This is the third in a three-part series about Iranian Resistance group, the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) in Iraq.
At the end of our last piece, the MEK had endured horrific violence from the Iraqi forces who were supposed to protect them from harm after the US withdrew in 2009. The MEK was then forcibly moved to Camp Liberty, an abandoned military base near Baghdad airport, where the international community promised they would be safe until they could be moved out of Iraq.

Sadly, the MEK was not free from violence during their time at Camp Liberty and the violence against them continued until they could leave for safety in Albania in 2016.
Let’s look at the MEK’s time in Camp Liberty.
Arriving at Camp Liberty
Special Representative for Iraq and the Head of United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI), Martin Kobler, organized this 2013 relocation without the approval of the MEK and refused to let the MEK assess the infrastructure at Camp Liberty before moving them.
They were moving from a fully functional city at Camp
