London, 9 Sep - The final group of Iranian dissidents residing in Camp Liberty departed Iraq for Albania earlier on Friday, the Iranian opposition announced in a statement, adding that the final round of departures marked the "successful conclusion" to the process of relocating members of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) outside of Iraq "despite the Iranian regime’s conspiracies, obstruction and threats, which continued until the very last day".
The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) said in a statement that the 4-and-a-half-year-long resettlement process saw PMOI members relocated to European countries, including Germany, Norway, the United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Finland, Denmark, Belgium, Italy and Spain. Close to 2,000 Camp Liberty residents left Iraq since the beginning of 2016, the NCRI said.
"In this process, the religious dictatorship ruling Iran provided red notices to Interpol and used fake arrest warrants issued by the Iraqi Judiciary in a bid to prevent the departure of 1,000 PMOI members, and arrest officials and other well-known figures", the statement said.
