TEHRAN (ISNA) - Five hundred other members of Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK, also MKO and PMOI) are going to be expelled from Camp Ashraf in coming days.

According to Habilian database, recent developments on the expulsion of the cult members suggest that in addition to the imminent expulsion of these members, more than 1600 Ashraf residents are willing to voluntarily return to Iran.

The report also indicates that Iraq has issued arrest warrant for some 70 MKO members who were terror chiefs, torturers and interrogators.

According to reports, Iraqi officials did not allow 20 trucks carrying the 397 MKO members’ stuffs enter the Camp Liberty and returned them to Camp Ashraf.

The relocation is in line with the memorandum of understanding signed on 25 December between Iraq and United Nations to temporarily transfer them to a former US military base for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to determine their refugee status.

Despite UN’s calls on Member States to demonstrate their readiness to accept eligible residents of Camp Ashraf who wish to resettle in third countries, still no country has expressed willingness to accept them.
