And as I told you in Paris: as soon as this organization is de-listed from what is a mis-listing, we want to come here and I told you I’d give you a tour of the FBI headquarters.You’re great, and our friends and family in many cases in Camp Ashraf hear you and feel your strength and remember the words of the great wartime leader, Winston Churchill, who said never never never never give up.

  

And your courage, our colleagues, the families of men, women and children in Ashraf, you haven't given up we’re proud to stand by you today and speak to you from this birth of freedom here in Washington DC.

You’re great, you're absolutely great and that’s because you are the voice of freedom, you are the voice of change and isn’t it great here in America, and many other places not in Tehran, you can assemble, you can lobby, you can argue, you to defend your rights and ask for freedom; God bless you for doing that.

De-List MEK: Thaousands Rally In Washington:Colonel Wesley M. Martin

Speech of Colonel Wes Martin (Ret.), Former Base Commander of Camp Ashraf, on 26 August Rally- Washington DC.

Ladies and gentlemen would like to thank the opportunity to be here. I grabbed a quote from Edmund Burke, “all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing”. It is a pleasure this morning to be with you doing something to correct a serious wrong, the serious wrong was placing the MeK on the list. That serious wrong continues by keeping them on the list. Keeping them on the list does not support security and liberty throughout the world it supports the repressive Iranian fundamentalist regime. The MeK’s surrendered to American forces, they turned over their weapons, they accepted consolidation at Camp Ashraf, they renounced terrorism, even though they were not terrorists they renounced it as I would renounce it, and they accepted the protected person status.

"killing American servicemen and women in Iraq and in Afghanistan make no mistake about it enemy number one is Tehran"

De-List MEK: Thousands Rally In Washington : British MP Brian Binley

Thousands of Iranian - Americans rallied in Washington DC, to demand an end to the shackling of the Iranian opposition: MEK.

The Mujahedin e khalq is a pro-democracy movement whose founders first culminated the MEK after they separated from the popular National Front that went back to the days of Dr. Mohamad Mosadegh – the iconic National leader that nationalized the oil industry and hence helping the poverty stricken Iranian Nation at the time.

Delist MEK: Thousands protests in support of Camp Ashraf

By Alice Fordham, Saturday, August 27, 3:15 AM

Politicians, former national security officials and thousands of others gathered outside the State Department on Friday to call for the removal of the Mujahedin-e Khalk, an Iranian opposition group, from the list of foreign terrorist organizations.
Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy” blasted from large speakers and doves and clouds of confetti flew into the air as former congressman Patrick J. Kennedy (D-R.I.) introduced the group’s leader, Maryam Rajavi, to speak by video link from Paris.

“I salute your protest and gathering, which symbolizes an uprising for the freedom of the Iranian people,” said Rajavi, speaking in Farsi.

The controversial group, usually called by the acronym MEK, is made up of exiled Iranian dissidents who organized in the 1960s and now are mounting a political and legal campaign to end their designation as terrorists.

The group violently opposed the rule of the shah and initially supported the Islamist regime that came to power in 1979, but they became disillusioned with the theocracy and eventually fled amid growing hostility.

Installing new trailers south of Ashraf to increase psychological torture

New attempts to increase psychological torture on a Camp:

The Camp is not turned from a city with refugees in them to a concentration camp! by Maliki forces in Iran at the behest of the Vicious mullahs in Iran.

The objective is to eradicate 4 generations of dissidents in that camp.

The pretext is that these people are in the US terrorist list and therefore liable to any treatment since they are terrorists.

The reality is that these people are only dissidents to the mullahs in Iran who have escaped at least 30 years ago from execution. Most of them have their relatives executed or have them now in prisons under torture.

They are the survivors of a holocaust in which 30 000 were hanged, executed or mutilated under order by the Pasdaran ( Iranian guards). This is documented and famous event of the 1988 massacre in Iran.

Right now :

On August 11^,  Iraqi forces have installed two trailers at a new compound to station agents of the Iranian regime's Ministry of Intelligence and Security at Ashraf’s southern flank. It has been 20 months now since MOIS agents have inflicted psychological torture on Ashraf residents day and night through 300 loudspeakers, depriving them of any sleep and threatening them with further attacks and massacres. Gathering information on additional sites inside Ashraf and preparations for the next probable attack is another objective pursued by the MOIS agents in installing these trailers.

Iraqi forces used Army cranes and vehicles to transfer the trailers and building materials to the site. They have also carried out preparations to install new towers to increase the number of loudspeakers already installed around Camp Ashraf.

The Iranian regime has sent e,ements long time ago to brew chaos around the camp in order to provide a situation or a prext for an attack by the miliatry that is already stationed there. 

 Danai-Far, the Iranian regime’s ambassador to Iraq and an MOIS agent by the name of Haj Ali on August 8th paid a visit to the Jadide Shat district of the town of Khalis located near Ashraf. Under the pretext of hosting a dinner party, they paid a number of their Iraqi elements to encourage them to file legal complaints and claim compensation from Ashraf residents based on ridiculous grounds such as “occupying agricultural lands” that belong to them. This measure is intended to pave the road for further attacks against Ashraf residents. Danai-far has promised to provide fabricated and forged documents for them.
