MEK Mafia Collaboration Panics Europe

Evidence of criminal collaboration between Italy’s notorious ‘Ndrangheta clan and the Albanian based MEK terrorist cult has alarmed European security services. News that two high ranking MEK members had been arrested in July 2021 on charges of smuggling drugs into Italy, along with several other cases of criminal activity by MEK members had previously been suppressed. Media articles were retracted, and prosecutions quelled after intervention by the US embassy in Tirana.

However, news published by Report TV – later retracted but echoed by Lapsi.al and Syri.net – reveals the extent of MEK criminal activity and links to mafia in Italy and Albania as well as alleged links to Middle East smuggling rings. State police provided information that from 2019 to 2021, the MEK have attempted to illegally traffic 400 MEK members from Albania to France. The police also revealed that MEK were involved with Albanian and Greek criminal groups in trafficking 7 Iranian, Kurdish and Syrian asylum seekers along with evidence of drug smuggling.

This news [see below] has alarmed European security personnel, not least the Italians. Albanian journalist Gjergji Thanasi was contacted by several Italian media organisations covering this news. Thanasi observed that the collaboration between the military and intelligence trained MEK in Albania and the ‘Ndrangheta in Italy has seriously spooked the security communities of both countries.

MEK leader Maryam Rajavi, who had been based in France, was expelled from Europe in 2018 after she and the MEK were linked to a series of serious security risks. Rajavi took up residence in Albania from where she continued her anti-Iranian propaganda activities under the protection of the American embassy. It is unconscionable that this dangerous organisation with its history of military training, including bomb making and special tactics, intelligence work, money laundry, corruption of officials and its criminal activities, be enabled to re-enter Europe through the back door of organised crime.

It is clear that the unrestrained criminality of the MEK poses a massive threat to Europe and has little to do with any pretended opposition to Iran. Indeed, the secretary of Iran’s Human Rights Office, Kazem Gharibabadi, responded to a EU parliament resolution on the death sentence in Iran, which he characterised as interference in the sovereignty of another country, by pointing out the hypocrisy of EU countries “supporting the MKO terrorist group and referring to such a dangerous group as political opponents”.

Police seize Mujahedin involved in trafficking, but they are released after being ‘protected by embassies’

17/02/2022

Verified Albanian police sources suggest that Mojahedin housed as political refugees in Albania are involved in illegal activities such as drug trafficking and smuggling, but the cases proven against them are blocked for political reasons.

This is the news published today by Report TV, testifying to concrete cases. According to this television channel, the State Police, has provided information that from 2019 to 2021 they have attempted to illegally smuggle to France 400 members of Camp Ashraf 3, where the Mojahedin are housed under an agreement dating back to 2013 and sponsored by the US.

Police documents also mention two senior officers of the MEK militant organisation, who deal with the organisation of illegal activity in co-operation with Albanian criminal groups. The same information made public by Report TV has been followed by Lapsi.al for several weeks.

Police sources have made photo media and videos available to our editorial office which demonstrate the trafficking of illegal drugs and persons, allegedly organised by the MEK organisation, to which the Albanian state has given refuge.

But so far Lapsi.al had not made this information public pending official confirmation. According to our source in the police: ‘Since January 2020, over 100 criminal cases have been filed against MEK members.

Eight of these cases relate to drug trafficking, directly related to ‘Ndrangheta in Italy. There are also 14 cases relating to human trafficking with Greece, he said, adding that the customs and police officers prosecuted for involvement in connection with this, also serves as evidence for this.

In the news made public by Report TV, there is also a letter, through which Albanian police have notified the US Embassy of the criminal activities of members of the MEK protected by it.

While the Lapsi.al source claims that foreign diplomats have directly intervened to close the cases against them.

‘This is a scandal that everyone is silent about. We have also notified the opposition parties and they dare not speak as a result of diplomatic pressure. Even the prosecution does not dare take these cases to the end,’ he said.

The question that arises is, is this also one of the reasons that the international community demanded justice reform? Are they controlling judges and prosecutors to keep quiet about the crimes they committed on our territory, by the militant organisation they support, but which must be self-financed through illegal trafficking and smuggling?

These questions need an answer after an in-depth investigation, because everyone can agree that Albania is a host country for refugees, but hardly anyone can accept that it is turned into a laboratory for criminal experiments.

Maryam Rajavi

Maryam Rajavi The MEK Cult Leader

In 2003, Maryam Rajavi inherited, or at least became de facto leader of, a political mind control cult, the Mujahedin-e Khalq, after her husband Massoud Rajavi disappeared. Fortunately for her, Massoud Rajavi had already spent over two decades creating the cultic conditions inside this anti-Iranian group that have guaranteed its survival: modern slavery based on misappropriated devotion to an outdated, unachievable cause enforced through a punitive regime of isolation, fear and punishment. Phew. This is certainly outside Maryam Rajavi’s competence. She is neither a charismatic leader, nor a political strategist, nor anything other than a face and name to trigger obedience among Rajavi’s followers. However, she has been able to use his formula and foreign money to keep the MEK going.

Maryam clearly learned from her husband how cultic abuse could keep the MEK members obedient, using lieutenant enforcers, loyal devotees and useful idiots. As part of the lessons she learned, she has, for two decades, used the label ‘agent of the Iranian regime or intelligence services’ to denounce and demonise and thereby frighten her critics; the majority of whom are former members who have spoken out since leaving about the atrocious human rights abuses they suffered and which are still being inflicted on the trapped membership. The label, which also applies to non-Iranian critics such as western journalists, has become so widely spread that it is not only ludicrous to imagine that the current MEK is harbouring ‘agents’ who simply haven’t left yet, but also to imagine that the Iranians are so powerful they can recruit thousands of specifically anti-MEK agents whose only goal is to infiltrate then destroy the MEK by leaving, someday – a claim even more ludicrous considering all the real-world problems Iran faces. And they still haven’t been able to destroy the organisation.

So, in this context it is interesting that after all this time Maryam Rajavi has suddenly become upset over the description of MEK as a cult and has published on the MEK internet outlets denials and denouncements that the Iranian regime has created this label to destroy the MEK.

But here’s the thing. Since the establishment of the Islamic Republic under Ayatollah Khomeini, Iran’s rulers and media have consistently referred to the MEK only as Monafeqin, a Quranic phrase which translates as ‘Hypocrites’, i.e. not true Muslims. There is no track record of publicly, persistently accusing the group of being a cult. Something else is going on here.

Could it be that Maryam Rajavi felt so safe in her tick box method of cult leadership – defame every critic as an agent of the regime – that she neglected to listen to what her critics were actually saying and the public impact that has had. For years, former MEK members have explained and exposed the internal dynamics to anyone who would listen. Compelling and consistent evidence has led experts in cultic abuse such as ICSA and FECRIS as well as human rights organisations, to recognise the organisation as a cult. Simply put, that means the members are suffering abuse. Investigative media reporting has reflected this reality. This has now reached legal recognition as a German court has determined that MEK behaviour toward underage members amounted to abuse. This has led to the MEK being recognised as a toxic brand in international parliaments and forums.

A quick look into the MEK’s recent history might explain Maryam Rajavi’s dilemma. While the MEK was based in Iraq just off the border with Iran and had weapons and the military backing of Saddam Hussein, the leaders could ignore labels or criticism. Rajavi had the support – financial and political – of various anti-Iran parties not least Rudi Giuliani, John Bolton and John McCain which allowed her to brush off criticism. She had access to parliaments in Europe and North America, she held fancy rallies in which she posed as the saviour of Iran. These have all gone. After its move to Albania, the MEK was reduced to churning out misinformation and false narratives about Iran, swapping guns for clicks, so that the MEK have become the equivalent of porn stars in fuelling the political fantasies of the pundits who consume their political trash.

But the organisation itself is becoming weak and diminished. It is shrinking with deaths and defections, unable to recruit and replenish its ranks. Unable to stop the ageing process of its current members. Unable to hide the obvious fact that after forty years the MEK is no longer a player in the political scene of Iran.

The MEK brand for Maryam also carries an extra burden. She has already appointed her Qajar relatives to leadership roles and sidelined Massoud Rajavi’s family and friends. The continued reference to the MEK as the Rajavi Cult reinforces his name. She needs to have the organisation associated with her family name Azodanlu.

Finally, a home goal by then President Donald Trump – the assassination of general Qassem Soleimani – means that regime change or a colour revolution is completely out of the question. Now with the election of Ebrahim Raisi, Iran is looking East, not West. Raisi’s Iran regards the west as a distraction, not a problem. Russia and China are opportunities for Iran. Now everyone is left with the question, ‘what is the MEK for?’

It’s as though Maryam Rajavi – and or her sponsors – have only recently woken up to this desert of opportunity and paucity of relevance. Her reaction has been to blame everyone except her own cruelty and incompetence.

In the end, the labels and where they originate are not too important. Instead, it is deeds not words which will continue to determine the future of the MEK. As long as it remains on this dysfunctional path the members will suffer. Then they will die. Those who have the power to dismantle the MEK safely and humanely in the short term should choose to do so. If they choose to leave the members to rot and their families to grieve, the reputation of western democracies will be dragged deeper and deeper into the mud. The result will be the same. But just a little hard headed, cost free humanity on the part of western political leaders now would make all the difference.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

Journalist: MKO terrorist group trafficked 400 own members to Europe

An Albanian historian and journalist says the country’s police have alerted the US embassy that members of the so-called Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO), an anti-Iran terrorist cult, are involved in various criminal activities in Europe, including human trafficking, with possible links to the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group.

Olsi Jazexhi, citing Albanian media reports, said in a tweet on Thursday that some MKO operatives, headed by the terrorist group’s leader, Maryam Rajavi, and based in a camp near the capital, Tirana, have attempted to traffic over 400 of the group’s own members to France.

Olsi Jazexhi

Jazexhi added that a number of the terrorist cult’s members have been detained for trafficking people from the Middle East to Europe, who were probably Daesh members.

“Good news for Iran, bad news for #FreeIran, #MaryamRajavi terrorists in #Albania. Albanian police have alerted @USEmbassyTirana that the mojaheeden have trafficked 400 #mojaheden to #France and probably members of DAESH to Europe,” the Albanian journalist wrote.

Jazexhi went on to say that some senior MKO members have been also arrested while trying to traffic drugs to Italy, with police having prosecuted another member over theft charges.

“Sister in law of #MaryamRajavi – sister of @Abrichamtchi head of #NCR committee against terrorism – Narges Abrichamtchi has been arrested trafficking drugs to #Italy. US, #Israel & Saudis should reign down their terrorists in #Albania! France be careful! 400 jihadis are in Paris,” Jazexhi added.

In another string of tweets later on Thursday, the journalist said in one instance, the MKO cult “forced Gazeta Shqiptarja to take offline its article” about their drug and human trafficking arrests in Albania.

MKO, #MaryamRajavi gang has just forced Gazeta Shqiptarja to take offline its article about mojaheden drug & human trafficking arrests in #Albania.

— Olsi Jazexhi (@OlsiJ) February 17, 2022

Olsi noted that he has an official document from the office of Tirana Prosecutor, which proves that one of the notorious MKO commanders, called Mohammad Sadat Darbandi, has been arrested for robbing a pharmacy in Tirana.

The journalist then said that Albanian prosecutors have already filed 100 criminal cases against the MKO on charges of major drug smuggling operations and connection to #Ndrangheta.

— Olsi Jazexhi (@OlsiJ) February 17, 2022

Olsi noted that there are also many reports that reveal “the connections of #MaryamRajavi, #FreeIran mafia with Italian mafia.”

He added that Albanian opposition newspapers are blaming the US embassy in Tirana for providing protection for the MKO criminal cult.

There is an explosion of news about the connections of #MaryamRajavi, #FreeIran mafia with Italian mafia. Albanian opposition newspapers are blaming the @USEmbassyTirana for providing protection for the mojaheden criminal syndicate. This is huge!https://t.co/ss6DZtL7ps
— Olsi Jazexhi (@OlsiJ) February 17, 2022

According to an official document seen by Albania Newspaper Exit in December last year, two members of the MKO, along with Albanian and Greek accomplices, were apprehended for direct involvement in human trafficking.

The documents said the criminal activities happened between 2019 and 2021.

An official source, who requested to remain anonymous, told Exit that the documents claim that information on these crimes has been handed over to the US Embassy in Tirana, and that the Albanian paper has contacted the mission for comments but no formal response has been given.

A political analyst says the West uses terrorist groups such as the anti-Iran MKO to advance its destructive agendas.

After it was founded more than 50 years ago, the MKO launched a campaign of bombings and assassinations in Iran. Out of the nearly 17,000 Iranians killed in terrorist attacks over the past four decades, about 12,000 have fallen victim to the group’s acts of terror.

The ill-famed terror group is currently based in Albania, where it enjoys freedom of activity after being delisted by the European Union and the United States in 2009 and 2012 respectively.

Regardless of its disrepute around the world, the MKO has in recent years held numerous big events, attended by senior American, Israeli and Saudi officials, including former US Senator John McCain, former mayor of New York City Rudy Giuliani, former US national security advisor John Bolton, former US Senator Joe Lieberman, and former director of Saudi Arabia’s intelligence agency Turki bin Faisal Al Saud.

Ericsson says employees may have bribed Daesh in Iraq

The new revelation comes after previous reports indicated that in addition to the MKO, some major Western companies have been also involved in illegal activities pertaining to other terrorist groups, which have been widely condemned by the international community for their crimes, including the Daesh terrorist group.

In one such case, Sweden’s Ericsson has been accused of graft in Iraq when Daesh was active in the Arab country.

The chief executive of Swedish telecoms giant Ericsson said on Wednesday that some of its employees in Iraq may have bribed Daesh members to gain access to certain roads in the country.

“What we see is that people have paid for road transport through areas controlled by terrorist organizations, including ISIS (Daesh),” Borje Ekholm told Swedish financial daily Dagens Industri.

“With the means we have, we haven’t been able to determine the final recipients of these payments,” he added.

Ekholm made the comments hours after the Swedish company released a statement late on Tuesday admitting “serious breaches of compliance rules and the company’s code of business ethics” regarding Ericsson employees, vendors and suppliers in Iraq between 2011 and 2019.

The statement said an internal investigation conducted in 2019 had revealed “evidence of corruption-related misconduct.”

Several employees left the company as a result of the probe, “and multiple other disciplinary and other remedial actions were taken,” Ericsson added in the statement.

The company said it had chosen to disclose details of the now two-year-old investigation due to “detailed media inquiries from Swedish and international news outlets.”

Ericsson’s share price tumbled by more than 12 percent in opening trade on Wednesday on the Stockholm stock exchange after the news.

Albanian police later rejected the allegations.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization members' families

Open Letter from the sister of MEK member to the Albanian Prime Minister

To the Abanian Prime Minister
Mr. Edi Rama
Dear Sir,

I am Samira Sheikh Mansoori the sister of Nasar Sheikh Mansoori. I would like to inform you that my brother was taken as a war prisoner by Iraqi forces when he was a soldier fighting to defend his homeland against the invading enemy, Iraq. After he was imprisoned, he used to write letters and send them to us through the Red Cross office until 1987 but since then we have had no news of him.

Years later, we came to know that he was in the headquarters of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO/ MEK/ PMOI) but we still were not able to contact him. Recently, we have been informed that my brother has been shown up in the MEK TV channel in an interview.

My family and I are very pleased to see my brother, Nasar, after 35 years of separation but what makes us sad and worried is that Nasar did not say any thing about his family although he has had no news about us and especially our mother who missed him a lot! As I know about my brother’s personality, he is such an emotional and caring person and when he was in Iraqi prison, he always expressed his longing for family.

Mr. Prime Minister,
Regarding that the MEK has clearly indicated in the interview that my brother is in their camp in Manez, Albania, we appeal you as the prime minister of the country, to assist us to make a phone call with or to visit my brother after years of being away. I should inform you that our mother passed away two years ago after 33 years of waiting for his son.
We are looking forward to your taking action in this case.

Sincerely Yours,
Samira Sheikh Mansoori
Bandar Mahshahr, Khuzestan, Iran

From Torturer to Petty Thief – MEK Terrorists Mohammad Sadat Darbandi

Albanian police have arrested former Iranian terrorist Mohammad Sadat Darbandi, nicknamed “Kak Adel” (in Kurdish language Brother Adel). He, along with some Albanian thieves, had terrorized small businesses in the Municipality of Kamez, breaking into some of them to steal.

Link to official PDF File on the arrest of MEK Terrorists Mohammad Sadat Darbandi

It is interesting that this Iranian thief has committed monstrous crimes not only against his compatriots in Iran, but also against his comrades in the MEK organization, currently known as the Rajavi Cult. He was the head of the MEK prison in Camp Ashraf in the Diyala Governorate in Iraq. In collaboration with Saddam Hussein’s Mukhabarat (military intelligence) operatives, he tortured dozens of members of the MEK organization, who were theoretically his comrades-in-arms against the Iranian government! This stinking thief, in addition to Iranian blood, has painted his hands with Iraqi Kurdish blood and other Iraqi blood, those who are part of Iraqi social groups called “abd” and “grook”!

Mohammad Sadat Darbandi, nicknamed “Kak Adel”

Interestingly, the Israeli adviser and the American adviser to SAVAK, had in the seventies in the last century, among other things, marked in his personal file (as he was imprisoned along with the former terrorist leader Massoud Rajavi) his tendency to steal whatever he could.

Already the Albanian Prosecutor’s Office has confirmed my alarm about such garbage, with the blood of his comrades and compatriots on his hands! These people on the ropes are a real and present threat to the security, honour, life and wealth of Albanians.

I hope that the director Gledis Nano will be mature and order his subordinates to take urgent measures against such scum, that were imposed on us in Manze!

Another MEK Member Involved in Criminal Activity in Albania

Another member of the People’s Mujahedin of Iran, MEK, resident at Ashraf 3 in Manez has admitted to two incidents of theft, just two months after other members were reportedly involved in human and drug smuggling.

Documents seen by Exit from inside the Tirana prosecution office show that the individual, Mohammad Sadat Darbandi was involved in stealing money from a pharmacy in Kamez along with two Albanian nationals in March last year.

The rap sheet says he admitted to the crime.

Mohammad Sadat DArbandi aka Kak Adel

The second incident involved the individual breaking and entering into a bar and stealing money from the cash register. He admitted to this as well.

The document, stamped by prosecutor Elina Kombi, clearly specifies he has previous convictions but did not elaborate.

In December, Exit published information on a letter, sent to a Western foreign diplomat bearing the stamp of the Director of the Criminal Police Department in the State Police, giving details of a serious rap sheet of offences involving MEK members.

It states that two members of MEK, along with Albanian and Greek accomplices, were apprehended for direct involvement in human trafficking. On 11 July 2021, police stopped a car carrying Syrian, Iraqi, and Kurdish citizens. Further investigations led to the arrest of the main gang members.

According to the document, it was discovered that between 2019 and 2021, the same smuggling gang attempted to transfer some 400 members of MEK from Albania to France.

Iranian Exiles in Albania Arrested for Drug Trafficking and Human Smuggling

But that is not all. On 18 July 2021, a consignment of drugs was seized by police and two MEK senior officials—Narges Abrishamchi and Hassan Nayeb-Agha—were arrested. It is reported in the official document they confessed to playing a pivotal role in organising and transporting a shipment of drugs to Italy.

This pattern of criminality, according to an official source who wished to remain anonymous, told Exit, dates back to 2015. The documents and the source claim that information on these crimes has also been handed over to the US Embassy in Tirana.

Exit contacted the US Embassy to comment but no formal response has been given.

In terms of the latest charges, Exit contacted both the Prosecutor’s office and the State Police to ask how many crimes have been reported involving MEK members since 2015, and how many have been convicted. No response was forthcoming by the time of publication.

MEK, otherwise known as the People’s Mujahedin of Iran, is a political-militant Iranian opposition group that advocates overthrowing the current regime and installing its own government. Although the designation has since been lifted, it was previously considered a terrorist organisation by the EU, Canada, the US, and Japan. They now enjoy widespread support and even protection by the EU and the US.

In 2013, the US government requested the group, in exile, be settled in Albania, but MEK initially rejected the offer. They eventually agreed to relocate 3000 members to the country, and the US donated $20 million to the UN refugee agency for the cause. In 2016, a further 280 members moved to Albania to a heavily guarded compound in Manze, Durres County.

Few journalists have been allowed inside the compound, but you can read a detailed account from 2019 here.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization members' families

Ahmad Rezaei’s family want to visit him in Albania

Mr. Alireza Rezaei, brother of Ahmad Rezaei member of the MEK in Albania, said in an interview with Nejat Society correspondent:

I am Alireza Rezaei, the brother of Ahmad Rezaei, who is enslaved at the Rajavi Cult camp. My brother was a prisoner of Iran-Iraq war. He was at the Baath prisons for 10 years. My brother was then deceived by the MEK elements into joining the organization. He is captivated at the Cult camps now for about 30 years. I know that members of the MEK are under mental and physical pressures.

Brother of Ahmad Rezaei; MEK member captivated at Camp Ashraf 3 in Albania

During the years that the cult camps were at Iraq, we traveled there to visit Ahmad.
However, we were not allowed to visit him. On the contrary, the cult elements received us with stones and insults. They didn’t inform my brother about our presence at the Camp gates and our request to visit him.
I call on the officials of the Albanian government, as well as the European Union and human rights bodies to facilitate our travel to Albania in order to visit my dear brother after 40 years of being far apart.

The cult of Rajavi

German Court Denounce the MEK for Child Abuse

Following the appeal made by the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO/ MEK/ PMOI/ NCRI) against the German magazine Die Zeit, on an article titled “Freed at Last” about the former child soldier, Amin Golmaryami, the German court ruled that five out of eight facts that the MEK had appealed on, were true and should not be removed from the article. No verdict was issued about the three others because more investigation is needed and eventually the file was referred to an appeal court in Hamburg.

In the article authored by the journalist Luisa Hommerich published by Die Zeit on November, 15th, 2021, twenty-four facts were exposed on abuse against former child soldiers of the MEK, based on the interview with Amin Golmaryami and the journalist’s own investigations.
The judgements made by the German court at least on the five accusations against the MEK was a huge failure for the MEK (and its political vitrine the NCR) because once more it was confirmed that the group has violated the right of its own children.

Amin Golmaryami ; The MEK former member

Consequently, the related sentences of the article will not be removed. Amin Golmaryami explained about the court verdict in the recent Club House room held by former child soldiers of the MEK, on February 6th, 2022.
Five evidences approved against the MEK

The court verified that Amin Golmaryami was an involuntarily recruited child soldier of the MEK for 12 years. The judges of the court based their argument on the testimonies of other child soldiers, Amin’s then comrades, such as Amir Yaghmai and MohammadReza Torabi.

The court confirmed that the group seeks religious causes based on an intelligence report arguing that the MEK was founded on a mixture of Islamist-Marxist ideology. The MEK rejects that it is religious!
The court verified that what the MEK claims to rationalize the smuggling of the children of Mujahedin from Iraq to Europe in 1991 is not true. Actually, the group leaders did not want to save the lives of the children but they aimed to destroy the family structure. The court ruled that this is quite acceptable based on the investigations and analysis made by the journalist.

The court confirmed that the MEK authorities smuggled 40 children from the group’s team house in Cologne to Camp Ashraf, Iraq based on evidences presented in the article.

The court confirmed that Amin Golmaryami was a child soldier who was taken by the MEK agents to Iraq where he received military trainings based on existing documents and the testimonies of other former child soldiers.
The court confirmed that Amin Golmaryami did not visit his mother immediately after he was arrived in the MEK camp in Iraq; It took him two weeks to meet his mother in the presence of other female members who were monitoring them. In fact, the MEK agents had promised Amin to take him to Iraq to stay with her mother for a short time and then get back to Europe but according to Amin and other child soldiers they were not allowed to visit their parents in Camp Ashraf except once in a year.

The three other facts, stated in the article, that the MEK claims they were not true are frozen by the court until they are considered in the appeal court of Hamburg.

Former members of the MEK

Ebrahim Moradi declared his defection from the MEK

Ebrahim Moradi declared his total disassociation with the Mujahedin Khalq (MEK, MEKO, PMOI, NCRI, Cult of Rajavi) after 20 years of collaboration with group. Moradi, now 64 years old, from Kermanshah, in west of Iran, was a construction worker when he was deceived by an MEK recruiter to join the group in Iraq. “In 2001 I was a worker in Iranshahr, Baluchestan, (Eastern Iran), a man named Farid promised me to take me to Europe”, Moradi says. “I was seeking a better life so I found it a great opportunity.”

Ebrahim Moradi

With the help of human smugglers, Farid took Ebrahim Moradi to Pakistan where he was given a fake passport. “They told me that there was a problem to go directly to Europe and I had to go to Iraq to stay there for a short time before moving to a European country,” Moradi writes in his message to announce his defection from the MEK.

The MEK agents warmly welcomed Moradi in Baghdad airport. They took him to a hotel and after a few days they took him to Camp Ashraf. “When I arrived in Camp Ashraf, a man named Aidin gave me a military uniform and told me, ‘You are a fighter for the Khalq (people)!’ “, Moradi recalls. “I was shocked, I asked them to leave me get back to Iran but I was told that I had no way out.”

Ebrahim Moradi was not personally interested in in the MEK’s cause. He was always looking for a chance to release himself from the bars of the Cult of Rajavi but like any other member of the MEK, he was constantly under the manipulation system of the group. “I had no access to the outside world, I was not even allowed to contact my family,” he says.

As a Sunni Muslim, Moradi was forced by the MEK commanders to obey the religious rules and ceremonies of the Shiite Mujahedin. “I was difficult for me but I had to obey the repressive ruling of the cult,” he states.
Moradi left the MEK’s camp in Albania in 2017 but he was linked with group’s authorities because of the monthly payment that the UN pays all refugees in Albania. In fact, the MEK leaders have confiscated the money and they pay it to their defectors as far as they work for them as spies against other defectors who have completely defected from the group.

About his departure from the MEK he says, “After 17 years of ruining my life for the lies and false promises of the MEK, I left the group after it was relocated in Albania but unfortunately it was like I was still I the group; I was forced to snitch on other defectors of the group as a spy just in order to receive my monthly payment.”

Ebrahim Moradi with ASILA members

The MEK authorities wanted him to inform them on the whereabouts, job, family … of the defectors. “I was fed up with spying and snitching for them so I came to ASILA office and introduced myself to Mr. Heirani,” he writes.
Moradi joined ASILA (the association for the support of the Iranians living in Albania) which is run by defectors of the MEK to aid former members of the MEK to build a new life in the outside world.

The cult of Rajavi

Being benevolent excludes you in the Cult of Rajavi; the story of Reza Tabe

Reza Tabe’ was a high-ranking commander of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO/ MEK/ PMOI/ NCR/ Cult of Rajavi). He had served the MEK since he was so young. He survived the MEK’s most catastrophic operation against the Iranian border in 1988 and many other operations launched by the MEK in the alleged struggle for the Iranian Khalq (people). However, Reza Tabe’ died in 2014 after he left the group.

Reza was one of the commanders of a unit called “Hanif” in Camp Ashraf where child soldiers were trained for military operations immediately after they were transferred from Europe to the MEK’s base in Iraq. Amir Yaghmai is one of the child soldiers who was recruited by the MEK agents in France to join the MEK’s so-called National Liberation Army (NLA), when he was only 14. He remembers Reza Tabe’, his nice commander in Hanif.

Amir could manage to escape the MEK (Cult of Rajavi) when he was 22 and since then he was labeled by the MEK’s propaganda as the agent of the Iranian Intelligence. Nevertheless, Amir has not stopped exposing the MEK as a suppressive cult that violated the rights of its own members, especially former child soldiers like him. In his recent video published on Twitter, Amir speaks in the memory of Reza Tabe as one of the rare commanders of the MEK who was kind, humanitarian and caring to child soldiers. “He had sense of humor, he was energetic, cheerful and an honorable person,” Amir says.

As Amir Yaghmai asserts, unlike typical commanders of the MEK who are suppressive, strict and absolutely obedient to rules of the cult of Rajavi, Reza Tabe’ was an easygoing person. Amir Yaghmai testifies that he just saw humanity in him. “The kids (child soldiers) loved him,” Amir says. “I didn’t see anything bad of him, I just learned from him to be human.”.

In contrast, being humanitarian was not the thing wanted by the leaders of the MEK. The cult of Rajavi want commanders who are able to monitor all aspects of the life of their forces, suppressing them in the self-criticism sessions, punishing them for not being submissive enough to the cult-like regulations of the group.
Thus, Reza left the group and fled to Greece, Europe. After those many years of serving Massoud Rajavi and his cult, Reza was left moneyless and homeless as an illegal refugee seeker in Europe. After two years he moved to Germany where he was finally granted political refuge. He could manage to build a new life but he soon died of a heart attack in the streets of a German city. His body was sent to his family in Iran after so many years of separation.

The MEK-run media said nothing of their formerly high-ranking commander. “The MEK did not react his death; no condolences were sent; no tribute was paid by the side of the MEK.” Amir Yaghmai says. “Reza had served the MEK for so many years. He had endangered his life for the group. No matter right or wrong but he had joined the MEK pure intentions.”

There were a lot of high-ranking members of the MEK who began criticizing the group after they noticed that it was turning to a cult around the personality of Massoud Rajavi. Reza Tabe’ is just one of those members of the cult whose servings was ignored by the leaders just because he had left the cult. Moreover, these individuals were labeled as mercenaries of the Iranian government just because they stopped working with the Rajavis.
