The Islamic Republic has filed a "huge" case against more than a hundred members of the terrorist Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO), which has killed tens of thousands of Iranian citizens, according to Iran's top human rights official.

In an interview published on Saturday by the ISNA news agency, Kazem Gharibabadi, the secretary of Iran's High Council for Human Rights, stated that Iran aims to rid the globe of terrorism and terror organizations.

He explained that a "huge" case had been launched against 107 high-profile MKO members and that their indictment had been forwarded to an Iranian court. He also stated that a special branch has been formed to handle the situation and that the defendants have been contacted by email. “The court will soon start its work in accordance with the provisions of the criminal procedure,” he said.

Gharibabadi emphasized the Islamic Republic's determination to use all possible instruments to combat terrorists, particularly the MKO terrorist group.

‘MKO terrorists roam freely in West’

Gharibabadi also bemoaned the fact that members of the MKO are able to roam in several Western nations despite murdering numerous innocent Iranian individuals.

“In parallel with the legal, judicial, and political pressures that the Islamic Republic of Iran has exerted on some countries housing MKO members, those states have also independently come to the conclusion that the MKO is really a terrorist group. They are placing limitations on them, and we welcome the restrictive measures against the MKO terrorists,” Gharibabadi noted.

The top Iranian human rights official further stated that Tehran would not be satisfied with the existing level of action against the MKO, insisting that their host nations either remove or punish them.

Since the Islamic Revolution's victory in 1979, the MKO has carried out several terrorist acts against Iranian citizens and government officials. Nearly 12,000 Iranians have been killed in such terrorist assaults over the last four decades, with the MKO being the primary perpetrator.

MKO in Albania

Albanian authorities entered the MKO camp, known as Ashraf-3, near Tirana on June 20 owing to its involvement in "terror and cyberattacks" against foreign organizations. Authorities seized 150 electronic devices suspected of being used in terrorist activity.

During the fights in the camp, at least one person was murdered, and scores were injured. More than a week later, the police returned to the camp, and security troops were stationed at the camp's entrance to monitor all vehicles leaving the site.

Later, Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama stated that the MKO must leave the nation if it wishes to fight Iran on Albanian soil, adding that his country has no intention of going to war with Iran and "does not accept anyone who has abused our hospitality."

The European Union, Canada, the United States, and Japan had previously listed the MKO as a “terrorist organization.”

The group, however, was removed from the United States' list of terrorist groups in 2012. Following suit, the EU removed the organization from its list of terrorist organizations.
