After the fall of Saddam Hussein there have been negotiations between Iran and Iraq to dismantle Camp Ashraf in north of Baghad, where the MKO is stationed. But these negotiations became more serious after the American troops gave control of the camp to the Iraqis. Iran hopes that some of the low-level members will return voluntarily to Iran and will be rehabilitated, while the top cadres will be sent to Iran by Iraq so that they will be put on trial for their crimes against the Iranian people.
I believe this is a big mistake. The MKO is the cult of Massoud and Maryam Rajavi. Their followers have been brainwashed for decades to be loyal to the Rajavis, then God and Islam. Although after moving to Iraq they added some nationalistic fervor to their ideology and slogans and adapted the Iranian flag with lion and sun, in practice they were not loyal to their home country.
Their main political agenda has been to get to the power by any means and methods. They have shown this through their political orientation and actions over many decades: first by selling secret national security files to the Russians at the beginning of the Islamic revolution, then going to Iraq and fighting against Iran, before siding with Saddam and fighting against the Kurds. At the end of the occupation of Iraq by the US forces, they were caught in the same trap they had set for themselves.
If they are expelled, these middle-aged men and women, who have not been doing anything but worshiping Maryam and Massoud five times a day for the last few years, will have to go mostly to European or Arab countries. Some Arab intelligence organizations from Saudi Arabia and Jordan and also the Israelis are already doing on site job interviews with them to use their talents against Iran. Those who go to Europe will definitely have to lay down their arms and organize into a political organization.
European Union decision to take them off the list of terrorist organizations is just for this purpose. They will again be used as a hired gun against Iran for political gains by the Europeans. They could easily be organized into a paramilitary style fascist/Nazi political groups and extend their hands into Iran for political agitation or whatever their host countries want them to do. Some of them are already helping Jundollah in Baluchistan and Bejak in Kurdistan.
The government of Iran should negotiate with Iraq to keep them there and not expel them; as this keeps them busy with what they have been doing since US invasion of Iraq. If they set foot in Europe, they will get better exposure from the Western media and can use it as effectively as did Ayatollah Khomeini when he moved to Paris. In Iraq they will be isolated and insulated for the next twenty or thirty years and thus the last chapter of this organization will end peacefully.

What the People of Iran are Saying:NO, PMOI aint't Terrorist

همیاری بىدریغ هممیهنان از سیماى آزادى
5:55:49 AM 1387/11/14
برنامه همياري سيماي آزادي
هشتمین همیاری ملی با سیمای آزادی- تلویزیون ملی ایران، از ساعت شانزده و سی دقیقه روز یكشنبه سیزدهم بهمن به وقت تهران تا ساعت هفت بامداد روز دوشبه چهاردهم بهمن (بایك وقفه 30دقیقهیی براى اخبار) به مدت 14ساعت برگزار شد.
در هشتمین برنامه همیاری ملی، كه پس از پیروزی بزرگ مقاومت و عدالت و درهم شكستن برچسب آخوند ساخته تروریستی برگزار گردید، موج تماسها همراه با تبریكات وكمكهای بیدریغ هموطنان از شهرهاى مختلف ایران و از كشورهای مختلف جهان بدون وقفه ادامه داشت. 18خط ارتباط تلفنی بهطور مستمر مشغول بود. هموطنانمان درتماسهایشان از تهران و سایر شهرهاى ایران تا كشور همسایهمان عراق و شهرهاى سراسر اروپا و از آمریكا و كانادا تا استرالیا ونیوزیلند، شعف و شادمانی خود را بهخاطر شنیدن صدا و پیام رهبرمقاومت در «تظاهرات پیروزی» در بروكسل در روز هفتم بهمن ماه ابراز میكردند. موج فزاینده اين احساسات میهنی همراه با كمكهای بیدریغ هموطنانمان به سیمای آزادی و حمایتهای پرشورشان از مجاهدان اشرف، جلوههاى درخشانی از عزم ملی و همبستگی براى استقرار آزادی و حاكمیت مردم را به نمایش گذاشت. این تماسها و سخنان شور انگیز هموطنانمان، هر یك چون تیری شعلهور بر پیشانی ولیفقیه ارتجاع و بر قلب تیرگی و استبداد دینی مینشست و همیاری ملی را حقیقتا به یك رژه سیاسی و آرمانی براى تغییر دموكراتیك و سرنگونی فاشیسم مذهبی درایران تبدیل كرد.
Who Supports the PMOI in Iraq?
by Anonymous500 (not verified) on Mon Feb 02, 2009 05:58 AM PSTOstaad, you ask the identity of those Iraqi poiticans who support the PMOI, right? Here is an answer:
نماينده اتحاديه ميهنى كردستان در ديالى خروج نام سازمان مجاهدين از ليست تروريستى را تبريك گفت
11:43:49 AM 1387/11/13
دكتر آلخو ویدال كوآدراس
كازاكا
لرد اسلین
نماینده اتحادیه میهنی كردستان در استان دیالی عراق در نامهیی خطاب به دكتر آلخو ویدال كوآدراس نایب رئیس پارلمان اروپا، لرد اسلین قاضی سابق دیوان عالی كشور و دادگاه عدالت اروپا و پائولو كازاكا نماینده پارلمان اروپا نوشت:
خبر خروج مجاهدین از لیست تروریستی اتحادیه اروپا خدمت به دمكراسی و حقوقبشر و حاكمیت قانون وعدالت است ، به شما براى تلاشهایتان تبریك گفته و تاكید میكنم دیگر هیچ دلیلی براى فشار به ساكنان اشرف براى خروج از عراق با بهكار گیری اتهام تروریزم وجود ندارد. این تحول مهم نشان دهنده قانونی و مشروع بودن حضور مجاهدین در عراق است چرا كه آنها برخوردار از موقعیت افراد حفاظت شده براساس كنوانسیون چهارم ژنو بوده و قوانین پناهندگی شامل آنها میباشد.
This is the guy that represnets Jala Talebani's political party (Etehadiyeh Mihani) who is abit more "Kurdish" than you and me and he is not jumping up and down accusing the PMOI of having massacred 6000 Kurds. Now can you name one Kurd who has accused the PMOI of what you and the VEVAK are accusing the PMOI?

Anon...500, On that note, we're not far apart
by Ostaad on Mon Feb 02, 2009 01:01 AM PSTI do believe political refugees have rights that are protected under a number of international laws and conventions. That's why I strongly believe the "Ashraf occupants" should not be forced to go back to Iran unless they wish to do so. That's why I said in my post that Iran should announce an amnesty for those who were left behind to languish in Iraq/Ashraf by their coward "leaders", who are laughing all the way the European banks right now. I have nothing but contempt for the politcally-engineered "terrorist lists" that the US and some Europeans have come up with to settle score with those whom they don't like for various reasons. The fact that MKO is a terrorist organization is not based on what this or that list says, it is mainly based on the manifesto and actions of the MKO from day one. I even consider MKO's political struggle supportable as long as it was against the Shah's regime and later against the Khomeini's, but killing the Iranians, Kords and Iraqi Shieh because Saddam was paying them to do so are actions that made them a criminal gang. The MKO should have been listed as a criminal gang not a terrorist group. Again since the Rajavis are NOT among the "Ashraf occupants" I think those people should enjoy refugee righs, but the Rajavis and other gangster heading that criminal gang must be tried as contract killers.
BTW, since you seem to cheering these criminals can you cite the souces and name those of the "Iraqi parliamentary and political leaders" who you claim are so interested in the Iranian poeple's struggles? Who are the members of the "MKO defense group(s)?, if any?
To Mr. "Osttaad": You think it is "nuff" about the PMOI?
by Anonymous500 (not verified) on Sun Feb 01, 2009 01:04 PM PSTDear Ostaad, since you are of the opinion that the PMOI has been at the service of Arabs and Isreal, let us see what the Iraqi political groups are saying about the PMOI before we obey your command that "nuff said" (this is not Sepah Pasdaran's Inteoroggation Room, Haj Agha, unles you think otherwisw!!).
Read the news item and see it satisfies you commands Mr. "Ostaad"!
رهبران سیاسی و پارلمانی عراقی این پیروزی را اثبات حقانیت مبارزه عادلانه مردم ایران توصیف نموده و نتیجهگیری كردهاند كه این تحول تاریخی مهم همچنین مؤید حضور قانونی اعضای سازمان مجاهدین خلق ایران در عراق و موقعیت قانونی آنها بهعنوان افراد مشمول كنوانسیون چهارم ژنو و دارای حق پناهندگی میباشد و دیگر كمترین توجیهی براى ادامه فشارهای رژیم ایران به دولت عراق علیه ساكنان اشرف، با سوءاستفاده از این برچسب ناعادلانه، باقی نمانده است.
،
هیأت دفاع از سازمان مجاهدین خلق ایران در عراق با انتشار بیانیهیی ضمن ابراز خوشوقتی بهخاطر حذف نام مجاهدین از لیست تروریستی تأكید كرد:
«همصدا با مجامع بینالمللى در دفاع از حقوق ساكنان اشرف نقض حقوق اشرف را نقض دموكراسی و پایمال كردن حقوق پناهندگی و حقوق بینالمللى و ارزشهای انسانی میدانیم و در برابر آن خواهیم ایستاد.
در این بیانیه با اشاره به كارزار 7ساله علیه این نامگذاری آمده است: «حقانیت پیروزی دراین نبرد قانونی آنقدرروشن بود كه حتی مقامهاى اروپایی ناگزیر اعتراف كردند كه هیچ راهی جز تسلیم شدن به احكام دادگاه مبنی بر لغو نامگذاری تروریستی سازمان مجاهدین خلق ایران ندارند… به این ترتیب حاكمان ایران دیگر هیچ بهانهیی براى اعمال فشار به دولت عراق نخواهند داشت، زیرا ساكنان اشرف كه قریب به ربع قرن بهعنوان پناهندگان سیاسی در عراق مقیم بودهاند، افرادی حفاظت شده تحت كنوانسیون چهارم ژنو هستند و از حقوق مندرج در قوانین بینالملل و قوانین انساندوستانه بینالمللى برخوردار میباشند».
Hear from the horse's mouth: Those who listed the PMOI!!

مجاهدین، سیمای بشر دوستانه ایران را نمایندگی میكنند
6:49:35 AM 1387/11/13
راديو بريتانيا
رادیو بریتانیا در پایگاه اینترنتی خود نوشت:
به گفته نایب رئیس پارلمان اروپا خارج كردن نام مجاهدین از لیست تروریستی یك پیروزی تاریخی براى حكومت قانون در اروپا بود.
این رادیو افزود: منشأ نامگذاری تروریستی مجاهدین به معاملهیی بین رونالد ریگان و اولیور نورث با رژیم ایران برمیگردد.
سازمان مجاهدین خلق ایران سازمانی بود كه به بهای پرداخت خون، فعالیتهای مخفی هستهیی رژیم ایران را فاش ساخت. اكنون پس از سالها به نظر میرسد اولیور نورث از این اقدام غیر قانونی محرمانه (خود) كه توصیه به نام گذاری تروریستی مجاهدین بود، پشیمان شده است.
رادیو بریتانیا افزود: سازمان مجاهدین خلق ایران سیمای بشردوستانهایران را نمایندگی میكند، این سازمان آرمان و عقاید خود را با پرداخت خون بسیار در مبارزه علیه آخوندها حفظ كرده است.
خاطرنشان مىشود اولیور نورث مدیر جلسهیی كه نامگذاری تروریستی مجاهدین را به دولت آمریكا پیشنهاد كرده بوده، اخیراً در نامهیی از دولت باراك اوباما خواست در چارچوب سیاست تغییری كه وعده آن را داده است نام سازمان مجاهدین خلق ایران را از لیست تروریستی خارج كند تا پیامی به همه كسانی باشد كه خواستار تغییر در ایران هستند.
No more criminal than the Hezbollah ...
by Maryam123 (not verified) on Sat Jan 31, 2009 09:44 PM PSTOne has to give credit where it's due: The MEK have been the only truly fearless fighters that have given the IRI state terrorists a taste of their own medicine! It would be harder yet to stomach the enormity of the crimes commited by bloodthirsty Khomeini thugs, if it was not balanced, ever so slightly, by some retributive justice to liquidate vermin such as Beheshti, Rajai, Lajevardi and Shirazi... Kudos to anyone who can deliver a fatal blow to Islamist cockroaches, be they Baseej, Pasdaran, Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, Badre brigade ...
The idea that MKO has been working for the Arabs and Israelis..
by Ostaad on Sun Feb 01, 2009 09:58 AM PSTis not new. The history of this power hungry group is an open book. They have been marketing their "talents" to the highest bidder for a long time and fortunately they have nothing to show for that. I wouldn't lose any sleep over the MKO becoming a "political organization" in Europe either. In fact that will be their demise because judging their track record, they are not good at political struggle.
In my opinion Iran should announce amnesty to the MKO rank and file member and publish any evidence of their leaders' collaboration with Saddam and request the court in Den Haag to try them as war criminals.
Let's not make a mountain out of the MKO mole hill.
nuffsaid.
what I like about MKO
by MRX1 on Sat Jan 31, 2009 06:20 PM PSTthey seem to be the only group that learned this simple concept: some times you have to fight fire with fire and for that I respect them. it's the islamic regime that has to be purged from Iran once all. Majority of MKO supporters can be rehabiliated and allowed to participate in the future political process.
Stop IRI Propaganda
by Parnia H. (not verified) on Sat Jan 31, 2009 05:46 PM PSTI am not a supporter of any organization nor a political activist. As an Iranian who has witnessed the destruction of her country and its culture by the Mullahs, I am appalled by the free publicity that this sites often gives to the IRI propagandists. In a nutshell, MKO, whether we agree with them or not, have fought the mullahs steadfastly for decades. I do not agree with their ideology (or any religious mentality for that matter), but I consider Mujahedin patriotic and nationalist. The front page of the Iranian.com should NOT be used as a venue for such hateful propaganda by supporters of an inhumane regime.

Expel the Islamic regime from Iran
by Farhad Kashani on Sat Jan 31, 2009 02:11 PM PSTI never cared about the MKO. They are small, insignificant and unpopular, as opposed to the IRI which is big, important and unpopular. However, the one group that needs to be “expelled” is IRI. The Regime needs to be “expelled” from Iran and from history.
It never seems to amaze me enough when I see these IRI supporters ignore what has IRI has done to our country in the last 30 years and instead ramble on about MKO.
Expel the IRI.
MKOs are traitors
by patriot (not verified) on Sat Jan 31, 2009 02:10 PM PSTWhen Khomeini was sent to exile in Iraq, he rejected to meet with Saddam Hussain or to use his help. Look what Massoud Rrajavi did when he escaped to Iraq. He praised Saddam Hussain as a great leader and start firing at Iranian troops. So MKO is much more destractive, more treacherous, and more dangerous than those mollas
Why IR is so afraid of Mojahedin?
by Teerdaad (not verified) on Sat Jan 31, 2009 12:41 PM PSTI am just wondering, why IR & its supporters are so afraid of these "middle-aged" Mojahedin?
Mojahedin aside, In U.S. & Europe, Most politicians in leadership-management positions
are middle-aged, (45-65), this the age that politicians are actually at their prime. People in theor 20's and 30's are too inexperinced, too temperamental and idealistic.

One more question
by Armeen (not verified) on Sat Jan 31, 2009 09:24 AM PSTI have one more clear question from the author of this FRONT PAGE "masterpiece":
Is the IRI less criminal, less treacherous, less destructive, less non-Iranian, and less "Islamisic" than all what you merely attributed to the "Monafeghin", MOK?
They are pathetic
by Alborzi (not verified) on Sat Jan 31, 2009 07:05 AM PSTYou can like or dislike Khomeni, but I have to admit that it was a courageous move to get rid of his main supporters, in fact back then they were organized and had supporters. Today they are a charity case, they have accepted to be the tool of any (and I mean ANY) belligerent force. It reminds you of a whore in shahre no. Its better to be Shahi than Mojahed. It should be dramatic their daily routine.
