The peaceful demonstrations and debates and insistence on achieving demands is clearly on going and while no one doubts that this political struggle will continue even after the Friday prayers led by Ayatollah Khamenei, it is now clear that the advocates of violence and so called revolution or ‘regime change’ have been left out in the cold..This weekend the Mojahedin Khalq cancelled its planned event in Paris. Instead, the cult is recruiting people through false associations and groups in order to take advantage of the current unrest in Iran.
Press TV is slated to air a documentary about the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) and its ideological changes before the Islamic Revolution in Iran. Failed Tactics focuses on the foundation of MKO, and its political abuse of the first Iranian president..The organization’s armed confrontations and its collaboration with former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein during the Iraq-Iran war ..Produced by Amir Tajik, the documentary has been filmed in Iran, the UK, France and Switzerland
Ideology is a tool best utilized by Mojahedin leadership for the fulfillment of his political and cultic objectives and through which he has so far lured a remarkable amount of sympathizers. It has played a crucial role in the development of the organization up to now and has served a variety of historical, social, and political purposes. Mojahedin/MKO/MEK/PMOI had well perceived that the emotional essence of religion rose out of spontaneous mass agitations and the collective passions these generated.
Despite the fact that Mojahedin/MKO/MEK/PMOI have been accused of many criminal acts and terrorist activities in Iraq in the reign of Saddam including their alliance with him in suppressing Iraqi dissidents, misusing international humanitarian aid, Oil-for-Food program for example, as well as their current interference in the internal affairs of Iraqi government like intensifying religious and tribal conflicts, supporting terrorist groups, cooperating with problematic trends, the group’s hostile position toward Iraq has remained unchanged and they are still insisting on their illegal settlement
… Our lives are in danger. PMOI’s officials do not want us to go to a court of law and open a file against the crimes that they perpetrated. They have threatened, beaten up and labeled separated people in European countries many times. Few weeks ago the henchmen of PMOI assaulted and threatened Mr. Mohammad Hussein Sobhani (the former member of PMOI) in city of Cologne / Germany…
To cross the red-line drawn by MKO is not at all tolerable by the organization. Take the main bastions of MKO for instance, Camp Ashraf in Iraq and the one situated in Auver-sur-Oise in France. While the organization praises and is much delighted seeing the media and attentions directed to the former, the latter is an inviolable line and prohibited to bring up.
Informed sources familiar with the Gulf, said that about 100 of the elements of the Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization, working in the UAE to spy on the Iranian community, including members of the Iranian embassy, merchants, workers and tourists. .the MKO/PMOI/MEK members’ presence in UAE has been coordinated by the cooperation of the UAE security forces and American forces.
the organization seeks to force itself on Iraq as recognized refugees with granted rights far beyond those conventionally granted. However, the question is that is it actually possible to grant asylum to MKO members and is the Iraqi government forced under any convention to recognize the group as refugees?..the position takings of Masoud Rajavi and Maryam Azdanlu imply that their main concern is hardly asylum seeking
Head of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization Maryam Rajavi urges the participants of the Arab summit in Doha to support MKO terrorists. In a letter to Arab leaders attending the summit in Qatar, Rajavi rallied support for the anti-Iran group which is on the verge of losing its Iraq headquarters and training site, Camp Ashraf, located in Diyala Province.
