Report on the 26th Session of the Court Investigating the Charges of MEK

The 26th court session to investigate the charges against 104 members of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) the nature of this organization as a legal entity, was held publicly on Tuesday (January 8) in Branch 11 of the Criminal Court of a Tehran province, presided over by Judge Amir Reza Dehghani and court advisors Morteza Turk and Amin Nasseri, in the presence of a minister representing the prosecutor, the families of the victims and their lawyers, as well as the lawyers of the defendants.

Following the previous session, the plaintiffs’ lawyer, Kazemi, discussed the operations carried out by the MEK, which included the torture and killing of a number of civilians. The lawyer asked the eyewitness to take the stand and testify about the victims and the accused ones of this crime.

Akbar Kabiri, one of the witnesses in this trial, after taking the oath said, “Taleb Taheri was a teenager, about 17 years old. He was short, had no features, and was very lively and active.”

According to his testimonies Khosro Zandi was the MEK agent who was charged with disappearing the bodies of the three killed victims of the Engineering Operation including Taleb. “There is a video of the discovery of the bodies of these three victims at the location announced by Khosrow Zandi,” he said.

Addressing the first defendant, the legal entity of the MEK and 104 other defendants in the case, the judge said: “International treaties on combating terrorism allow countries where terrorist acts have taken place to have their domestic courts have the authority to hear these charges and crimes.” This public trial is being held in the presence of members of the media and news agencies, and it was revealed that the organization and some of the defendants were fully aware of the trial and are commenting on it.”

He added, “I once again announce to Massoud Rajavi and the other defendants in the 26th session of the court, today we are hearing the charge of torturing a 17-year-old teenager. Your lawyers are present in court.”

The plaintiffs’ Lawyer said: “The legislator has criminalized four instances of forming, planning, organizing, and managing a criminal group. According to legal rules, a person who leads another person to commit a crime is considered an accessory to a crime. In other words, leadership of a criminal group is a specific crime; if the crime is committed by members of the group and the person who formed the group is prosecuted as leadership.”

A former member of the MEK, Jalilian also testified, he regarded Massoud Rajavi as the main person to order the atrocities the group agents committed. He told the court, “If someone in the MEK wants to drink water, it is impossible for Rajavi not to know. He issued his orders throughout the organization. They have a trained organizational cadre. It was not like they tortured someone and Massoud Rajavi was unaware.”

The next session of the court hearings to investigate the crimes of the MEK and its leaders will be held on January 21.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

MEK Tortured and Assassinated a Shoemaker

In 1982, the Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK) terrorist group abducted a shoemaker named Abbas Effatravash, whose wife was a supporter of the Islamic Republic, from his shop and subjected him to torture.

According to Habilian, the information obtained through interrogations by the Islamic Revolutionary Prosecutor’s Office in 1982 revealed the details of this crime.

MEK terrorist group abducted a shoemaker named Abbas Effatravash

Based on this document, the MEK central command ordered that the shoemaker, whose wife was a supporter of the Islamic Republic, be kidnapped and interrogated for information. To this end, the MEK reconnaissance team, disguised as members of the Islamic Revolution Committees, went to the shoemaker’s house at 10 PM and asked for him. Since the shoemaker was not home, they went to his shop near his house and asked him to come with them to the Committee to answer a few questions. The shoemaker, unaware of the situation, agreed and was taken by the operational unit in a car to a pre-prepared building. Upon entering the house, the shoemaker was subjected to torture, and after extensive torture on the first day, it was revealed that he was unaware of everything, and what the central command had said about him was untrue. Despite his pleas and after extensive torture on the first day, it became clear that he had no information, contradicting what the MEK centra command had claimed. Nevertheless, the torture continued until he was killed.

Conference of the Albanian Nejat Society in Tirana

Missions of Nejat Society

Message from the President of the Nejat Society Albania

Greetings to all my dear compatriots and also to all the Iranian families of the members trapped in the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) camp in Manz.

I congratulate you on the arrival of the year 2025, I wish it to be a year full of goodness and blessings for all of you.

We also hope that the year 2025 will be the year of the connection of Iranian families with their loved ones trapped in the People’s Mujahedin Organization camp in Manez and the realization of the fundamental rights of the current members of this organization and that good and new events will take place in this year.

I take the opportunity to review some of the important activities carried out by Nejat Society Albania in 2024

The documentary film “Mother, Love, Separation”, which is the result of our meeting with several mothers grieving due to distance and separation from their children, was produced and screened this year under the direction of Aldo Sollulari, Director of the Albanian Rescue Media. Society. This very strong and influential documentary expresses our problem well and we pledged by producing this documentary that we will continue our struggle until we achieve our goal.

During this year, many television interviews were conducted on prominent Albanian channels to clarify the nature of the MEK and the demands of families for human rights.

In this regard, many articles, discussions and online conferences were also produced, in addition to the fact that members of Nejat Society Albania were very active on social networks in cyberspace.

Online programs of meetings and talks with Nejat Society inside Iran and talks with families to resolve their problems with MEK were organized, which were very well received by the suffering families.

A public rally was held in Tirana to demand human rights for the residents of the Manez camp, as well as conferences in various cities, such as Shkodër, Elbasan, along with a photo and cartoon exhibition and a documentary screening, as well as meetings and discussions with local personalities were held.

Three books have been written by three Albanian authors and one book has been translated from Persian into Albanian, which is expected to be published, presented and distributed in the new year.

I participated in a revealing conference in Italy and met and talked with Italian personalities, which caused a hysterical reaction from the MEK and false accusations, which have been proven to be the opposite in practice. Our response to the lies spread by the leaders of the MEK is that we continue our work to protect the rights of members who are under pressure but are afraid to voice their demands.

The members and officials of the Albanian Salvation Association pledge to mothers who want to see their children and families who want to connect with their loved ones, to continue their journey in the new year more than before and with double energy.

Although we know that the MEK wants to close our association and is hostile to us in every way, we also know that all this is happening because we are telling the truths that many people do not know. We raise the voice of families who have been deprived of the right to communicate with their loved ones.

We want the people imprisoned in the MEK camp in Manez to have the right to self-determination and return to normal life and real freedom.

Here I should thank all members Nejat Society Albania for their tireless efforts despite all the difficulties and shortcomings. Although these people are often threatened or accused by the leaders of the People’s Mujahedin organization, they still show the truth of their lives and the reality within this organization.

Also, on behalf of all the members of Nejat Society Albania, I would like to appreciate the efforts of Mr. Ebrahim Khodabandeh, the CEO of Nejat Society in Iran, for leading our efforts to free the members trapped in the MEK. I also want to thank all mothers and families who have supported us in these years and I hope that in the end we will all succeed.

Once again, I congratulate everyone on the new year and wish you happiness and prosperity.

Thank you and respect

Canada bans MKO chief, group members from entering

The MKO terrorist group which had planned to transfer from Albania to Canada has faced a reaction from the Canadian government and public opinion and has failed to transfer 500 terrorists from Albania to Canada.

Considering the actions of this group in Canada and its attempt to bribe some Members of Parliament, the Department of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness of Canada, also known as Public Safety Canada, has imposed special restrictions on the group in Canada.

The most important action taken by the Canadian government is the announcement of a ban on the entry of Maryam Rajavi and the central staff of the terror group to Canada.

Additionally, according to the media, the Canadian government has banned the relocation of the group’s members from Albania to Canada.

Mehdi Soleymani and his wife Edona Honda

The cult of Rajavi

Let’s be the voice of MEK hostages mothers

A reflection of a bitter and thought-provoking call: the narrative of a night with Mahdi, congratulating his mother because it was Mother’s Day in Iran.
Last night was a special night for us; A night called Mother’s Day in Iran. My husband, Mehdi, and I were sitting at home and getting ready to call Mehdi’s mother and congratulate her on this day. But this simple contact was not that simple for Mehdi
Mehdi, who has been deprived of visiting his mother for years, was impatient. Tears welled up in his eyes when the call was made. He looked at me and said, “Talk to my mother, so I can wipe away my tears.” He didn’t want his mother to see his tears, because he didn’t want to convey to her the pain that was imposed on him during these years.

Mehdi has spent nearly fifteen years of his life in the captivity of the People’s Mojahedin Organization (MEK); An organization that had not even allowed him to make a short phone call with his family in these years. This is completely unbelievable and digestible for me, in a world where technology and communication have reached the peak of development.

After a few moments of the call, Mehdi’s mood calmed down a bit. He said to his mother with passion: “I miss you, mother!” I wish even if I have a day left in my life, I can hold you in my arms, like the days when I was by your side and you were waiting for me to come home from work and eat lunch together.

This bittersweet call is not only a reminder of Mehdi’s personal sufferings, but also expresses the pain and suffering of thousands of families whose loved ones are trapped in this inhuman sect. A sect that not only violates humanity, but also violates people’s basic rights, such as the right to communicate with their families.
This is the first organization in the history of the world to commit such a blatant violation of human rights. But what I cannot bear is the silence of politicians and the international community, especially my country, in front of these crimes.

To all the mothers whose children, spouses or parents are caught in this cult, I say: you are not alone. Your suffering is the suffering of all of us. Let’s be the voice of those whose voices are not heard. Maybe the day will come when no mother would have to miss a child that was taken from her.

Inside This Issue:

– Happy New Year
As we reflect on the passing year, we are filled with gratitude for your unwavering support and partnership you’ve provided us. Your kindness, generosity and dedication have helped us make a meaningful impact on the lives of the families deprived of visiting their loved ones trapped in the
‘MEK” camp in Albania.

– The hashtag “MEK terrorists” is trending again
The Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) and Maryam Rajavi were once again the subject of Iranian anger and hatred at the top of Iran-related hashtags. Iranian users used the hashtag “MEK terrorists” tens of thousands of times within a few hours.

– Raise Awareness about rights of MEK members on International Migrants’ Day
On International Migration Day, members of the MEK are deprived from their human rights as Iranian migrants in Europe. Their rights are actually violated by the group leaders rather than the host countries.

– December 10, Day of Shame for Human Rights Violators
International Human Rights Day, December 10, should be a moment of pride for human society, but for many oppressed individuals and groups, this day is just another reminder of the injustices they suffer every day. For an organization like Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), which claims to fight for freedom and justice, the irony is bitter: they themselves are the violators of the rights of their members, keeping them in solitary confinement and denying them the most basic freedoms On International Migration Day, members of the MEK are deprived from their human rights as Iranian migrants in Europe. Their rights are actually violated by the group leaders rather than the host countries.

– Thinking about mother is a crime
I wanted to write a few lines for the mothers who have children captive in the Manze camp! In our current era, which is the era of technology and information, the members of the MEK, especially in the Manze camp, are deprived of everything!

– The International Human Rights Day and MEK victims
Tomorrow is the International Human Rights Day. A day to remind the world of each and every human being’s fundamental rights. International days are occasions to educate the public on issues of concern, to mobilize political will and resources to address global problems, and to celebrate and reinforce achievements of humanity.

The cult of Rajavi

What was the fate of us 800 MEK children?

Whenever you see someone supporting the MEK, show them this video. This is the moment when more than 800 children, including myself, were separated, in most cases forever, from their parents by the MEK cult in 1991. Prior to that, our parents were forced to divorce each other. All based on Masoud and Maryam Rajavi’s orders.

What was the fate of us 800 children? No one will fully ever know because no one kept track. But many of us were transferred to foster families and homes where in many cases we were raped and abused. Sharing our stories is not easy, but a handful of us do because we found the courage within us to do so. A few hundred of us, including myself, were eventually lured back to Iraq “to find our parents” and ended up being recruited as child soldiers by the MEK, where we spent almost two decades within their ranks. I escaped and today I share my stories.

But the MEK will argue that their goal in doing so was to “save the lives of the children” and that they took them out of a war-torn Iraq during the first Persian Gulf War. And that they were sent to safe countries.
Then you should ask them:

– Why didn’t at least one parent accompany their child?
– Why didn’t the parents join their children after the war ended?
– Why are most of these children still separated from their parents after almost 35 years?

That is when you will come to the real answer that the MEK is an Islamic cult that has stripped its members of the most basic human rights and emotions. To the point where a mother, like mine, has no love for her son anymore and chooses loyalty to the cult and leader over family.
I will not we forgive. I will not forget. And I will continue writing and sharing my stories so the world can wake up to the evil the Islamist MEK cult represents.

Iran

25th session of the trial court of the MEK held in Tehran

MEK rial The 25th court session was held to hear the charges against 104 members of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), as well as the nature of this organization as a legal entity.

The 25th court session examining the charges against 104 high-ranking members of the MEK as well as the organization’s nature as a legal entity, was held in public on Tuesday at Branch 11 of the Criminal Court of Tehran province, presided by Judge Amir Reza Dehghani.

At the beginning of the session, Judge Dehghani asked the plaintiffs’ lawyer to take the stand and make his statements.

Lawyer Kazemi said: In the last session, we talked about a topic called “engineering operations”. After the measures taken in February 1981, a large number of team houses and high-ranking individuals of the organization were identified and arrested, the organization felt danger and accordingly sought a solution to stop this process. The members of the organization executed engineering operations. Engineering operations mean carrying out intelligence work so that they can understand the reason for the leaking in the organization, so they changed their approach from assassinating individuals to collecting information.

Kazemi added: “At first, they started collecting information from the people at the community level, but they found out that they were not getting any results, so they came to the conclusion that they would kidnap people who they thought were affiliated with the Islamic Republic and obtain information from them by torturing them to find out where they were being penetrated. This was considered the engineering operation.”

Kazemi continued: “Explanations were given in the previous session regarding the execution of the engineering operation and the crimes committed against Abbas Effat-Ravesh, one of the victims of the group. In this session, we will discuss the various aspects of the MEK’s acts of kidnapping, torturing, and assassinating two members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards, Taleb Taheri and Mohsen Mirjalili, in the operation known as the Engineering Operation.”

He added: “According to the confessions of the arrested members of the NEK, the group’s central leadership, following the successive blows to the organization’s body that had led to the arrest of a large number of its members, and also in order to identify the perpetrators of the blows, took action to identify, kidnap, and torture individuals with religious appearances to gather information.”

The plaintiffs’ lawyer said: “The core members of the organization made sure that their team houses were ready for the purpose of torturing individuals, as well as providing them with the tools and equipment to torture. When they wanted to torture individuals, they would identify specific houses and equip them, for example, they would prepare a house so that no sound could escape from it.”

He quoted from an arrested member of the group, the defendant Mehran Asdaghi, one of the military commanders of the MEK at that time. In his statements justifying these actions, Asdaghi said that the regarding the announcement of the torture agenda by the group’s leaders and central cadres, the torture line was not separate from the rest of the organization’s agenda. It was a continuation of the same lines of conflicts after the 22th of July (the start of the group’s armed struggle against Islamic Republic), assassinations and burning of houses and killing of government officials, and ultimately this same process of torture.

Based on Asdaghi’s confessions, in their justifications, they said that we are torturing now, but when we come to power, we will no longer torture. In this regard, the members of the organization, taking up the torture line, attempted to kidnap Abbas Effat Ravesh, a shoemaker, Khosrow Riahi, a teacher, and three members of the Revolutionary Guards named Taleb Taheri, Mohsen Mirjalili, and Shahrokh Tahmasbi, arguing that these individuals had a religious appearance and so were probably trying to identify the organization’s team houses.

Kazemi added: On August 6, 1982, the two great martyrs Taleb Taheri and Mohsen Mirjalili, members of the Islamic Revolutionary Committee, were standing on Karun Street near a team house belonging to the group’s members. The team house security force became suspicious of them and, after coordinating with the headquarters, searched them on the street, then forced them into a car and transferred them to the team house where they were tortured.

The lawyer quoted the statements of the arrested defendants: Taleb Taheri and Mohsen Mirjalili were subjected to the most heinous tortures from the moment they arrived at this place, such as burning their bodies with an iron and boiling water, severe blows to the face and mouth, and teeth extraction by members of the organization. Then, when their torture failed, they were shot and killed by injecting cyanide into their bodies. Then, their bodies were wrapped in blankets and taken to Nizamabad and handed over to the defendant Khosrow Zandi, another member of the organization in the engineering department. They also transferred the bodies to a place in Bagh-e-Fayz that they had prepared in advance.

“The images of this incident are clear and will be made available to the court,” the lawyer said. According to these images, Taleb Taheri and Mohsen Mirjalili were two members of the Guards who were suspected by the MEK and were kidnapped, tortured and finally killed. Taleb Taheri was only 17 years old at the time.

Sedaqat, a legal expert, then took the stand and provided explanations on the subject of the engineering operation, its origins, factors, and effects. He said: “As an expert, I must have an analytical view of this incident. It must be investigated why such actions were taken and why these tortures were carried out.” According to the confessions of one of the leaders of the group and the head of their military branch in Tehran, which were read by the defense attorney, these tortures were very brutal and similar tortures cannot be found even in the Middle Ages. This amount of brutality and misconduct is unprecedented in history.

Based on the confessions of the arrested members of the MEK, Kazemi read details of the ruthless tortures MEK agents committed against the five victims of Engineering Operation to the audience.
