Discredited MKO and British Servicemen’s Human Rights

It seems that the announcement of Iran’s achievement in producing nuclear fuel has had deep impact on political atmosphere surrounding the nuclear issue.

Amazingly, the biggest impact appeared in sudden change in MKO’s warnings on Iranian nuclear threat, which turned to the issue of human rights and its violation by Iran during Iran’s detainment of British sailors.

Remnants of Rajavi shocked by the Iranians’ move (to free sailors) try to start psychological war around the issue in order to cover their failure.

These gestures by the cult come at a time when Abbas Dawari, a member of MKO’s Gestapo, refused to use "Persian Gulf" in his interview with Al-Watan newspaper.

In a nai’ve effort, remnants of Rajavi, who are seeking revenge on HRW (for exposing MKO’s abuses) and try to criticize Europeans for not accepting the ruling of the "court of first instance", exaggerate the issue of British sailor’s detention and its humanitarian affairs. However, they donâ€™t care about other dimension of the issue; for instance, they ignore Sky News’s report on espionage mission of sailors in the Iranian waters.

On the other hand, it seems that discredited gang of Rajavi is trying to use this issue to extend it to its own affairs and convince the public opinion that revelations by its arrested members are made under force and pressure.

This tactic is also condemned to failure and humiliation for the group. British officials are well aware that British sailors’ confessions were not made by force but by the fact that they had really violated border rules.

However, sudden change in MKO’s tactics- from nuclear issue to humanitarian affairs- reveals hysteric policies of the cult that now denies its own claims!

This behavior by the cult shows that Iranian achievement at this time can change political equations and restrict MKO’s maneuvers and strip them of their gifts for Zionist lobby. Therefore, they have forgotten the nuclear issue and cry for British sailors.

Terrorist groups and the MEK

MKO trains Al Qaeda in Iraq

MKO’s military facilities, backed by US army, are currently used as safe training camps for hundreds of Al Qaeda terrorists preparing themselves for attacks which have claimed thousands of civilian lives after the US-led invasion of the country in 2003, IRNA reported.

In the eastern Iraqi province of Diala, local political figures and army officers have raised concerns about the deteriorating security conditions in the area due to the presence of MKO’s terror centers, Iraq’s Patriotic Union of Kurdistan quoted local sources as saying.

Iraqi security forces have recently detained 15 terrorists active in these bases and seized several video tapes and CDs which show them training for terrorist missions in Baquba and Khalis, eastern Iraq, an Iraqi security officer speaking on condition of anonymity said.

The detained terrorists confessed they were intent on selling these tapes and videos to some recognized Arabic news channels in the region, he said.

Former members of the MEK

Open Letter to the Iraqi President,

Dear Mr Talebani, President of the Republic of Iraq We would like to draw your attention to the fact that after 4 years from the time of disarmament of the Rajavi cult in your country, around 3000 members of the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation (MKO) are still being kept in a camp near Khales, (Diyali Province) called ASHRAF. Many of these people, who are considered as the body of this cultish organisation, have themselves experienced the physical and mental torture imposed on the members by the leaders of the cult. Due to the cult practices, these people have been denied their basic human rights including the right to have contact with the outside world and/or their family members. As you yourself, even in the time of Saddam Hussein’s rule, used to emphasise,”The account of the leaders of the Mojahedin Khalq should be separated from the ordinary members of the cult”. We would also like to draw your attention to the fact that out of 800 people who have managed to escape the cult about 200 are still kept in the adjacent camp called TIPF. Although the disaffected members have clearly denounced violence and terrorism, their faiths still not clear. Dear Mr President, Sabz Association was established by some ex-members and ex-officials of the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation (Rajavi cult) who now reside in European countries. One of our aims is to help our friends who have been taken hostage by the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation (Rajavi Cult). Our aim is to help these people to integrate back into society and start a new normal life away from the cult and violence. Dear Sir, A family of one of these hostages has recently revealed that during his contact with the US army, who along side Bulgarian forces are protecting the existence of the Mojahedin terrorist group in Iraq (the family has been trying to contact their loved one for the past decade), unfortunately the US personnel in charge (in Ashraf camp) has asked the family to directly contact the Mojahedin safe houses in Europe and ask permission from them to visit their loved one. (The written document is available and can be produced upon request). The family have taken the matter to the American Embassy in their country of residence and have officially protested the suggestion of contacting a proscribed terrorist organisation in Europe . The American embassy has declined to answer any further questions upon receiving a copy of the document. Similar situations have been reported by other families residing in European and North American countries. We would be grateful if you would nominate someone for further investigation into this matter, in which case we would be more than happy to put the officials in contact with the families and related documents. Dear Mr President, Four years after the fall of Saddam Hussein and the establishment of the democratically elected government of , it is questionable why the demand of these families to have access to their loved ones is being ignored. You are of course aware that history will judge the willing coalition led by United State of America in a completely different way than judging your good self and your elected Iraqi government. And you are of course aware that the expectation of the people in the region from you and your government is different from their expectation from the coalition forces. You are aware that the desperate families of these captives before having any hope of help from the American army are looking for help from their Iraqi brothers. Dear Mr Talebani, We urge you to intervene to end this harsh bizarre situation according to conditions set out by the Fourth Geneva Convention (under which the US claims to be holding the captured individuals) to guarantee the expected access of the families to their loved ones without the presence of the leaders of the Mojahedin cult, outside the perimeters of Camp ASHRAF, as even in the very exceptional occasions where there has been a brief meeting between the detainees and their families, the Mojahedin leader have been present and the individuals are visibly afraid of talking openly and privately with their families.

With our warmest wishes, Iran-Sabz Association April 2007

The cult of Rajavi

HOW TO DETERMINE IF A GROUP IS A DESTRUCTIVE CULT

HOW TO DETERMINE IF A GROUP IS A DESTRUCTIVE CULT

Cómo determinar si un grupo es un culto destructivo

Q) Anybody can unfairly attack a group they disagree with by calling it a cult or saying they are using coercive mind control. How does FACTNet prevent this type of problem and determine fairly whether or not a group is a cult?

A) FACTNet uses specific criteria to determine if a mind control system has been used, and does not suggest organizations are destructive or dangerous cults without careful research and determination that the evidence fits definite criteria. These criteria are threefold.

The first set of criteria comes from the group’ use of a specific set of mind control tactics. Please see "A technical overview of mind control tactics" at http://www.factnet.org/rancho1.htm for details or see http://www.factnet.org/coercivemindcontrol.html for a shorter version. These two documents are derived from the work of Dr. Margaret Singer professor emeritus at the University of California at Berkeley the acknowledged leading authority in the world on mind control and cults.

The second set of criteria has to do with defining other common elements of mind control systems, as defined by Robert Jay Lifton’s eight point model of thought reform. Please see "Robert Jay Lifton’s Eight Point Model of Thought Reform" also at http://www.factnet.org/rancho1.htm. If most points in this model are being used in a cultic organization, it is most likely a dangerous and destructive cult.

The third set of criteria has to do with defining common elements of destructive and dangerous cults. The following section will help clarify what some of those specific elements and criteria are.

Common Properties of Potentially Destructive and Dangerous Cults

The cult is authoritarian in its power structure. The leader is regarded as the supreme authority. He or she may delegate certain power to a few subordinates for the purpose of seeing that members adhere to the leader’s wishes and roles. There is no appeal outside of his or her system to greater systems of justice. For example, if a school teacher feels unjustly treated by a principal, appeals can be made. In a cult, the leader claims to have the only and final ruling on all matters.

The cult’s leaders tend to be charismatic, determined, and

domineering. They persuade followers to drop their families, jobs, careers, and friends to follow them. They (not the individual) then take over control of their followers’ possessions, money, and lives.

The cult’s leaders are self-appointed, messianic persons who claim to have a special mission in life. For example, the flying saucer cult leaders claim that people from outer space have commissioned them to lead people to special places to await a space ship.

The cult’s leaders center the veneration of members upon themselves. Priests, rabbis, ministers, democratic leaders, and leaders of genuinely altruistic movements keep the veneration of adherents focused on God, abstract principles, and group purposes. Cult leaders, in contrast, keep the focus of love, devotion, and allegiance on themselves.

The cult tends to be totalitarian in its control of the behavior of its members. Cults are likely to dictate in great detail what members wear, eat, when and where they work, sleep, and bathe-as well as what to believe, think, and say.

The cult tends to have a double set of ethics. Members are urged to be open and honest within the group, and confess all to the leaders. On the other hand, they are encouraged to deceive and manipulate outsiders or nonmembers. Established religions teach members to be honest and truthful to all, and to abide by one set of ethics.

The cult has basically only two purposes, recruiting new members and fund-raising. Established religions and altruistic movements may also recruit and raise funds. However, their sole purpose is not to grow larger; such groups have the goals to better the lives of their members and mankind in general. The cults may claim to make social contributions, but in actuality these remain mere claims, or gestures. Their focus is always dominated by recruiting new members and fund-raising.

The cult appears to be innovative and exclusive. The leader claims to be breaking with tradition, offering something novel, and instituting the only viable system for change that will solve life’s problems or the world’s ills. While claiming this, the cult then surreptitiously uses systems of psychological coercion on its members to inhibit their ability to examine the actual validity of the claims of the leader and the cult.

MKO Condolence Going to a Killed Supporter

The war-torn Iraq is the scene of many terrorist activities that perishes the innocent Iraqi people daily. On April 12, 2007, al-Qaeda accepted the responsibility of a terrorist bombing at the Iraqi parliament that is reported to have killed eight and injured more that twenty.

The operation was resented and condemned by the majority of the Iraqi factions and all those that see terrorism a threat against humanity and believe that a stabilized Iraq is possible only if a joint move is made to uproot the terrorists in Iraq.

Being a proscribed terrorist group that its existence depends on a continuation of disorder in Iraq, MKO was among the last ones to condemn the bombing. The only position the group took, before condemning the move, was its she-guru’s expression of condolences on the Iraqi MP Mohammad Hossein Awadh’s death that was killed in the bombing.

Maryam Rajavi’s condolences is an expression of a great regret at losing an advocate among the Iraqi Parliamentarians rather than condemning a terrorist move that caused the death of some other parliamentarians besides Mr. Awadh. As she referred to in her message of condolence, he strongly defended “the presence of Mojahedin in Iraq and their rights for political asylum as an essential foundation for democracy in Iraq”.

Iraq

The Border Closed to Stop MKO

According to a report by institute for War & Peace Reporting the Iraqi government ordered the Munthiriya crossing point to be closed on February 15.

Although the closure of a major crossing point on the Iraq-Iran border is considered by some senior Kurdish figures as an attempt by the government to undermine the Iraqi-Kurdistan region, the Iraqi government insists that the closure of Munthiriya was a security measure to prevent the moves of MKO and other terrorist groups.

The Munthiriya was an international crossing-border and the Kurdish officials say its closure negatively influences the economy of Kurdistan and stops its development.

Abas al-Bayati, a member of the security and defense committee in the Iraqi government, reiterated that the closure of Munthiriya was due to security concerns along the border.

"There are movements of Mujahideen al-Khalq (an Iranian opposition group) and some other armed groups," he said, adding that Iraqi troops had been deployed along the Iranian border in Dyala province to combat these groups.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

Support for MKO? Expect Disaster!

The MKO, which is totally different from what it claims, once had the following organization:

– Leadership, chief and different councils,

– President in exile (Maryam Rajavi, wife of Massoud Rajavi),

– Organized army (leader and chief of staff) which enjoyed heavy weapons and equipments including helicopter, tank, artillery, modern automatic guns, â€¦ besides thousands of trained soldiers with hundreds of female soldiers leading groups of men,

– Wide financial sources,

– Strong presence around the world, including Paris where Maryam Rajavi and a number of MKO leaders live,

– Lots of supporters across the world,

This group was very close to the former regime of Iraq for a long time so that Saddam Hussein gave them several camps. Former officials provided them with unlimited support for the group. All this was a result of believing in the old idea that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend".

The army of MKO had several camps across Iraq with the support of Saddam Hussein. The MKO, an Iranian opposition group, has been listed as a terrorist group by the US and EU.

The ideology of MKO is a mixture of Marxism and Shiite Islam. They had bloody clashes with Shah of Iran in which many of the group’s members were killed.

The organization continued its terrorist attacks in Tehran after revolution and even after the election of Mohammed Khatami as president. One of the major terrorist operations by the MKO was the assassination of General Ali Sayyad Shirazi, a senior Iranian official, in 1999.

The MKO was found in 1965 and after going to exile in early 80s, NCRI was founded as its political branch. At first, other opposition groups like Iran’s Democratic party and former Iranian president Bani Sadr joined the council but they left it soon after.

After France expelled the group in 1986, Massoud Rajavi reached an agreement with Iraqi commanders and they settled in Iraq. They established National Liberation Army with the help of Saddam and according to the International Institute of London’s Strategic Researches, 15000, mostly women, joined the MKO at that time. They had 160 tanks and M8 helicopters.

MKO rebels were trained in a closed system so that the members had no personal lives and the leader of the group was considered a charisma. It’s amazing that no news has been published about Massoud Rajavi after the US invasion to Iraq.

Facts on the MKO

This organization was founded in 1960 by a group of university students. Being influential, the group gradually turned to the biggest Iranian opposition group. The history of the group is full of opposition to the West and operations against Iranian interest inside and outside the country.

During 70s, the MKO conducted many terrorist attacks and killed American civilians and military contractors in Iraq. It also backed take over of US embassy in Iran.

In 1986, the organization was expelled from France and it settled in Iraq. Backed financially and logistically by Saddam, the MKO took part in suppressing Kurds and other minorities in Iraq’s Kurdistan and served Saddam Hussein as a powerful army.

In April 1992, it conducted attacks against Iranian embassies in 13 countries and extended its attacks inside Iran, including 3 terrorist operation in January 1998, which led to the death of 3 civilians and former head of Evin prison, Assadollah Lajevardi.

In April 1999, Iran’s Army chief of Staff, General Sayyad Shirazi was assassinated by the group. Following this, European countries listed the MKO as a terrorist organization and froze its assets.

The organization claims to have stopped its terrorist operations since 2001 and that it no longer conducts terrorist attacks against Iran from Iraq. However, it’s still a terrorist organization in Britain and the US. Even after Europe’s court of First Instance issued ruling in the favor of the organization, the spokesman of the court warned about dangers of lifting the group’s name from the list.

Now the questions are:

What’s the purpose of changing policy toward the MKO? Isn’t it a terrorist group? Isn’t it that its properties have been frozen? So, why are some people supporting it?

No one knows, there may be new plots based on supporting the group! Everyone should be aware that supporting this terrorist group can have disastrous consequences.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization's Propaganda System

The Mob Manipulated by the terrorists

Failing to provide any evidence to justify its demand of being removed from the EU terror list, the MKO follows the bizarre policy of orchestrating street circus shows. Much blessed to the large sum of money the cult invests in such occasions, the paid, enthusiastic supporters are always at hand to play patriotism wherever the leaders settle to set up the stage.

There also exist a number of people with problems, living far from their home countries, who are looking for help and who are manipulated by the opportunists. They might be people having difficulty with their seeking or applying for asylum. No need to say that their desperate situation compels them to line up for any group and organization against their will at any promising word.

The small gifts distributed in these street-shows, which are reported to be protesting rallies by Iranian resistance, might attract any passerby. Of course, they have to sing to get the gifts and the signatures are then advertised to be that of the supporters of the group’s demands. Furthermore, rarely anybody protests you if you station a line of the owner-paid mass in front of a private building or office so far as they keep a peaceful mode.

That is what happened in Sydney, Australia on April 7 when the Mojahedin-run media announced its supporters held a picket line asking the European Union to respect the Court ruling. Their activities banned as a terrorist group, no other place rather than the Iranian Refugee Center in Sydney could serve the cult of Mojahedin to hold the picket line.

Interestingly, the president of the Center, while the present lot of Iranians were being abused for the causes of the terrorist MKO, described the European Union’s decision as "surrendering to the requests of the Mullahs in Iran”, condemned any trade with Iran at the cost of Iranian people’s rights, and asked for the removal of the terrorists from the EU list.

The question formed in the minds of the paid sympathizers as ell as many Australian citizens was that why the European Council refused to abide by the ruling of the Court of First Instance of the European Communities and insisted on keeping MKO on its terrorist list? And that, is it possible that the European Communities that are concerned about the security of their people and have the responsibility to confront the threats of the cults and violent gangs are making a mistake?

Mujahedin Khalq 's Function

The Collected Signatures in Support of Terrorism

According to the report by the Cult of Mojahedin, the group’s activists in the Netherlands have already collected 25,000 signatures of Dutch citizens asking for the removal of Mojahedin-e Khalq from the terror list of the EU.

Known as a terrorist group that has transformed into a destructive cult lead at the present by a husband-appointed she-guru, whose husband’s whereabouts is unknown, the group propagates to be representing Iranian people. Hardly the group has any bastion inside Iran and it is known as a society of hypocrites how betrayed their own nation and joined hands with Saddam who let them settle in Iraq to carry out their cross border terrorist operations.

For sure, they said nothing of their past when they were petitioning Dutch citizens and hardly were those signers aware of what they were signing. It was just an act of getting rid of the importunate petitioners in the same way they spared money to slough off the importunate beggars. Explaining about how they collected the signatures, Mojahedin say:

For this cause, sympathizers of the Iranian resistance did not hesitate to spend days in the streets explaining to the Dutch people the human rights situation in Iran and the bargaining led by France and Great Britain with the mullahs’ regime to maintain the PMOI on the terror list.

At a time when the terrorists and destructive cults threaten the social security, no body risks to sign for the release of the terrorists leashed under counter-terrorist laws. Of course, neither the petitioners, against their claim, said to be proscribed terrorists nor the signers ever thought their names would be advertised as the supporters of the terrorists.

Mujahedin Khalq; A proxy force

The US War of Terror

Soraya Sepahpour, an independent Iranian researcher, in her recently published article, A War to Spread Terror, published in opednews.com states that America in its pursuit of global hegemony bears an eerie resemblance to the building of empires in the past. To expand its international dominance and imperialist ambitions, the White House and their neo-con cohorts by declaring ‘a war of terror’ pave the way so they may wipe out whoever stands in the way.

On way to advance imperialist ambitions is having the dissidents and terrorist groups on the payroll. The American’s favorite terrorist group to be used against Iran is Mojahedin-e Khaleg (MEK), aka. MKO, PMOI, NCRI, and cult of Mojahedin. Expounding on MEK and its manipulation by the Bush Administration, Sepahpour says:

In its “war on terror”, this Administration has co-opted terrorists, the Mojahadeen-e Khaleg (MEK). While the American soldiers in Iraq chauffer them around, they are being used to plant seeds of unrest in Iran in order to bring about a regime change.

This group is highly endorsed by neo-conservatives Raymond Tanter, Daniel Pipes and Patrick Clawson of Washington Institute for Near East Policy who praised them as U.S. allies. (Clawson had on one occasion recommended sabotaging the Iranian nuclear plants regardless of the death toll, C-Span, Woodrow Wilson Center 2005).

While the Patriot Act is robbing our freedoms under the myth of protecting us from terrorists, terrorists are being hired by our government to wage war on a sovereign nation. In a report prepared on March 15, 2005 by ‘Center for Policing Terrorism’, the terrorist acts of this group, including but not limited to the killing of Americans, their involvement in the 1979 American Embassy takeover and subsequent hostage crisis, the bombing of 11 Iranian embassies around the globe, and other involvements has been described. Yet this Administration, in his ‘war on terror’, would like these terrorists to be his foot soldiers and to sabotage the regime in Iran, the alleged state sponsor of terrorists.

Having lost their faith in the MEK foot soldiers, or perhaps prompted by impatience, they decided to diversify. Mr. Cheney decided to visit Pakistan and solicit more terrorists in order to cause mayhem in Iran, tear her apart, and separate her children. Pakistani government sources say the secret campaign against Iran by Jundullah was on the agenda when Vice President Dick Cheney met with Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf in February. It seems that the U.S. government has secretly encouraged, advised, and paid for a series of deadly guerrilla raids inside Iran since 2005.
