Khamenei orders Maliki to suppress Iranians in Camp Liberty and Ashraf

NCRI – The Iranian regime’s news outlets published a replica story on the meeting of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki with Heydar Moslehi, the head of Iranian regime’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) in Iraq capital on Tuesday evening.

The news outlets quoted Maliki as saying: “The Government [of Iraq] is after the ways to expel all the members of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) in near future because this group has been become an internal and a regional concern.” (Iranian regime’s state-run news agencies, April 3, 2013)

In the midst of escalating internal feuding, the Iranian regime’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who is engulfed by domestic and international crisis, has ordered Moslehi to pass down his orders to Maliki to suppress the PMOI and discuss with various Iraqi politicians the ways to keep Maliki in power at least until next election in Iraq.

Following the meeting with Faleh al-Fayyaz, Al-Maliki’s National Security Advisor, on Tuesday, Moslehi said that during the visit “he will seriously follow up the PMOI’s expulsion from Iraq… and with coordination in place, God willing, very soon this group will be removed from Iraq.”

Based on a report on April 3, unprecedentedly Mailki acknowledged his meddling in Syria to maintain Bashar al-Assad in power in that country. He said: “Iraq and Iran’s position on Syria are completely identical.”
In response to Maliki’s demand for expansion of mutual cooperation with the Iranian regime for “establishment of sustainable security and its promotion” Moslehi said: “Iran will provide its experiences on establishing stability and security expertise to the Government of Iraq.”

Iranian regime’s “stability and security expertise” is nothing more than stepping up torture, execution and assassination of opponents in Iraq and increasing suppressive measures against the PMOI. The execution of 30 political prisoners in Iraq in the days prior to Moslehi’s arrival is forestallment for such mutual cooperation.

Following his meeting with Moslehi, Faleh Fayyaz said on April 2:”This was an important meeting and we talked about various aspects of advancing security relations between the two countries on all issues pertaining to the security of the two countries. And we talked about benefiting from the Islamic Republic’s experts on these issues.” (Iraq TV Al-Beladi, April 2, 2013)

Moslehi’s visit and his meetings with Maliki and Fayyaz as well as a carte blanche provided by Martin Kobler, UN Secretary General’s Special Representative for Iraq, are all parts of plans by the Iranian regime and the Government of Iraq for a fourth massacre of 3,200 Iranian refugees in Iraq.

Martin Kobler gave a green light for a fourth deadly massacre of Iranian refugees on April 1 in a letter stating that he would not “in any way associate” with the legal procedures of the government of Iraq to close Camp Ashraf.

The 3,200 Iranian refugees are under international protection and the UN Secretary General and UN High Commissioner for Refugees have responsibilities toward them. The US government has signed individual agreement with everyone of them to protect them until their final disposition in return for handover of their weapons.
The Iranian Resistance calls on international community and particularly the United Nations and US government to take immediate measures to prevent another massacre in Ashraf and Camp Liberty.
