The US State Department is running up against a court-imposed deadline to make a decision on whether to remove the Mujahadin-e Khalq or MEK from the US terrorist list.
In a statement, the National Council of Resistance of Iran called the expected delisting a “victory for justice and the rule of law.”
The MEK carried out bombings and assassinations in the 1970s that targeted and killed US citizens and military members, according to the State Department. In the ‘80s, the group killed dozens of Iranian officials and its members fought with Saddam Hussein during the Iran-Iraq war. Attacks continued during the 1990s and after the US invasion of Iraq, the US detained thousands of MEK members at Camp Ashraf. In 2001, the group says it renounced violence.

Diyala’s Police Chief stated that the remaining 168 MKO members will be relocated very soon, he further added that the MKO members who are in Iraqi wanted list for committing Humanitarian crimes against civilians will be rechecked in their new camp in Baghdad.
The spokesperson of Diyala’s headquarter said that the relocation of the MKO members has been implemented according to an agreement between the Iraqi government and the UN and under the supervision of the UN representatives in Iraq.
The MKO members fled to Iraq in 1986, where they enjoyed the support of Iraq’s executed dictator Saddam Hussein, and set up their camp near the Iranian border.
The group is also known to have cooperated with Saddam Hussein in suppressing the 1991 uprisings in southern Iraq and carrying out the massacre of Iraqi Kurds.
The MKO has carried out numerous acts of violence against Iranian civilians and government officials.
