Fugitive war criminal Rajavi weeps for another war criminal Tariq Aziz

When MKO feels frightened from Tariq Aziz’s death sentence

MKO’s unhappiness from the death sentence issued for Tariq Aziz is not merely due to this When MKO feels frightened from Tariq Aziz’s death sentence man’s previous supports from Mojahedin-e Khalq. This is an alarm for people like Massoud Rajavi who are responsible for the death of tens of thousands of people and now are hiding in their shelters. Rajavi and other leaders of the MKO consider the fate of Tariq Aziz as their own coming destiny. Therefore they are frightened from being trapped by justice one day.
The death sentence of Tariq Aziz, former Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister of Iraq and a close advisor of Saddam Hussein, soon lost its importance due to his sickness. However the reactions revealed some realities around us.

Many rejoiced, especially the people who had tolerated many years of Baath party oppressions; they were satisfied of waiting for his execution.

However MKO and National Council of Resistance issued a statement for condemning the death sentence of Tariq Aziz. The so-called National Council of Resistance was worried about Tariq Aziz since he was old and this sentence was unjust for him!

It is obvious that such backing is not meaningless or merely for defending human rights or similar issues.

MKO must defend him; who else should side him other than MKO? MKO owes too much to him. He has helped Mojahedin a lot. Baath regime handed over many bases including Ashraf military base to MKO.

The released photos and videos after the collapse of Saddam regime containing the MKO’s meetings with Massoud Rajavi and Tariq Aziz in Baghdad showed that Tariq Aziz had a significant role in the relations of MKO with Saddam. In one of the photos Tariq Aziz, Saddam Hussein and Massoud Rajavi are greeting warmly with each other.

MKO’s unhappiness from the death sentence issued for Tariq Aziz is not merely due to this man’s previous supports from Mojahedin-e Khalq. This is an alarm for people like Massoud Rajavi who are responsible for the death of tens of thousands of people and now are hiding in their shelters. Rajavi and other leaders of the MKO consider the fate of Tariq Aziz as their own coming destiny. Therefore they are frightened from being trapped by justice one day.

Rajavi, feeling the fear when he sees that his powerful friends i.e. Saddam Hussein and now Tariq Aziz are one by one leaving the scene, founds his final destiny in the same row. This is only because of their similar experiences in murdering and killing innocent Iranian and Iraqi civilians.
All these fears cause them to change their posture, pretend to be defender of human rights and issue statements in supporting the rights of human beings. However, there is no running way for those who have themselves grossly violated these rights.

Former members of the MEK

The outset of Rajavi’s longtime treason

Excerpts from Bani Sadr’s memoirs taken of the interview with Pen Club

…The day after the bombing of Islamic Republic Party office, Mr. Abbas Davari and Mr. Azdanloo [two MKO members] came to see me. I asked them if they had bombed the IR Party office. They Excerpts from Bani Sadr's memoirs taken of the interview with Pen Club told that they hadn’t. I had already issued a statement to condemn that attack, the same day. I asked them the question because I was looking for a reason to accept Mujahedin’s alliance with our foundation. […]

When they declined the responsibility of that bombing, I posed some questions to answer so that I could decide what to do. The questions were about independence, freedom, the position of a political organization in society, the position of MKO in the society, the method of thinking in MKO – if it was like the past, a mixture of other ideologies?- if MKO was ready to accept critics on its ideology. They brought me the answer. They said that they had admitted the entire questions I had written […]

We are supposed to go to MKO’s safe house where we can learn about the changes they claim in their thinking method. If I make sure that the changes are serious; if they admit to the critics they are faces; if MKO becomes an organization with the objective of freedom, not the objective of power, I will manage to let them be a member of NCR. They bring me a book called Explaining the World. I read and correct it page by page. Then Mr. Rajavi comes to see me. I find out that the house belongs to his first wife [Ashraf]

I told Rajavi that we want nothing for the future. We don’t need any state and we just want to be political activists. Rajavi promises to make all changes in their ideology in order to adapt it with the freedom objective […]

[…] I tell Massoud Rajavi :" I cannot trust you totally, power addiction will not leave people easily […] I hope that you really act in accordance with what you say."

We manage to write an act based on three basic principles: Independence, freedom and lack of hegemony. I define these three principles: Any organization to submit to these principles, accepts that the objective of the struggle is freedom not power […]

One day Rajavi came to me and told that we had to communicate with states in order to be recognized as an alternative. I replied that the states were seeking their own benefits and we had nothing to do with them […]

[…]An hour later Mr. Rajavi came to my room and told that Mr. Tariq Aziz had asked to visit him […] I told him:" Now that you accepted to visit him, you should treat him the way our Iranian Emperor Shahpour the first treated the Roman Valerian. Our Emperor humiliated the invader to our country. He [Tariq Aziz] should understand that he had invaded a country which has national pride. You should notify that and you shouldn’t let the visit last more than half an hour." […] He said "Ok, I will" but instead of behaving like what he was supposed to, the meeting lasted 5 hours so that the following day Le Monde newspaper wrote that Mr. Tariq Aziz bought Mr. Rajavi or something like that […] after that visit, Rajavi’s behavior changed and changed …

Mujahedin Khalq Organization members' families

Iranian families participating in a gathering in Baghdad

A press meeting was arranged in the assembly hall of Kadhimyya in Baghdad on Saturday 25th of September 2010 from 10 till 12 am about the crimes committed by the Rajavi destructive cult.

In this meeting a number of 15 individuals from the families of the members of Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO – Rajavi cult) trapped in Ashraf garrison were invited. They answered the questions of the reporters and other participants. Many news agencies and public media including some television and satellite channels were present in this gathering.

The purpose of this meeting was to introduce the families of Iraqi victims who have been killed by the Rajavi cult.

The first person to speak was Ms. Ahlam Almaliki the organizer of the meeting. She first welcomed the Iranian families who have come to Iraq to visit their relatives in Ashraf garrison but after 8 months they have not been able to do so. She announces the aim of the gathering to reveal the atrocities committed by the Rajavi cult against the Iraqi people and demand of the gathering to prosecute and to penalize the leaders of the cult who have shed the blood of the innocents. She also said that the cult must be moved from Iraq and its elements must be expelled from the country. She asked why the US administration supports this group and why they prevent their leaders to be tried and expelled from Iraq. She said that there are many evidences indicating that the American commanders in the US army in Iraq cooperated with this terrorist group and they still do so. She said that at least 150 individuals from the cult have lawsuits in the judiciary system of Iraq with piles of documents. There are many documents showing that the leader of MKO are responsible for the lives of many Iraqis as well as torturing and imprisoning their own members but the American influence in Iraq is preventing them to be prosecuted. She also said that the members of the cult in Iraq even damaged the historical sites and joined the looting after invasion and at the moment they are sponsoring terrorism in Iraq and back the elements of the previous toppled regime.

In this meeting a number of 15 individuals from the families of the members of Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO – Rajavi cult) trapped in Ashraf garrison were invited

The families of Iraqi martyrs called the Iranian families on the scene and welcomed them and showed their sympathy towards them. The Iranian families whose relatives were members of MKO said that they feel ashamed to be at the side of the families of the victims of the MKO.

In this gathering Ms. Sorayya Abdullahi on behalf of all families picketing in front of Ashraf garrison delivered a speech for 15 minutes which draw the attention of the reporters and the participants particularly the television networks present inside the meeting. Her speech had good media coverage.

The families said that it is more than 8 months that they are present in front of Ashraf garrison and all they want is to see their loved ones for even a short time,

The Families present in the gathering then were interviewed by the media and answered their questions. The families said that it is more than 8 months that they are present in front of Ashraf garrison and all they want is to see their loved ones for even a short time, but the leaders of the MKO reject this which is an obvious example of violating basic human rights. They said to the reporters that the Rajavi terrorist cult has banned any sort of contact with the families for its members, they have basically have banned all contacts with the outside world, they have banned marriages and forming families, even thinking and dreaming has been banned. They asked why the Iraqi government does not take any action to preserve the rights of their loved ones. This is a question that has been left unanswered up to now.

In this meeting the letter of Ms. Abdullahi to the US secretary of states was distributed among the participants. The video coverage of the exhibition in the province of Diyala named “Black Plague” was shown for the audience.

In the end the families visited the shrine of Kadhimayn in Baghdad and returned to the gate of Ashraf garrison and joined the picketing families.
Some Iraqi officials delivered speeches as well.

The following reports would be coming soon.

Iraq

Black Plague – Photos expose the MEK organized crime in Diyala

Diyala – A number of members of the House of Representatives and local government officals of Diyala province along with Senate members, academic figures, the media and managers of departments in the district of Khalis, established the Clans and Families of Diyala Exhibition – named Black Plague. This is a photographic exhibition exposing the crimes and practices of the Mojahedin Organization in the province of Diyala in Iraq.

The exhibition, which comprises 100 large colour photographs (100 × 70) cm, is scheduled to continue for three days at the Hall of the Directorate of Youth and Sports in the city of Khalis, 15 kilometers north of the city of Baquba, the county seat.

The exhibition also includes words and poems condemning the crimes of the Mojahedin. A Conference of the founders of the exhibition called on the government not to deviate from the public call for the removal of the Mojahedin from the land of Iraq.

The Mayor of Khalis, Adi Alkhaddran told Iraq Beituna Agency that the exhibition is the first of its kind in the province, noting that it was preceded by several conferences and demonstrations demanding the expulsion of the Mojahedin from Diyala and out of the country in accordance with the principles of the Constitution, which prohibits the presence of, and harbouring of terrorist organizations on its territory, and using the country as a springboard for aggressive operations against neighbouring countries. The Mayor urged the government to specify its position on the issue of the Mojahedin organization and put pressure on international organizations to support Iraq and not to do deals with it [Mojahedin].

Alkhaddran said that the Mojahedin Organization had plundered the country and the province, taking over 6000 acres of land in Khalis district. He said they took 80% of the citizens’ plots of land, and pointed out the economic gains for the Judiciary by returning the investment in Camp Ashraf taken by the organization for more than three decades.

Noting the tension created in the relationship with Iran created by the former regime by harbouring the Mojahedin and the futility and foolishness of Saddam’s regime, the Mayor said that”some parties, under the flag of the Baath Party, are still in the political arena with external support and local cooperation with the Mojahedin Organization and trying to whitewash their crimes in front of public opinion and demanding humanitarian laws in dealing with members of this organization, which is stained with the blood of Iraqi people.”

The former Congressman and a member of the National Coalition, Taha Shield Saadi said during his speech on the crimes of the Mojahedin and its role in the genocide of the Iraqi people in several areas , notably the south and areas of Tuz and Diyala, revealed the relation of Saddam’s regime with the Mojahedin Organisation over many decades, such as misusing the Oil for Food programme and using the Mojahedin to operate economic resources and commercial companies on behalf of Iraq abroad.

Saadi said that the Iraqis have a legitimate legal right to prosecute the Mojahedin Organization for organized crime before the fall of the regime, and supporting and harbouring terrorist groups after the fall of the regime.

He added: The Mojahedin in their various websites, claim that there are many groups and organisations which support them, but these are fictitious and only exist on the group’s websites. They invite people to anti-Iraq and anti-establishment activities as well as joining in the cult activities. They also spread hatred between religions and ethnic groups in Iraq.

In turn, the Deputy Chairman of the Diyala Council, Sadeq Al-Husseini, denounced the double standards followed by the United Nations in dealing with the Mojahedin, demanding that Iraq be lenient toward members of the Organization. The United Nations for the first time has accepted the classification of the Mojahedin as terrorist but still asked Iraq to be lenient. He added that, the interference of Mojahedin in the internal affairs of Iraq is unacceptable and unjustifiable and that the group are dangerous and saturated with bloodshed and the culture of death.

Husseini said that the Council of Diyala and the parliament had passed a resolution to expel the MKO from the country, but this decision was not acted on properly by central government. He praised the position of the Council of Samawah province which refused to allow the Mojahedin to be relocated to their territory.

The Vice-Chairman of the Board of Diyala who emphasised again the demand of the people of Iraq to expel the Mojahedin, said this organisation is logistically and financially behind all the security problems in the province, and this has been endorsed by the security officials that this is the case. Therefore we do not want them to stay in our country for even a day.
Member of Parliament for the Iraqi List (Ahmad Sharif) said that after parliament passed a decree to remove the Mojahedin from Iraq. He stressed that the settlement of issues between the Mojahedin and the government of Iran is nothing to with Iraq.

Sharif also referred to some of the attacks on mosques during Friday prayers in Sadr City by direct order of Saddam’s regime and emphasised on the need to expel the MKO according to the constitution of Iraq and international laws of the United Nations.

Tribal and religious figures also rejected the presence of MKO in Diyala province. In this respect, Sheikh Hamid al-Azzawi ( religious scholar ) condemned the use of the name of Mojahedin for this organisation with its black history and the murderous acts they carried out before and after the fall of Saddam. He said the presence of the MKO shows the weakness of the Iraqi govt, which should be rectified as soon as possible.

The head of Ezzah tribe, Sheikh Ali al-burhan al- Azzawi explained the confiscation of tens of thousands of kilometres of agricultural land by the Mojahedin and their regular attacks during the time of Saddam, terrorising the villagers and arresting their children. And using repressive methods all under Saddam’s order with the threat that, confronting the Mojahedin means confronting Saddam. He demanded compensation for the tribal people.

Al-Azzawi said, after the fall of Saddam, Mojahedin started buying goods and vehicles stolen from the government and they encouraged weak people to commit burglary and steal things and had a direct role in the lootings and crimes at that time.

Sheikh Mohammed Jassem Al-Tamimi invited all the international and internal bodies and organisations responsible for deporting the MKO to use peaceful means and not to resort to force. He compared the MKO with the Black Death plague which has fallen on the land of Diyala province and especially Khalis. He said that they are still the main place of support for Saddamists and its repressive apparatus in the province.

Sheikh Resan Maamouri head of the Al-mamereh tribe in Diala warned against the presence of this Black Death (Rajavi cult) in Iraq and Diyala province and their role in the support and training and logistics of organised terrorism, and asked the government to put an end to the suffering of the people of the province and once and for all get rid of this dangerous disease (Rajavi cult).

The head of the media committee for Diayal provincial Council, Fakhri al-Obeidi, rejected the claim that 480,000 Diyali residents have asked for the Mojahedin to stay in the province. He said the number produced by the Mojahedin is irrational and added that the total number of residents in the five sections, including all tribes, including adults and children is one million four hundred and eighty thousand. This is considering that I have added the cities of Khaneqin and Balous which are from Mandaly and Gazzanieh, and also huge parts of Muqdadiya , Baquba and people of Khalis, who we know have never had signed such a thing…

Mujahedin Khalq; A proxy force

Mojahedin Khalq access to the Qandil Mountains

According to Iranian media sources, the White House had in a message called on the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) to allow the elements of the Mojahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) access to the Qandil Mountains in return for an end to Turkish army attacks on PKK strongholds.

Although many officials in Baghdad and South Kurdistan, including spokesman of Pishmarga Ministry, Jabbar Yavar, Iraq-Governor of Arbil, Nozad Hadi, rebuffed the reports, dubbing it fabrication, one can not recant the US dynamic cooperation with the Iranian Oppositions in Iraq, especially after 2003, including the MKO.

Following the surrender of 7, 000 members of the group to the US Special Forces in 2003, the US intelligence community heavily relied on military, intelligence and logistic support of the group to confront Iranian activities inside Iraqi territory, and map out any plausible future attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities. Despite listing the group in FTC (Foreign Terrorist Organization), the group was never meant to be undermined or dismantled in any form.

Over 2,000 pieces of military equipment were seized from MKO by the US forces in Iraq. Some supporters of MKO were recruited as Farsi linguists in Camp Ashraf. Both the US and Iranian intelligence apparatus were closely monitoring the activities of the group. Iran attempted hard to put pressure on the Shiite-led Iraqi government through its proxies and agents to terrorize its members and expel them out of Iraq. Some of the group adherents did not brook the situation in Camp Ashraf in Baghdad, defected and returned to Iran, passing huge amount of highly-classified information to the regime.

"With respect to Iran, there is a clear opportunity for the Iranians” to demonstrate some willingness to engage meaningfully with the international community," Hillary Clinton said in her first remarks since becoming the US Secretary of State.

In 2008 the Bush administration meted out some $400 million for covert operations against Iran, a significant portion of it was diverted to the MKO. The EU has lifted ban on MKO in January, and lately an appeals court in the US ruled that the State Department should review the designation of the group, a vivid indication that the group is being prepared for some special assignments in Iran.

The organization is an Iranian opposition group having emerged in 1960s to oppose the Shah of Iran, capitalism, and western imperialism and later fighting the ideology of the Islamic revolution, which does concern us as Kurds as much. However, the role that MKO played and the horrendous crimes it committed against Kurdish citizens of South Kurdistan, especially their collaboration with Saddam in massacres and genocides, hold us ethically liable to disallow them any access to our Kurdish mountains.

What MKO did, it even outstripped shah’s SAVAK (National Intelligence and Security Organization) in terms of its persecution of its opponents.

Kurdish Regional Government should press charges on moral grounds against MKO for joining Saddam’s army during the Iraqi-Iran war (1980-1988) and helping the dictator in suppressing Kurdish 1991 uprisings and massacre of Iraqi Kurds.

MKO is responsible for numerous acts of terror, violence, assassination attempts against Kurdish civilians and government officials in South Kurdistan.

MKO and its affiliates owe the Kurdish nation on official apology.

Iraq

Interior Ministry announces receipt of arrest warrants for 38 leaders and members of MKO

Interior Ministry announces receipt of arrest warrants for 38 leaders and members of

The Ministry of Interior on Saturday announced it had received the arrest warrants issued by the Iraqi High Tribunal against 38 leaders and members of the Mojahedin-e Khalq (aka MKO, MEK, PMOI) on charges of involvement in crimes against humanity. A source in the Criminal Court said the MKO who are wanted had been involved with Iraqi security forces in quelling the uprising of March 1991.

Aydan Khaled, Under Secretary of the Ministry of Interior for Police Affairs said in interview with Alsumaria News, "The Ministry received the warrants from the High Court against 38 leaders and the Mojahedin accused of committing crimes against humanity."

According to Khaled, "The Interior Ministry circulated judicial orders to all police stations in Baghdad for their implementation and investigation". He noted that "the Ministry does not have complete information on the whereabouts of the elements of the MKO wanted for arrest, whether they are inside or outside Iraq."

The Undersecretary of the Ministry of Interior for Police Affairs said that "the ministry had no statistics or information for the pursuit of elements of the Organization for crimes at this time", pointing out at the same time "the breaches of law by the elements of the Organization in Ashraf camp included attacks on Iraqi police officers and prevention of families of members of the organization coming from Iran to visit their children and their families within Camp Ashraf ".

The violence which broke out in Camp Ashraf which was demilitarized after the transfer of responsibility for camp security from American troops to Iraq in July 2009, has led to the deaths and injuries of nearly three hundred members of the Mojahedin organization, including 25 women, with 110 of the Iraqi security forces among the wounded and dead…
It is noteworthy that in late January of last year, 2009, the Mojahedin had been taken off the European Union list of terrorist organizations. The Iranian government strongly condemned the resolution, and the Government of Iraq has long tried to close the camp and find a solution to relocate the residents inside, either through return to Iran or through transfer to places deep in the desert or to a third country, but things remained the same.

For his part, a source in the High Criminal Court said that "the arrest warrants issued against 38 of the MKO members comes against the background of charges of killings and torture against Iraqi citizens in 1991."

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. "

The source, a judge in the Criminal Court who asked not to be named said the "most wanted leaders of the MKO, include leader Massoud Rajavi and his wife Maryam Rajavi."

The regime of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein assigned the members of the MKO to the Iraqi Army and Republican Guard in its military operations in the provinces of the North and South to end a popular uprising in March 1991 against the regime of Saddam Hussein after his defeat in the Kuwait war. The MKO’s role is especially important because of the survival of its military arsenal which was safe from any damage due to [U.S.] aerial bombardment of Iraqi sectors, and the destruction, most of which was in Kuwait and its surroundings in the ground offensive of the Allied forces in the twenty-fourth of the month of February 1991…

Iraqi Authorities' stance on the MEK

MKO hostile role in killing the opponents of former Iraqi regime

Pointing to the MKO long record of criminal acts in Iraq, Member of Iraqi National Coalition stated that MKO played a prominent role in massacre of Iraqi Kurds and repression of Shiites Intifada as well as killing many other opponents of the former Iraqi regime.

In an interview with the database of Habilian Association (families of terror victims in Iran) and regarding the abilities of terrorist groups in Iraq, Nahede al-Tamimi said: Although the Iraqi elections was held in a relatively peaceful and secure ambiance, yet it should be acknowledged that some terrorist groups are somehow able to instigate criminal operations against the Iraqi people .

Pointing out the role of terrorist groups in creating unrest in Iraq, the Iraqi politician continued: some terrorist groups have taken advantage of the lack of new government in order to bring about terrorist operations in Iraq and this way affect the public opinion and interrupt the process of government formation.

Al-Tamimi called MKO the tame soldiers of Baath Party and said: MKO and the leftovers of the Baath Party do their best to make obstacles on the way of establishing an integrated government in Iraq via preventing the Iraqi army and security forces form acting in northern parts of Iraq.

The Iraqi political activists continued: the MKO interests in Iraq are directly dependent on the Ba’ath party restoration in the country while they have committed numerous crimes in Iraq, among which I could mention their key role in suppressing the Shiites uprisings in 1991 and massacre of Iraqi Kurds as well as killing many other dissidents to the former Ba’athist regime.
Considering the MKO argument for being protected persons and political refugees al-Tamimi said: There is no reason for MKO to stay in Iraq while the Iraqi constitution strictly prohibits the presence of any terrorist groups on its soil. Besides MKO could not possibly enjoy the refugee status due to their being a military force.

Then al-Tamimi criticized the US support for this terrorist cult and said: the Iraqi government insists on the expulsion of MKO from Iraq; but America continues to support them and prevents them from being deported from Iraq, besides no country in the world is ready to accept MKO due to their long history of atrocities and violence.

Referring to the necessity of MKO expulsion from Iraq, member of Iraqi journalists’ society also said: The only solution to MKO expulsion from Iraq is the US complete withdrawal from Iraq.

Iraq begins top MKO members’ arrest

Iraq’s Supreme Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for MKO leaders Masoud Rajavi and Maryam Rajavi.

Iraq has begun an operation to arrest 38 members of the terrorist Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) and hand them over to judiciary officials.

"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.

Earlier in July, Iraq’s Supreme Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for the leaders of the terrorist Mujahedin Khalq Organization, including Masoud Rajavi and his wife Maryam Rajavi.
The warrants require the Iraqi Interior Ministry and the Interpol to arrest and hand over the wanted figures to Iraq’s Criminal Court.

Founded in the 1960s, the MKO has masterminded a slew of terrorist operations in Iran and Iraq, killing thousands of people and wounding many more.

The group is especially notorious for taking sides with former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein during the 1980-1988 war Iraqi-imposed on Iran.

The Iraq-based MKO is listed as a terrorist group by much of the international community.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization members' families

Iranian families ,after the vigil for more than four months..

After the vigil for more than four months
Iranian families: Camp Ashraf leaders’ refusal to let us see our children a violation of human rights law

After more than four months of the vigil outside the headquarters of Mojahedin called for Iranian Iranian families: Camp Ashraf leaders’ refusal to let us see our children a violation of human rights law families from Iran to the camp said the Iraqi government to end the suffering by intervention and pressure on the organization’s leaders to give them the opportunity to meet with their children, detainees inside the camp since the eighties in the last century, they said.

Ali Ramadan said that his brother has been held within the organization for a long time. He had been one of the prisoners from the Iran-Iraq war which lasted nearly eight years, adding that the former Iraqi regime had sold those prisoners to the MEK and its leadership, Massoud Rajavi, in order to bring them into the organization and help the Iraqi army in the war against Iran.

Ramadan told Reporters Network that the majority of the members of the MKO are mentally ill and have chronic diseases. He said they were suffering more than 200 medical conditions, while some were diagnosed with cancer.

Another person, Ahmed Khalaf Al-Hajri, from the province of Khuzestan in Iran said he lost touch with his brother 25 years ago while he was then a captive of the Iraqi forces in the era of the war between the two countries in Jalawla north-eastern Iraq. He said, “information reached us that he had been taken to Camp New Iraq, which they called at that time Camp Ashraf, and we did not hear anything more about him. But five years ago he called my mother. At the time, however, he did not speak with them long because he said he was surrounded by Guards and intelligence inside the camp. Al-Hajri added that most of the families within the camp did not enter with consent but have been brought force and in different ways, either by kidnapping or deception at the time of Saddam Hussein’s regime.

Soraya Abdullah was also talking about the kidnapping of her son, who emigrated to Turkey illegally and was then sold to the MKO. She confirmed she has not seen her only son for five years, and says her only son left after the death of his father and she came here to expose the organization because of the actions exercised by them on the population living within the walls, amounting to torture. She refers to the strict prohibition on marriage by the organisation, a law enacted by Massoud Rajavi and Maryam Rajavi. She said she will remain until she meets with her son…

Sheikh Mohammed Jassim Abdul, one of Diyala province tribal leaders, said that Camp Ashraf has around 3400 people…

He said the elders and tribes of Diyala are demanding that the government and parliament work on removing this organization as soon as possible for several reasons, including its past cooperation with the former regime of Saddam Hussein against the Iraqi people.

He considered that the MEK leaders’ rejection of families coming from Iran to see their children who were inside the camp is a violation and breach of human rights law and acts contrary to moral values.
