Amman government considered MKO a terrorist group

Mottaki made the remark at an open session of Majlis in response to a question by Majlis deputy from Semnan Mostafa Kavakebian about reaction of the Iranian Foreign Ministry to anti-Iran statements made by 12 Jordanian MPs…

He stated that hours after being informed of the Jordanian MPs’ statement, Amman government considered MKO a terrorist group Foreign Ministry summoned the Jordanian ambassador to Iran to inform him of Tehran’s strong protest and demands for explanations on the part of the Jordanian government.

He noted that Iran’s envoy to Jordan was invited to the Jordanian Foreign Ministry to be informed that the Amman government considered the MKO as a terrorist group and did not support it.

The Jordanian Foreign Ministry also announced that Jordanian MPs’ move was personal and is not confirmed by the government of Jordan, added Mottaki.

"The Jordanian parliament speaker announced that Jordan does not confirm such a move," said Mottaki.

Mottaki said that as a result of Iran’s reaction, independent Jordanian dailies called the move "wrong".

He added that the Jordanian foreign minister, who had travelled to Tehran to attend a meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), announced "We under no conditions officially recognize the grouplet." On the MKO presence in Iraq, Mottaki said, "Americans and Saddam regime provided the MKO with a safe haven and necessary facilities.

Now following the fall of Saddam regime, we should take new initiatives for expulsion of MKO members from Iraq."

He referred to his meeting with Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari in Tehran on the sidelines of the NAM meeting, where the Iraqi official announced that Baghdad had reached final agreement with Americans to take over the control of Ashraf camp from multinational forces.

He hoped that the decision by the Iraqi government will soon be enforced.

Habilian Foundation

UK Legislators Briefed On MKO Crimes

Secretary General of the non-governmental organization, Habilian Association briefed British parliamentarians about the crimes committed by the Mujahideen-e Khalq Organization (MKO).

Mohammad Javad Hasheminejad who visited Britain to participate in the international conference on ‘Alternative Global Perspectives on Terrorism’ during his one-week stay in London met with representatives of the House of Commons and House of Lords and presented documents on some of the crimes committed by the banned group.

“In the meetings with British lawmakers, officials of the civil society and human rights organizations, we realized that some of them do not know much about the terrorist operations and inhumane track record of the MKO. After talks with them, some requested that they be allowed to cooperate closely with Habilian and exchange information about human rights issues and fighting terrorism,” he told IRNA in London.

He went on to add, “Unfortunately, given the free activities of the MKO in some western countries, the group has managed to influence some parliamentarians and politicians in these countries who do not know much about its terrorist background. Those who even knew a little about the MKO’s terror network were shocked when we presented documentation about murder of 12,000 people in Iran by the group and its terrorist activities in other countries, including Iraq.”

Hashemi Nejad also met the press in London.

“In the meetings, we briefed the journalists about the dangers posed by terrorist groups for the human race and urged them to cover news and information about the operations of the MKO in an unbiased manner,” he noted.

British lawmakers removed the MKO from the UK’s list of banned terror groups on June 22.

Legislators then approved the decision by the Court of Appeals, which had ruled in May that the MKO should no longer be listed as a proscribed group. The MKO has committed acts of aggression against both Iranian and Iraqi nationals and remains banned by the European Union and the United States.

According to Iran’s Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki, the terrorist groups has killed over 16,000 people in Iran most of them by MKO terrorist mercenaries, including one president, a prime minister, four ministers, dozens of parliamentarians, and senior officials.

Iraq

PMOI creates sedition among Iraqis

MKO terrorist organization plays an active role in provoking sectarian conflicts between Iraqi people. The group with some terrorist entities has set up headquarters in Camp Ashraf northeast of Baghdad and provides material support to terrorists in Diyala province in addition to holding seminars with some Iraqi tribes and Clan elders in the province. The terrorist group is also engaged in broadcasting news that make the country unstable, when the news say that the United Iraqi Alliance party carried out widespread fraud in Baghdad previous vote and that the party has prevented Alfeli Kurds from voting. MKO at the same time attacks Iraqi national government elected by the people of Iraq. They accuse the police forces and Interior Ministry with putting obstacles before the Alfelian Kurds voting and underline these events will occur in every coming election.

Considerable is how come this terrorist organization finds interest in defending the voting rights of certain categories of the Iraqi people despite the fact that the history of this organization is known for hitting the Iraqi people in the north of Iraq and their bloody hands in massacre of Kurds and beating Iraqi citizens merely because they were passing by the door of their former headquarters based in Andalusia Square and at the same time trying to create a crisis between Iraq and the neighboring countries with false charges especially in the election, when propagating that Iran has sent trucks loaded with forged voting papers to the south of Iraq and Diyala province. However there is no evidence of where these trucks are and why they did not appear in the Iraqi TV channels and why the claimed arrested truck drivers are not shown to public.

These false propagandas MKO makes against the Iraqi elected government is based on nothing but evil terrorist intentions of this terrorist cult and they must be prosecuted for the following reasons:

1- Interfering in Iraq’s affairs, meetings and conferences with terrorist entities within Iraq and support for terrorists, causing the deterioration of the security situation in Iraq.

2- Involvement with the war crimes of the former tyrant, striking the Iraqi people in northern and southern Iraq and hit neighboring countries as Kuwait, Iran and Saudi Arabia.

3- Dissemination of information against the Iraqi people and try to create sectarian strife and sedition between the sons of one people.

4- Discredit the elected government and its Ministry.

5- Issuing newspaper without the consent of the prime minister in Iraq and the Iraqi parliament’s approval.

6- Recruiting some Iraqi journalists, athletes and some tribal elders in Iraq to stand against Iraq and the Iraqi people.

We as Iraqis address the UN Security Council and the Organization for Human Rights and the neighboring countries and multinational forces in Iraq to issue a statement to the Iraqi government by taking out the terrorist organization from Iraq after the prosecution by the Criminal Court of Iraq.

And the Arab League to meddle! In this issue and address all the Arab countries not to accept this terrorist organization on its territory.

Former members of the MEK

Behind the smiles of the captives in Ashraf

Memories of Batoul Soltani- Part three

In the previous part, Mrs.Batoul Soltani described her defection process. She is going to explain her first visit within her family and her following activities in Sahar Family Foundation.

Batoul Soltani: out of Ashraf, there was another world. I found the opportunity to meet my family who had come to Iraq. It was so bizarre. The family is a spiritual gift: mother, father, brothers and sisters who are full of emotions and feelings. I realized how badly I had behaved to them, how much they had suffered because of me. I found out that my father had died due to a heart attack, and my mother had suffered a lot of grieves. So I had much motive to help the other families because I have seen that the organization is still capturing the youth of our country by various methods even deception and abuse of emotional relationships. If anyone wants to leave the group, they ruin his future so as he will have no future out of the group, forcing him to stay in the organization for his whole life.

After the defection, I could have had a normal life but I had enough motivation to stay in Iraq to help my ex-friends and those who are likely to be captured by MKO; the ones who are like me and who do not know what is waiting for them in the cult despite their deceitful smile and green lights. I know what is behind the smiles of the captives in Ashraf. They are very tired but they are afraid of complaining because they would be marked. They have no idea what to do. Even those members, who could leave MKO, have their own problems because the organization has functioned so violently that no one accepts the defectors either.

I learned about a foundation called Sahar, I contacted them and I was willing to help them. Then I became a member of Sahar Family Foundation and now I am a spokeswoman of that. My activities included a trip to Turkey to contact some of the defectors who had legal and financial problems there, we had some jobs and interviews there, with Mr. Masud Khodabandeh who is the founder of SFF.

We are trying to pave the way for MKO defectors to be able to live a normal life in a free society. Mr. Khodabandeh and I also had a trip to Karkul,Irbil,Soleimanieh and Dahouk, and we visited various defectors in these cities. I had recently a trip to the North of Iraq to help those ex-comrades. I could have some meetings with the deputies of Kurdish parties and some journals and international communities to provide the conditions to aid the defectors of MKO. I met and talked to many of them, I got acquainted with their life, problems and grieves. Now I am doing my best to aid SFF in order to help the defectors of MEK.

I had to help my husband; it was my responsibility to save him. I know what happened to him finally and what his motive at the beginning was. I asked his family for help inviting them to Iraq. They came to Iraq after some time, we went to camp Ashraf. I will explain the way the organization treated us in detailed in another part. The scenario they had designed was so significant that needs to be discussed carefully in a separate program.

My activities are partly based on my human feelings. I know my children are hostages in MKO where they are manipulated. I got to know that my daughter Setareh has been forced to come to Iraq. I know she didn’t want to come to Iraq at all.

They were so eager to bring Setare to Iraq before I leaved TIPF or Iraq. Unfortunately I got into some troubles and I couldn’t get in touch with my daughter. Later I figured out that they had convinced her to come to Iraq to visit her father. They brought her to Iraq last March and told her to stay there. She was told:”your mother has psychological problems and she wants to take you to Iran.” She was also told other lies to keep her in the camp as long as they can and of-course to manipulate her more and more. The first step has been the interviews against me but my daughter has resisted and hasn’t done it. But they have terrified her so terribly that she doesn’t answer my phone calls turning off her cell phone. Then she was taken to Ashraf to visit her father who has treated her so unkindly- He has not been in a normal condition- Then she was taken to their indoctrination system. They have manipulated her so seriously that she is completely mixed up now; she is in Netherland where my son is living. She was taken there to work on her brother, Miaad who is totally confused now.

Miaad says:” How is it possible? I am sixteen now, and I haven’t had any idea that I have a sister, mother or father. I don’t know what’s happened that now I have a father and I am repeatedly invited to go to Iraq to visit him or now I have founded my sister after years, in another European country.”

One of my tasks is to go to a European country to pursue the case legally to be able to visit my children after 16 years. My son was 6 months old when the organization separated him from me. I haven’t seen them for 16 years. I missed them a lot. I’d really love to see them but what shall I do that the terrorist cult of Rajavi commits any crime against the defectors.Translation: Nejat Society

Auver-sur-Oise

Maryam Rajavi’s Camp; Inside and Outside

The European base of Mujahedin Khalq Organization, near Auver sur Oise. in Cergy-Pontoise province, France, has played various roles as the MKO’s headquarters for its armed struggle against Iran, since its foundation under the confirmation of then French government, following its defeat in the partisan civil clashes, the leaders of the organization fled from Iran and the second phase of civil clashes was ordered and directed by the leader from their European base in France. The teams were controlled and directed by phone calls from Paris. The base is now where Mrs. Maryam Rajavi the executive leader of MKO is residing.

Therefore it’s another version of “Ashraf in Iraq” called as “Maryam in France”.

In 1981 when Masud Rajavi fled to France together with Abul Hussan Banisadr, the base was a small country house belonged to Saleh Rajavi, (Masud Rajavi’s older brother) that became the group’s headquarters.

Gradually, the organization bought the neighboring houses by the side of Oise River adding them to the main base after ruining the old buildings and constructing new ones. The walls became taller and were decorated by barbed wires and finally it transformed to a castle or military camp. It is worth to note that regarding the large number of French gens d’armes who protect MKO around the camp, the tall walls and barbed wires are not aimed to prevent foreigners and strangers from entering the camp but to prevent the people captured inside the camp from leaving it. Leaving the camp for the most highranking members is only allowed under the written permission of the group’s authorities. Also leaving the camp alone (without any companion) is forbidden because the members should go out together so as the authorities could monitor them more easily.

In Auver Camp (Maryam Camp), as well as Ashraf Camp, the cult special rules are ruling. The isolated location of the cult restricts any contact with the outside world.

Following the arrival of Masud Rajavi in Iraq in 1986 and the formation of National Liberation army and establishment of Camp Ashraf, Iraq under the rule of Saddam Hussein, Camp Maryam played its role as the second headquarters which supported MKO’s military operations in Iran and controled the group’s forces in Europe.”Maryam Camp” in the Parisian suburb has always served as the group’s headquarters for 27 years and it is now working as an isolated factory which builds robots inside the organization. Therefore the base has always had a vital part for Masud Rajavi for his 5-year residence in France and also 17 years of his presence under the rule of Saddam Hussein and even now that he is disappeared the base directs the military and cult-like line of the organization.

The base in Europe has nearly the same role that camp Ashraf has in Iraq and after the fall of Saddam Hussein’s dictatorship the role of Maryam base was multiplied.

Maryam Camp in France organizes the internal relations of MKO as well as its external relations and it is charged with anything committed by MKO (either in Ashraf or any other part of the world).

The duties of Maryam Base include:

1. The strategic headquarter of MKO for armed struggle and its military arm is NLA (National Liberation Army). The base has always used as the headquarters during the three phases of the group’s armed operations.

2. The safe centre for the organization’s theorique and ideological elements who have the responsibility to determine the cult-like methodology of the cult for manipulation techniques used in Iraq and the West.

3. Main political centre and the political cover of the cult: National Council of Resistance of Iran which is used for the democratic gestures of the cult and to neutralize its terrorist face.

Rajavi founded the council according to a symbolic and tactical necessity not a democratic principal. The politics are used as a mean to achieve military goals of the organization.

4. The centre of executive headquarter of the organization in various domains such as financial, propagandistic, information and intelligence and psychological warfare … Maryam Base is the headquarters to direct MKO’s propaganda machine. The base also organizes some front organizations to do fundraising activities under the cover of false identities. …

5. Maryam Base after Ashraf Base is the symbol of MKO’s power in its propaganda, political and diplomatic activities.

Thus Camp Ashraf in Cergy-Pontoise, France is similar to Camp Ashraf in Diala, Iraq: a geo- politic headquarters from external view and a manipulation headquarters from internal view. The both bases have definitely destructive effects on their residents and even the neighboring inhabitants.

In fact the both bases cannot survive without each other. If either of them, due to any reason, is closed, the other one will be affected immediately. Without Maryam Base in France, MKO is not able to use Ashraf Base’s forces, and without Ashraf- Iraq, Maryam – France is no more effective.

Former members of the MEK

Mujahedin Organizational Contradictions

Mrs. Sho’le Shadram, former member of MKO, who is now residing is Sweden, had an interview with Nejat Society during her trip to Iran. The following is an extract of her speech at Tehran branch of Nejat Society:

Mrs. Sho'le Shadram, former member of MKO, who is now residing is Sweden, had an interview with Nejat Society during her trip to Iran I am Sho’le Shadram. I was born in 1966 in Lahijan, Gilan. In 1985, when I wanted to join MKO I went to Turkey from where I was sent to Iraq. When I fled Iran, I was in age of 17 and I was a MKO supporter. After I arrived in Iraq, Camp Ashraf, gradually I began to doubt what the organization was saying. I couldn’t trust them. When I was in Iran I was very sympathic and serious supporter of MKO but when I got in to a close relationship with them, I felt that they have another face which never looks like what they say.

The peak of the internal contradiction was that my first marriage was organizational [dictated by the organization] and my first husband was killed in the group’s attack to Iran [Eternal Light Operation]. My second marriage was also organizational which ended to the mandatory divorce dictated after the ideological revolution!

How do the cult leaders allow themselves to enter the individuals’ private personal space and manipulate them by psychological methods? I didn’t agree the divorce and marriage of Maryam Rajavi (the basic contradiction that everyone has question on but no one dares to express)

They wanted to convince me and the others to accept it.Under their hysteric peer pressure we had no way except accepting the controversial divorce and marriage of Maryam Azdanlou[Rajavi].

Basically I didn’t believe in going to Iraq and cooperating with Saddam Hussein, considering it treason against Iran and Iranians (this was the second basic contradiction, contrary to the principals) but the ruling atmosphere was so controlling that I didn’t have the courage to express my idea. No one had the courage to even think about defection because they had made it a taboo: the highest treason. I never accepted a responsibility so I was all the time reproached. I was ready to suffer the worst condition to find a possibility to leave the camp and never get back.

In 1990, when I was in Camp Ashraf I stated my defection from MKO, so I was immediately taken to the group’s prison in Debes in Northern Iraq. After two and a half years of living in refugee camp in Turkey, I was granted refugee status by Sweden where I got married and became the mother of three children After a year, they sent me to the refugee camp in Romadi where the condition was very bad but of-course better than that of MKO. Once I escaped from the camp to go to Jordan but the Jordanian police arrested me and handed me to Iraq. The news of my escape was published, so the organization became obliged to send me to another country. First they transferred me to Baghdad and then in 1991 Turkey where I went to the UN’s High Commission of Refugees. After two and a half years of living in refugee camp in Turkey, I was granted refugee status by Sweden where I got married and became the mother of three children.

As soon as I got to Sweden, the MKO agents came to me continuously asking me to do fundraising activities in the streets. I resisted firmly and didn’t obey them. Finally, they stopped bothering me.

For along time, after my residence in Sweden, I had terrible nightmares. I had the feeling that I was still captured in the organization. I wondered how I was deceived by the cult and how I could waist my life in a cult. At nights I had nightmares of Ashraf Camp, I shouted in sleep. A few years passed and I could find a normal status.

In Sweden there was a group that helped the people who had gone to the war and had mental problems. They also helped the defectors of MKO psychologically to return them to the society. They had experts who aided the survivors of the cult. In Sweden, I had financial problem, I was homesick and I had problem with the language but I was never willing to have the least contact with MKO.

After some time, I contacted my family who were unaware of my condition for years. I wanted to go to Iran to visit them. I got married. I got three kids and I came to Iran to make my disagreement with MKO concrete. For the time being, I have no concern except my concern for those who are still captive of Camp Ashraf and I know them.

I appreciate the efforts of Nejat Society that tries to link the captured ones of the cult of Rajavi with their families in Iran. I hope that the entire captives of Camp Ashraf and Auver Sur d’Oise can soon get back to their families and society.

Mujahedin Khalq 's Function

Opportunist Mujahedin-e-Khalq

The armed struggle is not able to survive except by having the military equipments and support and especially the support and accompaniment of the public opinion. When an armed opposition loses such a support in the country, it has to look for it abroad.

As MKO was so eager to achieve the power in the political scene of Iran, it could not stay in Europe like the other Iranian dissident groups who are politically or socially fighting the Islamic Republic. The MEK stopped all its social and political activities in Europe in 1980s and sent the forces to Iraq to enjoy the Iran-Iraq war to expand its military power.

At the beginning the only common point of MKO and Saddam Hussein was their common enemy: Islamic Republic.

Iraq provided MEK with land, equipments and funds for their so-called National Liberation Army and in exchange the MEK were spying the Iranian forces’ intelligence for the Iraqi intelligence service.

Therefore the Iraqi government was using the MKO’s facilities to serve its own front.

The civil armed struggle was replaced by the front armed struggle because the civil struggles had been defeated in Iran and now MKO needed to depend on Saddam Hussein who was fighting Iran. If MKO had led its political struggles from Europe, France it would have not needed the support of a dictator and violator of Human Rights like Saddam Hussein.

The MEK had accepted the armed struggle by the side of Saddam Hussein, so they had to accept the presence of Iraqi specialists, military relationships, intelligence exchanged and cooperation in military operations …

To accept the war in the fronts where the invader enemy had started the war and bombarded and killed the innocent people, is more illegal and more anti-national than the civil war.

However after a while the Iraqi Intelligence Service suggested that MKO launch mortar attacks in the cities of Iran. Thus MKO mixed its armed struggle in the fronts with the partisan attacks in the cities and expanded the war in to the whole Iranian territory where a lot of innocent people were killed.

In the operations, the MKO members were under heavy pressure and stress because they knew that they were shooting their compatriots who were service-men or even civilians.

The people in the region also hated the MKO showing their hatred by not giving them any facility. In 1986, Masud Rajavi declared the end of civil partisan struggle officially announcing that:

” The macro-border war is replaced by the micro –civil war.”

Therefore they began to pay their debt to Saddam Hussein. They were so devoted to Saddam that sometimes the Iraqi Authorities assigned the terror objectives for MEK.

The important question, here is: How the anti-human dictator, Saddam Hussein, was so adopted with some pro-human freedom fighters?

The answer is their common ideology and idea and also activity. But how could the both side share the same ideology?

The answer should be analyzed psychologically: The idealist Iranian youth who were brainwashed, manipulated through a long indoctrination process, held the arms as their most excellent mean, camping among the anti-Iranian Baathists. How can they meet the demands of their own nation?

As soon as they picked up the arms, they got distanced from their own nation.

When they entered Iraq, they were completely separated from Iranians who viewed them as traitors since then.

When they attacked Iran, they were considered as the hostile mercenaries of Saddam Hussein.

Now that, their God father is overthrown, they are looking for another one, to hang on. This is the main characteristic of all opportunists who are hungry for the power.

The MEK; Baath Party Accomplice

The Truth: What the history recorded

The truth that the history recorded of one of the most notorious, bloody organization Mujahedin –e- Khalq.

We are narrating the life of those who have been living in MKO via words and pictures.

And this is an evidence to condemn those who stood by the side of Saddam and Rajavi`s group and its followers in the trial of the history.

Although there are still vague points, the truth and the right will be discovered.

Dear audience, I hope you a good time where ever you are. We are narrating the life of those who have been living in MKO via words and pictures

During this show we are going to investigate a lot of files which are not the last files.

If you want the truth that the history has been recording, stay with us.

Dear viewers, there is no doubt that most countries around the world grant refugee to people who might be political refugees or those who fled because of the war and natural incidents…

When the Iraqis were under Saddam Hussein`s dictatorship, the best opportunity was prepared to ruin Iraqi history, waist its resources and also destabilize its neighbors one after The other.

Due to its mean leader, the Iraqi territory became a fertile pasture for most deadly organizations.

Dear viewers, this cruel party became a state inside another one.

The both states are based on Rajavi- Saddami politics.

And the nation should pay the price of these cruelties and ambitions with the blood of their children and their territory integrity.

Of-course the remnants of Rajavi and Saddam are unaware of the fact.

Here I have some reports from the international human rights organizations which are detailed documents on the human rights abuses in MKO And reports by some individuals who were of MKO leaders and defected from the group. Their names include:

I am Parvin Faraugh , the former member of Mujahedin khalq.

Any one who is in Iran or Iraq knows how the relation was.

We thought that the activities of the organization are funded by its social – political supporters in Europe and didn`t know that they are in contact with Saddam who wants to penetrate.

This film is recorded by the hidden cameras of Iraqi Intelligence Service. Masud Rajavi is meeting with general Sabir the director of Iraqi Intelligence Service.

It means that Mr. President ordered and the funds were paid.

Before studying the documents, there is a survey and confessions made by some kurdish individuals.

So stay with us to watch these people.

I am Saeed Ahmad Muhammad. The Intifada of people of Kurdistan started in 1991 when I was a member National Alliance of Kurdistan and I was a brigadier – general. Our personnel were getting prepared for the freedom operation of Iraq and our forces were getting ready to go to Tuzkhormatou where at that time was like the other cities. Mr. Usman Haj Mahmud was the responsible of Tuzkhurmatou and I was the first – responsible of the forces.

The Intifada began in the south of central Iraq and the Kurds could consequently release a large part of Kurdish region : Rina , kellar , kefri and Tuzkhourmatu and the following day when we arrived in Tuzkhourmatu we saw that Mujahedin forces were hiding near the city and despite there was no problem between us and Mujahedin , They closed our way and asked us to leave the city and of-course the request didn`t end with Tuzkhowrmatu but they wanted to take kallar , kefri , khaneqein and … We told them that we oppose the regime and you oppose the regime in an other way and it is not suitable to fight each other . Iraqi internal affairs is none of our business, it is Iraq`s business and you shouldn`t put conditions for us but their response was nothing except waiting “for our response”. At last, we declared our disagreement with their conditions.

The third day that we were staying in the city, we got in a clash we Iraqi forces and made too much damages to their equipments, tanks and forces.

The forth day MKO forces asked us to let them leave the city.

We accepted because we had great projects for Kirkuk freedom operation however the road to Kirkuk was blocked by MKO forces unfortunately. Then we agreed that their forces go via Tuzkhoumatu although they fired their guns against us once a while. Until noon when they attacked a group of innocent civilians in Suleiman Beig, a region between Kirkuk and Baghdad, and a large number of people were killed or injured. Some of them are still alive. Despite we had no hostility against them , later we found out that they had been cooperating with Iraqi Intelligence since long time ago and had been aiding Istikhbarat in suppressing Iraqi people`s uprisings.

They were more active than Intelligence forces in suppresses.

They enjoyed a large support by Saddam Hussein and security forces and there were the reasons for their continuous attacks to Kefri, Khaneqein and Kellar but all their attack were crushed terribly by Pishmerga forces.

What we said was nothing other than what was recorded by the history.

There were also some other clashes between MEK and us for example in the regions of Jelula and lazim.

These forces saw themselves as the Iranian opposition but it is not logical that they own some bases in Iraq having headquarters in Iraqi main roads.

They helped the Baath forces of Iraq. The Kurdish people never forget that MEK martyred their children.

I am Adel Shakour Ahmad the deputy – chairman of Daramia region

I eye-witnessed how Mujahedin`s tanks crushed the bodies of Peshmerga and innocent people in Suleiman Beig.

They killed the kids who were under 7 and were in their mothers` bosom

For Mujahedin khalq there was no difference between adults or kids, youth or elderly, men or women or Pishmerga

They attack the civilians of a large city like Kefri and as MKO`s tanks were invading the city, Saddam Hossein`s aircrafts were bombarding the city.

I eye-witnessed Mujahedin khalq captured a person, chained him and threw him under a tank.

Their crimes were worse than those of Saddam Hossein. The tanks of his regime never crushed the kids or innocent people.

In Kellar the tanks killed more than 20 civilians and then attacked the hospital of the town and killed most of the patients including men , women , elderly and kids.

They shot two of the doctors and killed a ten-year old child and another doctor named Dr. Muhammad

The people of Kurdistan will never forget the crimes and inhuman acts of MKO in soleiman Beig and Tuzkhurmatou

Although Kurds were under the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein for 35 years , they haven’t seen , the crimes like MEK committed against them , in their territory yet

Saddam granted Mujahedin –e- khalq a lot of regions including Alazm that included dozens of military bases equipped with all kinds of weapons such as cannons, tanks, and military aircrafts.

Mujahedin killed the innocent people, although they never had the right to do so. They were the opponents to another country and never had the right to intervene in our country’s affair at all.

The people of kurdistan were struggling to achieve their own rights but MKO was a mercenary force that saddam’s regime had hired to massacre the children of Kurdish nation in Iraq.

They are the agents of Saddam’s regime and killed over 182000 children of the innocent kurdish people and today

We have a lot of evidences that prove that MEK were involved in those clashes and massacres.

I am Tarig Sadig , the director of Mantry in Garmian .

On March 25th, 1961, a large number of tanks and cannons entered Alazm region , with exalted flags , and immediately after they arrived in the town , they opened the fire against innocent people that ended with the death or injury of a lot of civilians.

In their shameful invasion, they didn’t make any difference between men and women or youth or old people or kids or civilians or peshmerga forces.

I saw with my own eyes how MKO tanks fired those who were just watching them. They went from the main street to branches and shot everyone in their way.

When they reached a hospital, they shot everyone and martyred a lot of them. Among the martyrs I can name Dr.Nehle, Engineer Zahi and a private car driver.

The forces got to Bardsur and their aim was Kellar, they wanted to cut the contact between kellar and Suleimania.

Without the presence of the Pishmarga forces, the Baath forces reached the city.

In Bardsur they fired the tanks against the women and children who were running away to get to seid khalil .

Meanwhile Peshmerga arrived and exploded Mujahedin’s tanks and took their cars forcing them to escape

In a place in kellar one of the pishmarga forces attacked a tank of MKO’s with his klashinkof. He was killed immediately.

The Kurdish men were not in fight with Mujahedin khalq organization but they were fighting those who were hired by Saddam. At that time Masud Rajavi personally ordered the massacre of innocent people in most regions including Sulaimanbeig and kellar .

Dear viewers, good evening, once more with the Truth:

Gholam Reza Sadeghi is another eye-witness who says:

I have an Iranian – American ID card. After I saw the inhuman acts of the organization I found the truth so I decided to leave the group and return to the US but they imprisoned me and said that my passport was lost and I should leave without it they said :

”If the Iraqi forces see you , they will arrest and imprison you .“ They imprisoned and tortured me.

When the Americam forces arrived in Iraq, I went before them and described my situation and asked them to help me return to America since I had an American ID.

In the papers, Gholam Reza Sadeghi wrote by his own hands and here they are kept before us, he wants the justice to be done about this camp which is a threat to AbuGhoraib region.

The camp was granted to Mujahedin by Saddam. The forces of the camp were used to suppress the prisoners in AbuGhoraib.

The prisoners were like burning bullets and late at night, they were divided to 3, 6, 7 parts and the terrorist acts were executed against them.

Late at night, they brought them outside and asked them: who cares for his religious ceremonies, who says his prayers regularly.. ?

And when they wanted to execute the rules of the prison, they forced some prisoners to beat the other prisoners continuously and if anyone didn’t obey them, they would punish him seriously.

Such affairs, in Abghoraib, were managed by Mojahedin khalq under the order of the Iraqi office: Anvar Sadig Hariri .

We have also another witness Taymour Mahmoud Khattar.

In the picture, he is showing the photo of his son who left Iran in 2001. When he was in Turkey on his way to Europe, he was recruited by MKO.

When Sohil Khatar found out the true face of the organization, he tried to leave it.

But he ends with death. After his parents attempted to find the documents of his death, they found his certificate in which they saw the blue stamp of”Died”.

Dear viewers, the crimes of organization do not end up to here.

And in the memories of most Iraqis, there are traces of the group’s crimes and violence.

Notice the survey among some of the citizens:

In this street interviews where all Iraqi journalists are working for a free and developed Iraq , all of us ask for the expulsion of all terrorist groups including mujahedin khalq .

In the name of God. Via this tribune, I ask for the expulsion of Mujahedin organization because they are those who commit terrorist activities and cooperated with Saddam in the massacre of Shaabanieh .

The disorders in Iraq are due to the presence of this organization.

This is an organization that has much negative influence on the entire society weather youth or elderly.

While we are broad casting these pictures, there may be someone who doubts the truth of them but I’d say: Is it wise that the organization arrests and imprisons the individuals?

All human right organizations of the UN have reports on the human rights abuses in MKO. We hear a lot of requests from various sources who ask the Iraqi government to expel the organization or at least to take them under control and supervision completely.

They also want them to be banded of any military activity and any activity that harms the neighboring countries.

While the Iraqi Government is trying to stabilize

The neighbors which can be the pre-pheres of military , economic and security stability

All the politicians and citizens want the expulsion of the group.

They want the group to stop the cruelty, injustice and revenge policy that has followed as the Baathist policy.

The Iraqi government wants the organization to obey the diplomatic and political principals and the Human Rights

The picture you are viewing in my hand shows the families of the captured ones in the organization. They had come to Iraq from Iran or outside Iran to ask for the achievement of their children’s rights. Here, there are hundreds of people who are barred by Rajavi’s group in camp Ashraf.

Most people don’t want this camp to be changed to a military base asking for the take over of the camp from MKO

There are a lot of arguments on the case.

Here I have many documents that we will let you and the families of the captive ones know and this program will not be the last.

We will discuss the right and the truth promising you to open other files which will be recorded by the history, soon.

Good bye

The cult of Rajavi

MKO and Batinis, two cults with identical projects of sterilization

The disclosing speech of Nasrin Ebrahimi in the European Parliament on the latest cult approach of MKO in making women infertile, as another phase of the ideological revolution of Mojahedin, gives a clear picture of cultic malevolent practices committed within the cult of Mojahedin. The fact that Ms. Ebrahimi has escaped from Camp Ashraf refusing to undergo the hysterectomy indicates that evidently there are many other female members forced to have the surgery; therefore, this case is to be pursued legally. Having another look at the numerous similarities found between the approaches adopted by MKO leaders and those of notorious historical cults may clarify the real cultic nature of MKO.

Sterilization is one of the strategies adopted by leaders of certain cults. It has taken two forms in cultic relations, i.e. mental and physical. Mental sterilization is accomplished through the very same brainwashing techniques and thought reform, a common practice in almost all cultic groups, and MKO in particular, as acknowledged by a great number all former members. In addition, there are evidences that physical sterilization by means of hysterectomy is a frequently used procedure in MKO, a technique analogous to that of the cult of Batinis, a historical and notorious Iranian cult. The process of convincing or forcing members to undergo this operation has its own mechanisms and features on which due investigation is to be carried out. Interestingly, MKO leaders resort to explanations for their inhuman deed that are similar to those of the leaders of the historical cult of Batinis. What follows are instances of excuses made by the leaders of Batinis to convince follower to give their assent emasculation.

In a discussion between Musa Neishaburi (a newcomer to Alamut castle) and Shirzad Fahestani (commander of Alamut castle), Fahestani made an attempt to justify the reason why members of Alamut castle had to be emasculated, stating:

Emasculation is a kind of test, an assessment to find out whether a disciple is ready to sacrifice everything for his faith and Batinist brothers as well. It is not so difficult to sacrifice one’s life since there are many who freely offer to die on the rise of emotions. But it is too difficult to have control over one’s lusts. It is a touchstone to test the extent of one’s sacrifice of his lusts for the cause and interests of the group. 1

The devoted followers were required to give up sexual urges and yearn to prove loyalty to the group and leadership. An idea prevailed that the disciples had to act like bees that thought of nothing but their own duty and who had to serve the leader, Hasan Sabbah, at the top of the hierarchy and whose advantages were beyond anybody’s reach and question. In the course of their controversy, Musa asked Shirzad why Hasan Sabbah was excluded from what others had no rights to. He said:

‘You told me yesterday that the Lord of Alamut is married. You meant why you cannot get married while he can. Have you read the Arabic books on bees in the school of Nezamieh?’ Musa answered, ‘Yes, I have’. Shirzad asked him, ‘what was written there about their breeding?’ Musa answered: ‘bumblebees are killed and the females remain alive.’ Shirzad stated, ‘it is so since after that bees engage in nothing but making honey. Likewise, absolute devotees have to make efforts just to do the duties appointed for them. Batinist devotees should not be considered inferior to that of bees. 2

Musa was not convinced and asked for more explanation calling sterilization a kind of heresy. Here Khorshid-kolah, another theoretician of the cult of Hasan Sabbah, referred to issues like the requirements of that particular period of time and the omniscience of their leader as two more grounds demanding the process of sterilization:

Our lord is an all-knowing vicegerent and thus he can issue orders not issued before. Each time has its own necessities and now is a time when followers have to be made without posterity to think of nothing but being sacrificed for their faith. 3

In addition to theoretical reasoning, cult leaders resort to other levers in order to convince initiates to stay with the cult, or in Batinists case, submit to be emasculated. Hardly a Batinist initiate wished to withdraw after experiencing the pleasures offered to him but doubt was unforgivable and could be deterred only by death. As observed in the dialogue between Musa and Fahestani:

Shirzad looked at young Musa and said, ‘have you changed your mind to be an absolute devotee?’ He answered, ‘not yet discouraged but in doubt.’ Shirzad said that doubt leads to withdrawal. Musa asked him what came if he refused to join the group and the commander answered, ‘Then, we will kill you.’ 4

Altogether, there were many more threats of retribution than promises of felicity and the general tone was uncompromising and tough. Candidates for initiation would have needed to be serious and determined and allegiance had to be unquestionably blind. The following argument of Fahestani on the fact that a follower was not allowed to have contention concerning the issued orders of the leaders is reminiscent of the reasons mentioned by Rajavi in his lecture on the ideological revolution of Mojahedin in 1980:

The discussion between Musa Neishaburi and Shirzad Fahestani, the commander of Tabas castle, on the philosophy of emasculation came to a point where Shirzad got angry and told Musa, “Are you contending?’ Musa answered, ‘Please forgive me, I wasn’t to contend but I wanted to learn something.’ The commander said, ‘Those who want to learn have no place here to become absolute devotees. You had to learn in the school of Nezamieh where you came from not here. This is a place where you have just to obey what is said.’ 5

The intellectual discrimination is another factor differentiating between leaders and followers. The acknowledged intellectual gifts of a cult leader frustrate any form of raised controversy by followers; he is the one whose wisdom rationalizes what might be irrational to others:

One of the members of the castle called Khorshid-kolah told Musa, ‘Do you think you understand more than others do and those who have consented to be emasculated do not understand? Sometimes only one among hundred thousands is intellectually gifted. This is the reason why only a handful of men in a generation become scientists. God grants not wisdom to all humans equally. 6

Then, why enforced emasculation in the cult of Batinis could not take the form of hysterectomy in the cult of Mojahedin? Mojahedin too have tried a variety of justification to convince those who underwent the operation. Added to the comments made by Nasrin Ebrahimi on the obligatory illegal action of sterilization practiced within MKO, the law enforces that no experiment have be performed without the consent of participants. Therefore, it is evident that Mojahedin are involved in another law-breaking activity opposed to international codes. According to Dr. Singer:

Professionals engaged in legitimate supervised medical and psychological research are held to certain standards that have been in place since the end of World War II and the establishment of the Nuremberg code of ethics, which states that in any setting where any type of human experimentation is done, the experiment cannot be performed without the informed consent of those who are to be participants. In getting this consent, the experimenters are to explain everything that will or may happen as a consequence of the person’s coming into the experimental program, and the person must be fully capable of understanding those consequences. 7

It seems that none of western legal enforcements can stop violation of human rights by the cult of Mojahedin. The negative consequences of a cultic group’s activity that challenges the social health fails to be a cost totally paid by the public; the responsibility of the governments are even greater since they act as their nations representative to protect them against whatever challenges them regardless of political interests.

Iraq

Iraq Takes over Province from US

Section: General News – Iraq on Wednesday took over from US forces control of the central Shiite province of Wasit. Wasit became the 13th of Iraq’s 18 provinces to be handed over by US-led forces to Baghdad. The swift transfer of some provinces has been facilitated by fall in violence across the country, which observers believe is a result of the transfer of security to the Iraqi government.

"We received today the security responsibility of Wasit province," national security adviser Mowaffak al-Rubaie said at a ceremony held at a football stadium in the provincial capital of Kut, south of Baghdad. He said Wasit had achieved a level of efficiency and ability in civil and security affairs.

The transfer comes within a week of nearby Babil province being returned to the Iraqis. With it, US forces will now retreat to their bases and participate in security operations only at the request of the provincial governor.

Rubaie also announced that "within weeks" Baghdad would take control of the northern oil-rich but ethnically volatile region of Kirkuk and of Salaheddin, the Sunni home province of executed dictator Saddam Hussein.

The US military also remains in control of Baghdad, Nineveh and Diyala. The Diyala province has been home to the anti-Iran terrorist group, the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) since the 1980s.

The MKO is blacklisted by much of the international community, including the United States.

The MKO is on the European Union’s list of terrorist organizations subject to an EU-wide assets freeze, and has been designated by the US government as a foreign terrorist organization. Yet, the MKO puppet leader, Maryam Rajavi, who has residency in France, regularly visits Brussels and despite the ban enjoys full freedom in Europe.

The MKO is behind a slew of assassinations and bombings inside Iran, a number of EU parliamentarians said in a recent letter in which they slammed a British court decision to remove the MKO from the British terror list. The EU officials also added that the group has no public support within Iran because of their role in helping Saddam Hussein in the Iraqi imposed war on Iran (1980-1988).

A May 2005 Human Rights Watch report accused the MKO of running prison camps in Iraq and committing human rights violations.

According to Human Rights Watch report, the outlawed group puts defectors under torture and jail terms.

The group, founded in the 1960s, blended elements of Islamism and Stalinism and participated in the overthrow of the US-backed Shah of Iran in 1979. Ahead of the revolution, the MKO conducted attacks and assassinations against both Iranian and Western targets.

Leaders of the group have been fighting to shed its terrorist tag after a series of bloody anti-Western attacks in the 1970s, and nearly 30 years of violent struggle against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The group started assassination of the citizens and officials after the revolution in a bid to take control of the newly established Islamic Republic. It killed several of Iran’s new leaders in the early years after the revolution, including the then President, Mohammad Ali Rajayee, Prime Minister, Mohammad Javad Bahonar and the Judiciary Chief, Mohammad Hossein Beheshti who were killed in bomb attacks by MKO members in 1981.

The group fled to Iraq in 1986, where it was protected by Saddam Hussein and where it helped the Iraqi dictator suppress Shiite and Kurd uprisings in the country.

The terrorist group joined Saddam’s army during the Iraqi imposed war on Iran (1980-1988) and helped Saddam and killed thousands of Iranian civilians and soldiers during the US-backed Iraqi imposed war on Iran.

Since the 2003 US invasion of Iraq, the group, which now adheres to a pro-free-market philosophy, has been strongly backed by neo-conservatives in the United States, who also argue for the MKO to be taken off the US terror list.
