Iranian demonstrators call on Albania to take down terrorist camp housing MKOs

Numerous Iranian protestors and family members of terrorist Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) members have urged Albanian authorities to close a camp that houses anti-Iran elements and prepare for the repatriation of their loved ones.

Iran (IMNA) - In order to support the most recent raids by Albanian police forces on the Ashraf-3 camp in the northwest of the capital Tirana, demonstrators and members of the independent civil society organization Nejat Society gathered outside the Turkish embassy in central Tehran, which represents Albania's interests in the Islamic Republic.

They emphasized that the camp serves as a location for the planning of hostile schemes and cyberattacks, as well as different types of money laundering and human rights abuse.

During the demonstration, the protesters issued a statement urging Albanian authorities to disband the camp and bring the notorious MKO terrorist cult leaders to justice.

The families of MKO participants pleaded with the Albanian government to forbid the cult's leaders from using their loved ones as human shields against security personnel.

Furthermore, they urged Albanian authorities to avoid falling into the MKO's psychological trap and allowing the terrorists to exploit them because the cult is abhorred by the whole Iranian people and even those who oppose the Islamic system.

According to Ebrahim Khodabandeh, the chairman of Nejat Society, "After seven years of supporting the MKO, the Albanian government came to realize that its national security is more important than anything else."

He said that MKO members' families are pleading with Albanian authorities to let them travel there to be with their loved ones and to get their release from the camp.

More than a week after storming the same location over suspicions that cyberattacks against foreign institutions were being planned there, Albanian police forces attacked the Ashraf-3 camp on Thursday morning.

Security personnel were stationed at the entrance to the camp housing MKO members, according to Albanian Daily News, and they were in charge of any cars exiting the area.

150 computers connected to terrorist activity were seized during a raid on the camp by Albanian officials on June 20.

Both police personnel and MKO terrorists were hurt during the operation, according to Albania's interior minister, Bledi Cuci, and the commander of the national police, Muhamet Rrumbullaku.

According to reports, the MKO member murdered in the operation was a prominent terrorist organization commander by the name of Abdolvahhab Faraji. He was reportedly adept in military engineering operations and was in command of technical and engineering tasks during a terrorist attack on Iran carried out by the MKO in July 1988.

Several more MKO terrorists are reportedly in serious condition as a result of the operation, according to sources.

Members of the MKO spent several years in Iraq, where Saddam Hussein, a former Iraqi dictator, harbored and equipped them. They supported Saddam during the 1980–88 war against Iran and afterward assisted him in putting an end to demonstrations across the Arab country.
