Tired of having the plant pots decorating the grave of her husband stolen, a widow placed a spy chip on one of them, and caught up with her plants on the premises of the Iranian opposition in exile.
The Resistance of Iran in exile in France counts among its supporters passionate flower kleptomaniacs? This was a strange case for the police at Auvers-sur-Oise on Monday reveals Le Parisien . It all started when a resident, exasperated at losing several pots of flowers she had placed on her husband’s grave, equipped one with a GPS tracker.
The bugged pot was soon to vanish as had a dozen of its predecessors. Except this time, the 59 year old widow followed the path of the plant on her computer. Imagine her surprise to find that the floating plant came to rest in the premises of the NCRI (National Council of Resistance of Iran, aka MEK, MKO, PMOI), based in Auvers since 1980.
Accompanied by the police, the widow approached the NCRI. She recognized two hydrangeas, including the one under which she had pasted the chip. When asked, an NCRI member said he had been responsible for purchasing the plants in the morning at the supermarket … but he took back his words when shown the chip.
The widow refused the proposal of compensation which was offered and made a formal complaint instead. Besides the hydrangeas other plants were found that might have been stolen from other graves in the cemetery, where such disappearances have intensified over the past year despite the precautions taken by the municipality.
According to Le Parisien , the police interviewed a suspect on Tuesday. The spokesman of the NCRI has remained silent. In 34 years in Auvers, this is the first time a case like this has come to light. The NCRI has not explained the origin of the pots but says it recalls receiving many flowers as gifts from supporters.

On January 5, 2014, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon appointed Jane Holl Lute of the United 
States as his Special Adviser for Relocation of Camp Hurriya Residents Outside of Iraq. Since then, she has worked dynamically to resolve the stalemate at Camp Liberty where 2700 residents remain trapped, unable to leave the camp. As a result of her diligence, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees in Albania was able to announce it has provided the necessary measures for the transfer of a further 210 Camp Liberty residents to Albania. Local reports indicate that several apartments are ready to accommodate the newly arrived individuals.
Previously, in March 2013, Albanian Prime Minister Sali Berisha had announced that Tirana was ready to host 210 members of the MEK “for humanitarian reasons.” Since then, over 200 residents have already been transferred to Albania.
As a UNAMI representative, Jane Holl Lute works in close co-operation with several Iraqi governmental bodies including the security forces and Iraq’s Ministry of Human Rights, as well as the UNHCR and independent bodies such as the International Committee for the Red Cross (ICRC).
UNAMI has had to deal with constant complaints from the Mojahedin commanders about siege conditions at the camp. On 31 August, UNAMI reported that “the provision of life support systems such as water, electricity and food continue to be well in excess of basic humanitarian standards”. In addition, MEK advocates in Europe, such as MEPs Julie Ward and Judith Kirton-Darling, also insist that the MEK be protected from further attacks like the events at Camp Ashraf on September 1, 2013 and for them to be moved as soon as possible to third countries to prevent further violence.
Yet, now it has been made possible to transfer another 210 to a place of safety, the MEK has refused to allow anyone to leave Camp Liberty. Of course this may be linked to news that over half of the MEK members who now reside in Tirana have renounced the group and have begun to speak out about human rights abuses inside Camp Liberty. The MEK leader Massoud Rajavi cannot afford to allow more of the camp’s residents the freedom to decide their own futures, and would prefer to keep them locked up in Iraq under his direct control.
The problems at the camp can quickly be resolved if the MEK commanders would agree to open the gates of the camp and allow the individual residents to access external help from the UN, ICRC and Iraqi NGOs, as well as allowing them to access much needed medical care. Above all, it has been found that the most help to residents has been given by their own families once they have left the camp. Since it has proven itself inadequate in the care of the Camp Liberty residents, the MEK should therefore allow them to have family visits and to access all the help they need from agencies outside the camp.
++ Maryam Rajavi has launched a campaign to threaten ex members through their various websites. Nader Naderi an outspoken ex member has riposted that “if we were going to stop exposing your crimes we would have stopped when you had the power of Saddam behind you in Iraq, not now that we are living in Europe. Live with it, your benefactor is dead!”
++ Ali Ardalan a recent ex member, was married today. Many of his friends and other ex members have congratulated the happy couple. Ehsan Bidi (in Albenia) congratulated them, saying this is like spitting in the face of Rajavi.
++ In Iraq, Shakhvan Abdollah MP announced that the Mojahedin are lying and he has never supported them. A Rajavi affiliated website had apparently claimed that he has supported them.
++ In Iraq, Faraj Al Saedi, one of the high political leaders with the Hakim faction, announced that the presence of the MEK in Iraq is against the Iraqi interest and they must be expelled asap.
++ Jasem Mohammad Shankali MP, from the Kurdish faction, said that the expulsion of the MEK is in accord with an International agreement and has to be done asap.
++ Nejat has published an article titled ’33 years of deception by Rajavi’. The article is a thorough examination of the history of the Rajavi cult.
In English:
++ Mazda Parsi of Nejat Bloggers analyses the MEK’s claim of a legal victory in France. In 2003, France’s counterintelligence chief at the time, Pierre de Bousquet de Florian, said the crackdown was aimed at preventing attacks on Iranian diplomatic missions in Europe and elsewhere. He said that the MKO was transforming their compound in Auvers-sur-Oise, Paris, into “an operational center for terrorism,” after losing firepower in Iraq when the US disarmed them. Pointing to the seizure of 9m dollars in Maryam Rajavi’s compound, Parsi says that a “trial that begins with terrorism, money laundering and spying accusations, and which ends in acquittal of those who are charged with the crimes, cannot be so credible”.
++ In a lengthy analytical article titled ‘ Iran and Israel vie in Kurdistan’ in Asia Times, Brian M Downing, says, “Israel, in conjunction with the Iranian exile group Mujahideen-e-Khalq, has been assassinating Iranian nuclear scientists for several years now and Israel may have plans of taking advantage of rising Kurdish nationalism across the region and inciting Iranian Kurds …”
++ Nejat Bloggers revealed that six residents have escaped from Camp Liberty in the past few weeks.++ Le Figaro reported that a widow discovered the flower pots she had placed on her husband’s grave had been stolen and taken to the Mojahedin Khalq base at Auvers-sur-Oise.
++ Iran Interlink revealed that UNAMI and the UNHCR have managed to find a place for 210 residents of Camp Liberty in Tirana, Albania, where they would join another 210 who have previously been given refuge there. The Mojahedin Khalq, however, will not allow anyone to leave Camp Liberty.

Members and representatives of Setaregan Association (Switzerland), gathered in Geneva for the 27th Session of the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC). The Association used leaflets and individual explanations to inform delegates to the Conference about the human rights abuses practiced by the Rajavis against members of their own organisation, the Mojahedin Khalq. Representatives of Setaregan, including Nasrin Ebrahimi, were able to relate personal testimony to inform delegates, a move which was highly effective.

The prescribed rules for those who wanted to go outside the Camp Ashraf had been more complicated as the members where required to get the approval of different parts of the organization such as security, personnel and intelligence commands.
