10.The MKO story
So far, MKO’s numerous failures have been criticized and even attacked in different comments but there has been no answer from the group’s spokespersons. Instead, they have always tried to justify these failures and to convince their members to forget the issue.
The fact is that they could have used these criticisms to correct their positions. But why this didn’t happen?
The answer is that the only thing that can lead a person to such stupidity is a person’s melancholic illusions about himself. According to such illusions, leaders of Rajavi’s gang think what they do is the best and that they’re free from all faults!
Stupid remnants of Rajavi, in their recent analysis, claimed that the change of US’s strategies in Iraq (an issue that has been vaguely discussed by US officials) is a result of collecting the signatures of 5 million Iraqis by the MKO to prove their support for the group!
The liars of Rajavi don’t think that if this figure was true, an Iraqi official (and not the journals tied to Baathists) would refer to that even once.
Another function of such melancholic illusion could be viewed in Maryam Rajavi’s trip to Belgium. This trip had nothing for the MKO except that MKO members sent the news for a number of journals and analyzed the comments of some Iranian authorities.
However, inside the organization, MKO leaders made stories of this trip and talked about it as if that will solve all their problems.
This melancholic illusion is the one that 25 years ago took the MKO to the domain anarchy and terrorism. Now it can be predicted that this crazy illusion, which has really become incurable, will inevitably lead to the destruction of the group, and many of the members inside Camp Ashraf will have to pay for this destruction.
Irandidban – 2006/11/04
According to Newswire, in a press briefing hosted by the ‘Colorado’s Iranian American Community’, a bi- partisan Congressional Caucus recognized the indispensable role of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI) at Camp Ashraf in Iraq as a natural ally for Iraq’s anti-fundamentalist and democratic forces. Congressmen Bob Filner and Thomas Tancredo the Co-Chairs of Iran Human Rights and Democracy Caucus of the U.S. House of Representatives, presented the Caucus’s bi-partisan policy recommendations.
The US was the fist to blacklist MKO as a terrorist group and closed all its American located offices. While over 3,000 disarmed members of MKO are currently confined to Camp Ashraf under the Geneva Convention’s “protected persons” status and the coalition forces’ control, the organization is active in Western countries and in the US under various aliases. The ‘Colorado’s Iranian American Community’ is one out of the many.
It seems that some supporters of MKO in the Congress consider violence as positive and the terrorists as positive forces to establish democracy. The US State Department in the first sentence to describe MEK as a terrorist group states “The MEK advocates the violent overthrow of the Iranian regime”; the group’s conduction of terrorist activities in the past twenty-five years well accredits the description. Congressman Bob Filner, however, believes that the US must unleash the terrorists that have the potentiality of establishing freedom and democracy in a country where they are most despised:
The terror tag has put several thousand volunteer dissidents in Camp Ashraf in a virtual house-arrest at a time when they could be a much needed positive force for helping Iranians in their quest for freedom and democratic change
It is odd to see that the US blacklists a certain terrorist group on pretext of global war on terror and to safeguard its nation and citizens against the possible terrorist threats, while, at the same time, some Congressmen take part in the same terrorist group’s meetings and recommend it as beneficial to institute peace and democracy in another country. What a democracy would it be if the terrorist were to establish it!

It’s now 90 days that 60 supporters and members of MKO have gathered before the office of UNHCR in Geneva due to the critical situation of this group in Iraq.
The continuation of this move indicates that the leaders of the group are still seeking solutions to overcome the current crisis (for the group) in Iraq.
Also, other activities by the group show that the priority for the MKO leaders is to find a way out of the crisis in Iraq and that all MKO efforts (in order to help the group politically and structurally) have failed so far.
However, MKO’s spokespersons never speak directly of what they are dealing with in Iraq (in order not to worsen the situation of their demoralized members in Camp Ashraf) and the future of the group. They are trying to get out of the crisis that doesn’t seem to have any solutions.
But MKO members’ and supporters’ gathering for 90 days in Geneva can be viewed from two angles:
1. from the viewpoint of Western governments and international community: during this time, none of UNHCR officials have taken any position on the issue in order not to provide a chance for MKO to take advantage. Instead, the comments of some of these officials are totally against the purposes of this gathering. The officials of Red Cross and Western governments have also expressed similar comments, closing all windows on the gang of Rajavi. They have all declared that Iraqi government should decide about the MKO.
2. from domestic viewpoint: although its clear as crystal that the MKO has no popular support inside Iran, with respect to the impacts of this gathering (the continuation of which has been based on MKO’s needs) it should be said that if the group had any support inside the country, there could be a move in support of this act; but there will be no voice in support of the group from inside Iran. The truth is that if people are asked to focus on this issue, there will be nothing for the MKO except trial and prosecution.
Irandidban – 2006/11/04
Whenever confronting an obstacle in its antagonistic campaign against the presence of Iranian authorities and individuals in a country where its political activities is banned, MKO relay on supporters who enjoy a rather good social status. These supporters are mainly found among the parliamentarians who, for certain political and social reasons and even personal interests, consent to advocate an officially blacklisted terrorist, criminal group. Unfortunately, the UK is not an exception, where a handful of parliamentary advocates of MKO sometimes act as its mouthpiece.
Next Tuesday, Mohammad Khatami, the former president of Iran, is to travel to Britain where Sir Menzies Campbell, as chancellor of St Andrews University, is due to confer an honorary degree on him. Discontent with the decision, MKO, its activities prohibited in the UK, importuned its advocates in the House of Lords to talk for it. They include Lord Corbett of Castle Vale, Lord Russell-Johnston, Lord Waddington, Lord Fraser of Carmyllie, and Baroness Harris. Of course, they were granted the needed information to blemish Khatami’s repute and to cancel the visit.
In a letter, prepared by MKO and signed by 12 parliamentarians including the mentioned above, sent to the university, it focuses on Khatami’s involvement in human rights abuses during his presidency. Referring to instances of executions is the main issue MKO usually put its fingers on and which best provokes those who oppose the capital punishment. In their antagonistic remarks, sometimes these people disregard the important fact that other countries’ judicial laws, Iran in this instance, are necessarily incompatible with their own as they might be mainly set on cultural and canonical infrastructure.
Lord Russel-Johnston, a former president of the Council of Europe and an opponent of capital punishment, in his remarks to oppose Khatami’s visit states:
I am proud that, while I was president of the Assembly of the Council of Europe, the council became a capital punishment-free zone. However, execution is a regular activity of the regime that Khatami so recently headed. During the three months of this summer, 66 prisoners were hanged in Iran, 45 of them in public. Most shocking has been the execution of child offenders. During Khatami’s presidency, ten child offenders were executed and a further five have been executed since August 2005.*
I personally do not believe that all executions carried out by the Islamic regime are justifiable. But, for sure, unlike Lord Russel, Iranian people are much more shocked to hear children being offended rather than to see the child offenders being punished. If likes of Lord Russel are concerned about the violated rights of the criminals and child offenders, then, what about the rights of the offended? Granted that MKO follow Lord Russel’s line of creating a capital punishment-free Iran, the criminals and culprits are certainly the mob most eager to hug Rajavi’s gang in Iran.

The successor of inhuman leader of terrorist MKO Maryam Rajavi, following the lines of her ideological leader, sold the blood of 3800 detainees of Camp Ashraf to her own and her husband’s ambitions and to help the survival of the cult.
Maryam Rajavi, in a joint meeting with a number of lawyers in Beligum, threatened non-political legal institutions (such as UNHCR and Red Cross) and said:
"If the UNHCR and the Red Cross neglect their duties regarding the members in Camp Ashraf, there will be irrecoverable disaster."
There’s no doubt that this means that these two international organizations should give in to the hostage-taking by Rajavi and to the ambitions of this terrorist group for staying illegally in Iraq.
Representatives of this terrorist group have repeatedly asked these organizations to find illegal political ways for the group’s staying in Iraq and obey US forces!
In fact, they want these organizations to help the group keep dissident members, which is a very inhuman act.
The meaning of Maryam Rajavi’s recent stance, backed by a number of mercenary lawyers, is that "the MKO will not submit to legal decisions for the expulsion of the group and that if any decision is made against them, each and every MKO member will be forced to set himself on fire or commit suicide.
Rajavi’s gang decided 3 years ago to counter the legal activities for dismantling this terrorist group; to do this, they promised no one will be allowed to leave the camp alive and now that the situation has worsened for them, it seems that they are really preparing the members for such plans.
Irandidban – 2006/10/30
The relationship between the Mojahedeen-e Khaleg (MEK), the West and Iran is a curious one. A fatal attraction that provokes images of a decadent man who must indulge himself in his particular habits in a house of ill-repute; the MEK being the house, with the West maintaining a destructive relationship for the sole purpose of tormenting Iran and Iranians.
For years now I have shuddered every time a Western country has made contact with the MEK; whether it was their spokesperson Jafarzadeh, or with Maryam Rajavi, or some other low-life. Anxiety would fill every conscious hour of my day and even creep into my resting hours and torment me to think that Congress was working on taking these traitors off their Foreign Terrorist Organization list. How could Maryam Rajavi be allowed to live comfortably in a Paris suburb, this woman who is the leader of a terrorist cult? Further, how can she be free to walk into the European parliament, meet with (some) British MPs and be embraced by Belgium Senators?
The West claims to have high moral values and for the past three years, it has been engaged in a ‘war on terror’. America has employed extraordinary means to fight ‘terrorists’, yet when Ahmadinejad delivered his first speech to the United Nations, the US, in spite of its declared values and its proclaimed war on terror, issued visas to the MEK terrorist cult to ensure they would protest Ahmadinejad’s arrival in New York (1) – The ‘house was visited, the US was gratified, Iran tormented’. This has been a pattern for some time. Who knows when it started.
And so the West has become addicted to these visits to the MEK. I say the West but in reality, I am confident that it is ordained by the US. As Iran’s behavior becomes more intransigent, the MEK seem to become more popular, and Maryam Rajavi sees a crown on her head instead of a headscarf. So as Iran keeps adding centrifuges, more and more senators will visit the MEK wanna-be-queen. Embassy doors will be flung open to her and she will no doubt accumulate a great deal of frequent flyer miles.
The strength of this lethal relationship with the MEK has prevailed over the Islam- phobia that is prevalent everywhere in Europe (2). Fear of Islam has manifested itself by rejecting women who choose to wear the Islamic headscarf or other form of hijab. The Islamic cover has become symbolic of a challenge to the Western democracy and secular society. And yet, due to her extraordinary position, Maryam Rajavi’s Islamic headscarf, along with her activities as a cult leader of a terrorist organization is exempt from this rejection. She is welcomed by Europeans – headscarf and all.
In their fervor to torment, they have overlooked the Iranian people. It is important to remember that in the volatile Middle East, the ‘Arab Street’, that is, the Arab public opinion and not their despotic rulers, bear a great deal of hostility towards the West, America in particular. Aside from Israel who is the only US ally because it receives $6 billion a year in aid so that it can go about its destructive business, Iranians are the only other nation in the Middle East who have some degree of amity towards the Americans. Even NATO member Turkey blames and hates America for the recent uprising of the PKK. The relationship the West has adopted with the MEK will not go down well with Iranians.
Iranians have not, and will never forget the treachery of the MEK. They are more hated than any enemy known to them. If the West, led by America, continues its song and dance with the disgraced MEK cult, whatever good will is left among the Iranian people towards the West will quickly dissipate. The West should first uphold its values before it takes it upon itself to attack another country for lacking them. Sleeping with an enemy, the terrorist leader of the MEK, will not benefit anyone.

Re: Serious concern for the safety of our client and our directors
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to you in order to express my deep concerns regarding the safety of our client Mr. Mohammad Mohammadi as well as two directors of our organization including myself.
As Human Right advocacy group it is our foremost duty to question and challenge any system/individual that violates the fundamentals of the charter that we all believe in. In the past few month we were working on behalf of a Canadian Citizen, Mr. Mustafa Mohammadi, and his family to facilitate the freedom of his young daughter from a military camp in Iraq that is under the control of this Iranian political organization known as “Mojahedin e Khalgh” or MEK.
Since the story of this family was picked up by national media and based on the interest expressed by National Post we collaborated with the NP reporter Mr. Stewart Bell, in various capacity from translator to mediator and the result was a five (5) part series that was published from September 23rd to September 28th on the front page of that paper with the mention to our Centre and repeated quotas from us. Needless to say, this report was not written in the favor of this organization.
Since this organization is active in Canada, as known by your office, the local members have informed their other pockets in North America and Europe hence an extensive campaign started against us. The regular attacks on their various media from TV/Radio programs to the papers and Websites accuses us as being the agents of Iranian Regime, a very old and overplayed rhetoric, and asks their members to “deal” with us.
Since the young Mohammad, he is the brother of the girl in camp Ashraf, was kept in that camp against his will for 4 years in the past he was the key witness in preparation of that article. In the recent days and after the continuation of the threats he is very scared about his own safety which makes us uncomfortable too. Since the clear instruction of this organization, as per their leader and stated in many of their publications, is to eliminate any individual who turns against the organization, defector, his concern for his safety is understandable. At the same time I and another director of our Centre Mr. Saeed Soltanpour, a well known journalist in our community, have been included in many of those threats and accusations.
Knowing the volume of the issues you are dealing with we are not requesting any particular protection at this time but merely to inform you about the situation.
Sincerely Yours
Niaz Salimi

According to the incoming reports, a team of members of Rajavi’s gang based in Paris and led by Mohammed Ali Towhidi, have passed European countries to get to Jordan and then Iraq where they have met members of terrorist Al-Qaeda and remnants of Baath party in Ramadi, Al-Amarah and Baqubah. They have discussed a number of issues in the meetings.
According to the reports of an Iraqi source, the discussions were focused on the interference of these elements to prevent the expulsion of MKO from Iraq and the armed protection of MKO members restricted to Camp Ashraf.
This team also carried new guidelines for the Gestapo of Ashraf, which were delivered outside the usual communication channels of the group.
The main message was that the behavior that led to the freedom of Maryam Rajavi in Paris should be repeated. This means "forcing the members to commit suicide and set themselves on fire."
A source close to the NCRI said on the mission:
"These efforts, initiated after restrictions on the MKO in Paris were lifted, include the movements across Europe and traveling to Iraq. Maryam Rajavi’s visit to Belgium which the MKO tried to exaggerate was aimed at diverting the attentions from these secret visits to Iraq."
