Monday, 03 March 2008

NCRI - Dr. Saleh Mutlaq, leader of Iraqi National Dialogue Front dismissed claims by the Iranian regime for expulsion of members of the main Iranian opposition group in Iraq as baseless.

He said that the presence of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) on Iraqi soil is based on the international treaties and Geneva Convention.

“No one has the authority to expel the PMOI in Iraq; unless he intends to breach all international treaties. It is not in the best interest of the Iraqi people to break the law,” said Dr, Saleh Mutlaq in interview with Al-Rafeddin TV channel.
