A member of the Iraqi parliament on Monday described the US as the stumbling block to the expulsion of the anti-Iran terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) from his country, stressing that Washington strives to block any move made by the Baghdad government to this end.
"The presence of Monafeqin (the hypocrites, as they are called in Iran) on Iraq's soil violates the country's constitution and the US is the main impediment to the expulsion of the terrorist group from
Imprisonment and torture -emotional, mental and physical of members who wanted to separate from the Mojahedin Organization but whom the Organization doesn't want to let go.
These are also what I witnessed and are additional reasons for my disassociation with the Mojahedin:
- The absolute dictatorship of Rajavi, allowing no rights to others.
- Lack of freedom in the Organization.
- Deprivation of the right to choose and prohibition of members gathering together and holding
The Baathist elements and the MKO's suppression of the Iraqi Kurds in the north during the misanthropic Operation Anfal in 1988 and fierce massacre of Iraqis in the south in Intifadah Shabaniyah in 1991 negatively influenced the public opinion in Iraq.
Though, the Saddam regime's oppressive [1980-88] Imposed War against the Islamic Republic left long-term adverse effects on the two countries' cultural and historical relations, the two sides tried to redefine the ties
The group, the People's Mujahedin Organization of Iran, also known as MEK, claims to have thousands of armed members based in military camps in Iraq, financed and equipped by Saddam Hussein. In the 1970s, elements of the group were involved in the murder of American servicemen and civilian contractors in Iran and took part in the seizure of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in November 1979. The State Department has included the MEK on its list of international terrorist
In 1981 Rajavi escaped to France. Soon after, the MEK began evolving into a cult. Rajavi declared that the organisation should be run equally by a man -himself - and a woman. The problem was Rajavi's wife had died fighting the Islamic government. He needed a new partner to join him at the top of the organisation. Rajavi's deputy Mehdi Abrishamchi voluntarily divorced his wife Maryam, so Rajavi could marry her. Massoud Rajavi's marriage was the beginning of a series of ideological and
Iran has executed a member of the Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) terrorist group and a man convicted of spying for Israeli intelligence service, Mossad. Ali Saremi, a member of the MKO terrorist group, had been found guilty of charges of being a Mohareb (an enemy of God) and spreading propaganda against the Islamic establishment.

Governor of Iraq's Diyala province has held the terrorist Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) responsible for the recent surge in violence across the northeastern region.

Jean Gueyras goes on: “Worse, this institution, whose aim was to unify the entire opposition in exile, slowly became an organisation totally dominated by the Mojahedin.
In Iranian opposition exile circles, people already began to talk about the ‘Massoud Rajavi’s sectarian and doctrinal rigidity’ and of his repetitive jargons and sloganeering. These were the barriers to all freedom of opinion. They kept the NCRI from becoming a viable solution to Iran regime.

MKO’s Machiavellian approach towards the US administration today and the US administration of 1970s
When the US government was fighting with Saddam Hussein the MKO planned its strategy on sending Maryam Rajavi and a few hundreds of the group’s officials to Europe in order to guarantee the future of the organization in the West and the group could be directed by Maryam and her aides. Therefore when the war started, Maryam was residing in Europe and Masud Rajavi was apparently out of sight and

The demonstrators gathered outside the group's headquarters and training center, Camp Ashraf, in the Iraqi province of Diyala and called for the expulsion of the terrorist group.

Mr Mehdi Fathi, a hostage of the Washington backed Mojahedin Khalq (MKO, MEK, NCRI, Rajavi cult) terrorist group died in Camp Ashraf (CIA protected MKO HQ) in Iraq one year after the Rajavi cult (Mojahedin Khalq) leaders refused to allow his return to France for medical treatment.

Two separate pieces of information have convinced me of the likelihood that the Mossad and the Iranian dissident group, Mujahadeen e-Khalq (MK) are knocking off some of Iran’s top nuclear scientists. As I’ve posted here, Haaretz’s Yossi Melman has written that the hand of Mossad is in yesterday’s assassination and near assassination of two senior Iranian nuclear researchers. Earlier this evening, a respected Iranian-American academic who knows whereof he speaks, told me he is convinced that the
