families of those MKO members who have been kept (mostly unwillingly) in the terrorist cult’s camp some 60 km north of the Iraqi capital city of Baghdad gather in front of British Embassy Tehran to declare their protest over the removal of the MKO terrorist organization from the Britain’s terror list.
They urged British premier to "make sure" that the terrorist group "would not use our children in terrorist activities again." "What has happened under Saddam Hussein’s regime must not be repeated again. We require assurances from the British government that our children would not enter terrorist activities one more time." The protesting families stressed that they would find the British government responsible, once their children entered any more terrorist operations.
They also called on Brown to "safeguard meetings between us and our relatives in the Ashraf Camp".

On December 17th, 2008 Nejat Society delegation met in the House of Lords with Baroness Neville-Jones, Shadow Security Minister and National Security Adviser to the Leader of the Opposition.
Baroness Neville-Jones welcomed the group warmly and spoke of her admiration for their courage.
The Nejat delegation described in detail the problems faced by the captives in Camp Ashraf. They explained that the MKO members have been trapped in the camp by the Rajavis who demand total obedience. Infringements of the draconian conditions which the Rajavis have imposed upon all the members is harshly punished. As a result there is a high rate of suicide in the MKO.
On December 18th ,2008 Shadow Minister for Sport, Mr Hugh Robertson met with the Nejat Society delegation in London to hear about their humanitarian solution for Camp Ashraf in Iraq.
Nejat representatives described conditions inside Camp Ashraf in Iraq. The camp is the military/ideological training base of the Mojahedin-e Khalq (MKO) cult organisation.
Mr Robertson was sympathetic to the stories of two women in the delegation who have not seen their relatives for many years because of MKO directives for members to divorce from their spouses, children and families. Mr Robertson agreed that a humanitarian approach should be followed in resolving the problem.

A number of Mujahedin Khalq Organization members reportedly leave Camp Ashraf after Baghdad started a countdown to remove the group from Iraq.
Some dissident MKO members aim to return to Iran as the terrorist organization has denied its members the right to choose an alternative place to stay.
The dissidents have held a press conference in Baghdad where they complained of their”tough situation”in Camp Ashraf — the MKO’s military training headquarters in the Iraqi province of Diyala.
Baghdad has vowed to move MKO members to their country Iran or send them to a third country as it holds the anti-Iran group responsible for destabilizing Iraq.
Ali Kaki, one of the dissidents, told al-Alam that most of 3,500 members of the group residing in the camp suffer”lack of freedom of thought and operation”.
Vali Khodabandeh, another dissident, also said that the leaders of the terrorist group have prevented the residents of the camp from leaving.
The anti-Iran MKO is blacklisted as a terrorist organization by many international entities and countries, including the US.
The group was exiled from Iran after the Islamic Revolution and settled in Iraq in 1986, where it enjoyed the support of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.
The MKO is responsible for numerous acts of violence against Iranian civilians and government officials as well as Iraqis.
Tehran has long called for the expulsion of MKO members from Iraq, saying that the members of the group who have not participated in terrorist activities can return home but others will need to stand trial.
