Open letter to the Minister of Justice, Ms. Michèle Alliot-Marie

Paris, June 17, 2010 Ms. Michèle Alliot-Marie, Minister of Justice

Ms. Michèle Alliot-Marie, Minister of Justice

Dear Ms. Alliot-Marie,
We are victims of violations of human rights in the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI). This cult organization is headed by Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, who currently resides at Auvers-sur-Oise in France.

We, the victims of the PMOI, were able to escape from Camp Ashraf, where we were prisoners for years, and today we are living in freely in Europe and have already filed a complaint against Mrs. Rajavi in various Western courts.

We thank Mr. Bernard Kouchner, the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, who has always stressed that the People’s Mojahedin organization is a terrorist organization in which human rights are violated and which is a personality cult.

Taking into account the self immolations, carried out on the streets of France on 17 June 2003 by members of the PMOI in order to intimidate the French judiciary after the arrest of Maryam Rajavi, and collaboration of the cult with Saddam Hussein, the dictator of Iraq who left the trace of several crimes in Iraq and Iran and, the terrorist operations admitted by the PMOI inside Iran and the long wait of the families of the Camp Ashraf residents for several months behind the closed doors of the camp, and the obligation to monitor constantly the organization in order to prevent the repetition of terrorist acts, please review our complaints and resume the trial of Mrs. Maryam Rajavi which will reveal the hidden side of this group and crimes committed against the interests of the Iranian people.

We want above all to, if we can, to help the youth of our country to understand the nature of the PMOI.

Thank you for consideration of this our plea.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization members' families

Iranians in Iraq’s Diyala call for release of relatives held in MKO Camp Ashraf

Text of report by Lebanese Al-Manar TV

[Video report by Adel al-Fayyad]
Families of Iranians detained in Ashraf Camp of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization [MKO] have staged a sit-in in the Iraqi governorate of Diyala. The protesters called on the Iraqi government and the international community to free their relatives from the hell they are living in.

[Begin recording]
[Al-Fayyad] Dozens of Iranian families staged a sit-in in front of the Ashraf Camp in Diyala Governorate to protest being denied the chance to meet their family members who are detained by the MKO. The families waiting at the entrance of the camp called on the Iraqi government and humanitarian organizations to help them meet their family members in an atmosphere free from surveillance, eavesdropping, and interference by the MKO members.

[Zumurruda Amini, mother of a detainee, speaking in Persian with voice-over translation into Arabic] I have a son detained in the camp; his name is Ghulam Rida. I have not seen him in years. I have waited a long time to see him, but it has been in vain. Help me to see him.

[Al-Fayyad] These families live in difficult humanitarian conditions as their elderly men were scorched in the heat of the sun and the mothers were shedding tears for longing to meet their children. Other families carried photos of their sons and banners that condemn the repressive practices of the MKO leaderships, and they called on the international community to help their children out of what they described as MKO’s hell.

[Qudurat Sadiqi, father of a detainee, speaking in Persian with voice-over translation into Arabic] I am tired of making appeals. I have endured the hardships of the journey to meet my son, but this criminal organization has stopped me from seeing him.

[Zahrah K’abi, from the residents of the Ahvaz] My son was 25 years old when he left home one day to Abadan to bring the car and he never returned. Two years later, my daughter, who was a doctor, was in contact with him and she left home. Later we found a note in one of her books bidding us farewell and saying that she is going to join her brother.

[Al-Fayyad] Tribal leaders in Diyala Governorate stood by their brothers to deal with this tragedy and called on the Iraqi Government to expel the organization, which they described as terrorist.

[Muhammad Jasim, one of the tribal leaders of Tamim Tribe in Diyala Governorate] We must urge the Iraqi government, the new parliament, and the UN Security Council, the non-aligned countries and the Arab League to drive the MKO out of our country. They are occupying our lands. The MKO is a cancerous cell in our country. We are have been hurt by it.

[Al-Fayyad] Some of the families who came from the Islamic Republic of Iran to see their children but did not succeed in doing so said that the Iraqi government must take appropriate action to pressure the MKO, which has violated human rights and international charters by detaining their children for many years. Adil al-Fayyad is reporting for Al-Manar Channel from Ashraf Camp in Diyala Governorate

Mujahedin Khalq Organization

Why Mojahedin Khalq welcomes new sanctions against Iran?

To show the delighted for the new Security Council resolution against Iran, Maryam Rajavi in a statement that was released by the National Council of Resistance expressed joy and satisfaction and welcomed the move and the imposition of new sanctions by the US and the European Union. She expressed the hope that these sanctions would improve to a comprehensive technological, diplomatic and oil embargoes against the Iranian regime and emphasized that the international community should press Iran by imposing serious to give up. NCR statement quoted Maryam Rajavi in this regard saying: "The only working approach to deal with this regime is an all-assertive decisiveness. A policy that on the one hand involves comprehensive arms, technological, diplomatic and oil embargo against the regime and on the other hand, implies the recognition for the removal of restrictions against the Iranian Resistance".

In this connection, the official site of MKO while releasing this news, appreciated Hillary Clinton’s quote that the antagonistic attitude of Turkey and Brazil had no effect on the adoption of new sanctions against Iran by the Security Council and referred to the decision as a step towards the global peace. Maryam Rajavi and her propaganda machine have previously and repeatedly emphasized the need for imposing comprehensive sanctions against Iran and have celebrated the decisions completely forgetting that the sanctions are imposed against the Iranian people rather than being punitive measures that more serve to ensure the preservation of the US and Western countries’ interests.

Shrewd opportunist as MKO is, it is always waiting for troubled waters to fish. In this case of welcoming impose of sanctions on Iran, Maryam Rajavi demands her reward and immediately asks the international community to recognize her organization as a symbol of resistance and its removal of restrictions against it. It seems that she is making a deal for her own interest as well, caring not the least neither for the interests of the imposers nor the imposed. However, she is more addressing the US since Americans, as the most influential member of the international community and the Security Council, continue to recognize MKO both as a terrorist group and a cult. Furthermore, despite the tacit support of MKO in Iraq, it has granted the right of tackling with the problem of MKO to the legitimate government of Iraq. MKO, after losing all-round support of Saddam, directed all its efforts to win the support of America and the West, but despite all made attempts to satisfy them, it is still viewed as a violence-oriented, terrorist, ideologically dogmatic, anti-democratic, sectarian, and untrustable organization without the least recognized legitimacy and popularity among the Iranian people.

Although it is removed from some European lists of terror, the move is much rooted in their uncompromising political attitudes against Iranian regime rather than recognizing a terrorist group they themselves have a deeper understanding of its nature. The evidence is a multitude of published reports by state-run research organizations and institutes that recognize MKO responsible for sporadic bombings, assassinations, violence, unrest and anarchy after the 1979 revolution in Iran. Although at the present enjoying the support of the Hawks, the official positions of the US officials and particularly the Congress and the State Department do not confirm that of a supporter and still recognizes MKO as a terrorist group. Maryam Rajavi calls any investment in Iranian regime counter to democracy and human rights, but the West and the US are well aware that more absurd is to have the slightest investment, at least before the eyes of the public, in a terrorist cult that has the least respect neither for the democracy nor for human rights.

Statement of the gathering in Paris

Statement of the gathering in Paris in support of the families of the victims of Rajavi cult in Camp Ashraf Iraq

With faith in the generosity of people, with the aim of rejecting all kinds of violence, terrorism and Statement of the gathering in Paris in support of the families of the victims of Rajavi cult in Camp Ashraf Iraq cultish behaviours and with the aim of helping the families of the victims of Rajavi cult in Camp Ashraf – Iraq, more than 200 human rights activities are participating in this gathering on the 19th of June 2010 in Paris.

No doubt, in the present circumstances, Iranian society inside and outside the country is in need of peace and awareness more than ever. We see it as our duty to create an atmosphere in which these could be achieved and therefore we reject all kinds of violent ideologies as well as all kinds of cultish beliefs. We believe that dialogue and interaction between different ideas could and should be the way forward. The people gathered here include human rights groups and activists, experts in cults and anti terrorism, as well as families of the victims who have joined us in this gathering.

As the majority of the participants in this gathering are ex members of Mojahedin Khalq Organisation, the following statement is designed to be the focal point for the future co-operation between the signatories as well.

1- We believe that the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation led by Mr. Massoud Rajavi and Mrs. Maryam Rajavi during the past three decades with their insistence on the two parameters of Ideology and Military, have changed the organisation in to a religious-terrorist cult. The brainwashing of the members is aimed at diminishing any resistance to the lifetime leadership of Rajavi and his wife Maryam. The leader of the cult was engaged in mercenary work for Saddam Hussein, the former dictator of Iraq, and in return Saddam allowed the leadership and members of Mojahedin Khalq to be transferred to Iraq where the leadership had all the tools needed to suppress the critics in the known atmosphere of Saddam’s era. Massoud Rajavi and Maryam Rajavi tortured their critics in solitary confinement and if this would not lead to the desired result and the resistance against them persisted, then in co-operation with the Secret Services of Saddam’s regime they would send their victims to the prisons of Iraq, one of which was the infamous Abu Ghraib prison, from where ten surviving inmates (ex MKO members) are available here to testify in any international court.

2- Massoud and Maryam Rajavi, in order to deceive and legitimise their activities and to garner support for the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation, portray themselves s the only democratic alternative to the Iranian regime. This is an organisation which, according to an overwhelming number of European diplomats working in Iran, enjoys no support among the people inside Iran. We ask all international policy makers and politicians and governments not to use such terrorists as Massoud and Maryam Rajavi as tools for short term benefits. This is no more than giving ransom to terrorists when practically all the people of Iran have complaints against them.

3- We the supporters and signatories to this statement warn that after the fall of Saddam Hussein, the leaders and high ranking members of the Mojahedin Khalq have escaped to European countries, taking with them whatever money and documents were given to them by the fallen regime before its collapse. They are using known faces in European parliaments as lobbyists to whitewash their history of terrorism and long-lasting cooperation with Saddam’s dictatorship, and either reject the abundant documents available or to try to legitimise them with excuses. The ideological, organisational, financial and military relation between the MEK and the Baath Party of Saddam is not a secret. Films and documents of the joint criminal activities of Rajavi and Saddam are available and presentable to any court.

4- We announce our support for the French government’s correct move on 17th June 2003 that resulted in the arrest of Maryam Rajavi and over 160 high ranking members of this terrorist cult. We also denounce and deplore the order by the leadership of the cult which ended in self-immolation of some cult members in the streets of Paris in June 2003. We thank the foreign minister of France Mr. Kouchner for his stance against terrorism and announcing this group to be a terrorist group. We ask the French Judiciary to expedite consideration of the complaint files filed by the victims of the Mojahedin Khalq against the leaders of the cult

5- We support the Iraqi government in its attempt to remove the Mojahedin Khalq forces from their country and deplore the various plots of the MEK leadership to prevent the Iraqi government from carrying out its responsibilities; plots which have already resulted in the death of some members. The responsibility for the outcome of such plots, which aim to prevent the transfer of members to wherever they want to go, is solely on the shoulders of the leaders of the cult.

6- Maryam Rajavi who resides in Auvers-sur-Oise in France is working on the concept of keeping the structure of the terrorist cult intact if and when the Iraqi government does remove the MEK forces from Iraq. She wants to have the whole organisation transferred intact to one of the European countries, most probably France or one of the Scandinavian countries. She is planning to re-start her terrorist activities from this new HQ in the heart of Europe. We, the participants of this seminar warn that the presence of the Mojahedin Khalq terrorist organisation is a serious threat to the safety of the people in European countries.

7- The participants in this seminar believe that many victims of Rajavi cult in Ashraf camp once they are freed will need psychological care and attention as they have been exposed to very long term psychological manipulation. For this reason we ask the ICRC, UNHCR, Médecins Sans Frontières, etc to visit and interview every one of the captives separately and evaluate their situation and needs.

8- We condemn the continuous harassment, character assassination and physical attacks carried out by the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation on the direct order of Massoud and Maryam Rajavi in Europe against ex members and critics of the cult as well as Iranians abroad who ask simple questions from the leadership of this organisation.

9- We believe that political and social struggle can not and should not undermine humanitarian feelings and family bonds. Therefore we ask the Mojahedin Khalq leaders to respect these feelings and let the families of those captive in Camp Ashraf visit their loved ones without the presence and harassment of cult leaders. We also call on these leaders to cancel the order of ‘no marriage’ inside the Mojahedin Khalq immediately.

10- Concerning the above paragraph, we ask the governments of Iraq, the US and European governments to become more active concerning the situation of the people trapped in Camp Ashraf by the Mojahedin Khalq leaders; to take more responsibility and act to secure the minimum of human rights, including the right of family visits, right to access to news and media and the right of choosing their future.

At the end we announce to the families of the victims picketing in front of camp Ashraf who have been trying to visit their loved ones for the last four months:

1- Your loved ones are our brothers and sisters. We have suffered alongside these people for years and surely we will stand with you until the day that they are released.

2- We assure you that all the interviews and whatever you hear from them on tapes are made under direct pressure of the organisation and we assure you that their hearts beat for you and that it is only your unconditional family love that can overcome the effects of these pressures.

3- We will do our best to bring your voice to the attention of international society and we adore your resilience and patience.

4- We are as aware as you are about the threats posed to the residents of camp Ashraf. We are afraid of what may possibly happen and will try our best to prevent it by bringing it to the attention of the outside world. We also ask you to neutralise these treats by your presence and vigilance.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization members' families

Letter to the Director General of the ICRC (182 signatories)

Director General, Mr. Angelo Gnaedinger,

International Committee of the Red Cross
We are the signatories to the statement of the seminar in “support for the families of victims of the Rajavi cult in Camp Ashraf, Iraq” which took place on the 19th of June 2010 in Paris.
19 avenue de la Paix
CH 1202 Geneva

Dear Mr Gnaedinger,
We are the signatories to the statement of the seminar in “support for the families of victims of the Rajavi cult in Camp Ashraf, Iraq” which took place on the 19th of June 2010 in Paris.
Our aim is to put pressure on the leaders of the Rajavi cult (Mojahedin Khalq Organisation) to allow visits between the captives in camp Ashraf and their families, as one of the most basic human rights for any captive person.

These families, after years not being able to travel to Iraq and years of uncertainty about the fate of their children, now have had the chance to travel to post-Saddam Iraq in order to discover the situation of their loved ones held captive in Ashraf garrison. It is now over 4 months that they have been picketing outside the gates of the camp in the harsh conditions of the desert, without much in the way of facilities, hoping to visit their loved ones.

Although the right to have visitors is one of the accepted rights for any prisoner, it is unfortunate that the leaders of the Rajavi cult block any attempt at reunion and meeting between these captives and their old and tired mothers and fathers. They have announced, in their own cult jargon language, that any contact with family members is considered as a sin.
It is with regret that we must announce that the situation is so bad that after four and a half months of picketing not only has the aim of meeting their loved ones not been achieved, but the leaders of the Mojahedin Khalq have constantly harassed these parents using abusive and threatening language against them. On some occasions, physical attacks on the families have also been reported.

Dear Sir,
Documents and evidence of the violent history of abuse of human rights by the cult of Rajavi (Mojahedin Khalq) clearly shows that during the past two decades, the leaders of the cult have forbidden any kind of affection or love between family members and have considered it as a sin and a punishable crime. The cult members are expected to only show affection and love to the leader solely.

Rajavi, using the opportunity provided by the fallen dictator of Iraq, Saddam Hussein, has used the past two decades to create an atmosphere inside camp New Iraq (formerly Ashraf) in which any marriage, friendship, writing letters, exchanging photos, using telephone, meeting and chatting or any relation between parents and children or between siblings or other relatives has been forbidden and even thinking about it would have resulted in severe, violent punishment and suppression.

We call on all international bodies as well as all relevant governments. We ask specifically from your good self to intervene in a purely humanitarian role and convince the leaders of Mojahedin Khalq to allow free visits between the families and their children outside the walls of camp Ashraf in the presence of representatives of the ICRC and put an end to this hardship and misery.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

Who are the terrorists?

As Mujahedin-e-Khalq’s propaganda campaigns and lobbies in the United States government make efforts to gain American politicmen’s support in order to remove the name of their notorious organization from the list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO) of Department of State, Keneth Timmerman ,a contributing editor for Newsmax Media wrote an article "Timmerman: who are the terrorists?" on The Washington Times enlightening his fellowmen on terrorist nature of Mujahedin Khalq, Timmerman suggests that MEK should never be removed from the FTO list ,accusing MEK of committing terrorist activities against American military personnel and Iranian civilians. While Timmerman presents evidences on MEK’s terrorist nature, he believes that MEK is a more dangerous group than PJAK, another terrorist designated Iranian opposition.
Here is an extract of Timmerman’s article:

TIMMERMAN: Who are the terrorists?

By Kenneth R. Timmerman – Washington Times – Tuesday, June 22, 2010

PJAK is a danger only to the Islamic regime
A bipartisan group of House members last week unveiled a resolution in support of the Iranian TIMMERMAN: Who are the terrorists? "resistance," a code word for an opposition group known as the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) that has been on the State Department’s list of international terrorist organizations since its inception in the late 1980s.

The MEK has a long record of carrying out violent attacks inside Iran. During the period leading up to the 1979 revolution, the group proudly murdered U.S. military officers and civilians working in Iran. And while the group’s current leadership and its apologists claim that those attacks were carried out by a splinter group no longer associated with the MEK, eyewitnesses tell me that the MEK continued to celebrate the anniversary of those murders in ceremonies and song in their training camps inside Iraq all through the 1980s.

In the power struggle that followed the 1979 revolution, the MEK actively promoted the seizure of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and planted a bomb that wiped out the leadership of the Islamic Republican Party led by Ayatollah Mohammad Beheshti, arguably the last of the "moderate" leaders of the revolution.

More recently, MEK operatives inside Iran have carried out hit-and-run terrorist attacks on regime officials and have planted bombs in urban areas that have randomly killed civilians. The MEK and its supporters call these attacks acts of "resistance" against the regime.

Senior State Department officials have stated that their condemnation of the MEK’s use of random violence against civilians stems from a desire not to use a "double standard" when it comes to terrorism. The MEK and its supporters claim that keeping the MEK on the State Department’s list of international terrorist organizations benefits the Iranian regime. Some even argue, incorrectly, that the group was placed on the list in 1994 by the Clinton administration as a sop to the regime. (While the Clinton folks kept the MEK on the list in hopes it would encourage a rapprochement with Tehran, the MEK was placed on the list years earlier).

Contrast the MEK’s record of random violence against civilians with the use of violence by the Free Life Party of Iranian Kurdistan, PJAK, a group that was designated by the Treasury Department as a terrorist organization in February 2009.

PJAK guerrillas operate inside Iran in trained groups. Their primary mission is political: That is, they seek to spread a message that Iranian Kurds must abandon tribalism and traditional politics if they want to aspire to democratic self-governance.

Indeed, at PJAK camps I visited in northern Iraq in October 2007, the emphasis was on the political indoctrination of new members, not military training. PJAK prides itself on its inclusiveness: More than 30 percent of its guerrilla fighters and leadership are women.

PJAK makes no bones about its use of violence. Indeed, a Google search of the terms "PJAK attack" results in dozens of incidents in which PJAK guerrillas have attacked Iranian military targets and bases inside Iran. Almost all of these attacks have targeted the Revolutionary Guard Corps.

But PJAK uses violence in defense of the Kurdish population, not as an instrument of terror against civilians. In contrast to the MEK, PJAK has never planted bombs in public areas or targeted regime officials for assassination.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization members' families

Second report on 19th June families’ gathering

Second report on the 19th June 2010 gathering of the families outside Ashraf garrison

As you were informed previously, some chiefs of tribes as well as officials of Diyala province in Iraq participated in the gathering of the families outside Ashraf garrison and delivered speeches for them. These people went there with the intention of trying to pursue the leaders of Rajavi cult to let the families visit their loved ones, but their attempt failed like the earlier ones and they even faced insults and horrific behavior from the elements of the cult.

if even one person is forced to stay in this confinement garrison against his or her will, we would not leave this place

When the chiefs and officials directly learned about the rules and regulations inside Rajavi cult told by the freed members, they were astonished and described them totally in contradiction with Islamic codes and social norms. They admitted that they did know about the collapse of morals in that cult to this extent.

some chiefs of tribes as well as officials of Diyala province in Iraq participated in the gathering of the families outside Ashraf garrison and delivered speeches for them

They invited the families to travel to the centre of province (city of Baquba) and speak in the gathering of officials and chiefs of the province and also they announced that they are prepared to set an exhibition for the people of the province to let them know more about the nature of MKO.
Describing about topics such as compulsory divorces, weekly immoral sessions, the view of the cult about family, free thinking, friendship with other members and so on inside the cult amazed them and the reporters present in the gathering. Chiefs of tribes of the province of Diyala called such relationships inhuman and disgusting.

In this regards the Iraqi paper Badr wrote on 20th June 2010 quoting the deputy governor of the city of Khalis (the city near to the Ashraf garrison): “a delegation from the local authorities and tribe personalities went to the Ahraf camp to persuade the leaders of MKO to let the families to visit their relatives on humanitarian grounds, but their attempt failed exactly like the previous ones”.

During this gathering formed outside Ashraf camp, the leaders of the cult brought a few mind manipulated elements to insult and threaten the families. This action well exposed the nature and the situation of Rajavi cult.

Also in a telephone contact between the gathered people and the conference in Paris, Ms Abdullahi and Mr. Akbarzadeh described the situation on behalf of the families. In this conversation which was simultaneously broadcasted for the Paris conference as well as the gathering outside Ashraf camp, Ms Batul Soltani, former member of the MKO leadership council, said in Paris: “your action made us to move more jointly and you all must be sure that we would not rest a moment until we fulfill your demands”.

Ms Abdullahi said: “if even one person is forced to stay in this confinement garrison against his or her will, we would not leave this place. It is nearly 5 months that we are sitting in this place and everyday we learn more about the wicked character of Rajavi cult. We are not afraid of the threats made by the leaders of the cult. Today many reporters and a number of local chiefs and officials are our guests (at this moment the participants in Paris conference applaud)”.

Mr. Iman Yeganeh who has recently been freed from the captivity of the cult talked to the reporters gathered around him and explained about the internal relationship and physical and psychological situation of the members and revealed many facts for them.

The news of the mentioned gathering was covered by many Iraqi and international news agencies, radios, televisions, and newspapers.

The MEK and Jundullah

MKO and the execution of a terrorist ringleader

When Abdolhamid Rigi, the brother of Abdolmalek Rigi the leader of Jundallah terrorist group, was executed MKO media covered the news of his execution with details and analyses, and criticism. However, since Iran announced on Sunday that it had executed the ringleader of the Pakistan-based Jundallah terrorist group, Abdolmalek Rigi, MKO has taken no clear position and only in a brief one-line news announced his execution.
The MKO as well as its official sites and media would support Rigi openly and called him the leader of a democratic movement, while he US and England from the very first day of his arrest denied any cooperation with Rigi despite his confessions of receiving their support. Even before Rigi’s arrest, the heads of his group were reported to have met some heads and commanders of MKO in an area in Pakistan to talk about the details of their mutual cooperation under the title of ‘the Armed Forces Organization of Mojahedin’.
MKO is well aware of the costs it has to pay for its relation with an indisputable terrorist group whose ringleader has already confessed having ties with. However, keeping silent over the execution of Rigi is the best approach taken by the organization to escape charges of glorifying terrorism.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization members' families

Families’ picket in front of Camp Ashraf continues

Today’s Coverage from Iraqi media

A group of Iranian families have been picketing in front of Camp New Iraq (formerly Ashraf) demanding access to their children who have been kept inside.
The organisers of this picket say that there are a large number of their children inside the camp but the leaders of the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation do not let them meet their families. The families emphasised that they have no choice except to sit in front of the gates of the camp until they are given access to their loved ones.
They are also asking all international humanitarian organisations as well as the United Nations office to engage [with the problem] and provide them with access to their children.

Al Mashregh, June 21, 2010
The Iraqi Ambassador in Tehran announced that Iraq will not let anyone use its soil to attack neighbouring countries. Press TV reported Mohammad Majid Al Sheikh as saying: “Iraq will not allow the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation, or any other armed group, use its soil to carry out attacks against Iran”. Iraqi authorities have repeatedly demanded that the members of this organisation leave Camp Ashraf and Iraqi territory. The problem is, no other country in the world is willing to accept them”.

Addustour, June 21, 2010
The Iraqi government rejected allegations that it has decided to attack Camp Ashraf. An official said that: “The Government of Iraq is serious and working towards expelling the Mojahedin Khalq from the country, but fighting in not a solution. We will resolve this problem through peaceful means. The future Government of Iraq has the responsibility of ending the presence of this group in Iraq. During its presence [in Iraq] this organisation has been deeply involved in security issues and has been a helping hand to the late regime in suppressing the people of Iraq.

Bader, June 21, 2010
Political and social personalities and heads of Iraqi tribes condemned the Mojahedin Khalq Terrorist group’s blockage of meetings between the members and their families. The head of Khalis province said: “A delegation of local officials and tribal personalities have travelled to the camp in order to put pressure on the leaders of the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation to let families reunite with their children on companionate and humanitarian grounds but it is unfortunate that this initiative as many previous ones failed”.

The Ideology of the MEK

MKO Armed Warfare, an Ideological Necessity

Mojahedin-e Khalq strategy of armed struggle that constitutes its organizational infrastructure from its very formation has now confronted the organization with a new challenge in spite of its widespread propaganda to convince the West it has made revisions. Although the challenge has failed to break the deadlock over Mojahedin’s proceeding with its revolutionary diplomacy in the outside world, the strategy is the main factor that stabilizes the group’s internal relations especially within Camp Ashraf. That is to say, for the outsiders the organization displays the dual policy of abandoning militarism and armed activities; for the insiders it is a strategically unquestionable principle.

That is a contradiction pervading MKO and, of course, the group has not resolved to convince the Westerners to have adopted a different attitude. It seems that MKO gets much advantage out of an equivocal attitude. In many occasions, MKO has admitted the necessity of armed struggle as an ideological necessity that constitutes the violent ontology of MKO. Definitely stated in the State Department’s report presented to Congress on the People’s Mojahedin of Iran in 1994, MKO developed an eclectic ideological blend of Islam and Marxism that dictated both a war of armed struggle and a war of propaganda to achieve political power.

They [Mojahedin] established an organization dedicated to armed struggle. As they explained in a 1974 newspaper article, "We had to ask ourselves the question, "What is to be done?" Our answer was straightforward: ‘Armed Struggle.,"(1) Commitment to this strategic principle has defined the history of the Mojahedin, from the group’s formal establishment in 1965 until today…. The MKO’s embrace of armed struggle flows from the group’s ideology. Its conceptual framework was painstakingly developed through years of study and discourse and aggressively disseminated throughout Tehran.

Being so fervently devoted to a violent strategy, MKO should undergo a complete ideological cleansing before renunciation of terrorism and militarism. But first it has to be investigated that is it possible by any means to change an ideology that institutes infrastructure of an organization?

During the past two decades, majority of MKO’s propaganda and published documents strongly advocate the strategic importance of the adopted tactic of armed warfare following the organization’s first mass movement on 20 June in 1981; the turning point that was broadly being propagated at the time and which was supposed to speed up the inevitable collapse of the regime. In his first series of speeches delivered on the first anniversary of the phase Khordad 30th (20 June 1981), Massoud Rajavi talked about the influential role of MKO’s ideology on the event:

A one-year review of implacable struggle indicates that it is a widespread, organized struggle and resistance matchless in Iranian history. It is not a merely review of political, military, strategic and tactical issues. All of them together, as different organs of body, constitute a cohesive essence that is Mojahedin’s ideology; they all remarkably signify this truth.*

In Rajavi’s analysis of the year-long armed struggle, you come across issues focusing on the inevitability and necessity of armed struggle and violent acts. Rajavi is in no way sceptical about the adopted strategy of armed struggle and is critical of anybody who may oppose the strategy:
All the nonsense woven against the armed struggle during this one year is loathsome and even ludicrous to listen to for those who are in close contact with reality.

In fact, the telling reality Rajavi points out is that armed struggle is the spirit of the organization without which it cannot survive:

In essence, we owe our existence and survival before anything to the widespread armed combat of the Iranian Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization.

There are much more evidences found in MKO’s ideological sources that implicitly and explicitly denounce abandoning the strategy of armed warfare adopted by Mojahedin and consider any made criticism and disapproval as definitely illegitimate. Those who are familiar with the group’s dual nature consider MKO’s claimed renunciation of militarism nothing beyond a tactic of duplicity.

Since MKO’s resort to armed combat and militarism is an internalized ideological principle, its renunciation also needs a similar process of ideological revision. If MKO is standing resolute to abandon terrorism as it claims, at least a review of its previously adopted resolutions will imply the earnestness of its decision. Renunciation of terrorism and militarism, although MKO has refrained to denounce publicly, first needs a through ideological polish, something MKO has dodged to go through at least up to now. MKO should explain how commitment to an ideological necessity can possibly be deserted while the ideology itself remains intact.

*All Rajavi’s quotes are from Mojahedin’s published A one-year review of the armed struggle
