On July 11, 2019, Ashraf 3, a small but modern city in Albania, opened its doors to delegations from Europe, U.S., Arab countries and other nations across the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On July 13, more than 300 dignitaries from 47 countries attended a conference in Ashraf 3<\/a>, organized by the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) and the National council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), the main opposition to the Iranian regime. Ashraf 3, located in Manz, near the capital Tirana, is home to members of the MEK who were relocated from Iraq to Albania in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 2,500 MEK members built Ashraf 3 in the short period of one-and-half years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The history of MEK and the naming of\nAshraf<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ashraf Rajavi <\/a>was a prominent female political prisoner in the era of Shah, who ruled Iran before the 1979 revolution. Ashraf, among the political leaders of the MEK, was murdered by the mullahs\u2019 regime on February 8, 1982, along with Mussa Khiabani, another senior MEK official, and other members of the MEK. Her dedication to freedom and her sacrifices turned Ashraf into a symbol for the MEK and the Iranian people, especially the women who were under the repression of the mullahs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Ashraf Rajavi was born in 1951 in Zanjan, she received her Bachelors of Science in Physics from Tehran University. But Ashraf\u2019s heart bled for the deprived people who suffered in a country that sits on a sea of oil. Despite having the opportunity to lead a good life, she chose to help the underprivileged and travelled long distances to various cities and villages to learn about their problems and help them find solutions. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In later years, when MEK members were forced to leave Iran, they built a city in memory of Ashraf in Iraq\u2019s Diyala province. During three decades, through their hard toil, MEK members turned a desolate patch of land in the middle of the desert into beautiful city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2003, after the\ninvasion of Iraq by American forces, members of the MEK, who were organized\ninto a well-trained army with more than a dozen bases across Iraq, entered an\nagreement with U.S. forces to voluntarily turn over their weapons and gather in\nAshraf. In exchange, the U.S. committed itself to protecting MEK members in\nAshraf against the terrorist attacks of the Iranian regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"

In the following years,\nMEK members continued to develop their city, building hospitals, universities, stadiums,\nindustrial complexes, mosques, museums and more. Between 2003 and 2009,\nhundreds of thousands of Iraqis and political dignitaries from European\nParliament and other countries traveled to Iraq to visit Ashraf and meet with\nthe MEK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Alejo Vidal Quadras,\nthen-Vice President of the European Parliament, traveled to Ashraf along with a\ndelegation from the European Parliament, and after speaking to MEK members,\ndescribed Ashraf as a \u201cpearl in the desert.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Camp Ashraf-Iraq<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In 2009, U.S. forces\nhanded over the protection of Ashraf and MEK members to the Iraqi government.\nAfterwards, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, who was under the influence\nof the Iranian regime and took his orders from Tehran, imposed a medical and\nlogistical siege on the MEK members in Camp Ashraf. He also prevented Iraqi and\nforeign citizens from entering Ashraf and meeting with the MEK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the same period,\nthe Iranian regime, with the help of its agents in the Iraqi government, installed\n320 loudspeakers around Ashraf. For nearly two years, the regime used these\nloudspeakers to wage a psychological war against the MEK members in Ashraf.\nMeanwhile, under the orders of al-Maliki, Iraqi forces attacked Ashraf on\nseveral reprises and killed nearly 50 MEK members and injured more than 1,000\nothers. Many others died as a result of the medical siege.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Finally, in 2011, under\nan agreement forged between the MEK, the UN, and the government of Iraq, the\nresidents of Ashraf relocated to Camp Liberty, an obsolete U.S. base near the\nBaghdad International Airport. The conditions of the new camp were like a\nprison, and while the representative of the UN had promised that Camp Liberty\nwould be a temporary transit location, the MEK members stayed there in harsh\nconditions until by September 2016, they were all relocated to different\nEuropean countries, mostly Albania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

July 2016<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Camp Liberty, near Baghdad Airport, over 50 missiles were fired into the compound from within the tight government-controlled security zone surrounding the camp\u2019s perimeter. Over 50 residents, including 14 women, were seriously injured and large parts of the camp were destroyed. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

During the time that MEK\nmembers were in Camp Liberty, the agents of the Iranian regime continued to\npersecute them and impose the medical and logistical siege. Moreover, Iraqi\nmilitia forces tied to the Iranian regime colluded with the IRGC and the\nIranian regime\u2019s embassy and launched several rocket attacks against the camp,\nresulting in the death of dozens of MEK members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the severe\nrestrictions imposed on them, the MEK members managed to transform Camp Liberty\nfrom a desolate patch of land to a beautiful compound, flourishing with trees\nand flowers and parks. They named it Ashraf 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After their transfer to\nAlbania, the members of the MEK were first scattered in different locations in\nTirana, the capital of Albania. After that, they went to a location in\nAlbania\u2019s Durres province, near the city of Manz, where they got a patch of\nfarming land, and during one-and-half years, they turned it into a beautiful\ncity they called Ashraf 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On July 13, 2019, the MEK hosted a large international conference in Ashraf 3, attended by dignitaries such as Rudy Giuliani, former mayor of New York, Joseph Lieberman, former U.S. vice presidential candidate, Stephen Harper, former Canadian Prime Minister, John Baird, former Canadian Foreign Minister, Sid Ahmed Ghozali, former Algerian Prime Minister, Bernard Kouchner, former French Foreign Minister, Michelle Alliot-Marie, former French Foreign and Defense Minister, Ingrid Betancourt, former Columbian presidential candidate, and delegations and dignitaries from 50 countries, including Germany, France, Italy, UK and Albania. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
