In a one day symposium held on 2008-07-28 by the Nejat Society in Tehran, the members and the associates of the society as well as the families of members of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) captive inside the Ashraf Camp in Iraq gathered from different provinces demanding the free access of the families to their children in Iraq.
The MKO /Mujahedin Khalq for nearly two decades enjoyed the backing of the previous regime of Iraq, and Saddam Hussein was their first state sponsor. With the support of the former Iraqi dictator the Mujahedin organization managed to carry out many sabotage activities against the civilians inside Iranian cities as well as participating in suppressing the Iraqi’s uprisings in the north and in the south of the country.
the human rights activists in Iran have dedicated a website to declare their protestation against the recent move of British Government in legitimating terrorism that is removing Mujahedin Khalq Organization /MKO from the list of terrorist organization) to Secretary General of the United Nations.

Once the French government imposed some limitations on their activities including leading terrorism in Iran from Paris, they moved their headquarters to Iraq. The grounds for this move had been prepared previously and the MKO armed forces were already present in Iraq and they were involved in military activities against Iran. The presence of Massoud Rajavi in Iraq did lead to a close relationship between the MKO and the Iraqi former government
The seven members of the delegation each represented a British Moslem establishment which totally covers a good deal of Moslem community in Britain. After the members of delegation heard the report of the MKO activities they emphasised that they are aware of the ideas and actions of the MKO and their so-called”Ideological Revolution”and find them contrary to the Islamic teachings.
A meeting held in Shiraz under the title of”Salvation”with the participation of MKO family members as well as the former members of the Rajavis’ Cult.
Members of the delegation also expressed their regret about the presence of Mrayam Rajavi in the European Parliament and emphasised the fact that these people like all cults do not expose their real identity and try to deceive people to reach their own goals. In the end Ms Beer thanked the Nejat Society for providing them with good information about the MKO.
Some British MPs from the foreign affairs committee of the House of Commons who had previously learned about the case of Khodabandeh & Bassam were amazed to see them safe and sound sitting opposite to them. They wanted to learn more about their present situation and expressed their eagerness to see them in Britain soon
