Black Plague – Photos expose the MEK organized crime in Diyala

Diyala – A number of members of the House of Representatives and local government officals of Diyala province along with Senate members, academic figures, the media and managers of departments in the district of Khalis, established the Clans and Families of Diyala Exhibition – named Black Plague. This is a photographic exhibition exposing the crimes and practices of the Mojahedin Organization in the province of Diyala in Iraq.

the Clans and Families of Diyala Exhibition - named Black Plague.

The exhibition, which comprises 100 large colour photographs (100 × 70) cm, is scheduled to continue for three days at the Hall of the Directorate of Youth and Sports in the city of Khalis, 15 kilometers north of the city of Baquba, the county seat.

The exhibition also includes words and poems condemning the crimes of the Mojahedin. A Conference of the founders of the exhibition called on the government not to deviate from the public call for the removal of the Mojahedin from the land of Iraq.

The Mayor of Khalis, Adi Alkhaddran told Iraq Beituna Agency that the exhibition is the first of its kind in the province, noting that it was preceded by several conferences and demonstrations demanding the expulsion of the Mojahedin from Diyala and out of the country in accordance with the principles of the Constitution, which prohibits the presence of, and harbouring of terrorist organizations on its territory, and using the country as a springboard for aggressive operations against neighbouring countries. The Mayor urged the government to specify its position on the issue of the Mojahedin organization and put pressure on international organizations to support Iraq and not to do deals with it [Mojahedin].

Alkhaddran said that the Mojahedin Organization had plundered the country and the province, taking over 6000 acres of land in Khalis district. He said they took 80% of the citizens’ plots of land, and pointed out the economic gains for the Judiciary by returning the investment in Camp Ashraf taken by the organization for more than three decades.

Noting the tension created in the relationship with Iran created by the former regime by harbouring the Mojahedin and the futility and foolishness of Saddam’s regime, the Mayor said that”some parties, under the flag of the Baath Party, are still in the political arena with external support and local cooperation with the Mojahedin Organization and trying to whitewash their crimes in front of public opinion and demanding humanitarian laws in dealing with members of this organization, which is stained with the blood of Iraqi people.”

The former Congressman and a member of the National Coalition, Taha Shield Saadi said during his speech on the crimes of the Mojahedin and its role in the genocide of the Iraqi people in several areas , notably the south and areas of Tuz and Diyala, revealed the relation of Saddam’s regime with the Mojahedin Organisation over many decades, such as misusing the Oil for Food programme and using the Mojahedin to operate economic resources and commercial companies on behalf of Iraq abroad.

Saadi said that the Iraqis have a legitimate legal right to prosecute the Mojahedin Organization for organized crime before the fall of the regime, and supporting and harbouring terrorist groups after the fall of the regime.

He added: The Mojahedin in their various websites, claim that there are many groups and organisations which support them, but these are fictitious and only exist on the group’s websites. They invite people to anti-Iraq and anti-establishment activities as well as joining in the cult activities. They also spread hatred between religions and ethnic groups in Iraq.

In turn, the Deputy Chairman of the Diyala Council, Sadeq Al-Husseini, denounced the double standards followed by the United Nations in dealing with the Mojahedin, demanding that Iraq be lenient toward members of the Organization. The United Nations for the first time has accepted the classification of the Mojahedin as terrorist but still asked Iraq to be lenient. He added that, the interference of Mojahedin in the internal affairs of Iraq is unacceptable and unjustifiable and that the group are dangerous and saturated with bloodshed and the culture of death.

Husseini said that the Council of Diyala and the parliament had passed a resolution to expel the MKO from the country, but this decision was not acted on properly by central government. He praised the position of the Council of Samawah province which refused to allow the Mojahedin to be relocated to their territory.

The Vice-Chairman of the Board of Diyala who emphasised again the demand of the people of Iraq to expel the Mojahedin, said this organisation is logistically and financially behind all the security problems in the province, and this has been endorsed by the security officials that this is the case. Therefore we do not want them to stay in our country for even a day.
Member of Parliament for the Iraqi List (Ahmad Sharif) said that after parliament passed a decree to remove the Mojahedin from Iraq. He stressed that the settlement of issues between the Mojahedin and the government of Iran is nothing to with Iraq.

Sharif also referred to some of the attacks on mosques during Friday prayers in Sadr City by direct order of Saddam’s regime and emphasised on the need to expel the MKO according to the constitution of Iraq and international laws of the United Nations.

Tribal and religious figures also rejected the presence of MKO in Diyala province. In this respect, Sheikh Hamid al-Azzawi ( religious scholar ) condemned the use of the name of Mojahedin for this organisation with its black history and the murderous acts they carried out before and after the fall of Saddam. He said the presence of the MKO shows the weakness of the Iraqi govt, which should be rectified as soon as possible.

The head of Ezzah tribe, Sheikh Ali al-burhan al- Azzawi explained the confiscation of tens of thousands of kilometres of agricultural land by the Mojahedin and their regular attacks during the time of Saddam, terrorising the villagers and arresting their children. And using repressive methods all under Saddam’s order with the threat that, confronting the Mojahedin means confronting Saddam. He demanded compensation for the tribal people.

Al-Azzawi said, after the fall of Saddam, Mojahedin started buying goods and vehicles stolen from the government and they encouraged weak people to commit burglary and steal things and had a direct role in the lootings and crimes at that time.

Sheikh Mohammed Jassem Al-Tamimi invited all the international and internal bodies and organisations responsible for deporting the MKO to use peaceful means and not to resort to force. He compared the MKO with the Black Death plague which has fallen on the land of Diyala province and especially Khalis. He said that they are still the main place of support for Saddamists and its repressive apparatus in the province.

Sheikh Resan Maamouri head of the Al-mamereh tribe in Diala warned against the presence of this Black Death (Rajavi cult) in Iraq and Diyala province and their role in the support and training and logistics of organised terrorism, and asked the government to put an end to the suffering of the people of the province and once and for all get rid of this dangerous disease (Rajavi cult).

The head of the media committee for Diayal provincial Council, Fakhri al-Obeidi, rejected the claim that 480,000 Diyali residents have asked for the Mojahedin to stay in the province. He said the number produced by the Mojahedin is irrational and added that the total number of residents in the five sections, including all tribes, including adults and children is one million four hundred and eighty thousand. This is considering that I have added the cities of Khaneqin and Balous which are from Mandaly and Gazzanieh, and also huge parts of Muqdadiya , Baquba and people of Khalis, who we know have never had signed such a thing…

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

Letter to the families of victims of September 11

The letter of Iran’s families of terrorist victims to the families of victims of September 11

Terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 marked a painful beginning for the millennium of the The letter of Iran's families of terrorist victims to the families of victims of September 11 human civilization history. This event was the evidence of the obvious savageries of groups which do not consider any respect for human lives and do not hesitate in committing any crime for achieving their goals.

Terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 marked a painful beginning for the millennium of the human civilization history. This event was the evidence of the obvious savageries of groups which do not consider any respect for human lives and do not hesitate in committing any crime for achieving their goals.

We, the members of Justice Supporters Association, compromising the families of 16000 terrorism victims of Iran, once more condemning the September 11 attacks and expressing our sympathy with the victims’ families, believe that terrorism is an ominous phenomenon which revealed its cruel nature more than ever in 2001 attacks.

The happiness of terrorist organizations across the globe following this heart-breaking event showed that the global community is encountering interacted and dangerous organizations which do not follow any role in murder and violence, these organizations kill innocent people throughout the world from the biggest cities of the United States to the small villages of the Middle East.

One of these organizations is the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization which celebrated after the September 11 attacks due to its Marxist-Leninist ideologies. Now the question is that, why the leaders of terrorist organizations like MKO and Al-Qaeda which have bee designated as cult-like terrorist organizations, are not arrested and tried.

Mojahedin-e Khalq terrorist organization, which has murdered more than 12000 civilians in Iran and cooperated in the suppression of Kurds and Shiites in Iraq, has perpetrated various crimes including kidnapping, highjacking, armed robbery, however, not any step has been taken by international societies for its eradication.

We, the families of terror victims and members of the Justice Supporters Association who have lost our dearest ones by MKO attack, call for the arrest and trial of the leaders of this terrorist organization. We would like to witness a day in which no one grieves for his beloved ones. This is not possible unless an international effort and cooperation of non-governmental organizations comprised of terror victims’ families of the world.

Mujahedin Khalq; A proxy force

MKO Terrorists from Iraq on the move

Washington has reportedly called on the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) militants to allow members of an anti-Iran terrorist group Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) into mountainous area along Iran’s northwestern border, the Fars News Agency reports.

Washington’s proposal comes as the deadline for complete withdrawal of US troops from Iraq draws near and Baghdad is set to hunt down and expel MKO terrorists which are historically aligned with the former Saddam Hussein regime.

The US is reportedly seeking to relocate the MKO terrorist before leaving Iraq. The MKO is regarded as a terrorist organization by much of the international community including the United States.

An informed source, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Press TV last month that a group of 150 long-time MKO terrorists has been moved from their base in Camp Ashraf near Baghdad to a US base in central Iraq to be trained as spies against Iran.

More recently the group appears to have been looking for new locations further afield, where it can operate and survive independently, or even retire its older members without being tracked down.

MKO is believed to have several thousand members, one-third to one-half of whom are fighters. MKO activities have dropped off in recent years as its membership has dwindled.

The fall of Saddam Hussein‘s regime affected the circumstances of the designated foreign terrorist organization Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK). The MEK was allied with the Iraqi regime and received most of its support from it. The MEK assisted the Hussein regime in suppressing opposition within Iraq, and performed internal security for the Iraqi regime. The National Liberation Army was the military wing of the National Council of Resistance of Iran.

MKO is known by various names, including National Liberation Army of Iran (NLA), People’s Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI), National Council of Resistance (NCR), National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), Muslim Iranian Student’s Society.

MKO is the largest and most militant group opposed to the Islamic Republic of Iran. It is led by husband and wife Massoud and Maryam Rajavi. MKO was added to the U.S. State Department’s list of foreign terrorist groups in 1997.

The group has targeted Iranian government officials and government facilities in Iran and abroad; during the 1970s, it attacked Americans in Iran.

When Saddam Hussein was in power, MEK received the majority of its financial support from the Iraqi regime. It also used front organizations, such as the Muslim Iranian Student’s Society, to collect money from expatriate Iranians and others, according to the State Department’s counterterrorism office.

Maryam Rajavi is MEK’s principal leader; her husband, Massoud Rajavi, heads up the group’s military forces. Maryam Rajavi, born in 1953 to an upper-middleclass Iranian family, joined MEK as a student in Tehran in the early 1970s.

After relocating with the group to Paris in 1981, Maryam Rajavi was elected its joint leader and later became deputy commander-in-chief of its armed wing. Massoud Rajavi was last known to be living in Iraq, but authorities aren’t certain of his whereabouts or whether he is alive.

Iran: Americans should stop using MKO terrorists to distort facts

Official: West Seeking to Distort Peaceful Nature of Iran’s N. Program

Spokesman of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Ali Shirzadian rejected claims about a secret nuclear site near the capital, stressing that the West is trying to distort the true nature of Iran’s peaceful nuclear program.

"Such rumors are intended to distort the true image of Iran’s peaceful nuclear program and are circulated by Western countries," Shirzadian said on Sunday.

Shirzadian stressed that Iran has no undeclared nuclear site and Tehran has already declared all of its nuclear sites to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

Iran on Friday categorically denied a claim by the anti-Iran terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) about a clandestine underground atomic site near Tehran.

"We don’t have such a facility, if they have any details they should inform us so that we can thank them," Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Ali Akbar Salehi said on Friday.
The remarks by the Iranian officials came after MKO on Thursday had claimed that it had evidence of a new secret underground atomic site in the country.

The group had said that a facility intended to enrich uranium was deep under a mountain near Qazvin and was about 85 percent complete.

Meantime, Washington said it had known about the facility for years and had no reason to believe it is nuclear.

West plays ‘political game’ on N-program

Press TV, Septembe 17, 2010
Iran’s Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki Iran’s Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki says the country’s "transparent" nuclear program has been dragged into a "political game" by certain countries.

"The Islamic Republic of Iran’s peaceful nuclear activity is one of the most transparent cases in the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)," Mottaki said on Wednesday in a meeting with his Armenian counterpart.

"Unfortunately, such a transparent case has been dragged into the political games of certain countries which always repeat their claims against Iran," Mottaki said in reference to recent remarks made by IAEA chief, Yukiya Amano, on Iran’s nuclear program.

On Monday, Amano said the IAEA was looking into a report by the terrorist Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO), claiming that the agency did not have complete information about the extent of Iran’s nuclear program.

MKO claimed last week that it had evidence of a new secret uranium enrichment site under a mountain near the city of Qazvin — about 120 kilometers west of Tehran — which was about 85 percent complete.

Mottaki said that Iran’s peaceful nuclear program is carried out under the supervision of the IAEA.
"Compared to other IAEA member states, Iran has been the most cooperative with the agency in the past years," the Iranian foreign minister said, adding that at least 29 IAEA reports have confirmed the non-diversion of Tehran’s nuclear program from its peaceful objectives.

Massoud Rajavi

Diabolical Sex Abuse Practiced by MKO Leader, Massoud Rajavi

The recently published testimony of Ms. Batoul Soltani, a former member of the Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) revealed new measures of the group’s manipulation and brainwashing. Because of this, and because of previous reported bizarre practices and abuses, the MKO can be accurately labeled by psychologists as a Closed High Demand Group (CHDG) [1]. Formerly, Ms. Soltani had testified against the MKO in front of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, revealing some of the group’s military operations during the Iran-Iraq War. [2] What she failed to report at that time was the sexual abuse that was imposed on her and many of the other women. Prior to Ms. Batoul Soltani’s escape from the MKO, she was a member of the group’s elite so-called “leadership council” and her new testimony is consistent with reports that Massoud and Maryam Rajavi are the self-appointed leaders of the cult, and that they frequently engaged in abusive practices in order to keep control of the members, especially the females. While abuse by the MKO has previously been documented, Soltani’s recent reports of maltreatment, due to shame and sensitivity, had not been made public. Now, Soltani describes Massoud Rajavi as a deceitful leader who practices a bizarre form of ideological polygamy and frequently engages in “obligatory” sexual activity with many of the women in the cult’s leadership council. In one of her many interviews that have been translated into English and fully documented into over 100 pages on the Sahar Family Foundation Website [3] Soltani describes a scene she witnessed during her time as a member of the cult’s leadership council—these particular excerpts are obtained directly from the Nejat Society’s website:

I was shocked to see some high-ranking women of leadership Council took off their clothes and went to Massoud. Massoud was saying”yes take off your clothes of heresy and ignorance and dive in the pool to unite yourself with me in order to be resistant enough in every moment of your struggle.”[…]

Maryam also said,”Get close to Massoud and unite with him.”I noticed that Maryam and some other high ranking members were monitoring us and trying to convince those of us who hesitated to remove their underwear.[…] Maryam said that we were no more jealous to each other so we could fight together.[…]she tried to persuade us to look at the others having sex with Massoud Rajavi. [4]

Peculiar coercive sexual practices and polygamy in cults is not unusual. Cult leaders tend to claim they are more spiritually evolved than the rest of the population and therefore they aggressively press cult members to worship them. For some cult leaders, especially male leaders, requiring female members to have sex with them is basically part of that worship, which in turn is meant to create complete devotion—and often it does. But the repercussions are steep; Soltani outlines that there is a total loss of self. Steven Hassan who authored the bestselling book *Combating Cult Mind Control* writes on his website that”unselfishness, kindness, gentleness and compassion should be a basic living principle, not just an ideal. When individuals claim to be spiritually more developed, and put themselves in the role of guru, swami, master, prophet these virtues must be consistently demonstrated. We must not allow our desire to know the ‘Absolute Truth’ to blind us from observing obvious discrepancies in our teachers’ behaviors.”[5]

As a victim, Soltani has a unique perspective. She revealed that under this pretext of “unification with the leader,” the women are told to revere him—and that he is the only source of truth in their lives—then they are exploited sexually. Arnold Markowitz who is a cult expert asserts that members or disciples are often vulnerable and sexual abuse in cults by leaders is rampant. According to him,”a group constitutes a destructive cult when it has a self-appointed, charismatic leader who controls the daily lives of members.”[6] For the females of the MKO, Massoud Rajavi is that charismatic leader, and they are actually able to undergo total submission, even sexual submission, because according to Soltani, their daily lives are tightly controlled, both physically and psychologically. In essence Rajavi’s victims are comprehensively brainwashed. Besides Soltani’s testimony, many sources confirm that Massoud Rajavi became the captivating leader of MKO after he launched his ideological revolution in the mid 1980’s. At that time, he forced couples to divorce under the pretense of freeing themselves so that they could focus all their love, energy, and emotions on Rajavi the Ideological Leader. [7]

Soltani reports that nobody in the isolated, dominated and filtered atmosphere of the group is allowed to or even dares to question or show concern about Rajavi’s illicit behavior—the women are simply too vulnerable, and Rajavi wants to keep them that way.

The MKO is just one of many cults to use techniques which include the sexual exploitation of women. There are hundreds of documented cults which include polygamy or require deviant sexual acts—all in order to maintain their system of mind control. [8] Many of these cults’ leaders have been convicted. In 2005, William Kamm, was found guilty on five charges in a New South Wales District Court. Kamm was also known to his followers as “Little Pebble” and he led the Order of St. Charbel, an Australian Christian cult.

His offences include aggravated indecent assault and aggravated sexual intercourse with a 14 year old girl. His practices are similar to the “marriages” Rajavi imposed on the women of the MKO’s leadership council. And while Kamm chose twelve queens and seventy-two princess to become his mystical wives, [9] Rajavi used verses from the Quran to make his followers believe that his compulsory marriages were justifiable. Until recently, the MKO however, has not been illustriously known for systematic sexual coercion because media coverage of its military activity and its politically charged thunderous tirade against the leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran has overshadowed its rather secretive internal core.

For now, three thousand people reside behind the fences of the isolated MKO compound—Camp Ashraf—in Iraq, and many of them are women. According to Batoul Soltani, there are some hundreds women with the leadership council rank—many or all of whom in some way or another are being subject to form a diabolical union with the leader, Massoud Rajavi.

furnari_leona_bornraised
Furnari states that According to Tobias and Lalich
(1994, p.13) the
following characteristics are often present in these environments:
Members are expected to be excessively zealous and
unquestioning in their commitment to the identity and
leadership of the group. Personal beliefs and
values must be replaced with those of the group.
Members are manipulated and exploited and
may give up their education,careers,
and families to work excessively long hours
at group-directed tasks such as selling a quota
of candy or books, fund-raising, recruiting, and proselytizing.
Harm or threat of harm may come to members,
their families and/or society due to inadequate medical care,
poor nutrition, psychological, physical, or
sexual abuse, sleep deprivation, criminal activities, etc.
Furthermore, Margaret Singer and Janja Lalich (1995),
who have done vast amounts of work in the cult field,
state that such groups have the following
characteristics:
Authoritarian power structure
Totalitarian control of members’ behavior
Double sets of ethics (one for leader and
another for members; one for
those inside the group, another for outsiders)
Leaders that are self-appointed and
claim to have a special mission in life
Leaders who tend to be charismatic,
determined and domineering
Leaders who center the veneration
of members upon themselves
Finally, Robert Jay Lifton (1961),
a psychiatrist and pioneering researcher
in the thought reform, or mind control, field,
has proposed that the following eight
features create environments of “ideological totalism”:
1. Milieu control—the control of communication
within an environment;this creates unhealthy boundaries
2. Mystical manipulation or
“planned spontaneity”—experiences which
appear to be spontaneous are actually
orchestrated in order to demonstrate
“divine authority,” which enables the leader(s)
to use any means toward a “higher end” or goal
3. The demand for purity—absolute separation
of good and evil within self and environment
4. The cult of confession—one-on-one
or group confession of past and present “sins”
or behaviors, which are often used to humiliate
the confessor and create dependency upon the leader
5. Sacred science—the group’s teaching is
portrayed as Ultimate Truth that cannot be questioned.
6. Loading of the language—use of terms
or jargon that have group-specific meaning,
phrases that will keep one in or bring one back into
the cult mindset.
7. Doctrine over person—denial of self and self-perception.
8. Dispensing of existence—anyone not in the group or
not embracing the “truth” is insignificant,
not “saved” or “unconscious”; the outside world
and members who leave the group are rejected.

Former members of the MEK

Mr. Einakian;another MKO Cult defector escaped Camp Ashraf

Mr. Alireza Einakian who spent 25 years in Rajavi’s cult could manage to escape Camp Ashraf at 1:00 a.m. on September 7th 2010. He then submitted himself to Iraqi forces.

Mr. Einakian immediately asked Iraqi forces to take him to the gates of Camp where the families of Ashraf residents were on strike but they refused to do so. They just informed the families the next morning.

According to what Mr. Einakian reported about the situation inside Camp Ashraf, the members have to travel in the camp in groups of about fifteen in which several high-ranking members are supposed to supervise others. Most of cleaning works of the Camp’s surroundings are done by the commandants and high officials because they are more reliable. Those who are in doubt of escaping from the camp are seriously controlled. If they cast doubt on someone, they will subject him /her to numerous manipulation meetings, imposing too much psychological pressure on him/her.

The members are told that if they escape from the Camp, Iraqi forces will turn them back to the cult where severe punishments will wait for them. About those who have previously fled the Camp, the members are told that they have been transferred to another part of the Camp.

At the present time, families’ loudspeakers by which they denounce the violation of basic human right in MKO are the main trouble the cult is facing. The authorities of the Camp do efforts to keep the residents far from those loudspeakers or they make noises to tamper their voice. Apparently the recent facts revealed by Ms. Batould Soltani on Massoud Rajavi’s immoral treatments and the so-called salvation dance have caused hesitation among Ashraf residents.

State Department amused by MKO so called Revelations

STATE DEPARTMENT REGULAR BRIEFING BRIEFER: MARK TONER, DIRECTOR, STATE DEPARTMENT PRESS OFFICE ( Part 2-final )

Q This group has been one of the sources of previous intelligence on the same subject?

MR. TONER: I’m sorry, is that a question?

Q With the — with the Iranian nuclear site — MR. TONER: I believe they’ve made claims in the past, yes.
But I’m not — Q Have they provided you — the State Department, the U.S. administration — with any
— MR. TONER: Not that I’m aware. I can’t say a yes or no. I don’t know.
Go ahead.

Q They have asked that the secretary of State remove the blacklisting of Iran’s main opposition, the People’s Mujaheddin Organization of Iran. Any plans to do that?

MR. TONER: This is the MEK? Q Correct.

MR. TONER: The so-called MEK? I believe they’re still deemed a foreign terrorist organization. No plans that I’m aware of to change that.

Q Okay.

MR. TONER: Go ahead, in the back.

Q Different topic. Yesterday at CFR, Secretary Clinton said, "We reaffirm our bonds with close allies like South Korea, Japan and Australia," and some Japanese media is taking this wording a little bit seriously. Before, in the past, it’s been said "Japan, South Korea, Australia," so we’re wondering if the switching in terminology has any effect on — is there a change in policy?

MR. TONER: (Laughs.) I think I can state pretty unequivocally that there’s no change in policy. We love them all.

Q Thank you. (Laughs, laughter.) MR. TONER: Anything else?
That’s it? Great.
Nobody will say thank you?

Q All right. (Laughter.) MR. TONER: Great

Mujahedin Khalq Organization's Propaganda System

U.S. Official Casts Doubt On Iran Opposition Group’s Nuclear Claim

Alireza Jafarzadeh, the president of Strategic Policy Consulting, points to a monitor reportedly showing tunnels to a nuclear site during a press conference to present information on Iran’s new "major secret" nuclear site, Washington, D.C., on September 9 September 10, 2010

News agencies have quoted a U.S. official as casting doubt on claims by Iranian opposition members that their contacts have discovered a new secret nuclear site in Iran.

Alireza Jafarzadeh, a spokesman for the dissidents, told a press conference on September 9 in Washington that the site was intended as a facility to enrich uranium and was located underground in mountains about 120 kilometers west of the Iranian capital, Tehran.

Jafarzadeh described the facility as part a secret Iranian nuclear weapons program.

The information about the site is reported to have come from sources inside Iran affiliated with the exiled opposition groups the National Council of Resistance of Iran and the People’s Mujahedin Organization of Iran, which is considered a terrorist group by the U.S. government.
News agencies quoted a U.S. official as saying the U.S. had known about the facility for years and had no reason at the current time to believe it was being used for nuclear purposes.

The United States has led efforts to impose UN sanctions against Iran over the Islamic republic’s refusal to halt uranium-enrichment work, which could be diverted toward an atomic weapon.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization's Propaganda System

Official ridicules MKO terrorists claim of new nuclear facility in Iran

The director of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran dismissed a claim by the Mojahedin Khalq Organization that Iran is building a new nuclear enrichment facility near the city of Qazvin. Official ridicules MKO terrorists claim of new nuclear facility in Iran

“In Iran there is no nuclear facility with its own specific definition which has not been declared to the agency (the International Atomic energy Agency),” Ali Akbar Salehi told the Mehr News Agency.

Mocking the MKO for such naïve reports, he said, “If they have news of such a thing they can inform.”

MEK Camp Ashraf

Mojahedin Khalq holds penitent members hostage

The terrorist group Mojahedin Khalq Organization bars its penitent members from leaving the organization and joining their families, an Iranian envoy says.

There are some "remorseful Mojahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) members [at Iraq’s] Camp Ashraf who wish to join their families but are prevented from leaving the camp by the group’s leaders," Iranian ambassador to Baghdad, Hassan Danaei-far, told Mehr news agency on Wednesday.

He also made a reference to the "frequent" reports on infighting at the camp over such issues and said, "We hope the incoming [Iraqi] government applies more pressure [on the terror group] and helps reunite youth with their families and hands the criminals over to the judiciaries."

The Iraq-based MKO is listed as a terrorist group by much of the international community.
Founded in the 1960s, the MKO has masterminded terrorist operations in Iran and Iraq, killing thousands of people and wounding many more.

The group is especially notorious in Iran for having sided with former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein during the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war.

Following the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq, US troops disarmed the MKO terrorists at Iraq’s Camp Ashraf, where they were based, and surrounded it until Iraqi forces took over responsibility for the camp in 2009.

The Public Prosecutor of the Iraqi High Tribunal, Jaafar al-Mousawi, stated in mid-August that investigations have also incriminated MKO members in playing a leading role in the killings of Iraqi civilians.

Mousawi further commented that the terrorist group had supported Saddam Hussein’s Baath regime, aiding in the suppression of the Iraqi people’s uprising in 1991 and the torture and massacre of innocent people in the northern and southern regions of the country.
