin-e-Khalq group revealed some of the group’s crimes in Iraq..”I am ready to testify in Iraqi Judiciary court against the cooperation of MKO and former Iraqi troops on massacring the Iraqi people in 1991 Intifada,”she underlined.She said that former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hossein granted a lot of money to the group adding,”
Batul Sultani, former leader of the terrorist [Mojahedin-e] Khalq Organization, has divulged serious confessions about the nature of actions carried out by the organization. Al-Sultani has recently defected from the Ashraf Camp in protest against the policies implemented there ..In a video report by Al-Iraqiyah correspondent Haydar al-Abbudi, Al-Sultani is shown saying:”Mas’ud Rajavi had close relations with Saddam. He used to resort to him in many issues, like suppressing the sh’abaniyah uprising in the south and centre and the areas of Klar, Kifri, and Tuz Khurmatu in the north. Rajavi sent 5,000 members of the organization to quell the uprising and kill the innocents.”
Most of Camp Ashraf’s inhabitants received military training under Saddam Hussein’s regime and took part with his Presidential Guard and other Iraqi security forces in crushing the Iraqi people’s uprising after the liberation of Kuwait in 1991. There is ample evidence that the MKO harmed the Iraqi people when the Iraqi army refused to carry out the killings that Hussein required. Many families of the victims in Iraq cannot forget this …
MEK played a prominent role in repressing the intifada in the southern Iraqi cities in 1991 as it sent forces from the organization to the cities of al-Amara and Diala, as the former regime did not rely on its soldiers more than relying on the MEK/MKO/PMOI fighters in this particular respect,” Batoul Soltani said in a press conference she held in Baghdad on Saturday
As you are aware, when Saddam Hussein’s regime in Iraq was removed, some terrorist Cults with regional and international activities lost their only godfather and benefactor. One of them is the Mojahedin-e Khalq organisation aka MKO/MEK/PMOI. Also the Mojahedin have alienated their own members and supporters who dare to speak about these realities. The organization imprisoned them so the others would understand the price of criticism. There are many who have had to undergo imprisonment and torture ordered directly by Mr and Mrs Rajavi. Above and beyond that, was the exposure of the plans of the so called National Council of Resistance to eliminate disaffected members and critics.
Remaining in Iraq is not an option for Mojahedin Khalq Terrorists..The Iraqi government has called for the expulsion of Mojahedin Khalq Organisation (MKO/MEK/PMOI) from the country, saying Ashraf Camp terrorists can voluntarily return to Iran or choose to go to a third country… The Iraqi Embassy also pointed out that Ashraf Camp residents are not “political or humanitarian refugees” but terrorists whose activities are in contradiction to the commitment of the Iraqi government vis-a-vis its neighbours… Referring to the conditions of MKO members who are presently residing in Ashraf Camp, the Iraqi Embassy said there is no blockade of the terrorist camp as claimed by MKO leaders.
(Memoirs of Ms. Batoul Soltani – Part 12 )..In 1985 and 1986, Rajavi began his military campaign by bringing his innocent sympathizers from all over the world to Iraq by any means he could, including force, intimidation, and deception. They sent smugglers to gather homeless youth and bring them into the organization. When the recruits were transferred to Iraq, they settled in Camp Ashraf in North of Iraq. From the beginning, MKO/PMOI/MEK needed to have a section to organize its relations with the Iraqi government so it was established and named Foreign Relations Department.
