The International Committee of the Red Cross reported that 260 members of the People's Mujahideen Organization voluntarily returned to Iran, İSNA news agency reported.
"After the U.S. attack on Iraq in 2003, the International Committee of the Red Cross helped 260 members of the People's Mujahideen Organization return to Iran by 2008," the press secretary of the Red Cross Deyba Fakhr briefed the media.
She added that "we fulfilled human duty and get acquainted with their condition at the Al-Ashraf headquarters". Some members of People's Mujahideen Organization expressed a desire to return voluntarily to Iran, and we helped them in regard," said Fakhr.
Since June 19, 2008 the Iraqi government has required the members of the People's Mujahideen Organization, who are at the Al-Ashraf headquarter, to depart the country.
Currently there are 3,500 Iranian members of the People's Mujahideen Organization at the headquarter. The organization is considered to be the opposition to the current regime in Iran.
