Sadrist MP urges the expedition of MKO expulsion

An Iraqi Sadrist MP has urged the Iraq’s government to speed up the expulsion of Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK, a.k.a. MKO and PMOI) members from the Arab country.

Reiterating the impossibility of further presence of MKO terrorists in Iraq, the Iraqi parliamentarian said the return of the MKO members to Camp Ashraf is impossible, Habilian Association reported.

Al-Mansouri was quoted by Ashraf News as saying that the MKO terrorist group constitutes a threat to the Iraq’s security, adding, the only option for the group is their immediate expulsion from Iraq.

Hussein al-Mansouri also pointed out that some members of the MKO group are wanted by the police in connection with their crimes under Saddam Hussein.

The Iraqi officials have repeatedly emphasized that the members of the Mujahedin-e Khalq organization, armed and supported by the Iraqi executed dictator Saddam Hussein, pose a real threat to Iraq’s territorial integrity. Hence, the Iraqi government has signed an agreement with the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and head of the UN Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) Martin Kobler to relocate the residents of Camp Ashraf to a temporary transit location where the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) will start a process of refugee status determination, a necessary first step for their expulsion outside Iraq.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

MKO authorizes use of violence against rank and files

The issue of weird and cult-like conduct of the leaders of Mujahedin e-Khalq organization (MKO, a.k.a MEK and NCRI) and their bizarre treatment of other members has been an acknowledged issue.

The MKO authorizes use of violence against its own members. MKO leaders further use acts of violence as a tool for inner-cultish elimination of members who have somehow distanced from the group’s ideology.

Some major and most prominent methods adopted by leaders of terrorist groups such as MKO to keep and extend their dominance include: Removal of opposition, discrediting the disaffected members and naming them as betrayers before and after their removal, slandering the critics and the opposition by false and shameful accusations, surprising inversion of the political or ideological stance, and encouragement of members to humiliate themselves when facing any feelings of obligation, questions or doubts. In this case, the member will turn into a devotee and inculcates himself that he doesn’t have the ability to think and differentiate between things. And that’s just his leader who forms his life and thoughts.

Such occurrences that have taken place in the terrorist MKO are discussed below briefly.

Assassination of Javad Saeidi in autumn 1973 by the so called Muslim leadership of the MKO and assassination of Sharif Vaqefi in spring 1975 by the Marxist leadership of the cult are no different in their natures. Both of these assassinations have taken place as a result of the cult’s belief in Stalinism and physical removal. From the MKO’s point of view, not only such assassinations can’t be blamed, but also they are done to protect the governing principals in the organization. In a cult with such a view, any opposition to the leadership will lead to death and physical removal. Javad Saeidi’s only sin was that he was bold enough to leave the organization. Sharif Vaqefi’s crime was somehow the same and he was assassinated with the excuse of not obeying the organizational orders. It wasn’t just about the fact that they didn’t convert to Marxism.

Some of the members, who didn’t accept the new ideology of the organization, were forced to criticize and somehow humiliate themselves. Some others were forced to go laboring in the southern regions of the city in order to think twice on their ideologies. Some religious members were banned from having weapons and cyanide capsules. As a result of this punishment, the punished member would be easily arrested by the Police if spotted. The members who stood against changing ideology were eliminated if they were too inflexible.

Javad Saeidi was sentenced to death by the organization’s leadership because of his opposition to the organization. He hid in Qom city for a few months but finally he was kidnapped and killed while he was blindfolded.

Some other MKO members assassinated by the order of the cult leaders include: Mahdi Amir Shah Karami, Majid Sharif Vaghefi, Morteza Samadieh Labaf, Rafat Afraz, Mahboubeh afraz, Abdoreza Moniri Javid, Morteza Houdashtian, Hossein Kermanshahi Asl, Mohammad Hasan Abrari Jahromi, Ali Mirza Jafar, Hosein Ahmadi Rohani, Ali Mohebbi, Ahmad Ahmad, Fatemeh Fartouk Zadeh, and Ali Khodaei Sefat and Mohammad Gharzi.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization

Survey: Only 5% of Iranian Americans support MKO

A recent survey of Iranian Americans found that only 5 percent support the terrorist Mujahedin-e Khalq organization (MKO, a.k.a. MEK and NCRI).

According to Habilian Association, the survey released late last week by the Public Affairs Alliance of Iranian Americans (PAAIA), reveals that only 5 percent of a total of 15 percent of Iranian Americans who support opposition groups or figures in Iran support MKO.

The results of this survey truly represent the lack of support for the terrorist MKO group among Iranian patriots who are aware of the MKO’s treasonable acts against the Iranian people and the government of Islamic Republic, including siding with the invader of Iran, Saddam Hussein, during the 1980s and killing and injuring thousands of Iranian innocent civilians.

The extremely long list of MKO’s treasons did not finish in the past decades, but they are actively engaged in anti-Iran struggles.

As Paul Sheldon Foote, Professor at California state university, put it in an interview with Habilian Association, terrorist MKO group is a useful tool for the Israelis “by promoting hatred of Iran, by telling lies about Iran, and by conducting terrorist operations in Iran.”

Mujahedin Khalq; A proxy force

Former U.S. citizens’ assassins, new White House’s neighbors

Mujahedin e-Khalq organization(MKO, a.k.a MEK and NCRI) has got a long list of crimes recorded in its history including torture, murder and assassination of innocent people. Iranians are not their only victims, Iraqi nation has also suffered from MKO’s atrocities during the Intifada of Iraq in 1991.

Assassination of Am Former U.S. citizens’ assassins, new White House’s neighbors erican citizens is another one of MKO’s crimes when they were still in Iran. Despite MKO has formally taken responsibility for these assassinations, not only the Unites States government has not taken proper measures to confront the terrorist group, the Obama administration has also been openly supporting the MKO first by removing its name from the list of foreign terrorist organizations and then in a recent action, MKO’s office has been reopened in Washington D.C just a couple of blocks away from the White House. The United States government has failed to protect its citizens’ rights at least not as good as it claims. Forgetting the fact that MKO has assassinated a number of American citizens in Iran back in the 1970s, is a good proof for this claim.

There are exclusive documents that show the MKO has formally taken the responsibility of assassination of an American citizen named colonel Louis Lee Hawkins in its magazine called “the Mujahed”.

On June 2, 1976, an American colonel was assassinated and two days after that, the MKO took full responsibility of the attack on the issue No. 16 of “the Mujahed”. MKO republished the announcement in which it had taken the responsibility of the attack, on June 4, 1980.

Is the United States government unaware of these assassinations? Certainly the answer is negative. So now the question is how can the people of the United States be assured that these terrorist occurrences won’t take place again? Should the Americans feel safer with assassins of their compatriots living freely next to them?

Regardless of MKO’s status these days, it is clear that neither the basic American citizens’ rights nor the fight against terrorism which has been used by the U.S. government to justify killing thousands of innocent people, matters to Washington.

At the end it should be pointed out that the nature of terrorist organizations won’t be changed by delisting them or by providing them an office just a few blocks away from the White House. American people should always be careful about them.

Massoud Rajavi

Rajavi abused women in the cult: Ex – member

In an interview on December 5, 2012, Zahra Mir Bagheri, former member of MKO’s leadership council, spoke of the tragic fate of women who were murdered in the terrorist Mujahedin e-Khalq organization.

She clearly named people who were involved in those murders and asked the international Human Rights communities to act against these tragic inner-cultish murders.

Revealing the misogynistic nature of Rajavi’s cult, she emphasized she had witnessed killing of women in the leadership council and blamed Massoud and Maryam Rajavi for the secret murders in the cult.

She said Rajavis had issued a death sentence on those women who had decided to escape the cult and after they were detained by Saddam’s security forces, the issued verdicts were executed in any possible ways. She named a number of victims and testified she had witnessed their killing.

Mir Bagheri had revealed the sexual assault on women in the cult before:

“We were called to Massoud by different excuses and we faced celebrations every time. There were no ideological discussions. It was all about Massoud, the ideological leader, and unique relations with him. We were given various gifts such as shower towels, underwear, perfumes and other things which we wouldn’t understand why they were given to us.

We were encouraged by higher ranking members in the council who had gone through all this before, to establish unique emotional connections to Massoud and speak with him romantically. It was always hard for us because we considered all this as an ideological connection.

We thought we couldn’t yet understand it. We thought we had to learn from higher ranking members who had completed these levels before us and that was how our brains were washed deeper. For instance, except those presents, some golden bracelets were also given to us. It was first a bracelet with a picture of Maryam on it. When we were receiving these gifts, Massoud used to touch our hands and that was the beginning. He sometimes joked about it or he would say “just like my own [wife].”

We wouldn’t understand what he was meaning by saying “just like my own” and we used to repeat it. If we had just paid a little more attention we would understand it. It was said before that Massoud and Maryam are not included in mandatory divorces. So we had to go through these levels just like Maryam.

The women in the second layer of leadership council were presented with another bracelet which had a picture of Massoud Rajavi on it. “

Zahra Mir Bagheri was forced to crawl combat-style over a kilometer for hours in the dark to escape Camp Ashraf. Her body was so lacerated and bleeding that the Iraqi soldiers who found her wept on seeing her injuries. She spent several weeks in hospital recovering from this ordeal. In addition she has had to undergo various operations in Germany.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

MKO’s online fundraising; an approach to money laundering

Mujahedin-e Khalq organization (MK MKO's online fundraising; an approach to money laundering O, a.k.a. MEK and NCRI) has launched a page on its website recently, which is dedicated to receiving money from the website visitors titled as “donation”.

This seems to be a notable act since MKO’s traditional approaches of fundraising in the European countries still stand on place. These fundraisings are usually undertaken under the cover of charity works and titled as “social-financial” activities. The group’s TV channel also launches programs named “collaboration” to achieve the same goal.

Many former MKO members, who have defected from the cult, believe the money that the MKO receives from such activities, is not sufficient even for covering a small part of the group’s expenses; recruiting lobbyists from around the world, organizing various conferences on different occasions and the money spent on other activities to promote their goals, are just a portion of their costs. MKO's online fundraising; an approach to money laundering

On the other side, knowing the cult doesn’t enjoy the support of a lot of people who are willing to financially support it, and also that most of their supporters are living outside Iran and it has been a long time since they have been made to pay the group an amount of money monthly, a question is raised about the nature of such an activity at this moment.

There is an initial assumption which is mainly coming from the cult’s critics and its defected members, which is that after Saddam’s fall and the cessation of Ba’ath regime’s financial support, the MKO is now facing a financial crisis and is trying to compensate for it in every possible way including the online fundraising.

But as mentioned before, since the MKO doesn’t enjoy the public support, it won’t be able to raise much money through this means. Although it is a fact that the MKO is suffering from a financial crisis, it doesn’t seem the main reason behind the group’s online fundraising is dealing with the crisis.

On the other hand, since it is possible to create various virtual accounts using different IPs from several countries in the internet, and there are many complicated ways to make the donors look a lot, online fundraising is a good approach for covering the cult’s money laundering activities and also a good way to hide the real sources where the MKO is receiving its money from.

One of the most challenging problems the MKO is now facing, is that the group’s bank accounts and financial transactions are under constant surveillance in Europe and that is why the cult’s ringleaders are trying out all the possible ways to hide their sources of receiving money which are mainly composed of smuggling and illegal businesses.

The cult of Rajavi

MKO tries to keep its brainwashed members in the group

An independent researcher and political analyst has said the Mujahedin-e Khalq organization (MKO, a.k.a. MEK and PMOI) has turned down the Albania’s asylum offer to keep its strength in numbers and hold over rank and files.

“It is not only the US that is plagued by lobbies. Many high ranking politicians and MPs are under the influence of the pro-Israel lobby who currently support the MEK – and have been doing for many years,” Soraya Sepahpour-Ulrich said during an interview with Habilian Association regarding the MKO ringleader’s presence in European countries’ Parliaments.

Earlier last week, MKO claimed its ringleader has had a meeting with 210 MEPs and they somehow spoke in favor of the group.

Earlier in December 2012, Rajavi appeared in France’s National Assembly and called on the French government to recognize the MKO as representative of Iranian people.

Sepahpour, the Public Diplomacy Scholar said the MKO cult has the support of high ranking politicians in the United States, as they do in Europe.

“The authorities are fully aware of what and who these people are,” she added. “But they serve a purpose – to intimidate the government in Iran and to use them — as they do with other terrorists, not only to create mayhem in Iran – but to carry out false flag operations and be recognized as ‘Iranians’ while shifting the blame to the IRI.”

The political commentator pointed out that there is little will to counter MKO members except by individuals who don’t necessarily have the funds and some who lack the courage to speak out, adding that she has tried to speak about the terrorist group in a couple of her interviews and op-ed pieces.

Concerning the Albania’s resettlement offer to over 200 members of the MKO, Sepahpour mentioned that this country “is in America’s pocket.” “It has received millions upon millions to ‘remake’ itself and to help its economy for over a decade.”

“There is a world of information on US aid to Albania.” “And without a doubt, this ‘aid’ brings with it obligations towards the US – one of which may well have been a demand made on Albania by the US to take in the MEK.”

Finally, she opined on the MKO’s turning down of the offer, and said in order to keep its power and strength, MKO makes every effort to keep its brainwashed and manipulated members in the group, so that they not only keep an eye on each other, but feed each other’s frenzy, and as a unit (group, cult) their obedience to Rajavi remain unquestionable and indisputable.

There are many more factors in the cult behavior which may answer why they turned down Albania’s offer. My guess is, someone high up the ladder told them to decline, and it was not the decision of the individual 200+ members. They want to keep their strength in numbers, and their hold over the members.

Iraq

Mukhtar Army lying in ambush for MKO

Blaming MKO for involvement in the recent political instability in Iraq, head of a newly established militant group in Iraq took responsibility for the February 9 mortar attack on Camp Liberty, which temporarily houses some 3000 members of the terrorist Mujahedin-e Khalq organization.

According to Habilian Association, head of Mukhtar Army Wathiq al-Battat, in his interview with Al-Mada Press, did not rule out the possibility of further attacks on Camp Liberty, and underscored that they are in ambush for the terrorist MKO group until they leave Iraq.

Camp Liberty, formerly a US base which is now the temporary home for about 3000 MKO members, came under mortar attack on February 9, 2013, leaving a number of MKO members dead and injured.

From the very first hours, MKO started condemning Iran for carrying out the attack, but Iranian foreign ministry spokesman denied the allegations and said Iran has nothing to do with it.

In a separate interview with the Associated Press on Tuesday, al-Battat said, “It is time for the people of the MEK to leave Iraq. We have demanded that the government kick the group out of the country, but the Iraqi government did not respond positively to our demand” he said.

The Iraqi cleric said the MKO’s presence in Iraq poses a “big threat” to Iraq and the lives of Iraqi people.

Iraq

Iraqi people would never tolerate the MKO

Iraqi professor: USA and a few Iraqi officials back the Mujahedin e-Khalq organization and try to keep the terrorist group in Iraq for a while.

Referring to the U.S. role in the region’s instabilities, Seyyed Mohammad Javad Hasheminejad addressed the Iraqi people would never tolerate the MKO recent developments in the region and threats facing the nations in a friendly meeting with a delegation of Iraqi university Professors and scholars and said: “After the new Iraqi government came to power, the Americans found the developments in Iraq against their will and started to support and enhance terrorist groups to destroy the country’s security, they promoted the very same thing they had apparently came to fight.”

Habilian’s Secretary General added: “One of the most destructive terrorist groups in Iraq is Mujahedin e-Khalq organization. As though the group is acknowledged by the USA and other western countries as the sample of murder and crime and it is hated by Iraqi and Iranian nations since it has assassinated many innocent people in both countries, the United States is MEK’s most prominent supporter in Iraq.”

After Hasheminejad’s speech, Ali Abood Ne’emeh, a member of the Iraqi delegation, pointed out recent Islamic movements and said: “We believe the Islamic movements in Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq,… wouldn’t have succeeded without Islamic Republic of Iran’s help and support and we have to thank you for this. We also appreciate our leaders who had a very impressive role in the movement of people.

Dr. Rashid Hussein, a university professor in Iraq, referred to the deep, ancient ties between Iran and Iraq and said:” Of course sometimes foreign factors cause problems for the ties between the two countries, but whenever these foreign factors are removed, the ties will be normal again.”

In another part of his speech he addressed the Imperial governments’ wickedness and stated: “The conspiracy of imperial governments is too obvious in the region and it has always existed. What is now happening in the Islamic Wakening countries is a good proof for this. These are due to foreign and imperial intervention.

Dr. Hussein added: “The Iraqi people don’t ever tolerate the MEK, but unfortunately some Iraqi officials and the United States back the group and want them to stay in Iraq for a while.”

He pointed out the American propaganda and said: “We know what the USA is seeking in the world. But unfortunately they are using their propaganda machines and false advertisement to claim they have come to Iraq for Human Rights. They can easily promote themselves since the media is at their disposal.”

At the end Dr.Rashid Hussein appreciated Habilian Association’s activities and included: “We are very happy to see NGOs are so active in Iran and hope we can use Iran’s experience in this field in our country. We are still at the beginning in Iraq. It is such a useful experience. Specifically about Habilian, it is so nice to support families of the people who have sacrificed themselves for your country. This would encourage Iranian people for further sacrifices in the future.”

Mujahedin Khalq; A proxy force

US needs MKO to create tension in the region

Former top inspector of the Iraqi ministry of agriculture said the current troubles which oppressing powers like US needs MKO to create tension in the region the Zionist regime are creating for the Islamic Republic of Iran is not a new thing and they have tried this since the beginning of the revolution.

Mohsen Mousavi made the remarks during a meeting of a delegation of Iraqi officials, scholars and university professors with Seyyed Mohammad Javad Hasheminejad Secretary General of Habilian Association in Mashhad.

Seyyed Mohammad Javad Hasheminejad started the meeting with a brief on the recent developments in the region and awakening of the Islamic nations.

Referring to the colonial role of western governments during the past decades, he said: “Whenever the front opposing oppressive powers has been comprised of governments that enjoy little or no support from their people, the result has been nothing but a total failure for them. But, where the nations have confronted the colonizers, success has been achieved and the enemy heavily defeated.”

Mr.Hasheminejad pointed out the close and historic relationship between the two Iranian and Iraqi nations and expressed: “The two nations have long been in contact so the enemies have tried to separate them. But we can see although the ties between them had been practically cut for 40 years, the two nations welcomed each other after the fall of Saddam’s Ba’ath regime.”

Habilian SG also pointed out the western governments’ aim, specifically the U.S. government’s, to create separations between the nations in the region including Iran and Iraq and said: “The U.S. needs mercenary terrorist groups such as the Mujahedin e-Khaql organization. When the U.S Army occupied Iraq, it lacked the knowledge on Iraqi tribes and groups, so the MEK which had long stayed in Iraq, was used by the U.S Army for terrorist operations and training other terrorist groups.

Appreciating Habilian Secretary General for his beneficial details on terrorist MEK and U.S. colonial plans in the region, Seyyed Saber al-Hosseini, the head of Iraqi center for strategic studies, highlighted some activities of his center and said: “The center for Strategic Studies of Iraq has executed very good plans to reveal MEK’s crimes inside and outside Iraq. These activities include Satellite TV programs and brochures in Iraqi universities. Mobilizing people and rallying towards MEK camps has been another activity we have done several times during the past recent years.

He reiterated: “The terrorist MEK had a major role in suppression of the honorable Iranian nation and also the Iraqi nation at the Sha’abanieh Intifada as the Saddam’s striking arm. “

The Iraqi scholar referred to the problems on the way to expel the MEK and said: “You are aware the Iraqi administration is not all united and this is the reason of some problems created. Some people are after returning Iraq to the Saddam era.”

In another part of his speech, Saber al-Hosseini said: “We hope Habilian Association has a good connection to the institutes working in Iraq on terrorism. The two nations’ martyrs have had common goals which could be the interface between the nations. About 250 thousand of the Iraqi people were martyred by Saddam regime because they didn’t take part in the war against Iran. This shows Iraqi people were not willing for this war to take place.”

Mohsen Mousavi, former top investigator of Iraqi ministry of agriculture, pointed out the victory of Iranian Islamic revolution led by Imam Khomeini and the struggles in the beginning of the revolution which shed light on the nature of different groups and also the efforts from oppressing powers including the Zionist regime against Islamic Republic and said: “The current troubles these powers are creating for the Islamic Republic of Iran is not a new thing and they have tried this since the beginning of the revolution. What has changed, is the direct presence of U.S. and Israel in the region. The result of this presence is that we can see numerous terrorist groups supported by western powers.

Referring to MEK’s status in Iraq he said: “The MEK is all surrounded and its activities are watched. They can’t do anything in Iraq, but unfortunately there are other political movements and parties in Iraq which are after destabilizing the country with the support of the U.S. and Israel. Financial support of these groups is continuous and not limited. Unfortunately, this is harmful for some popular political groups that are seeking new fields of activity. These terrorist acts hinder their activities.”

Former top investigator of Iraqi ministry of agriculture described the ties between the two nations as inseparable and said: “Naturally, these terrorist groups’ activities are an effort to cut the ties between the Islamic republic of Iran and government of Iraq. The U.S. failure in Iraq has been one of the reasons for harsh economic blockade against the Islamic Republic. “

At the end, Mousavi said: “Number of people killed after Saddam’s fall in Iraq is way more than number of the people killed before and even during the Saddam era. We hope a certain framework is created between us. Not only for the MEK threat, but also for opposing any common threats the both nations are facing in the region.”

At the end of the meeting, Seyyed Mohammad Javad Hasheminejad referred to the various aspects of MEK’s presence in the region and their destructive role and said: “Two issues must be addressed about the MEK. First of all they are still in the region and surrounded. But this is not all the problem. According to our Iraqi friends, there are several people in the Iraqi administration and Parliament who support them. Several Iraqi newspapers have taken money from them, so they also support the MEK. This is their destructive role. Unarmed MEK is far more dangerous than armed MEK.”

Hasheminejad continued: “The MEK is now seeking to destroy nations by highlighting their differences instead of just assassinating people. Anything leading to increment of tensions between the two countries is welcomed by them and this is the very destructive role of the MEK and one of the reasons why the U.S. is trying hard to keep them in Iraq. Another reason for the U.S. to try to keep the terrorist group in Iraq is to stop the MEK members from entering the United States. They are also well aware how dangerous these people can be.”
