Families of Liberty residents gathered in front of the camp gates for the sixth time, yesterday afternoon.

This has been the biggest campaign run by families in order to release individuals who are taken as hostages by the Mujahedin Khalq Organization( the MKO/the Cult of Rajavi), although the security situation of Iraq is not proper as well as the weather.

Prince Turki al-Faisal’s hostile remarks against Tehran in the annual gathering of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization and his promises to stand by the MKO seems to be a total failure for both sides of the alliance.
The Saudi policies aimed at destabilizing its rival Islamic Republic –as a powerful neighbor and an influential country in the Muslim world—sounds to have formed new stances that are now overt rather than covert. Prince Turkie who presumably have been authorized by his peers in the Saudi regime cheers up the MKO-gathered audience by saying, “I, too, want the downfall of the regime.”
But, this plain sponsorship for the destructive cult of Rajavi with a dark history of violence and human rights abuse will not work. As the New York-based journalist on U.S. foreign policy, Ali Gharib writes, “If Saudi Arabia is on a quest to paint itself as a responsible actor in the region, the kingdom took a big step backward over the weekend.”[1]
It’s truly “a big step backward” and as Barbara Slavin Acting Director of the Future of Iran Initiative at the Atlantic Council in Washington, asserts in her article on Turkie Feisal’s support for the MKO, “mixing with the MEK is a recipe for disaster and a distraction from the region’s and the world’s real enemy – the group that calls itself the Islamic State.”[2]
Slavin confirms rumors about Saudis’ long-standing support for the MKO, “It’s entirely possible that the Saudis have funded the MEK for years.” [3] So, In case of Turkie and other rich Arab figures MKO’s speaking fees do not create the motivation to take such hostile stances against the Islamic Republic. “The Sunni Gulf states—flush with petrodollars and bearing sectarian grudges against Shiite Iran in a regional battle for hegemonic primacy—have long been suspected as a source of funding for MEK’s lavish spending, but no reliable reports have definitively established where the group gets its cash,” writes Ali Gharib. “Al-Faisal’s public move in support of the group certainly provides one more piece of evidence to link Gulf States to MEK’s financing.”[4]
He explains, “Although MEK is famous for lavishing money on its supporters—paying as much as $50,000 for a short speech and investing in politicians through campaign contributions—al-Faisal, as a member of Saudi Arabia’s super-rich royal family, probably scoffs at the sort of cash MEK offers. Instead, al-Faisal attended for obvious reasons: to put a thumb in Iran’s eye.”[ 5]
Actually, Saudi’s financial and spiritual support for the MKO is already a failed investment because the MKO is notoriously known to Iranians and many others in the international community. “Contrary to the MEK’s claims, there is nothing democratic about this cultist organization, which requires its members to divorce their spouses or remain celibate and engage in Maoist-style struggle sessions of self-humiliation”, Slavin warns. “Those that manage to escape often require long periods of de-programming.” [6]
And this is Ali Gharib’s account about the MKO’s situation among all Iranians in general: “Let’s be blunt: MEK is neither a viable agent for regime change in Iran nor the “government-in-exile” the group pretends to be. They enjoy almost no support among Iranians at home or abroad. Exiled royalists hate them for their terror war against the Shah’s regime and their part in the Islamic Revolution. Inside the country, they are reviled across the political spectrum for siding with Saddam Hussein—and fighting against Iranians—in the Iran-Iraq war.” [7]
The MKO has carried out numerous terrorist attacks against Iranian civilians and government officials over the past three decades. Out of the nearly 17,000 Iranians killed in terrorist attacks since the Islamic Revolution, about 12,000 have fallen victim to MKO’s bombings, mortar attacks and other violent acts.
Robert Macey of the Intercept cites from an Iranian scholar Ariane Tabatabai of Georgetown University _who describes the MKO as “cult-like dissident group”_ what the Iranians feel about the MKO. “If the current government is not Iranians’ first choice for a government, the MEK is not even their last — and for good reason,” tells Ariane Tabatabai to Robert Macey. “Today, the MEK is viewed negatively by most Iranians, who would prefer to maintain the status quo than rush to the arms of what they consider a corrupt, criminal cult.” [8]
Saudi transformation from a sponsor of Syrian rebels particularly ISIS to a state sponsor of the terrorist cult of Rajavi indicates the failure of previous proxy wars and a new endeavor to confron Iran. However, the new choice is not reliable at all. The common enmity for Iran does makes an absolutely idiot alliance.
As a matter of fact, ISIS is losing ground in Syria and Iraq and eventually Saudi Arabia is largely losing the capacities to use terrorist groups against its rival. Thus, the kingdom is beating the dead horse of “the late Massoud Rajavi”.

Seventy-Five Camp Liberty Residents moved to Albania in three groups on June 28th and 29th,Neday-e Haghighat Website reported.
A total number of 372 Camp Liberty residents relocated in Tirana in the last 19 groups of relocations since January 2016.
The first group:
The second group:
The third group:
A number of former members of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO/MEK/the Cult of Rajavi) distributed thousands of booklets, journals, brochures, flyers and posters in Paris.
The defectors of the Cult sought to illuminate hundreds of thousands European citizens who have come to France for Euro Cup 2016, on the true face of the MKO as a terrorist destructive cult.
They launched their campaign to denounce the MKO at different streets and squares and locations including universities, churches, art centers, Eiffel tower, Justice Palace and the City Hall.
Survivors of the Cult of Rajavi handed out dozens of the book “Mujahedin Khalq, a cult in the heart of Paris” written by the French Senator Ms. Nathalie Goulet.
The defectors’ effort to enlighten the European citizens about the threat of the terrorist cult of Rajavi in Europe, was welcomed by the citizens.
Regarding that the MKO was launching its so-called annual Great Gathering on July 9th in Paris, defectors worked hard to warn Europe about the reality of the Mujahedin Khalq, the undemocratic atmosphere ruling this cult and its dark history of violence and human rights abuse.
They want Europe to beware that the MKO cult is neither a political movement nor an opposition group; it’s just a destructive cult that has tricked and victimized some of Iranian youth under its inhumane brainwashing and mind control system.
The large-scale campaign to denounce the MKO cult was going on in Paris and its suburb for more than a week.
Following the terrorist attack in Nice, France, the former speaker of the US House of Representatives called for screening and deportation of Muslims who practice Sharia (Islamic law). He told that "Sharia is incompatible with 
Western civilization” while a few days ago he spoke in the rally of the Mujahedin khalq Organization (the MKO/ the Cult of Rajavi) and declared his sponsorship for this Islamist terrorist cult-like group.
The former presidential candidate of the United States asked for monitoring the mosques. “Where do you think the primary source of recruitment is? Where do you think the primary place of indoctrination is? You’ve got to look at the madrasas (religious schools), if you’re a school which is teaching Sharia, you want to expel it from the country," Gingrich continued. He forgot or denied to notice that the MKO’s camp in Auver sur d’Oise, Paris and also its bases in Tirana and Baghdad are primary places of indoctrinating individuals with reactionary ideas.
The Iranian-American independent researcher, writer and journalist, Soraya Sepahpour Ulrich updated her Facebook status highlighting Gingriches double standard towards radical Islamists:
“The irony! Gingrich demands Moslems be deported from America a couple of days after he attended a rally in France in support of a Moslem Terrorist Cult, the MEK, funded by Wahhabi Saudis! And not a freaking news stations is making the link! Wake up people…”
Mark Dankof, the American correspondent confirmed Soraya by sharing this:
“Wake up, folks. Soraya Sepahpour-Ulrich is absolutely correct. Check out the Rand Corporation report on the MEK. I witnessed their handiwork in Tehran in the 1970s at a funeral for 2 American officers.”
He also said the deadly attack in Nice was the “fault of Western elites who lack the guts to do what is right, to do what is necessary.” Actually, Newt Gingrich himself is one of those Western Elites absolutely “lack the guts to do what is right, to do what is necessary”. He supports the MKO and bows to Maryam Rajavi while the cult-like group under the rule of Rajavi has a horrific background of extremism, violence and terror. should beware about any group or movement that might endanger their civilization. The Cult of Rajavi is definitely one of those groups that is located in the heart of France. Surprisingly, it is free to buy a large number of Western figures to speak in its luxurious gatherings under the cover of freedom and democracy.

Former members of MKO Cult and the group leaders’ critics staged rally in Paris
Defectors and critics of Mujahedin-e Khalq Cult held the protest gathering in Paris Chatelet square on Saturday, July9th, Yaran-e Iran Website reported.
The protest gathering lasted from 11 AM to 4 PM. Defectors of the group who had lost many years of their lives within the cult affairs revealed the group’s true face.
Recounting their ordeals, ex-members exposed the deceptive, inhumane and cultic nature of the MKO. The action welcomed by French citizens as well as Iranians residing there.
Ms. Batoul Soltani, Ms. Homeira Mohammadnejad, Ms. Zahra Moeini and Mr. Issa Azadeh as first hand witnesses, shared their experiences within the cult with the spectators.
Besides, Human rights activists, defectors and critics of Mujahedin-e Khalq cult gathered together at evening of the same day in order to shed light on the true face of Rajavis’ Cult.
Mr. Mostafa Mohammadi whose daughter is held hostage by the MKO, Ms. Batoul Soltani, Ms. Homeria Mohammadnejad, MS. Zahra Moeini, Mr. Aliakbar Rastgou, Mr. Mohammadhussein Sobhani and Mr. Gholam husseinnejad addressed the audiences.
The event took place the same day the MKO Cult held its anniversary propaganda show.
Lebanese journalist and researcher Mr. Nafez Ali Almora’bi who previously was the main Arab lobbyist for the Mujahedin Khalq Organization to mobilize Arab citizens for the group’s gatherings in Europe, refused to attend this year’s MKO gathering in Paris.
The MKO’s annual gathering was held at Bourget-Paris Air show, on Saturday July 9th. Whlie a number of former authorities of the West and the Arab world attended the meeting Mr. Almora’bi denied to attend it because of the group’s ties with Israeli lobbies. He also denounced the group’s masquerade show at Bourget in his Facebook status under the title “Points on the MKO’s conference in Paris”. He tried to illuminate unaware audience about the reality of the MKO propaganda.
Mr. Almora’bi who has several times visited certain former members of the MKO, warns about the MKO’s exaggerated propaganda about the gathering that the group claims to have been attended by over a hundred thousand people. “It is absolutely wrong. In the entire Paris and its suburb there is no such a hall that fits such a population”, he writes. “As I know, the “Stade de France” is the biggest stadium in France which doesn’t have such a capacity. “
Mr. Almora’bi clarifies that political figures who attend the MKO gathering have personal motivations and reasons which is not associated with the real cause of the gathering at all.
The fact that the “rented crowd” are bused to the Paris gathering is also confirmed by Mr. Almora’bi. “The so- called public support which is shown in the group’s media are actually dozens (not hundreds) of Arab refugees particularly Syrians who are brought from all over Europe for a “Free trip to Paris” and were “paid “to attend the celebration”, he states.
Ali Nafez Almora’bi who was once a link between the MKO and Arab political figures, denounces the group’s increasing efforts to associate with Western lobbies and even anti- Arab lobbies.
The Lebanese journalist notifies that the MKO’s lavish gathering is not effective as it has never been in previous decades, although the group was once widely supported by Iraqi former dictator Saddam Hussein.
