Maryam Rajavi is not a democratic opposition leader but she is the evil hand to run the dictatorship of her husband’s cult of personality

Families of the captured members at the MEK camp in Albania wrote a letter to the Director General of the World Health Organization, Dr. Tedros Adhanom, expressing concern about the health of their loved ones seeking help to gain information about their family members.
The text of the letter is as follows:
Dear Dr. Tedros Adhanom
Director General of the World Health Organization
Greetings and best regards,
Congratulations on the occasion of the 7th of April, World Health Day, to you and all your colleagues around the world and wishing a healthy and disease-free world on the year 2021 which is named”Year of the Health and Care Workers”, with the slogan of”Building a fairer, healthier world”.
We would like to inform you that:
Covid-19 virus disease has taken a heavy toll on the world body, and its impact on countries that were previously considered vulnerable before the pandemic has been far greater. These communities, which are more prone to disease, do not have access to adequate health care services and as a result, face many difficulties in controlling the virus.
Your Excellency,
You are well aware that one of these countries is Albania. A country that has housed about 2,500 members of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK, MKO) in a remote and isolated camp outside Tirana.
Since the outbreak of the disease, there is no exact information about the health status of the people living in the camp, despite numerous letters and expressions of concern from the families about the ambiguous health status of the camp, as well as the news that several people died of Covid-19 virus.
On the anniversary of the establishment of the World Health Organization, we, the families of those stationed in the MEK Camp in Albania, are increasingly concerned.
Therefore, in line with this year’s slogan of the World Health Organization, we desperately ask you to help us families to contact and get information about the situation of our loved ones in Albania.

One of the cult-related issues is family. In a destructive cult like the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MEK/ MKO/ PMOI/ Cult Of Rajavi) the destruction of family intimacy is the result of the leader’s absolute influence on members. Members are not allowed to contact their families outside the group.

A large number of MEK members have not contacted their families for over three decades. Many parents have become sick or even died while their children in the cult of Rajavi have not been informed at all.
Roozbeh Atayee is a member of the MEK. His mother Giti Zartoshtian, from Esfahan, Iran, has not visited Roozbeh for twenty years. His father died 15 years ago and the mother is sick now. The MEK leaders dot not want Roozbeh to be aware of his mother’s sickness.
The MEK, very similar to many abusive groups, attempts to either eliminate or destroy emotional bonds between parents and children that might compete for loyalty with the emotional attachments that members feel for leaders, Massoud and Maryam Rajavi.
Leila is the Youngest child of Rahim Kayukan. She was born in 1979, two years before his father, Rahim would leave the entire family behind to join the Mujahedin Khalq Organization, in September 1981. When Rahim left the family other siblings of Leila, Mozhgan, Mehran and Mosen were respectively, 13, 10 and 4 years old. At the time, their mother, Behjat Sediqi was 32 years old and since then she has never been contacted by her husband.
For four decades, Rahim Kayukan has been a member of the Mujahedin Khalq and is in the group’s camp in Albania now. He is one of the thousand Iranians who are kept under the cult-like structure of the Mujahedin Khalq. Rahim was a flight technician of the Iran National Airlines when he was recruited by the MEK. What has stopped Rahim from contacting his wife and children during these long years?
It may seem strange how intelligent people can get caught up in such a bizarre and dangerous cult like the MEK. But the fact is that cults target individuals throughout their life spans and across all socioeconomic groups and backgrounds.”Regrettably, it is impossible to quantify how many people are involved in potentially damaging cultic religions or similar ideological commitments,”Doni Whitsett & Stephen A. Kent assert in a paper on”Cults and Families”.
The authors of the article, referring to a large number of comprehensive books and researches on the issue, attempt to raise the awareness in ways that facilitate the ability of professionals to evaluate the impact of cults on some people who get trapped in these cults. They focus on both families within the cults and families outside of cults that are impacted by the cultic involvement of one or more of their members.
According to Whitsett and Kent,”A frequent consequence of cult involvement—and one that may have dramatic implications for diagnosis and treatment of former members—is the assault that these groups make upon family units among their adherents“. The evidence is officially published on the MEK-run websites from time to time, particularly after, each family member of the MEK adherents try to call on human rights bodies and file appeals against the MEK leaders.
In case of Leila Kayukan, her recent testimony in court made the MEK propaganda agents assault her family by accusing her of being dishonest about her father. This is an official position taken by the MEK vitrines in the social media which is exposed to the outside world. Not mentioning the way they treat members and their families inside the isolated camps of the Cult of Rajavi.
The authors of”Cults and Families”, believe that cult leaders use several factors to break the bonds between members and their families.”These factors include intensive resocialization into the new, deviant beliefs and behaviors; the demonization of people’s pre-cult lives; intense punishment and shaming regimes; restrictions on exogenous social contacts; heavy financial and time commitments; and constant demands to value group commitments over family considerations.”
According to the article, cult leaders impose various regressive techniques on their members that interfere with their ability to critically assess their situations. Authors also assert that the most virulent forms of regression.This kind of treatment demonstrate the disordered personalities of the cult leaders. however, probably reflect the disordered personalities of some leaders. They present several examples of cult leaders who suffer from various forms of psychological dysfunction.
“Many groups attack the formation of parent–child bonds by geographically separating children from their parents,”they state.”For example, various Eastern-based religious groups operate educational facilities back in their home countries, and often Western followers send their children to these overseas facilities for schooling. Consequently, children and parents see each other very infrequently, as distant strangers assume child-rearing and educational responsibilities. The children, therefore, cannot rely upon their parents in times of need.”
In addition to children like Leila and her siblings, there have been many children who were taken to the MEK camps by their parents but later on they were separated from them. then distanced from them. The number of children who have been separated from their parents by the MEK leaders mount to over 700. In just one cargo, over 300 children were separated from their parents in Camp Ashraf and were transferred via Jordan to Europe in 1990. The horrible fates of these children should be considered as cases of child and teen abuse.
Moreover,”similar threats to those directed against parent–child relationships also exist against spousal relationships”. The authors of the paper suggest,“In highly restrictive groups, strong marriages challenge leaders’ ability to control and receive the constant attention of the two partners. Moreover, couples are likely to establish private confidences—to share intimate feelings, dreams, desires, and perhaps doubts—all of which threaten paranoid leaders and evoke envy in those who have narcissistic and borderline personality disorders.”Therefore, forced divorces and mandatory celibacy in the MEK are definitely the sign of Massoud Rajavi’s personality disorders.
Thus, Rahim Kayukan and hundreds of his peers are trapped in the Cult of Rajavi. They are not allowed to talk and even think about their family. They are under daily pressure to denounce any relationship with the world except with the orders of the leaders Maryam and Massoud Rajavi. This is always mentioned in the testimonies of former members of the group and confirmed in the article too.

“Often groups require members to reveal their supposed deficiencies and shortcomings in assemblies, meetings, or other public settings,”Whitsett and Kent write.”Members, therefore, are trapped in double binds. On the one hand, if they go public with doubts or private opinions, then others will attack and possibly expel them. On the other hand, if they withhold their private (and possibly negative) thoughts, then they likely feel deceitful and inadequate to the tasks of their groups’ missions. Thus, many members are locked in inner battles between self-protection and group solidarity. Because they are torn in these ways, it is exceedingly difficult for them to provide emotional and cognitive guidance to children (not to mention to other adults).”
It is clear that, members of MEK have no way out of the Cult-like system of the group. They are certainly live cases of human rights violation that the International community is responsible to rescue them before irreparable damage is taking its toll.

As Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Araghchi left the meeting place in Vienna, a member of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MEK/ MKO/ PMOI/ Cult of Rajavi) insulted him and tried to attack him, but to no avail, according to Mehr News Agency.
Intensive consultations between the various delegations are taking place in Vienna before the Joint Commission of the JCPOA which was held yesterday at 14:30 local time.

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Seyyed Abbas Araghchi who chairs the Iranian delegation at this meeting met Monday night with the head of the Chinese delegation and on Tuesday with the head of the Russian delegation.
Araghchi also met today with Enrique Mora, EU Coordinator and Chairman of the Joint Commission, to review the latest executive arrangements for the commission.
After this meeting, and when Araghchi was leaving the meeting place, a female operative of MEK insulted him and tried to attack him, but she was stopped by the security guards.
As expected, members of MEK gathered in Vienna to protest the talks in front of the hotel where the joint commission was being held.

The Iranian embassy in Vienna had issued the necessary warnings to the Austrian police to maintain the security of Iranian negotiators.
The 18th Joint Commission of the JCPOA was held in Vienna with the participation of Iran and the remaining countries in the agreement.
Previously, Iran Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said that the session of the JCPOA Commission seeks to finalize measures required to revive the deal.

Greetings,
My wife Ninaz Salem and me; Davood Zand Dochahi have been unaware of our son Majid Zand Dochahi for 20 years.
We once learned that he is in Iraq and in the MEK camp. We went to Iraq several times and went to Camp Ashraf to visit our son, but we did not succeed, and each time the officials of the organization prevented us from meeting our son.
We are now informed that the organization has been transferred to Albania and is based in a remote camp where there is no possibility of contact with its residents.
We ask you, the International authority, to provide means for us to communicate with our son in Albania to ensure his health.
Thank you in advance for your efforts.

Moises Garduño is a Professor of the Faculty of Political and Social Sciences of the National Autonomous University of Mexico where he teaches Middle East Studies and Arabic Language. He is also PhD candidate in Contemporary Arab and Islamic Studies at the Faculty of Philosophy of Autonomous University of Madrid. His article titled “The collective action of Mujahedeen-e Khalq Organization (MKO): evolution, interests and current situation” was published on volume 51 of the Estud. Asia Áfr. Journal in 2016.

This paper defends the hypothesis that the political survival of the Mojahedin-e Khalq-e Iran Organization (The Fighters of the People of Iran) is dependent upon the recognition of this group’s joint interests with the political competitors of the Islamic Republic of Iran and not due to the effectiveness of any discursive or political project as these might relate to the Iranian society at large. The abstract reads:
For over three decades MKO has survived and operated against the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran supported by Saddam Hussein (in eighties) and for several personalities of the U.S. and some European governments in nowadays under National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI). Led by the charismatic Maryam Rajavi, wife of the movement’s official leader Massoud Rajavi, MKO promotes the establishment of”The Democratic Islamic Republic of Iran”, a project that displays that Islam, democracy and human rights can be implemented in”a future and new Iranian state. However, its history full of political treachery, terrorist acts and harassment against its own members, casts doubt on the authenticity of its political project which, with the unfavorable international environment faced since the departure of the U.S. troops from Iraq in 2009, questions its legitimacy and future as a political organization.

A number of defectors of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO/ MEK/ PMOI/ the Cult of Rajavi) took action to denounce the group for kidnapping another former member, Hadi SaniKhani.

Tens of former members of the MEK distributed flyers and brochures on the case of Sanikhani among citizens of Paris and its suburb. Hadi Sanikhani was recruited by the MEK in Turkey and then smuggled to Iraq to stay in the group’s cult-like system. He escaped from the group after it was relocated in Albania but after a few years he was disappeared. The MEK propaganda websites published some papers allegedly signed by Sanikhani.
Defectors believe that the MEK leaders have probably smuggled Sanikhani to France territory. They warned the French authorities and citizens about the MEK’s unlawful activities in France.
Tens of Mujahedin-e Khalq former members celebrated Nowruz – a festival that marks the Persian New Year and the official beginning of spring, in Tirana,Albania.
This year – which in the Persian calendar is the year 1400 – the number of defectors has increased.
Based on the reports from inside Camp Ashraf 3 in Manza Albania, the number of dissidents against the MEK Cult regulations is on the rise and eventually separations from the group.
