Iran Interlink Weekly Digest – 280

++ Iran is holding a court hearing to look into complaints filed by a group of 42 former MEK members from around the world. Because of this, MEK has panicked and issued a statement from Massod Rajavi which has backfired badly. The statement, or rather rant, starts with by challenging Khamenei, Rouhani and Raisi; “I invite you, if you dare, to attend an international court case with me”. Many Farsi commentators say ‘What court case? Rajavi has forgotten he is either dead or at least has gone missing for two decades!’ Straight after that Rajavi rants “we will kill you all, we will hang all the mullahs, we will come to Iran”. These are the same things he said when he was backed by Saddam, as if he is backed in the same way now. In the third part Rajavi, as usual, attacks the ex-members for exposing his crimes, repeating the same thing as he has for the last forty years; “you are worse than the enemy because you betrayed me. We will kill you first, before the mullahs, etc”. Massoud Khodabandeh Tweeted that it is unusual for a person to go mad after they have died!

تنها موردی است که من سراغ دارم فردی دو دهه بعد از مرگش به سرش بزند و نیازمند دارالمجانین بشود. جماعت رجوی است دیگر، چه میشود کرد، عذرشان موجه است. 🤣🤣 pic.twitter.com/5lLgi7csvF

++ To mark International Women’s Day, several female ex-MEK members wrote about their memories and experiences in the MEK. In another realm, in a spectacular display of utter contempt for Iranian people, this year VOA Persian vastly outdid the Saudi-run Iran International TV, and broadcast part of Maryam Rajavi’s message for Women’s Day. This prompted a lot of criticism from inside America. ‘We thought now Biden has come, he can’t do worse than Trump. We were wrong.’ VOA is paid for by taxpayers and controlled by the State Department. American commentators say this should be investigated. How did Maryam Rajavi end up on this channel? Other Iranians comment ‘VOA didn’t promote Maryam Rajavi, it just put America in its actual place’.

++ Every year for Chahar Shanbe Suri Rajavi spits into the wind telling the Iranian people (who actually live in Iran), ‘the regime will fall, come out and fight’. And every year nothing happens. Rajavi is banking on the fact that people use fireworks to celebrate. But her declarations simply illustrate what a blunt tool MEK is for foreign powers that she is shouting about this again.

In English:

++ Concern about the disappearance of former MEK member Hadi Sani Khani has dominated the English speaking news and commentary. Khani made the mistake of trusting the MEK to keep their word when throughout its history the cult has shown time and time again that it knows no moral, legal or rational bounds. After trafficking Khani to Paris from Tirana, he disappeared. Friends and family of Khani have demanded a police investigation into his case in France. Albanian historian and activist Olsi Jazexhi pointed out that Khani was trained in terrorism while with MEK and his presence in the EU should be a concern. Subsequently, he reported that two European security agencies are in Albania collecting evidence and have questioned Maryam Rajavi.

Mujahedin Khalq; A proxy force

Mujahedin-e Khalq and Lack of Social Position

Having a social base requires the support of the majority, and if there is no support, no base will be created. One of the claims of the Mojahedin Khalq Organization is that the majority of Iranians support them, and this is while the Iranian people clearly hate this group and have no interest in supporting them, that I will discuss the causes of this hatred in the following.

This group carried out many terrorist operations and in the early days of the revolution, many shopkeepers, students, etc. were assassinated for various reasons, such as attending mosques and installing pictures of Imam Khomeini or even having a beard.

After a while, these assassinations turned to a new face and took the form of bombings and mortar shells, which is why people call them terrorists.

The war between Iran and Iraq is one of the reasons why people hate MKO, and they attacked Iran on behalf of Saddam in Operation Forough Javidan, and that is why the people see them as a traitor.

Rajavi and Saddam

Another reason why MKO doesn’t have a social status among the people is the suppression of the opposition and the destruction of the critics, who, due to the sectarian nature of this group, minimized the tools of opposition within the group and suppressed any protests within the organization with imprisonment, torture and physical purification (Assassinating). They insult the opponents and critics outside the organization and call them mercenaries and spies.

The policy of the Mojahedin-e Khalq group is called”with us or against us”and if anyone is other than these two, they insult and humiliate that person.

Hypocrisy in the behavior of MKO caused the people not to trust this group. They were ostensibly pro-Islamic and for this reason, they were able to enter Iran’s parliament during the revolution, but behind the scene, they sought to collect weapons to overthrow the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Massoud and Maryam Rajavi

Contrary to the internal dictatorship of Maryam and Massoud Rajavi and their uncritical behavior towards external critics, they showed themselves to be pro-democracy, and the mismatch between the outward and inward behavior of MKO caused the Iranian people to call them hypocrites and distrustful.

One of the reasons for the increase in sanctions against Iran was the cooperation of MKO with the enemies of Iran, who made life difficult for the people by giving false information and spending a lot of money, and the harder the life of the people became, the more their hatred for MEK increased.
Even now, MEK is using violence as a practical tool to achieve their goals, and this is another reason why people do not support this group.

Some believe that the group is like a personality-oriented cult and that only the goals and aspirations of its leadership are important, and the claims of their members that this group is a people-based political movement, is completely false and untrue.

In her book”Chador in the Torn Heart of Iran”, Ms. Lili Gruber writes in an article entitled”Cyanide Tablet”that:
The Mojahedin lost the same small amount of trust and popularity among the Iranian people by launching a war between Iran and Iraq and betraying their country and people, unlike groups such as the Kurds and the Northern Alliance used by the United States in Iraq, the Mojahedin are severely isolated and have no support network to assist them in their sabotage operations.

Many party leaders agree that: the MEK is a cult, not a political party.

The noteworthy point is that MEK is not only unpopular among the Iranian people but in addition to spending a lot of money and working abroad, they also have no place among the opposition groups.
But the question that comes to mind is that given that the MEK does not have supporters inside and outside, then how do they bring a large crowd in their ceremonies? And for example, where did the population of three thousand people in Albania come from?

According to studies conducted in some reports, the MEK mentioned the numbers higher than what they really are, for example, in a conference, the number of participants was announced as 90,000, while the reporter who was present there, had estimated that the number of people was 9,000.

For example, in an interview with a Kyrgyz student, Alina Alimkova, Radio Farda, which is run by the US Congress, said that she came across an advertisement for a cheap trip to Paris on the Internet, which included a round-trip ticket, a week stay in a four-star hotel and … all for 35 euros, and by e-mail to the authorities, she realized that she had to take part in a political demonstration and chant Persian slogans to participate in this tour, and when she got on the bus, she realized that Many students are from Russia, the Czech Republic, Ukraine, and Central Asia.

In any case, they tricked the youth and students with every trick so that they could gather people for themselves, and if anyone refused to participate in these political demonstrations, that person would have to pay all the travel expenses.

As for the people living in Albania, most of them were recruited at the beginning of the revolution because of their good social positions, or they are the children of people who were born in Iraq and then sent to Europe to be brainwashed.

Some were taken captive during the Iran-Iraq war, and during Saddam’s visit, it was decided that some would join the MKO to escape the harsh conditions of the Iranian prisoner-of-war camps in Iraq.

The other part that was recruited came to Ashraf with false promises of work, residence, money, and so on.
Another point to note is that Ashraf keeps the identification documents of the people, including their passports and identification documents so that the people do not escape from the camp, and in case of escape, they are without identity.

In one of the memoirs of the members who left the organization, it is mentioned that “I handed over my documents and they put a notebook in front of me and told me to choose any name I wanted, and from now on I had to live in the camp with a fake name.”

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

IRI files a lawsuit in MEK’s host countries

Since the Islamic Revolution of Iran in February 1979, the MEK’s militia has killed over 12000 Iranian civilians. The group’s long record of crimes has been corroborated by a number of reports and documents published by Iranian and international organizations. On one hand MEK has been forced to work under the cover of political processes, but on the other hand it’s natural tendency for radicalism drives it to violence. That’s why the group is forming terror cells throughout the Iranian cities under various names to prove its existence for its supporters and disappointed rank and files. What follows is an interview with Dr. Salman Omrani, faculty member of Imam Sadiq University Law School.

Habilian: As you know, MEK has been forming and expanding terror cells for acts of sabotage in recent years under the name of “rebel centers”. These terror cells are on a mission to launch arson attacks on the government and private buildings. MEK actively uses internet to provoke unrests and provide trainings for group attacks on police forces or demolition of power lines, etc. What’s your take on these activities?

Dr. Omrani: Needless to say, the primary basis for the establishment of this group before the Islamic Revolution was political change through violence, assassination, killing, destruction and terrorizing civilians and government officials and they kept the strategy after the Islamic Revolution. Although, the group has tried to represent a political face in the recent years, it made no changes in its organizational activities and it has tried to keep its armed capability. In fact, the reorganization of the forces in the form of rebel centers is an effort to retrieve the former strategy and declare power as an armed group. Regarding the behaviors you mentioned, training and inciting people to violence is an act of crime in all the legal systems and will be dealt with decisively. Without a shadow of a doubt these behaviors are criminal offenses.

Habilian: MEK leaders have repeatedly supported their terror cells and released videos of their activities in their media, showing that they are keeping pictures of the MEK leaders. Moreover, some high-ranking MEK members as Mehdi Barai has quite openly referred to their “rebel cells” as their former militia known as the National Liberation Army. They are apparently moving towards violent and terrorist acts. Would you please explain the potential legal consequences of these activities for the MEK?

Dr. Omrani: The groups’ strategy for not being listed as a terrorist group has made them adopt more meticulous stances towards terrorist activities. They have made a great deal of effort not to take credit for terrorist behaviors lest they suffer legal consequences. However, as you mentioned, the key members of the group have acknowledged the formation of these centers to prove themselves over other opposition groups. This matter is of critical importance as the attribution process and assessing the criminal responsibility of terrorist groups are extremely complicated in legal proceedings. Sometimes, attributing a criminal act to an organization is quite impossible owing to the group’s terrorist nature and its complex organizational communications and the judge can only deal with the crimes committed by the people at the scene. Since the well-known members of the MEK have openly took responsibility for the creation of these [terror] cells and their criminal sabotage acts, the ground has been prepared for criminal prosecution of this group in the courts of other countries. Based on these positions, the IRI government can file a lawsuit in every country hosting the organization. In other words, classifying the political and militant wings of the MEK in these countries is well within the capacity [of Iran]. Additionally, their assets will be frozen and given to victims of their criminal attacks through a litigation in hosting countries. Finally, their members will be tried and expelled from those countries.

Habilian: How about the governments providing support for the group? Would they be prosecuted as well?

Dr. Omrani: Backing and facilitating terrorist crimes constitute a crime under international law and the domestic laws of most countries and the governments are obliged to block all the possible pathways to terrorism. Proving the group’s terrorist nature paves the ground for condemning their political and financial supporters as their accomplices in terror acts or promoting terrorism. There is also potential that the group’s supporting countries ask for compensation fund caused by the group’s crimes.

Habilian: A few weeks ago, MEK leader’s account in one of the social media platforms had been temporarily suspended for promoting terrorism and violence. It indicates the group tends to turn back to its violent and extremist nature, despite its claims of pursing a political and democratic path, which can be under the influence of Trump administrations’ coming to power in 2016 and their hope for him taking his seat again in the Oval Office. What’s your take on this?

Dr. Omrani: Indeed! Unfortunately upholding a law and implementing justice in the international sphere is more related to political matters than legal rules and regulations and MEK has regulated his activities in full knowledge of this reality. This is also probable that following the changes in the US administration, the group’s crimes and stances undergo changes, refraining from taking credit for the operations. However, this will not erase their recent activities and there is still potential for prosecuting the group in their hosting or other countries.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization

Complaints of 42 former members of the MEK against the leaders

The investigation into the complaints of 42 former members of the Mojahedin Khalq against the senior members of the group has begun. In the first court hearing the petitions of these individuals, part of the physical and mental torture committed by the Mojahedin Khalq was stated.

court hearing on MKO leaders crimes

At the beginning of the hearing, Judge Pourmoridi, while announcing the formality of the hearing, said: The defendants, in this case, are the group of Hypocrites (Mujahedin-e Khalq), Massoud Rajavi, Maryam Rajavi, Mehdi Abrishamchi, Abolghasem Rezaei, Seyed Mohammad Seyed Mohaddesi, Majid Hariri, Mahboubeh Jamshidi, Mehdi Moradi, Mojgan Parsai, Mohammad Ali Tofighi Khaniki, Mohammad Hayati, Abbas Ali Seifipour, Hadi Roshanrovan, Alireza Jafarzadeh, Mohammad Sadegh Sadat Darbandi, Mahvash Sepehri, Azra Alavi Taleghani, Mehdi Ali Gholi, Mohammad Javad Ghadiri Modarresi, Sara Samsami, and Giti Givechian.

court hearing on MKO leaders crimes

He continued:”Through France and Albania, where the members of this group reside, the notification was made after the submission of the petition.”We directly talked to the Albanian Ministry of Justice so that they could receive the notification sent to them through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The head of the court said: the notification was sent in January of 2021 and two months of legal opportunity have passed until the investigation.

Kayoukan

The lawyer of the 42 ex-members of MEK, Mr. Tavasoli said in the petition:”Human Rights Watch has provided a detailed investigation in this regard, some of the documents of which are mentioned in the petition.”

He said:”At different times, a series of instructions have been given to the members of this group, one of the instructions of that headquarter was regarding the social section of the group.”

Nader Chapchop

He continued: For example, Massoud Rajavi declares that everyone should divorce their spouses and all family emotions should be on my side, everyone should just love me and live for me.

One of the leaders of this cult, Massoud Banisadr, who left the cult, says: ‘Operation Forough Javidan, which we refer to in Iran as Operation Mersad, destroyed our political hope, which for me and many others it signaled an ideological end. We all became actors who played with each other and encouraged each other, and after Operation Forough, the well of honesty dried up completely.

Tavasoli said:”According to Batool Soltani, another member of the leadership council of the group, women in this cult are deprived of the most basic rights, they do not have the right to marry, let alone choose a husband, in this cult because having a social life, having private things like a private bedroom, do not matter and women cannot go anywhere alone. No one dared to criticize the organization, and many women were physically abused”.

court hearing on MKO leaders crimes

He continued: sexual exploitation was done for the leader of the cult, who was Massoud Rajavi.

He stressed: According to Human Rights Watch, this group uses three types of prisons. The first type is small units known as guesthouses. The second type of imprisoning was inside the camp which was called Bengal incarceration, and the third type was the incarceration in which women were physically tortured.

Eskandari

The lawyer continued:”Beating with cable, burning, beating, etc. are among the tortures that the victims of this group, who are among the plaintiffs of this case, suffered.”One of the members who had the word”mother”tattooed on his arm was forced to remove the word from his hand by heating it.

He continued:”Forcing to sleep with Massoud Rajavi, cutting body parts, severely beating and throwing on pieces of hot glass is part of the tortures that the victims of this group and the plaintiffs suffered and has caused psychological damage to the plaintiffs.”

He added: The members of the hypocrites (MEK) were obliged to work 14 hours of forced labor, including doing agriculture, transportation, torture, etc., for little food per day; In many cases, the work done by the members was useless and so that the person would not be unemployed. The plaintiffs, in this case, are people who have been harmed for years, and therefore financial compensation can never make up for the lives lost to these people.

Referring to the declaration of Human Rights, he said:”According to this declaration, all human beings are born free and everyone has the right of life, liberty, and security, and no one can be enslaved or tortured.”Given the principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations and the fact that these rights derive from the inherent dignity of the human person and in view of the above and the basic rule of civil liability, the issuance of a sentence following the statements is requested.

Albania

On Hadi Sani khani’s enforced disappearance

Mr. Manouchehr Abdi, former member of MEK, who was with another former member Hadi Sani Khani in Albania for a couple of years, has written a letter to Edi Rama the Albanian Prime Minister expressing the grave concern of the families and the former members particularly the family of Hadi Sani Khani over his enforced disappearance.

The text of the letter is as follows:

Honorable Prime Minister of the Government of the Republic of Albania

Greetings and best regards,

I am Manouchehr Abdi, a former member of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK, MKO). This terrorist organization is now based in Albania. I left this organization in 2018 and lived in Albania for a couple of years and now I live with my family in Iran.

A close and sincere friend of mine is Mr. Hadi Sani Khani, a resident of Tirana and a former member of the MEK, who left the organization in 2016. The MEK paid him an asylum pension for a short time, but when he refused to accept an offer to work with the organization and spy on other former members, his allowances were cut off. Hadi did not have travel documents and could not leave Albania, nor was he allowed to work, and he was forced to work illegally in Tirana.

He has always been in touch with me, but I have not heard from him for more than a month now. I was also informed that he had not been in contact with his family or any of his friends during this time. My concern increased when I found out that the MEK had published a letter attributed to Hadi on its websites, which was completely contrary to all of Hadi’s statements and writings during these 4 years. Hadi was an active and serious critic of the MEK and its leadership, Massoud and Maryam Rajavi. He has given numerous interviews to the international media in this regard.

Hadi Sani-khani and manouchehr Abdi

With the knowledge that I have of Hadi as a close and intimate friend, there is no logical justification for his prolonged lack of contact with his family and friends. One of his serious criticisms of the MEK was that the organization’s officials did not allow members to communicate with their families and friends. If he could communicate, he would do so unless he was captured. For the past four years, he has never lost touch with family and friends. How is it that he has not been in touch for more than a month and no one knows about him? Has he been abducted and imprisoned in Albania? Who benefits from this kind of work other than the MEK? Has he been smuggled from Albania because he does not have travel documents? Was he abducted and then left the country illegally and forcefully?

The conspiracies against Mr. Ehsan Bidi, another MEK former member in Albania over the past year and a half, by the corrupt elements in the national security apparatus at the request of the MEK have multiplied concerns.

Dear Mr. Prime Minister, I urge you to follow up on the enforced disappearance of my dear friend Hadi Sani Khani in your country so that he can be traced and his family and friends can be relieved of their worries.

Sincerely,
Manouchehr Abdi

Mujahedin Khalq Organization members' families

Abdollah Ostovari’s family bring charge against the Albanian Gov.

Mr. Yadollah Ostovari sent a complaint on behalf of the Ostovari family to the UN Committee on Enforced Disappearances.

Honorable Committee on Enforced Disappearances of the United Nations
Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights

Greetings,
Respectfully, I am Yadollah Ostovari, the son of Hossein Ali. I have five brothers and three sisters. My older brother Abdollah Ostovari traveled to Germany on April 4, 1980 to continue his education and remained in Germany until 1988. The family kept in touch with him by letter and telephone. However they lost contact.
After being unaware of him for 7 years, we learned that he had gone to Iraq and joined a group called the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK), and is based in the organization’s headquarters in Iraq.

We had no further information until the fall of Saddam Hossein, and the family traveled to Iraq several times in the hope of meeting him at Camp Ashraf.

However, we were not allowed to meet or even make phone calls by the officials of the organization in Iraq.
After many incidents that happened to this group, we learned that the whole group was transferred from Iraq to the European country of Albania and settled in a remote camp in this country. So far, any attempt by the family to contact him in Albania by sending letters to the Albanian authorities has not been beneficial.

You are aware that the Albanian government, in cooperation with the MEK, does not issue visas to Iranian citizens, and therefore our efforts to travel to this country and follow the issue closely have been in vain.
Therefore, we ask that international body to investigate our complaint and take measures to oblige the Albanian government to its legal and international obligations and to allow us to go to that country in search of our missing loved one by issuing a visa. Or at least to provide us means of communication.

We urge you to learn about the latest situation of Abdollah Ostovari, who is supposed to be in the MEK camp in Albania, in order to put an end to many years of family worries and at least provide the possibility of a telephone call.

Yadollah Ostovari, brother of Abdullah Ostavari, on behalf of all family members

The cult of Rajavi

Ten Facts on Women’s Rights Abuse in the MEK

Let’s review Maryam Rajavi’s promises for Iranian women on the occasion of the International Women’s Day

Women’s rights are the fundamental human rights that were cherished by the United Nations for every human being on the planet about 70 years ago. These rights include the right to live free from violence, slavery, and discrimination; to be educated; to own property; to vote; and to earn a fair and equal wage. These basic rights have been constantly violated by the group leaders. Violence against women is one of the most systematic, widespread human rights violation in this group. This violation is embedded in unequal power dynamics between women and men that is reinforced by harmful social norms or inequality in the group.

Maryam Rajavi, the leader of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO/ MEK/ PMOI/ the Cult of Rajavi) has always pretended to be an enthusiastic advocate of Women’s rights. She adds certain rights to the above-mentioned list which sound quite rational and ethical. Just to mention an example, in her message on March 8, 2019 on the occasion of the International Women’s Day, she persuades the Iranian women”to rebel against the culture of surrender”and”to cultivate solidarity, compassion, friendship and trust among our people”.

Then she tries to inform her imaginary audience about their rights.”Women are free to choose their place of residence, their occupation, and education,”she writes.”They have a right to freely choose their spouse, to freely travel, to exit the country, to divorce, and to have custody over their children.”

A very”controversial”right that she tries to explicate is what she calls”freedom of choice for selecting their attire”. She asserts,”The compulsory veiling law must be abolished”. This right is controversial not only because veiling is compulsory in Iran but also because it is compulsory in the MEK too. While women in Iran should cover their hair and body according to the law, they are at least free to choose for the color, the pattern and the design of their clothing. But, female members of the MEK are not even allowed to choose for the color of their head scarves.

MEK women

This is obviously shown in the pictures broadcasted by the group, itself. All female rank and file are wearing uniforms in both ceremonies and routine life of the group. The group has no exception for the rule of forced hijab. For example, Ann Singleton was a British Christian woman when she was recruited by the MEK. She was forced to wear hijab as an MEK member. She was not able to unveil only after her defection from the group.
In the same way, Mrs. Rajavi should be questioned on other rights she suggests for Iranian women. First of all, the freedom to choose their place of residence. Members of the MEK have always been kept in concentration camps whether in Iraq or Albania. Members are not allowed to commute out of the camps. Maryam Rajavi should explain how it is possible to choose a paramilitary camp as a residence for over 40 years without any access to the outside world including your family and friends.

MEK women at Simorgh operation

She speaks of freedom of choosing occupation and education. There is no such thing in the MEK camp. You cannot find an actress, an artist, a fashion designer, a hair stylist etc. among almost a thousand women residing in Camp Ashraf. All duties are scheduled under the rule of the commanders and all occupations are defined according to the agenda of the organization.

The”freedom to choose spouse”is unheard of in Maryam Rajavi’s group. According to the group’s regulations, celibacy is mandatory. Nobody has married in the MEK since the so-called ideological revolution that was launched by the group’s disappeared leader Massoud Rajavi. The revolution required married members to divorce their spouses and single members to vow for long-life celibacy. However, Massoud Rajavi was the only person who later married a group of female members simultaneously.

MEK Women

That means that polygamy was pretty normal for the leader of the MEK while his third wife, Maryam Rajavi utters,”Polygamy must be banned and marriage below the legal age will not be permitted”!

She also speaks of the rights”to freely travel, to exit the country, to divorce, and to have custody over their children”. There are at least 400 children of the MEK members who have been separated from their parents, orphaned in different countries and not allowed to contact their mothers because they are not permitted to enter the camp and mothers are not permitted to travel out of the camp either.

Furthermore, about a hundred of female members of the MEK have undergone forced hysterectomy surgeries in order to elevate in the cult-like hierarchy of the group. This stage is called”the Ideal Peak”by the group leaders.
It is clear that the”culture of surrender”is actually the dominant culture in the world Maryam Rajavi and her husband have created in Camp Ashraf. In this bizarre world, it is not possible”to cultivate solidarity, compassion, friendship and trust”. Members are expected to monitor their comrades all the time; they are supposed to write reports against their comrades; they are even expected to insult and beat their peers during the self-criticism meetings which are held on a daily basis in the group.

As the most basic rights of human beings and specifically women are violated in the MEK regulations, one should forget about the right to vote or the right to own property and to earn money. As an MEK member, nobody is compensated for the long hours of forced labor and sleep deprivation.

Therefore Mrs. Rajavi must explain about at least ten issues in which the rights of her female followers are violated:

1. Female members of the MEK do not have freedom of choice for selecting their attire.

2. Female members of the MEK do not have the right to freely choose their spouse

3. Female members of the MEK do not have the right to freely travel and to exit the group’s camp.

4. Female members of the MEK do not have the right to have custody over their children and even to contact their children.

5. Certain female members of the MEK have been deprived from motherhood for their entire life by a surgery.

6. Female members of the MEK are not free to choose their place of residence, their occupation, and education. No MEK member receives academic education in the MEK camps.

7. Certain members of the MEK’s Elite Council were made Massoud Rajavi’s wives during a ceremony called”Salvation Dance”, an evidence for polygamy in the MEK.

8. Female members of the MEK are under mental and physical pressure in the cult-like regulations of the group.

9. The atmosphere of fear, threat and distrust leaves no room for solidarity, compassion and friendship among female members of the MEK.

10. Female members of the MEK are not paid for the hard work they do in the camp and so they do not own any personal property.

Regarding the magnitude shortcomings in the ruling of Maryam Rajavi over her group, does she still envision”a bright and shining future”for”Iran’s women and people”?

EU security question MEK in Albania over disappearance in Paris

Since former MEK member Hadi Sani Khani went missing from Albania, his friends and family have been extremely concerned about his welfare. It appears that Khani had been persuaded by the MEK to sign letters and statements saying that all his previous criticisms of MEK were lies and that he and other former members had been Iranian spies, in exchange for being taken to Paris where he believed he would start a new life in Europe.

Hadi Sani Khani

The MEK published his ‘confessions’ on their websites. But after reaching Paris, Khani disappeared and nobody has heard or seen anything from him since. Now two major European security agencies are in Albania collecting information about the MEK and investigating the role of MEK leader Maryam Rajavi and her lieutenant Mehdi Abrishamchi who has been identified as one of the MEK’s main people traffickers. The security agencies have evidence that Khani was in contact with the MEK right up to the time he disappeared and have traced his phone to Paris where it was switched off. Rajavi has denied knowledge of his whereabouts.

Two major European security agencies are investing #Maryam_Rajavi, #FreeIran, @Abrichamtchi mafia for their human trafficking network in Europe. #MKO, #NCRI is being asked to show where is #HadiSaniKhani. They have found proof of #MEK contacts with Hadi SaniKhani. Is Hadi dead?

— Olsi Jazexhi (@OlsiJ) March 5, 2021

The MEK has a track record of eliminating its critics and unwanted members. MEK experts warn that Khani may have been killed. Another scenario is that the MEK could use Khani’s drug addiction as leverage to force him to take part in a false flag terror operation in Europe. As the MEK’s fortunes have waned in recent years – Rajavi was expelled from Europe in 2018 over security concerns – the MEK is desperate to regain some relevance in the west’s continued covert war against Iran. Khani could have been kidnapped to be used as part of another plot to discredit Iran in Europe.

Hadi Sanikhani

Whatever has happened to Khani, his friends and family are following the investigation with deepening concern.
