Milad Ariaee

MKO former member open letter to the US Secretary of state

Mojahedin Khalq have been and are terrorists

Honorable and distinguished Secretary of state of the United States, Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton

Respectfully , first I would like to introduce myself . I am Milad Ariayei who spent more than 20 years of my youth in pmoi and I would like to share my experiences with you about pmoi. the experiences which are the yield and the outcome of my life in there.
I ,as a result of living closely with pmoi , am completely familiar and acquainted with their violent and savage thoughts ,consequently I can inform you about the prospects , outlooks and objectives of this organization and I can be a very useful source of information in this regard and i hope you can utilize my experiences for a better judgment over pmoi file.
I ,as a critic and opposed to such thoughts which has developed in my country and has grown among the opposition groups of Iran and Iranian people , would like to speak to you and as the former member of the central council and committee of this organization, would like to draw your attention to the following vital facts :

Prelude
As you know that the current world has been suffering a lot from the terrorism and the terrorist and fundamentalist thoughts which has jeopardized the routine and normal life of every human beings.

As you know that the terrorist groups with their violent objectives are trying their best to compel and impose their retarded ideology and thoughts to the people and in case of any sign of resistance and opposition to their thoughts they will respond in the bloodiest way possible and they begin to physical removal and assassinate their opponents and anyone who has any dissent with their thoughts and ideology.

Our current world has been confronting with different challenges as a result of This retarded and fundamentalist ideology and thoughts, consequently the responsibility of all the world political figures specially the ones who have more influence in the world than others is doubled . I believe that you as the secretary of state of the United states with your expert diagnosis and timely decision making can beget the condition which the people of the world can live peacefully.
In the Middle East and in one of the most stressful countries of the world , Iran , the pmoi is one of the terrorist organizations which has been listed and designated as a terrorist organization in the US state department -terrorist list since 1997and since then This organization has tried its best to escape from justice by changing its face. Pmoi in the condition which there has not been any changes in its thoughts and objectives ,is trying hard in the current world to reach to its unjust objectives and needs which are wrapped in fake gold , by deceiving the political thoughts and they are ready to sacrifice thousands to reach to their unjust objectives.
Now I would like to inform you about this organization swiftly and simply.

The ideology of pmoi
Pmoi in its ideology and intellectual basis believes in physical removal of its opponents and they do not believe in any political or ideological dialogue with their opponents and they believe that any dialogue with their opponents is futile and fruitless. They believe ideologically that anyone who is killed for their holy objectives and their cause will enter to the paradise.

The formation of pmoi
Pmoi does not have the character , relations, formation or establishment and the leadership of an organization or a democratic party. This organization believes in the spiritual leader or in the Arabic expression , Amirol Momenin.
Massoud Rajavi is the permanent spiritual leader of this current and claims to have connection with the 12th imam (Imam Zaman, The 12th imam of Shiites who is absent and will emerge someday in the current world ) . The spiritual leader of this organization with this way of thinking and ideology never believes in democratic election within its organization and for this reason till he lives he will be the permanent leader and the owner of this organization, consequently he will not be responsive to his members , supporters and even the Iranian people.

This formation and establishment runs like a confined religious cult(sect) which does not believe in the freedom of thoughts, votes , and public opinion and it tries its best to impose its will upon others.
In Massoud Rajavi’s ideology and beliefs , he is the only one who has the ability to know the facts of our current world and he is the only one who can understand the reality of creation , universe and political relations.
The leadership in this organization is sacred and the leadership is a belief and it is not a political matter and in comparison with Bin Laden , the political and spiritual leader of Al Qaeda, Massoud Rajavi has the same position as Bin Laden had.

Pmoi and the issue of freedom and democracy
-The pmoi internal relations is based on religious beliefs and like the other ideological systems , they are not committed to any principled and fundamental basis of human rights, the definite freedoms mentioned in the United Nation’s charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
-The dissidents and critics are severely suppressed and oppressed inside the pmoi relations.
-There is no individual and personal security and safety for the critics inside pmoi relations.
-The dissidents are confronted with harassment , insult, humiliation , torture and imprisonment.
-The individual freedom , the humane prestige and personality , individual security and safety, right to freedom of marriage and divorce and freedom of expression and opinion are all severely suppressed.
– They are so called courts of law inside pmoi for the dissidents and critics who desire to leave and maximum punishment is the death penalty.

The management systems and practices in pmoi

There is no communication whatsoever between the members of this organization with the outside world and any means such as radio , television , newspaper and magazines are not provided for the members. The intellectual and political feeding is carried out just by pmoi news sources such as internal bulletin , training within the organization, and closed circuit televisions .

Nobody has the right to discuss about politics and political issues. Any connection between 2 friends and family is completely forbidden. such connections are labeled as liberal links and they are totally forbidden. Gathering of 2 or 3 persons out of pmoi supervision is completely forbidden and will have harsh consequences for the perpetrators.
The only way that we can value the pmoi internal relations is to compare their relations with the similar ideology in the medieval.

Madam Secretary of State

It is unbelievable but you should know that in 21 century inside the pmoi relations nobody is allowed to have a radio and nobody is allowed to listen to the news and the only way that the members of pmoi can receive news is by pmoi formal channels.
Nobody inside the pmoi relations has no rights and everything in pmoi is compulsory and obligatory. Every person who enters to pmoi relations should be completely obedient and devoted.

Reading book in pmoi relations is completely forbidden and if someone has a passion to read a book he or she will be considered as dissident who wants to leave pmoi. Inside Ashraf garrison , there is a library but it is just for deceiving the guests and outsiders.

Pmoi and how they deal with other characters and Iranian opposition inside and outside of Iran

As a result of Pmoi suppressive and anti democratic nature and character, the pmoi does not recognize any move or action from other political oppositions and instead they attack to those political oppositions offensively . in pmoi point of view there are more than hundred political and open minded activists in United states and European countries who are working for Iranian intelligence service . the pmoi insult and accusations toward Iranian political activists is not confined just to Iranians even Mrs. Madeleine Albright the former Secretary of state of the united states was slandered by pmoi as an agent of Iranian intelligence service. Every one in European parliament or in UK House of Lords also can be insulted , labeled and accused by pmoi as an agent of Iranian intelligence service . It is worth noting that these kind of accusations and insult are pmoi known tactics to escape from the revelation of their real entity and criticism and they have chosen this kind of tactic to escape from being responsive about their past and internal relations.

Pmoi deals and confronts with its opponents and critics in European countries by intimidation, slander , insult, violence and mace bearing. Up to now more than ten session and meeting of other political opposition and human rights activists have been attacked by the followers of Massoud Rajavi and the participants in those sessions and meetings have been badly beaten up by pmoi followers.

Honorable Mrs. Clinton
I am hoping that by this brief letter I would inform you about pmoi and I would like you to share my experiences about pmoi with your colleagues and experts in state department to determine their accuracy.

I hope that pmoi endeavors in delisting itself from your terrorist list by reading my letter is evaluated and scrutinized . I would like to announce that I am fully ready to answer any question in this regard.

Respectfully
Milad Ariyaei

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

A U turn toward being a political organization

The black tunnel – A U turn toward being a political organization

The Mojahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) believes that keeping the name of this Mr. Milad Ariyaee organization in the list of terrorist organizations is a direct result of a plot between the Iranian regime and European countries. They believe that this ‘black tunnel’ has been created by the Iranian regime and that the organization has no other choice except to follow it to the end in order to come out the other side.

“… The policy of appeasement up to now has given time to the mullahs to proceed with their plans to produce atomic bombs. Of course an external war is not the answer. So could we say that we are stuck in a black tunnel created by the mullahs’ regime? …"

Informed political sources know so well that the MKO has devoted all its resources in the past five years in concentrating on coming of the lists of terrorism; and of course with no success to date.

Now the question is, considering the past five years of activities of the organization would they carry out military attacks against Iran if they have the chance to carry out such attacks successfully? The answer is no. Today’s MKO has reached a point where even if it had the opportunity to carry out successful military actions in Iran, it would not do so. Because any military action by the MKO will damage severely the picture they have tried to portray of themselves over the past seven years in order to get refuge and continue their existence as a political organization in Europe and, although they have not reached this goal yet, we should remember that after Iraq and the fall of the regime of Saddam Hussein, Europe is all that is left for the Mojahedin and this is why they would never carry out any military operations inside Iran at least in the short term.

Of course, this is not to say that the Mojahedin have rejected their original ideas as they try to pretend by signing secretly kept papers behind the closed doors of a court. The realities of today’s world as the MKO put it themselves and blame the Iranians for it is the ‘dark tunnel’ which is forcing the Mojahedin Khalq to change itself from a military to a political organisation.

The future of the MKO will be decided accordingly and the era of the Mojahedin’s military operations inside Iran has apparently come to an end unless the situation in Iraq and in Europe becomes so hard for them that they could no longer follow their aims using peaceful means like gatherings, meetings, etc. In that case they will go back to their original military activities. This is highly unlikely as the European political decision makers do not have this in their minds and, on the contrary, have decided to push the organisation toward using non-violent means.

One should welcome the transformation of an organisation from a military to a political entity. As the former Chancellor of Austria said once, "The hardest day for a rebellious warrior is the day that they take his arms from him and ask him to come to the negotiation table and talk, and he has nothing to say".

It may be that history has left no other way for the Mojahedin except to following the path of the Irish Republican Army. The MKO knows only so well what path they are now on, but do not like to talk about it. They know that they will not be able to answer the hundreds of their members in Iraq. It is better for them to pretend that they have been brought to this path forcefully and they never wanted that. It is of course more interesting when they claim that this is being done by the Iranian regime and not by western strategists. Nevertheless, the creators of this strategy should be congratulated if the outcome of this is the change of a military organisation into a political entity.

The activities of the MKO to be removed from the lists of terrorist groups is the first step towards getting out of the dammed black tunnel which has turned the days of the Mojahedin as dark as nights. By following this strategy is seems that:

1- MKO will find a new legal identity in Europe and this is the time when one can confront a legally recognisable, accountable body which can be brought to justice and can be expected to take responsibility for what it has done in the last quarter century.

2- Many of those captured in Ashraf Camp will have the opportunity to be accepted somewhere in European countries and therefore have more chance of separating from the organisation and, with the existing guarantees by human rights organisations such as the Red Cross, one can expect that with emphasis on their right to think independently and choose independently, they will be able to choose their path for a better future without being forced to return from Iraq to Iran.

3- Above all, by coming off the lists of terrorist organisations, the MKO will become a political organisation and with the change of the head of the organisation one can hope that they would move towards normality and distance themselves from cult culture and cultish practices.

USA

Suspicious attempts to hide the truth

letter of Milad Ariee to the US State Department

To: Iran Desk, US State Department

From Milad Ariaee,

December 7, 2006

With all due respect,

The Mojahedin Khalq Organisation of Iran (MKO) has again started attempts to remove its name from the list of terrorist organisation. The task has been delegated to a law firm, DLA Piper, which purports to have researched the history of MKO and come out with a fresh report about the terrorist cult. The basis for such an attempt and the provider for it is, of course, the MKO itself.

The above mentioned law firm, charging the Mojahedin with the highest fees, is to attempt to whitewash the history of this terrorist organisation. A history that has been an obstacle for the terrorists to enjoy free legal and financial activities. It has been announced that Mr. Richard Armey is heading this so called independent review which is due to be published in the near future.

Any investigation into the involvement of Mojahedin Khalq in terrorism and violence is welcomed, but the law firm employed by the terrorist organisation has adjusted the context of its report according to the needs of its client so that not only would it not allow access to the truth, it is overtly trying to avoid international justice for its client and even attempting to remove them from the list of terrorist organisations.

As you are aware, in 1994, over 20 American academics and experts in relevant issues whose names have been published were asked by the State Department to investigate the MKO and report their findings back to the State Department. And they did.

The deep analysis and investigation by the group into the nature and activities of this organisation resulted in proscription of Mojahedin Khalq Organisation as a terrorist entity by the State Department. Not only was the result of this investigation found to be still valid in 2005, further investigations resulted in keeping the group in the list of terrorists permanently.

Mojahedin’s lawyers (using the MKO’s alias National Council of Resistance of Iran) challenged the foundation of the State Department ruling in 2004 and applied to the court to appeal the ruling. The appeal court announced its verdict as follows:

â€¦the case was investigated on 2nd April 2004, and” on 9th January 2005 a verdict was givenâ€¦ serial Number: 01-1480” complainer: National Council of Resistance” against: State Department and Mr. Colin Powell the Secretary of Stateâ€¦ After the investigation and checking all the documents we believe that the decision of the State Department in classification of Mojahedin Khalq Organisation as a foreign terrorist organisation is in line with constitutional obligations. Therefore the request from National Council of Resistance will be rejected"

It is clear that the law firm DLA Piper and Mr. Richard Armey would not be able to whitewash the history of Mojahedin Khalq Organisation but unfortunately their actions can have the short-term effect of misleading some people and that is why I would like to draw the attention of Iran desk to the following.

The MKO, according to Human Rights Watch report ‘No Exit’ of May 2005, has tortured its own disaffected members and has killed at least two of them under torture in 1994.

The MKO is accused of orchestrating the disappearance of tens of its members between 1985 when they entered Iraq up to 2003 when Saddam Hussein was removed from power.

According to the report given by the French security services, the Mojahedin have been planning to kill their critics on European soil and the marked maps and relevant document were seized by the anti terrorism police from Mojahedin HQ in France.

The Mojahedin Khalq Organisation has never been a political alternative for the people of Iran and for years has worked hand-in-hand with some parts of the Iranian regime to stand in the way of progress, democracy and freedom in Iran.

The Mojahedin Khalq started their terror and violence in the 1970s with the assassination of American attaches including Colonel Hawkins and continued their violent strategy with the use of mortars resulting in the indiscriminate killing of ordinary civilian people in the crowded cities of Iran.

I would like to bring your attention to another important issue. There is no dispute about the strategic relation between the leadership of Mojahedin and the regime of Saddam Hussein during the past two decades. The MKO joined the military and secret forces of the now toppled Iraqi regime and participated in the massacre of people of Iran and Iraq. The toppled Iraqi regime spent millions of dollars from the oil-for-food program in supporting this organisation; money which during the years of sanctions was supposed to be spent for the essentials of Iraqi people. The organisation in return did whatever possible to ensure the political and military survival of Saddam Hussein. The participation in the massacre of Kurdish people in March 1991 can be taken as an example.

Considering the above mentioned points and considering democratic values and the fundamentals of human rights and remembering that MKO has been recognised as a terrorist organisation across the globe, I hope that the activities of Mr. Richard Armey is not an attempt to directly support a terrorist organisation.

MKO starts with the notion that they have never directly carried out terrorism against American personalities. The argument is fraudulent and a non-starter.

– In 1973 Colonel Luis Hawkins, an American army attach was killed in cold blood by Mojahedin in Tehran..

– In 1975, members of Mojahedin Khalq Organisation killed two American air force officers in Tehran and attacked an American embassy car resulting the death of another service man.

– In 1976 Mojahedin killed 3 employees of Rockwell International.

– In 1979, Mojahedin openly supported the kidnapping and holding of American embassy staff up to 1981 when they were released by the Islamic Republic.

The truth is that due to its terrorist nature, you can not trust the Mojahedin as a source in any aspect. Would you trust Hezbollah or Al Qaida?

The rule of ‘passage of time’ does not apply to murderers, war criminals and terrorists and the ones who provide for and support terrorists. That is why the passing of thirty years from the time that they killed the first American does not give amnesty to the Mojahedin. Otherwise it would be as if we accept that the human rights abuses by the government of Cambodia in the 70s can be an excuse for the Khmer Rouge and their violence.

Yours sincerely,

Milad Ariaee
