The letter of Samaneh Noori to his father in the MEK

Hamid Reza Noori has been taken as a hostage by the Mujahedin-e Khalq

for over 30 years. His family have been looking forward to contact him in all these years. They have sent petitions to the international human rights bodies in order to demand his liberation from the MEK.
They have also published several open letters in the hope that Hamid Reza will read them some day. Being stuck in the cult-like MEK, Hamid Reza has never been allowed by the group leaders to contact his family. This is the latest letter to Hamid Reza written by his daughter Somayeh who is 34 years old.

My Dear father,
I hope you are doing well. I have so far sent you several letters but you have never responded.

My beloved father,
I miss you so much. When ever I miss you, I begin writing a few words to you. I have never felt you as a father. When I was a kid and a primary school student, I would see the fathers of my classmates who dropped them at school. I always envied them wondering where my father is. In your absence, I grew up with so much regret.
I have already told you in my previous letters that I am married and have two children. I show your photo to my kids; they become happy to see you and ask when grandpa will to come over? I have no clear answer to give them. I just tell them to be patient. “Grandpa will come,” I tell them.

Dear father,
I ask you to release yourself from the Mujahedin-e Khalq and get back to your family. We are here waiting for you with open arms.
Your daughter, Samaneh

The mother of Ali Hajari’s Congratulations message on the birth of Elisa

written by Nejat Society

My dear Ali,
I received the news of the birth of your beautiful daughter on Friday, January 13th , coincidently Mother’s Day in Iran. This was the best and the most valuable gift that you could give me on this occasion. Elisa is the greatest gift the God offered you and our family.

My beloved son,

I hope you could know how happy and pleased I am, as a mother who languished to hear the voice of his son for years. The son that had gone to war to defend his country and his people but was taken as a war prisoner and then was imprisoned in a new prison called Ashraf of the Mujahedin-e Khalq where he lost best years of his younghood earning no job, no education, no income and no wealth.

Elisa Hajari, Daughter of Ali Hajari

You lost your life under the brainwashing system and the fraudulent propaganda of the Cult of Rajavi where marriage and having baby was forbidden and an impossible wish. You spent those years in the worse and most disastrous conditions until, thanks to God and our prayers, you were released from the cult.
You were again imprisoned this time by the Albanian government two months ago as the result of the plots created by the leaders of the MEK. This unlawful act prevented you from being by the side of your beloved wife while she was going through labor. However, I still believe that the will of God is more powerful than all the devilish plots. I am sure that you and your friends will be free soon. God will bring you back to us.

I am grateful to God that gave me enough life to see your child, my grandchild. Send the congrats of me and all your siblings to your caring and kind wife who protested and complained your detention despite the difficult conditions of pregnancy.
Wishing you freedom and your warm company by the side of your daughter and family. I kiss you.

Your mother Sakineh Avazzadeh (Hajari)

Erisa Rahimi’s letter to the Albanian Border and Migration Police

written by Nejat Society

Erisa Rahimi, member of the Association for the Support of Iranians Living in Albania (ASILA) wrote a letter to the director of the Albanian Border and Migration Police to demand a clear response on the case of the detained members of ASILA.

6 members of ASILA association who are former members of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) have been detained in Karreç Detention Center in the past two months. Erisa Rahimi the wife of Sarfaraz Rahimi and an Albanian member of ASILA, has penned the letter together with 4 other Albanian women who are the wives of the detained members.

Erisa Rahimi

Erisa addresses Sajmir Boshnjaku, the director of the Albanian Border and Migration Police asking him to answer why the husbands of these women are kept in Karreç Detention Center. “If they have committed a crime, why are they in migrants’ detention center and not in prison?” she asks the director. “If they are unlawful migrants, why aren’t the MEK members considered this way?”

Erisa Rahimi notifies that the detained citizens are 6 individuals of those 3000 MEK members who were relocated in Albania under the agreement between the Albanian government, the UNHCR, the United States and the MEK leaders. “These people left the MEK,” she states. “What especial crime are they accused of? In a word, you are violating human rights. Regardless of their nationality and their citizenship, they are humans.”
Pointing to the families that the detained ASILA members have formed in Albania, Erisa Rahimi and other signatories of the letter demand Sajmir Boshnjaku to clarify the reason for detention of Hassan Heirani, Ali Hajari, Gholam Shekari, Mehdi Soleimani, Hassan Shahbaz and Ehsan Bidi considering that they have not committed any crime in the Albanian territory.

Ghafoor Fattahian - MEK defector living in France

Former members of the MEK

Ghafoor Fattahian’s open letter to the Prime Minister of Albania

written by Nejat Society

Mr. Ghafoor Fattahian, a former member of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK, MKO) living in France, wrote a letter to the Prime Minister of Albania regarding the arbitrary arrest of 6 former members of the Rajavi Cult in Albania, the text of which is as follows:

Mr. Edi Rama, the honorable Prime Minister of the Republic of Albania
Greetings and happy new year

If the action is about arrest, imprisonment and deportation, this should include Maryam Rajavi and her terrorist aides in the Rajavi’s cult in the camp known as “Ashraf 3”. Not some helpless Iranian refugees who entered your country legally about 7 years ago and lived in Albania during this time, and of course they no longer wanted to be a member of a terrorist cult and now have families and jobs and have never committed the slightest illegal act so far.

Mr. Prime Minister
I am Ghafoor Fattahian, I spent more than twenty years of the best time of my life and youth professionally and day and night in different camps of this cult in Iraq, in physical and psychological captivity. Maryam Rajavi and her aides have taken away any freedom of action and left no rights for anyone. Maryam Rajavi told us that our only right is to sacrifice and die for Masoud Rajavi’s wishes.
In the MEK, if anyone even thinks against Massoud Rajavi’s wishes, they hold him accountable in the mass psychological suppression meetings that were held every day and harass him to the extent that he would regret the wishes, and if he did not, he would be sent to the solitary prisons that were built in different places of Ashraf camp in Iraq. But if this person still did not pull back of his demands, they would hand him over to the dreaded prison of Saddam Hussein’s dictatorial regime in Abu Ghraib, west of Baghdad. It is clear what would happen to the prisoner over there. Even now, apparently, the same is done in the same way in Albania and they send their defectors to prison.

Mr. Prime Minister
If I want to recount all the tortures that were inflicted on me and people like me in Ashraf Camp in Iraq, I would need to write a big book. But I would like to prove my words anywhere and, in any court, and speak and prove my claims because this cult has captured and sacrificed a number of the best young people of Iran for many years under the pretext of overthrowing the Islamic Republic, and even now in Albania there are a number of individuals that have been kept arrested in the same way as in Iraq and kept them away from the free world.
The people living in the camp of the Rajavi cult in Albania have not had any contact with their families for more than thirty years due to the obstruction of the organization’s leaders, and no matter how much the families of these people tried to contact their loved ones, the officials of this cult, with the cooperation of the Albanian government, have blocked communication.

Mr. Prime Minister
In this regard, I request you not to let the Rajavi cult led by Maryam Rajavi abuse their presence in your country and put pressure on the refugees who fled from this cult, like today when some of these refugees are in a closed camp in your country and deprived of freedom.
I request you to release them as soon as possible. The Iranian friends and families of these people and the people of Iran will not forget the kindness and hospitality of the Albanian government and nation.

The brother of Fereshteh Mohammadi Zadeh call on Human rights bodies

written by Nejat Society

Amir Mohammadi Zadeh, the brother of Fereshteh Mohammadi Zadeh, a member of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), called on the International human rights bodies for the release of his sister. Fereshteh has been taken as a hostage by the group for near four decades.
“My parents have been languishing in the absence of Fereshteh in all these long years,” Amir told Nejat Society Golestan’s representative. “They are old and sick now and they miss Fereshteh a lot. They need her more than any time.”
Fereshteh Mohammadi’s brother wrote letters to the intentional human rights bodies for the nth time. “I ask the international human rights community to make a decision and take action in order to aid my parents visit their beloved daughter –who is imprisoned behind the mental and physical bars of the MEK– while they are still alive,” he wrote.

Fereshteh Mohammadi zadeh

Born in 1965, Fereshteh married her cousin, Ali Akbar Mohammadi, before turning 20 years old. In 1982, as sympathizers of the MEK, together with her husband, Fereshteh left Iran and took refuge in Germany where she gave birth to her daughter, Alan. They eventually joined the MEK in its military headquarters in Iraq.

Alan Mohammadi

In 1991, Alan Mohammadi was separated from her parents at Camp Ashraf and was smuggled to Germany where she was kept in the MEK safe houses and foster houses along with other MEK children. She was only thirteens when she was smuggled back to Iraq to serve as a child soldier in the MEK’s so-called National Liberation Army (NLA). Alan was forced to wear hijab and military uniform and to receive military trainings. She was not able to tolerate the suffocating atmosphere of the cult of Rajavi. Thus, she committed suicide while she was on guard duty in the guard tower at Camp Ashraf.

Fereshteh Mohammadi Zadeh, the mother of Alan, got to know about the heartbreaking death of her daughter from an announcement on the walls of Ashraf while they were both residing in the same camp. (Based on memoirs of Amin Golmaryami, former child soldier of the MEK)
Fereshteh is now in the MEK’s headquarters called Ashraf 3, located in the village of Manez, North of Tirana, Albania. She is not allowed to contact her family in Golestan province, in Northern Iran. Her brother Amir hopes that Fereshteh will notice that her daughter was killed because of the MEK’s destructive ideology and take a step to leave the group before her parents die.

Letter to a brother imprisoned in the MEK on Yalda Night

written by Nejat Society

On the occasion of Yalda Night, Zahra Gholizadeh published a letter to her beloved brother Ali, a member of the Mujahedin-e Khalq.
As an historic tradition, the Winter solstice is celebrated by the Iranian families, every year. Family members, parents and siblings gather together to celebrate the start of winter. As well as many families of MEK members, the Gholizadehs miss a member of their family: Ali.

Ali Gholizadeh was a POW of Iran-Iraq war. He was a young voluntary soldier in the war when he was imprisoned by Iraqi forces. He was then deceived by the MEK recruiters to join them in their notorious Camp Ashraf, Iraq.
This is one of the numerous letters Zahra has so far written for Ali in the hope of the least likely chance that her brother will be able to break through the mental and physical bars of the MEK and read the letters.

Zahra Gholizade

She writes of her languishing family that has gone through so many Yaldas in the absence of their beloved Ali. “I wish you were here with us this year and we would talk about all those years that you were far,” she writes. “My dear Ali! we miss you. We cannot help crying when we think of you. My dear brother! missing your visit is very difficult and suffocating for us.”

Mahin Najafi pens letter to special rapporteur on human rights in Iran

written by Nejat Society

Mahin Najafi, the sister of Mohammad Jaafar Najafi, member of the Mujahedin-e Khalq wrote a letter to the special rapporteur on human rights in Iran, Javid Rehman.

Mohammad Jaafar Najafi has been taken as hostage by the leaders of the MEK for over three decades. He has never been allowed by the group leaders to contact his family in Iran. “My brother lives in the MEK’s camp in Albania or in better words, he is imprisoned in the MEK,” Mahin writes in the letter.

Mohammad Jaafar was a soldier serving for the Iranian army in Iran-Iraq war. He was taken as a war prisoner in 1988 and eventually he was taken as a hostage by the MEK recruiters working in Iraqi camps.

Mahin Najafi tells Javid Rehman that under the rule of the MEK leaders, her brother is deprived from freedom, the right to get married and have a family. “Are you informed that the MEK brainwashes its members?” she asks Rehman. “You must pursue the situation of human rights inside the MEK.”

As she states, this is the third letter Mahin has so far emailed to the UN’s special rapporteur on human rights in Iran. She warns the rapporteur on the abuses the MEK leaders commit in their modern slavery system. “The few thousand people who live in the MEK camp are not allowed to access the outside world, to contact their families,” she writes. “They are deprived from any form of freedom. Isn’t it violation of human rights? How long do I and other families of MEK hostages have to suffer separation from our loved ones.”

Mahin Najafi ends her letter by asking Javid Rehman to send a delegation in order to visit the MEK camp in Albania and to interview each member of the group in person.

Letter to Albanian authorities by the deputy of the MEK defectors

written by Nejat Society

Legal deputy of former members of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) published an open letter to the Albanian authorities. Samad Eskandari, former member of the MEK and the representative of the group defectors in Iran’s judiciary system, asked for the release of six detained members of the Association for the Support of Iranians Living in Albania (ASILA).

Eskandari suggests that these 6 people have been detained by the Albanian immigration Police as a result of a false flag operation launched by the MEK. He states, “the Albanian Prime Minister, Edi Rama has violated his political and social prestige at the cost of complicity with the devil Maryam Rajavi”.

According to Eskandari, who endured the oppressive ruling of Massoud and Maryam Rajavi in long years of membership in their cult, the history of the group and his own experience are evidences to prove that “the notorious and criminal MEK cult has no legitimacy among the Iranian public opinion and thus being a collaborator in the MEK’s bloody accord will bear no fruit for the Albanian authorities except disaster and destruction”.

He refers to the MEK’s siding with Iraqi former dictator Saddam Hussein. “For over three decades, Saddam Hussein was hand in hand with Massoud Rajavi,” he writes. “Their alliance led to the killing of a large number of dissident members of the group in Camp Ashraf, Iraq. Saddam would imprison and torture those members of the MEK who opposed Massoud Rajavi and wanted to leave his cult”.Criticizing the policies of the Albanian government to imprison members of ASILA, Eskandari warns the Albanian Prime Minister to learn lessons from the fate of Saddam Hussein.

Hassan Heirani, Gholamreza Shekari, Ali Hajari, Mehdi Soleimani, Hassan Shahbaz and Ehsan Bidi have been detained by the Albanian immigration and border department for over 5 weeks without being accused of any crime.

Reza Eslami: their only fault is that they denounced the MEK cult

written by Nejat Society

Reza Eslami, former member of the Mujahedin-e Khalq asked the Albanian Prime minister to release his detained friends. He is a member of the Association for the Support of Iranians Living in Albania (ASILA) of which 6 members have been detained by the Albanian immigration Police since last month.

Reza Eslami declares his protest against the arrest of these 6 people in an open letter to the Albanian Prime Minister, Edi Rama. He states that his friends have not committed any crime but they have exposed the true nature of the Cult of Rajavi or MEK.

Reza Eslami was kept under mental and physical pressure of the MEK for 29 years and as a defector of Rajavi’s cult of personality, he is considered a witness of MEK’s inhumane attitude toward its own members.
“The cult of Rajavi can not tolerate the presence of ASILA in Albania so it has to conspire with the Albanian government to prevent ASILA from exposing the truth about what is going on inside the group,” Eslami wrote in his letter to Edi Rama asking for liberation of his friends from Karrec detention center, north of Tirana.
