Terrorists panicked by Iran’s historic trial

After more than four decades of expectations by several thousand families of Iranian terror victims, the first session of the historic trial of 104 members of the terrorist group Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO) is scheduled to be held in Tehran on Tuesday, December 12, 2023, Habilian Association that protects families of terrorism victims in Iran said.

However, it seems that this event is more important for this group which is responsible for those horrible acts of terror in the country, Habilian Association said in a report which was cited by the IRNA on Tuesday.

Since the day Iranian judicial authorities announced that they plan to prosecute fugitive members of the MKO, we have been witnessing hysterical reactions by this terrorist group which indicates the extent of their concerns regarding the consequences of this trial. As the most recent example of this hysteria, the MKO announced via its official media that it has called its members to carry out 100 terrorist operations in different parts of Iran as a reaction to the trial, whose first session was set to be held three days later.

Following the MKO’s forced disarmament after the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 and the fall of Saddam Hussein, the main supporter of the group, it has attempted to pose as a democratic group that advocates a peaceful regime change in Iran to deceive some Western politicians.

Activation of the MKO’s terrorist cells known as “rebel centers” in the country reveals how fake its democratic and peaceful slogans are. However, perhaps no event could arouse this hysteria in the MKO than holding an unprecedented and historic trial over their crimes during the 1980s, namely the killing of thousands of innocent civilians through bombing and armed activities, to the extent that they have called for 100 terrorist acts to be carried out in the country.

Undoubtedly, a nation that has put behind such a harsh and cruel period not only will not give up on the prosecution of the murderers of its children, but it will be more determined to do such actions to shed light on the nature of this terrorist group for the world public opinion.

Iran begins trial of MEK members

TEHRAN – The first court hearing for the trial of 104 members of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK) took place on Tuesday with five lawyers representing the accused.

Held at the 11th Branch of the Criminal Court of Tehran Province, the trial of MEK members was chaired by Judge Dehghani, and court advisors were Morteza Tork and Amin Naseri.

The judge stated that the court oversees a case received from Tehran’s General and Revolutionary Prosecutor’s Office. The case involves the indictment of the terrorist group known as the Mojahedin Khalq, as well as 104 individuals from the group’s central cadre and its main agents.

After studying the indictment and following the principles of criminal procedure, including articles 7, 296, and 382 of the law, the 11th Branch of the Criminal Court of the Tehran Province has declared its jurisdiction to deal with the charges. This decision was made under the procedural law and the Islamic Penal Code, and it is equivalent to judicial notices, according to the judge.

Judge Dehghani stated that following the legal charges, the court conducted a comprehensive investigation into the case. A detailed report has been prepared, and per Article 389 of the Criminal Procedure Law and Article 391 of this law, the head of the branch responsible for investigating the case has acknowledged that the investigation is complete and ready for trial. As a result, an order has been immediately issued to determine the hearing time.

MEK in a glance

After the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979, the Marxist cult and terrorist group, which claimed it had played a major role in the victory of the Islamic Revolution, launched a campaign of terror against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Finally, in 1981 the MEK operatives took up arms and carried out large-scale terrorist operations, assassinating more than 17,000 Iranians. The most important of these actions were the bombings of the Office of the Prime Minister and the Office of the Islamic Republic of Iran Party. The president, prime minister, and head of the Supreme Court were brutally killed in the bombings.

When the MEK escaped from Iran, they went to Iraq and collaborated with Saddam Hussein in his war against Iran in the 1980s. They took up arms against their own country and participated in two operations against the Islamic Republic.

After Iran and Iraq accepted a ceasefire, the NLA (National Liberation Army), MEK’s military branch, with financial and logistical support from Saddam Hussein attacked Iran with the hallucination of conquering Tehran in a few days. As soon as they set foot on Iranian soil, they committed heinous actions such as setting people on fire and hanging them.

The terrorist organization considered itself an alternative to the Islamic Republic of Iran and was doing its best to attack the Iranian people and government in any way possible.

After about 25 years of presence in Iraq, the MEK was expelled at the end of Saddam Hussein’s rule and settled in Albania with the financial support of some Arab countries and the direct support of the Americans.

The MEK was trying to rebuild and portray its new face from a terrorist face to a democratic one by taking measures such as holding political and annual gatherings. To achieve its vicious goals, the MEK kept inviting famous and controversial political figures to its summits.

Yet, the report issued by Human Rights Watch in May 2005, once again revealed the inhumane nature of the terrorist group. The report was issued on alleged human rights abuses committed by MEK.

In 2016, the United States brokered a deal to relocate the MEK to Albania. About 3,000 members moved to Albania, and the U.S. donated $20 million to the U.N. refugee agency to help them resettle.

On 9 September 2016, more than 280 remaining MEK members were relocated to Albania, where they have been protested by the locals.

On June 20th, 2023, the Albanian police launched an operation at the MEK camp in Manez, Durres, on the orders of the Albanian judiciary due to the “violation of agreement and commitments.”

The conflict between police and the MEK left one dead and 36 other camp residents injured.

The state police said that the police didn’t use any deathly means.

The MEK ringleaders have reportedly decided to relocate their base to Canada following the Albanian government’s intense pressures and after the failure of their negotiations with the Paris government over relocation to France.

An informed security source told Tasnim that the MEK terrorists have come up with the relocation plan after the government of Albania and its counter-terrorism court imposed restrictions on the terrorist group following the discovery of incriminating evidence from their Ashraf-3 camp near Manez, a small hill town 30 kilometers west of Albania’s capital Tirana.

“The MEK heads are making preparations for the gradual pullout of their members (from Albania),” the source said.

The source noted that the MEK terrorists have failed to obtain France’s consent for the relocation of a number of their elements to a camp in Auvers-sur-Oise on the northwestern outskirts of Paris.

Iranian Terror Victims’ Families Await Historic Trial of MKO Terrorists

The highly anticipated trial of 104 members of anti-Iran Mojahedin-e Khalq (MeK or MKO) terrorist group is set to commence in Tehran on Tuesday, marking a significant moment for thousands of Iranian families seeking justice for decades of terror-induced agony.

After more than four decades of expectation by several thousand families of Iranian terror victims, the first session of the historic trial of 104 members of the terrorist group is scheduled to be held in Tehran on Tuesday, December 12. However, it seems that this event is more important for this group which is responsible for those horrible acts of terror in the country.

Since the day the Iranian judicial authorities announced they planned to prosecute fugitive members of the MKO, hysterical reactions were seen from this terrorist group, which indicates the extent of their worry regarding the consequences of this trial. As the most recent example of this hysteria, the MKO announced via its official media that it has called its members to carry out 100 terrorist operations in different parts of Iran as a reaction to the trial.

Activation of the MKO’s terrorist cells known as “rebel centers” in the country reveals how fake its democratic and peaceful slogans are. However, perhaps no event could arouse this hysteria among the MKO other than holding an unprecedented and historic trial about their crimes during the 80s and killing of thousands of innocent civilians through bombing and armed activities, to the extent that they have called for 100 terrorist acts to be carried out in the country.

Undoubtedly, a nation that has put behind such a harsh and cruel period not only will not give up on the prosecution of the murderers of its children, but it will be more determined to do such actions in order to shed light on the nature of this terrorist group for the world public opinion.

Former members of the MEK

MEK defector: Rajavi builds enemies out of family members

Jahanshah Seyed Mohammadi is a former member of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK). He was a sergeant of the Iranian army when he was taken as a war prisoner by Iraqi forces. He was jailed in Abu Qhuraib for 8 months and then, he was taken to POW’s camp. As an army officer he was treated violently by Iraqi forces. He and his peers were under torture in the jails of Iraqi defense ministry where MEK agents were actively propagating a pro-democracy and humanitarian portrait of their group.

The MEK’s propaganda in Iraqi camp succeeded to convince Jahanshah to join the group. He recounts “Under the group’s propaganda, I left the hell of Baathists, and I entered the MEK that was allegedly people lover but actually it was an enclosed group that imposed severe ideological pressure on its members so that all members of a family inside the group would become enemies of each other.”

Jahanshah Seyed Mohammadi recalls some of the torturers of the MEK. “I do not remember the names completely, but I recall a woman named Maryam Akbari. She was one of the high-ranking members of the group whose duty was to coerce members to admit that their families are enemies.”

Under the cult-like ruling of Massoud Rajavi, even Maryam Akbari’s son had turned against her. Jahanshah recounts a day that Maryam’s son, grown up as a child soldier shouted at her and accused her of not being loyal to Massoud!

Jahanshah cites the son’s words to his mother: “In the past, you were obsessed with your marriage instead of being devoted to Rajavi. You just thought of your husband. You wanted a comfortable life in Europe. Today, I am one of the loyal forces of Rajavi. I am even ready to scarify my parents for Massoud Rajavi. I am a devotee of Rajavi.”

Based on Jahanshah’s testimony, ideological meetings in the MEK were mostly focused on family. The arguments presented by the manipulators working in Rajavi’s system tended to convince members that your spouse is your enemy, your siblings, your parents and your children are your enemies. “They did it in such a way that a son would never try to contact his parents inside the MEK.”
However, according to the evidence that are seen in the lives of defectors of the MEK, it is certain that as soon as a person leaves the Cult of Rajavi, he or she tries to reunite with family. “Every member who left the MEK was immediately attracted by his family,” Jahanshah says.

Jahanshah Seyed Mohammadi is from Kermanshah, Iran. He rejoined his family in his hometown after he escaped Camp Ashraf a decade ago. He is now a member of Nejat Society. His interview with Mehr News Agency was published a few days ago.

Former members of the MEK

Taleb Jalilian admitted torture because there was no other way to leave the MEK

Taleb Jalilian believed in the cause of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK). He joined the group when he was young but after a while inside the group, he reached a state of mind that he was ready to be imprisoned and tortured as a procedure to leave the group.

Taleb Jalilian was a member of the MEK and a true believer of the group’s cause to fight the Iranian government. When the leader of the group Massoud Rajavi ordered the start of armed struggle against Islamic Republic, Taleb was seeking a way to receive military trainings, so he joined the Iranian army!

While being a soldier of the Iranian army, he tried to contact the group which was located in Iraq. It had been sheltered by Saddam Hussein who was at war with Iran at the time. After he was connected with the MEK, he was charged with the leaders to transfer the group’s forces through Iran-Iraq border.
Under the order of the leaders, he stopped his duty, and he left Iran for Iraq where he joined the MEK’s so-called National Liberation Army at Camp Ashraf. After a while things started to change.

“I still believed in the group’s cause,” he says in an interview with Mehr News Agency. “I was certain about it but gradually I began to hesitate, I began to have problems with the group, but I did not criticize the group at all. I just said that I could not keep on struggling.”

The cult-like atmosphere of the MEK and its oppressive ruling made Taleb Jalilian, and many other members of the group want to leave it but, this was a difficult path to take. Like many others, Taleb asked to leave the MEK but in response he was imprisoned in solitary confinement for a year, eventually interrogated and tortured by his own commanders.

“There was a judiciary system in the MEK,” he recounts. “The chief of the system was Nader Rafiee. The judge was Hassan Mohasel. Kak Adel, Nariman, Ebrahim Zakeri and Majid Alamian were guardians of the prison, interrogators and torturers.”
“They beat me to force me to get back to the group,” he says. “I was so terribly beaten by them that I could not hold my urine and stool for some time.”

Under the ruling of Massoud Rajavi and Maryam Rajavi, the torturers tied his hands and feet and blindfolded him. “I could hear Ahmad Kamyab who was beating me in nose,” he recalls. “He was an athlete. He was strong enough to beat me harshly.”

The MEK torturers told Taleb, “If you are determined to give up you have to sign a testimony to admit that you are a mercenary of the Iranian intelligence ministry, otherwise you will stay here until you rot.”

Taleb did not want to accept the deal. He had left his family, wife and his youth behind for the MEK’s cause. He had devoted his everything to the Rajavis, he could not admit the label: mercenary of the Iranian government.

He went on hunger strike until he was finally released. However, he was not allowed to leave the camp yet. Massoud Rajavi promised to deliver him and others like him to the Red Cross, but they were part of a deal with Saddam Hussein. They were delivered to Abu Ghraib prison and after a while they were exchanged with Iraq POWs who had been released by Iranian authorities.
Taleb was terrified. He was an officer of the Iranian army. He had escaped and joined an opponent military group. He was sure that he will be sentenced to death by an Iranian military court.
They were transferred from Iraqi border to Tehran while they did not trust their fellow countrymen. “I was waiting death penalty but after a month of imprisonment in Evin prison, they allowed us to visit our family and later we were freed,” he recounts.

Taleb began a new life in his hometown. He went to university, graduated and found a good job. He has a family and lives in Iran now.

news on the attack on the MEK’s office in Berlin

Mujahedin Khalq Organization's Propaganda System

Investigating news about the attack on the MEK’s office in Berlin based on media literacy

The recent attack on the Mujahedin-e Khalq’s office in Berlin can be analyzed from different points of view. However, the wave that the group’s media creates after such incidents requires careful investigation from based on media literacy. Media Literacy is a practical technique and a special skill that is very important to learn. Media literacy helps people to have a proper analysis of the content published in various social networks and media.

Consider that all the MEK-run media immediately after the attack — before the German police gave a report and analysis of the investigation of the incident– claim that the attack was carried out by the agents of the Iranian government. Regardless of whether the truth of this claim is finally confirmed by the German security institutions or not, the publication of such news is included in the category of false news, which is defined by terms such as fake news, misinformation or disinformation.

We know how propaganda works: by repeating what experts call the “big lie.” For example, American experts consider the claims of former US President Donald Trump as such. But when you are faced with a large amount of information in social networks and media every day, it is difficult to distinguish lies from truth. Every day we read false “facts”: misinformation or false news that deliberately mislead us: disinformation.

Why do people believe such information, which is generally called fake news? American psychologist David Rapp, who studies how people learn through reading, believes that memory plays a key role in this. In experiments, he finds that when people read incorrect information, even about trivial subjects they already know, they often become confused and remember the inaccuracies. Subsequently, they answer questions using the incorrect statements.

“You can build memories for the things you’ve read that can then get resuscitated or recalled later in your decision making,” he said, especially when people are not carefully considering what they read. This ability or disability of human mind is exactly what the MEK leaders exploit a lot.

Repeating false information over and over again—such as that the 2020 election was fraudulent that Trump claimed or the nuclear weapons of Saddam Hussein that George W. Bush claimed prior to invading Iraq in 2003— can lead to building memories for the information.

Repeated information is often easy to retrieve, which can lead to problems, Rapp explained. For the MEK, they have been repeating that Iran is building nuclear bomb for decades. They have repeated this fake news over and over since 2002 while no evidence has been found by the inspectors of the international bodies to prove it.

The closure of hundreds of user accounts related to the MEK in order to stop publishing fake news on the Facebook and Twitter platforms, was officially announced by both platforms. This is another proof for the long history of the group in publishing misleading news. At that time, the closure of the user account of a fictional character named “Heshmat Alavi” as the leader of the spread of fake news, was very enlightening for those who sought to learn media literacy.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization members' families

Ali Sepah Amiri children write letter to their captive father in the MEK camp

Dear father,
We, your children, pray to God for your health and safety. Dad! We were worried about you since you were in Iraq left in danger of war and insecurity. And now that you are in a faraway country, locked in a camp without any contact with your family, our worries have doubled and continue.

We are thinking of you and we tried to contact you through every possible channel, but in the end, our efforts remained fruitless, blocked by the cult of Rajavi in which you are trapped in.
We wrote letters to everywhere and we were active in the virtual space so that maybe you can find out about the situation of your children and the hopelessness that the MEK has planted in your heart and mind will fade and maybe it will be an opening where you can remove the cult barriers and choose your children.

Daddy! we are thinking of you always and at every moment we ask you to fulfill your fatherly duty for us. Take an action with your own free will as soon as possible and end this situation of indecision, misery and trouble in that anti-freedom Cult.

Love,
Your children
Afshin, Noshin, Neda
