MKO Leaders’ seditious acts condemned

Nejat Society,Western Azarbayjan Branch condemns MKO leaders’ seditious acts

The recent incidents at Camp Ashraf where a number of residents, incited and organized by the cult leaders, confronted the Iraqi Police, ended with the death and injury of some of them. The act once again showed the brutality of Rajavi’s gang in rising crisis and creating constant tension for their propaganda. They never matter the victimization of their rank and file but they only matter how to feed their deceitful propaganda machine as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said about the move of Iraqi Police to Ashraf :"It is a matter now for the government of Iraq to resolve,"

We deeply believe that MKO leaders try to maintain Camp Ashraf as their ideological and strategic container by launching false propaganda and mongering crisis, they violate all international laws based on the right of sovereignty of the nations on their own territory.

We as the ex – members of MKO, who returned to our homeland and now are living in Iran peacefully, condemn MKO leaders’ plot to create crisis and tension by warmongering, terrorism and violation of international laws and finally victimizing Ashraf residents for their own inhumane cause. We know that MKO leaders are terrified by easy access of Iraqi police to their base since it will pave the way for the access of International human rights bodies and also residents’ families to them.
 
The ideological leader of MKO knows well that if their base is supervised by Iraqi officials, the release of captured members will be more likely. Therefore they try in any way to stop Iraqi supervision over the camp to prevent the decline of their forces.

Their anti-democratic acts contradict the most basic human rights.

We want them to stop crisis mongering in Camp Ashraf and provide the residents a peaceful relaxing atmosphere, without any control or supervision by their authorities, so that they can visit their families in mental security and can decide for their future by their own free will.

Iran

Mojahedin neither migrants nor refugees

Underlining that members of MKO terrorist cult in Iraq are never counted as migrants or refugees, Iran’s Ambassador to Iraq said: Even in the era of Saddam in power that MKO served the Iraqi dictator as mercenaries against Iran, they were denied form asylum.

Speaking to IRINN database Hassan Kazemi Qomi referred to the proven evil terrorist nature of MKO group and said: the MKO criminal leaders who are wanted by Interpol and courts of justice should be tried.

He added: MKO terrorists have so far committed numerous anti-human crimes inside and outside Iraq; so the Iraqi government and parliament as well as people of Iraq demand unanimously MKO expulsion from their country.

In response to a question about whether or not MKO has requested the Iraqi government for political asylum, the envoy also said: The Iraqi government will no way grant MKO terrorists political asylum.

Kazemi Qomi asserted: According to the Iraqi constitution, members of terrorist MKO cult can either go to a third country or voluntarily return to Iran under the supervision of the International Committee of the Red Cross; but they won’t be allowed by the Iraqi government to stay in Iraq.

Iranian ambassador to Iraq draw attention to the fact that MKO members in Iraq are never accepted as immigrants or refugees and stated: Even Saddam which used MKO against the Iranian nation refrained from granting them refugee status in Iraq.

Iraqi Authorities' stance on the MEK

MKO terrorists have put Iraq’s security at risk

Ayatollah Hani al-Tamimi: Iraqis have suffered a lot from MKO (Rajavi cult)

Secretary General of Habilian Association said: It’s been more than six years ago that Americans entered Iraq, but the people have not yet been able to see the peace in this country because of lack of security due to the presence of Americans and terrorists in this country.

According to the database of Habilian Association (terror victims family) in a meeting with a group of over 30 tribal leaders, doctors and teachers from the eastern Iraqi province of Diyali Seyyed Mohammad Javad Hashemi Nezhad also stated: Americans invaded Iraq on the pretext of bringing democracy to this country but after such a long time of over six years of their presence in Iraq, Iraqi people still have not seen peace and security
 

Ayatollah Hani al-Tamimi: Iraqis have suffered a lot from MKO

Over a million deaths outcome of America’s presence in Iraq

He expressed that: After the occupation of Iraq, Americans called themselves the security trustee in this country, but this presence has so far resulted in the killing of more than one million Iraqis. Now the question is that aren’t Americans really able to establish security in Iraq?

He also added: "Obviously a country like America that has a high capability could well react against terrorist threats in Iraq and return security to this country but the American officials preferred to link all the problems in Iraq to Iran, but the Iraqi people and government never accepted such a lie.

Hashemi Nezhad continued: Americans are well aware of the mass entrance and presence of terrorists in Iraq, but they need the existence of such terrorists to establish unrest and instability in Iraq and therefore justify their presence in this country and also to accuse Iran for the problems in Iraq.

America openly supports terrorists

Secretary General of Habilian Association went on and said: Supporting terrorists would have benefits for America. He said: The fact that MKO terrorists have so far killed over 12000 innocent people in Iran is undoubtedly of no importance for Americans or even the crimes Al Qaeda has committed will not make them stop supporting terrorists; the only thing which matters to them is supporting terrorist groups such as MKO and Al Qaeda. Such a support for terrorism would be of their first priorities in making the region insecure and to continue their presence in Iraq.

Hashemi Nezhad evaluated a good future for Iraq and clarified: certainly the Iraqi people will build a clear future for this country and we hope Iraqi people could reconstruct and develop their country using their own forces. We also hope that as the MKO headquarter of camp Ashraf is being closed in Iraq, this issue be followed up to the end and make happy the people of Iran and Iraq which had received numerous damages from this terrorist cult.

The most deserving action is to follow the way of martyrs

Another speaker to the meeting was Ayatollah Sistani’s representative who expressed his pleasure from being in Iran and praised martyr Hashemi Nezhad’s son and said: I’m so happy to see you’re following your father’s way and I hope other martyrs’ children continue the way of their fathers too. I think this would be the most deserving act.

Ayatollah Hani al- Tamimi added: "Resorting to Islam is the only way we could stand against colonialism and imperialism. We should be aware that colonialism always appears with a mask and uses the weapons of hypocrisy.

He said: We have received several damages from MKO terrorist cult too and our people have suffered a lot from their parasitic presence in Iraq.

He called Iranians a great nation and continued: Your country is the Islam’ land while the Iraqi people have also learned to resist the enemies and to achieve their causes with resistance.

MKO must be expelled from Iraq

Ayatollah al-Tamimi said: I have been living in Diyali province since 1970s and I know how the Islamic traditions are observed in this province.
He pointed to the representatives of Diyali who attended the meeting and said: The representatives of Diyali have repeatedly asked the Iraqi government to expel MKO from Iraq. We also staged a big rally in protest to MKO presence in Iraq.

Representative of Ayatollah Sistani then notified: We recently held a big celebration in the city of Khalis in which scholars and elders of this city demanded MKO to be expelled from Iraq.

Then he referred to the imperialism plots for interference in the internal affairs of the countries and creation of disunion and dissension and added: We must stand against our common enemies through unity and under the instructions of our religious scholars.

Sheikh Ghays Hassan Abd al-Amir was another speaker of the meeting. He said: In Diyali terrorists were on to stand against God but the people of Diyali stood against them and demanded their expulsion from Iraq.

He continued: We are happy to see the Iraqi government has granted our desire and that the Iraqi security forces have taken control over camp Ashraf.
At the end of the meeting Secretary General of Habilian association expressed once again his happiness from hosting the Iraqi delegation in the holy city of Mashahd and said:

MKO which has a long history of atrocities and crimes in both Iran and Iraq are now tying to fight against the domination of Iraqi army over Camp Ashraf by propagating as if they are being oppressed. This is while they have killed a number of Iraqi forces and have wounded some others during the recent takeover of the camp by Iraqi forces

MKO former member open letter to Vidal-Quadras

I am responding to your recent speeches in the European Parliament in relation to Iran in which you express support for the Mojahedin-e Khalq organization led by Massoud Rajavi. As a former member, I have known this group since 1979. Because of them I spent five years of my youth in Mr. Sadeqi: As a former member, I have known MKO group since 1979Iranian prisons; including two years in solitary confinement in Gohar Dasht in Karaj. I also spent the years from 1997 to 2006 as a prisoner of the MKO in Camp Ashraf, Iraq.

I was sent to Camp Ashraf after several years of fundraising work for the MKO in Canada. I was originally sent for a six month military training stint, but in fact they never allowed me to leave. (As you know, none of the people at Camp Ashraf have any legal status in Iraq and their passports and personal documents are confiscated by the MKO leadership to prevent them leaving. Ref. RAND report.)

After considering your support for this military cult, I just want to ask you, and give you the benefit of the doubt, if you honestly and purely, as the freedom lover you make claim to be, believe in your own use of the term ‘democratic’ in relation to the MKO. How do you know that? By visiting Camp Ashraf?

I should remind you and your colleagues that these are visits carefully pre-arranged and organized by the MKO leadership. Where did you go while you were at Camp Ashraf, to whom did you speak? I was there while so many people like yourself and like Paulo Casaca visited. We saw by whom you were escorted and of course we were not allowed to approach you and talk to you. All those people around you were MKO intelligence and security personnel, the same people who are responsible for the suppression and mistreatment of rank and file members.

Did it ever occur to you that everybody you were introduced to and allowed to speak with was saying exactly the same things like a broken record. Maybe you didn’t think of this because when it comes to it the MKO are expert at manipulating and deceiving people with their red carpet treatment and their provision of gifts like Perisan rugs and fancy goods.

In your speech you used the words ‘pressure’ and ‘harrasment’. Do you have any idea what your Rajavi has done to us? The beatings, humiliation, swearing and constant mental pressure aimed at anyone who wants to leave, or even to say anything critical of what Rajavi has ever said. Where you then? Why has no one asked any international human rights organization to come and visit Ashraf independently?

Many tragedies have taken place within the confines of Camp Ashraf. But no more, not for the rank and file members like myself. On the contrary, with the takeover by the Government of Iraq in January 2009, and the recent publication of the RAND report, they see some light at the end of the tunnel at last.

But as for Rajavi and his high rank killing machine, of course you said that you recently visited Camp Ashraf and that such allegations are absolutely unfounded. Are you a man of your word? Are you prepared to return to Camp Ashraf with a different, non-MKO organized delegation to see if you are right or not? I make only one suggestion; that I be permitted to come along with that delegation and show you the real Camp Ashraf and take you to places so that you could freely talk to the rank and file members. What do you say about that? Since your speech is presumably not political and is purely humanitarian, so you should not have any objection to this suggestion. In fact, I am sure you will be happy to prove your words, especially as you think that everybody in Camp Ashraf is there voluntarily.

In the end however I have so many things to say and explain to you and your colleagues. But for now I just wanted to ask how you can be so sure of what you say? How many former members, or even ordinary Iranians have you spoken to before you came to your conclusions? I myself am ready to come and talk about freedom and democracy and voluntary action and anything else that you and your colleagues want to discuss.

Don’t you think for one moment how strange it is that everyone who backs the MKO repeats exactly and precisely what Rajavi himself says? But that when it comes to listening to what former members say both MKO backers and leaders alike scream their hearts out that they are all agents of the Iranian Intelligence ministry?
Why is that? Could it be that Rajavi doesn’t want people like yourself – western, liberal, democratic, freely elected representatives – to talk to people like me?
Rajavi knows that if you talk to us you will have to think twice before you repeat whatever they want you to.

If you are truly a freedom lover, I think it’s only fair, not for me, or even for the Iranian people, but first for yourself to take these steps. Because I believe that if you are a humanitarian person then one day, maybe not long from now, as events unfold, you will see the truth and you will think back to this day and wish that you had taken a different stand. I just want you and other purely humanitarian people to remember that, along with my fellow brothers and sisters, victims of the Rajavi cult, I would remind you that little streams will, at last, join the ocean.

The “wolves” documentary released

The “wolves” documentary over the shameful fate of Mujahedin-e Khalq terrorist group was made public by Habilian Association (terror victims’ family) in 17 episodes.

According to the database of Habilian Association (terror victims’ family) the “wolves” documentary (Subject) is the story of members of MKO terrorist cult who moved to Iraq in the very early days of Iraq’s imposed war to Iran and became a part of Saddam’s war machine against Iran and fought against their own people as a part of Saddam’s army.

Saddam’s intelligence and security organization secretly and completely recorded, with specific objectives, meetings and relations with the so-called Mujahedin-e Khalq organization for more than 20 years.

The oldest documents and films are concerned with 1980 and the latest ones refer to 2003 four months before fall of Saddam Hussein.

This documentary has been provided from hundreds of hours of films obtained from MKO hidden relationships with the deposed Baath regime in Iraq.

Directed by Morteza Bagheri, this documentary was partly broadcasted from Iranian television last year.

Sobhani broaches US ties with Rajavi cult

Sobhani was separated from his daughter and wife for more than eight years.
Sobhani was separated from his daughter and wife for more than eight years.
A former member of the terrorist Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO) claims the US turned a blind eye to the terrorist nature of the ‘Rajavi cult’.

Mohammad-Hossein Sobhani, 49, from the central Iranian town of Saveh, came into contact with the MKO two years before the 1979 revolution in Iran, which overthrew the pro-US Iranian monarch, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.

Five year later, after working in the organization’s administrative and student departments, he was whisked away to Iraq to assume his role”as a unit commander at the training school for urban guerrilla warfare.”

After questioning the organization’s”armed struggle and presence in Iraq”, Sobhani claims he was beaten, tortured and”held in solitary confinement for eight-and-a-half years, from September 1992 to January 2001.”

“The reason why I started to raise my objection was that I believed that the strategies employed by Masoud Rajavi were meant to secure his domination on its members,”Sobhani said in an exclusive interview with Press TV.

The former senior MKO official said Rajavi resorted to”cult-like”practices, including forced divorce and celibacy.

He would separate couples claiming that”such practices would liberate the members”from competing loyalties. Their children were also sent to European countries, Sobhani said.

“Rajavi would justify forced divorces by claiming that these practices would free a member, and pave the way to transform a micro society into a macro one and overthrow the Islamic Republic,”Sobhani said.

During his interview, he also claimed that because”the organization forbids matrimony, for the past 25 years no child has been born to a man and woman inside the organization.”
He said the US had committed a colossal mistake in not dealing with the residents of the MKO training camp in eastern Iraq, known as Camp Ashraf.

The camp, home to 3,400 Iranians loyal to Rajavi, was the base for operations against the Tehran government during the eight-year war as well as operations against Iraqi Kurds and Shias during the 1991 uprising against former dictator Saddam Hussein.

“Rajavi maintained a mercenary-like relationship with Saddam Hossein, after Iraq’s invasion he wanted to forge the same relationship with the Americans so he announced that he was ready to [willingly] lay dawn his arms,”Sobhani explained.

“Although the Americans were fully aware of the fact that the MKO was a terrorist organization, they still cooperated with Rajavi,”he claimed.

Americans in Iran were one of the primary targets of the group throughout the 1970s. They assassinated a number of American citizens, namely William C. Cottrell, Colonel Lewis L. Hawkins, Donald G. Smith, and Colonel Jack Turner inside Iran.

“As a former member of the group, I feel that the Americans have made a grave mistake with regards to the organization. Six years after overthrowing Saddam, the MKO is still brainwashing the residents of Ashraf Camp with the help of the Americans,”Sobhani said.

The MKO was founded in Iran in the 1960s, but its top leadership and members fled the country some twenty years later after carrying out numerous acts of terror inside the country.

The group masterminded a series of assassinations and bombings inside Iran, including the 1981 bombing of the offices of the Islamic Republic Party, in which more than 72 senior Iranian officials were killed, including the then Judiciary Chief Ayatollah Mohammad Beheshti.

Iran condemns US double standards on terrorism

TEHRAN (Xinhua) — Iran’s Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani said Tuesday that the US administration has taken double-standard stance on terrorism, the semi-official Fars news agency reported.

Referring to the United States’ approach to the anti-Iran "terror group," the Mojahedeen Khalq Organization (MKO), Larijani said that "it was obvious to us that the US (on one hand) has been using the group as a tool… and (on the other hand) Americans said that they have nothing to do with MKO because it is a terrorist organization."

"A recent report about the US policy on the MKO, released by a research center affiliated to the US Defense Ministry, declared that Washington has not treated the group as a terrorist organization… it is a political scandal for Washington," Larijani was quoted as saying.

The Mojahedeen, a self-claimed Marxist and Islamic movement, was founded in 1965 in opposition to the shah of Iran and has subsequently fought to oust the Islamic regime which took power in the 1979 revolution.

In 1980s, when former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein was at war with Iran, the group set up Camp Ashraf in northeast Iraqi town of Khalis about 120 kilometers west of the Iranian border and 60 kilometers north of Baghdad as a base to operate against the Tehran government.

Earlier this year, Iraqi National Security Adviser Muwafaq Al-Rubaie underlined his country’s decisiveness to implement an earlier decision for closing the headquarters of the anti-Iran terrorist group in Diyala Province.

Iranian government says the MKO is "an organized group which has never denied using weapons and arms." It is blacklisted as a terrorist organization by the United States.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization members' families

Family of Mehraban Babayee asked for his return

Family of Mehraban Balayee an injured Ashraf resident asked for his return

Balayee family have been an active Nejat member since two years ago, at Nejat Society Gilan Branch, where they were able to send letters to their brothers Mehraban and Kiyomars who have been captured in MKO’s Camp Ashraf for twenty – four years. However the leaders of MKO neither allowed them to reply the letters, nor let them make a phone call to their families.

In recent clashes between the MKO and Iraqi forces that were started by leaders of the cult and ended with the death and injury of a number of forces on both sides, Mr. Mehraban Balayee was also injured and then he received treatments by Iraqi forces.

As usual the organization published the news of his injury by his so called National Council of Resistance and ridiculously claimed that Mehraban was wounded on his arm and leg and he passed out due to bleeding, surprisingly, he passed 14 days on hunger strike so as his colleagues asked him to stop it in order that he can return to Camp Ashraf!

Balayee family came to Nejat Society office as soon as they were informed of the fearful news of their beloved brother’s injury. They wanted to get further information about his current condition. When they saw the news published on NCR website, they wondered how could an injured person on both arm and leg, unconscious of bleeding go on hunger strike?

Therefore, Balayees informed of Rajavi’s tricks to achieve his ambitions, wrote a letter to Nejat Society central office, asking for more help to be able to return their injured brother to his worried family.
The following is the original version of Mr. Shadman and Mr. Ali Balayee:
