Over the past few days, you’ve been hearing the real story of the time that Iranian Resistance group, the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) spent in Iraq.
At the end of the last instalment, you learnt that after several horrific attacks on them, the MEK was being forcibly
moved to a different camp in Iraq. However, you’re about to find out
that they wouldn’t be safe until they were relocated to Europe.
ASHRAF
UNFIT LIVING CONDITIONS
The
MEK had transformed their previous home of Camp Ashraf into a fully
functioning city, so you can imagine how they felt about being moved to a
place which an expert from the Office of the United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) concluded was unfit to accommodate
them.
Camp
Liberty no electricity, no running or potable water, no sewage system,
no public lighting, no room for recreation, damaged kitchen and dining
facilities, and inadequate living quarters. Still Martin Kobler, Special
Representative for Iraq and the Head of United Nations Assistance
Mission for Iraq (UNAMI), agreed to the relocation without allowing the
MEK to view it and produced a report that said it met the international
humanitarian standards required.
Kobler’s
report actually caused Tahar Boumedra, former Chief of the Human Rights
Office of UNAMI to resign in protest at the lies given to the MEK, the
international community, and the UN Security Council.
Boumedra
said that Kobler’s agreement with the Iraqi government “[violated] each
and every article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the
corresponding provisions of the ICCRP [the International Covenant on
Civil and Political Rights]”.
Still,
the majority of the MEK were forcibly relocated to Camp Liberty where,
in addition to inadequate living conditions, they were still faced with
harassment and violence by the Iraqi security forces on behalf of the
Iranian Regime.
HARASSMENT AND VIOLENCE
The
security forces refused deliveries of food and medicine to the MEK and
refused the removal of sewage. They also removed protective T-walls
against the wishes of the MEK, and refused to let the MEK purchase
protective gear.
Then, the attacks began.
In
February, June, and December 2013, the MEK was targeted by rocket
attacks by the Iraqi security forces on behalf of the Iranian Regime,
which left 15 dead and nearly 200 injured. In October 2015, another
heavy rocket attack killed 20 more MEK members.
RELOCATION
The
MEK was eventually relocated to Albania in September 2016, but the fact
is that it took far too long for the international community to act.
The MEK were granted protected persons status during all of these attacks and yet it took seven years from the time that the US left Iraq to relocate the MEK to safety. This is not good enough.

It
is also not good enough that no one has been held accountable for these
crimes, despite calls from human rights organisations for an
independent investigation. The MEK members formally at Camp Liberty may
be safe in Europe now, but they deserve justice for the attacks against
them.
