Over 50 survivors of Mojahedin Khalq write to UNHCR

Open letter from 50 separated members and freed critics of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran

New criminal act against refugees in Albania Mariam Rajavi’s criminal act to eliminate opponents they left that organization. In an unprecedented move, without any financial or administrative backing, the UN Commissioner in coordination with the PMOI and Maryam Rajavi has announced to the people they left this cult in Albania that they will cut off all assistance to these asylum seekers from the beginning of the New Year. And the responsibility will be with Albanian government. While these people do not have any legal qualifications and, given the situation in the Albania, there is no possibility of work or visit their family, many of these people they are old and more than 55 years old and they are not able to work and during the past years they were with this cult all of them have physical problems and they have been subjected to psychological torture also they have many mental problems and they need special attention. After these years they have been past they are not able to do their job and many of them need surgery. It should be noted that , Maryam Rajavi, who has signed a contract with the Commissioner and the Albanian government, stated that, this organization and the people they will leave them ,they never ask to change their status as asylum, and they will be in this country as a humanitarian situation According to the contract, it is the responsibility of the organization to pay the financial support to these people until they are in this country. But on the basis of this disgraceful agreement, Maryam Rajavi, in her effort to eliminate these people, is trying to strike all the ways ahead of life front of these people in order to create fear between her forces, in the same way, she is trying to cut off their money. The cost of living these people, while all living expenses include the rent of the house and pay for electricity and water, they must pay for everything while they haven’t any sources for get money. These costs are paid to these people at the lowest level and under conditions , they must do mercenaries for this organization, and are trying to get news about their friends and their families to the organization to make daily feeds to people they live with organization for making fear between them. During these years, despite the fact that according to the contract they must be paid by the organization, but this organization minimized it in with two steps, and Ministry of Interior of Albania and the UNHR based in Albania also the US government, which was a party to the deal closed their eyes against MKO after the interruption. And now, another conspiracy has been arranged by this organization, the UNHCR announced to these people they left them, from the beginning of the new year, the UNHCR will cut their supports, no medical support no any help, even the medical counseling they have been given to them because of the psychological and psychological pressures they have been inflicted during the years they have been with this organization over past years. Unfortunately, it should be added that in all references to the Ministry of Interior and the High Commissioner of Refugees to receive this contract, both party aren’t accountable and in a coordinated manner, they play with these people. It should be to mention that the organization has signed an agreement with the Albanian government to complete this conspiracy, the Albanian government doesn’t allow any family from Iran to come to Albania to visit their children, and this has also been reported by the UNHCR, this organization and Albanian government trying to isolate them here until they die. These people by wrote protesting letter to the UNHCR in Geneva, wrote their concern their right has defaced by this organization and Albanian government, but unfortunately did not receive any response to their demands. We are demand all the human rights activists want to be our voice and transmit our voice to the world and social networks and press. Because we are imprisoned here in Albania and all the roads are closed to us and we know what these are because of Rajavi, she doesn’t want anybody leave them so the only way is to kill all of us or forced us to leave this country by illegally way, but we will pay price to be free and reach our rights and we never give up and do what Maryam Rajavi wants and we don’t scare of this organization and what they are doing against us and we will face their threat. The world is not without justice, and there will be people to be our voice and reach it to all of world. Thank you in advance for all your work

Open letter to European Commissioner for Migration, Home Affairs and citizenship

Honorable Commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos,

My name is Reza Jebelli. I am a former member of mek and a human rights activist living in Brussels. On June 1981, I was shoot and later arrested by Iranian security service and spent about five years in prison including of two years in solitary confinement. I was working in the financial section of mek in Canada and united states and spent many years in mek Camp Ashraf in Iraq.

I have followed the EU-Western Balkans Ministerial Forum on Justice and Home Affairs in Tirana on October 5th, which have raised a few very important issues.

The Ministers acknowledged that terrorism and radicalization continue to be a common challenge for the European Union and the Western Balkans region.

Considering the mek past forty years records of assassinations and terrorist activities in Iran, Iraq and Europe and as a former member, I must emphasize that mek presence in Tirana and Balkans region is and will be one of the greatest threats to the European Union.

in 2003, French anti-terrorism officers raided a dozen locations northwest of Paris in Auvers-Sur-Oise, the mek headquarter, classified as a terrorist organization by the United States, the European Union and Iran (1997-2012) and initially detained 165 people along with mek leader Maryam Rajavi who right after ordered few members to self-immolation in the street of Europe. ‘The attempts at self-immolation to protest against the arrest of Radjavi are proof of a fanaticism and terrorist group that not respect our laws and our values.

On December 12, 2017, when Maryam Rajavi the leader of mek was in the European parliament, two former mek members who were invited for a conference in the parliament were attacked and injured by Rajavi’s bodyguards when they tried to kidnap Mr. Khoshal and Ebrahimi right front of EU parliament.

At least two of these bodyguards came from Albania with fake documents, which their name has been given to the Belgium police and authorities.

Every day in the street of Tirana, the former members are being harassed by mek in order to prevent them to reveal the true face of this cult. Just recently, an Iranian Canadian national Mr. Mostafa and his wife Mrs. Mahbubeh Mohammadi who travel from Canada to see their daughter Somayeh were beaten by mek in Tirana.

Furthermore, every years mek smuggles many refugees from different camp all over Europe and Balkans region and take them to Paris for their anniversary of arm struggle against Iranian.

Dear Sir,

The Ministers underlined the key importance of the respect of rule of law and the threat of terrorism and here we have this terrorist cult smuggling people throughout European cities.

Despite Mojahedin assertions that the group has abandoned its extreme ideology and now favors a liberal democracy, you could see mek’s action towards its own member which has been disconnected from free world and even they not allowed to see their parents.

Moreover, the Mojahedin’s 40-year record of behavior does not substantiate its capability or intention to be democratic. Internally, the Mojahedin run their organization autocratically, suppressing dissent and eschewing tolerance of differing viewpoints. Rajavi, who heads the Mojahedin’s political and military wings, has fostered a cult of personality around herself. These characteristics have alienated most Iranian expatriates, who assert they do not want to replace one objectionable regime for another.

Let’s not forget, In the period leading up to the revolution and its immediate aftermath, the Mojahedin carried out their strategy of armed struggle. The results included the murder of Americans, support for the seizure of the U.S. embassy, and opposition to the release of U.S. hostages. The Mojahedin are known to have assassinated the following Americans in Iran during the 1970s:

Lt. Colonel Lewis L. Hawkins Killed: June 2, 1973

Air Force Colonel Paul Schaeffer Killed: May 21, 1975

Air Force Lt. Colonel Jack Turner Killed: May 21, 1975

Donald G. Smith Rockwell International Killed: August 28, 1976

Robert R. Krongrad, Rockwell International Killed: August 28, 1976

William C. Cottrell Rockwell International Killed: August 28, 1976

In 1981, mek started their armed struggle once again with seven suicide attack among them a fourteen years old girl named Adab Avaz Gohar-.

Former members of the MEK

Open Letter of over 50 ex members to Daily Caller

Dear editor of Daily Caller,

With regards, we are a group of members and officials and former commanders of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (MEK) from various sectors, including military, propaganda, foreign affairs and publications, we are residents of different European countries now.

Recently, an article was published in your site titled “TRUMP’S MAIDEN SPEECH TO THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL — A MODEST PROPOSAL”.

Since we are fully acquainted with the literature and culture of the organization, we assure you that this article was either written by them or just has been dictated to the author by MEK operatives base in the US and it is completely illusions and fake news for attracting attention and rating to this organization.

Today, MEK has become a cult, among the Iranian public, there is a negative view towards the MEK not only because of its policy, but more so because of its role in the post-revolution political assassinations and the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s and ultimately not only isolated by both Iranians inside and outside Iran and the Iranian movements and opposition figures but also according to many analysts and politicians, even the US Department of State Spokeswoman recently declared and acknowledge that MEK lacks any position among the Iranians and have no support in Iran what so ever.

we were members of this cult between ten to forty-five years with various responsibilities in different European countries, the United States and Iraq are well aware of the lies and deception and fake news which is the MEK routine practices for many years.

Among Mojahedin tricks and deceptions in Albania and other countries, are the scenarios of “lack of security and protections for their members” and their lives are at risk, so they could attract local support. (MEK known as Rajavi cult among Iranian).

We saw several examples of this type of trick in Iraq, including the time of Saddam Hussein regime, including imports mortars with the Islamic Republic of Iran’s logo from the Iraqi Kurdistan and firing them to our own base Camp Ashraf (the main headquarters of the Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization in Iraq), aimed at gaining more privileges from the Iraqi government by exploiting a few true attacks of the Iranian regime.

The claim that the Iranian regime’s intention to launch a terrorist attack on the headquarters of the MEK in Tirana, the capital of Albania, during the celebration of Nowruz, which appeared in this article published in your site, is completely false and fabricated, because there have not been any media reports what so ever, including the Albanian media, and there is no report on this issue by the Albanian government, and even the MEK itself has not published absolutely no news in any of its many fake site and media.

If such a threat were true, at first sight the Mujahideen should have issued a statement at the time, that is, seven months ago, but no such claim exists.

Other claims, including the intention to blow up the cult gathering in France and the intention to spy on MEK members in the United States, are completely false and funded by the MEK propaganda machine to attract attention and obtain privileges from the authorities of the respective countries and is an effort to keep the remaining members intact which in recent months and days many of them escaped from MEK camp in Tirana. These tricks and scenarios illustrate the isolation of the MEK and are out of desperation to be display and promotion in the media.

We emphasize that the Iranian regime feels no threat or any danger from this organization, which today is more and more in a state of collapse, but in the other hand, the presence of the MEK leaders and elements that have in the past assassinated many Iranian and US personals both before and after 1979 revolution, are and will be a great danger and a threat to the security of the European and United Stated, because the leader of this cult, Masoud Rajavi repeatedly threatened to kill and murder the defectors on the streets of Europe and the United States.

A group of former members and officials of the People’s Mojahedin Organization Iran (MEK) residing in various European countries.

Albania

Open letter to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Albania ‎Fatmir Xhafaj

Honorable Mr. ‎Fatmir Xhafaj I , Zahra MOEINI, Iranian – German who had been a captive in Rajavi cult for many years and during those years of captivity , i had been deprived of getting in touch with my family and friends because this cult did not allow me to get in touch with them . I lost my health in that cult . The leaders of this cult had lied to us frequently . Mrs. Homa BASHARDOOST ,one of the members of this cult , who wanted to return to Iran to live with her children , was killed in a fake fire in that cult . Mrs. Roya who was a Iranian kordish woman, got disappeared after she told to Massoud Rajavi in a cult gathering that nobody is waiting for you in Iran .

I was witness of those events which I mentioned above . The leaders of this cult forced us to separate from our spouses and the couples who stood up against that , got disappeared .The leaders of this cult separated the couples from their children. They were sent to Iran , Europe, and United States . Some of those children got raped , some got disappeared , some who were brother and sister got separated from each other and were sent to different countries.

In 1992, I was a member of Maryam Rajavi’s security team and with 450 members of this cult ,came to France from Iraq . After coming to France , the operatives of this cult sent me to Germany to work for them in there . I was wounded badly in Iraq in one of the cult operations and the operatives of this cult did not pay attention to my injury and instead they forced me to work and collect money from German people . In 1994 , i found out about their lies ,frauds,and thefts so i decided to escape from them , because if i wanted to say to them that i want to separate , i was going to be disappeared or killed like others who got disappeared or killed before me. I escaped and I went to the German-police and i informed them about this notorious cult in details and because of that Massoud Rajavi got mad and he announced my death-sentence .

Mr Mostafa Mohammady and his wife Mrs Mahbobeh Hamzeh who are both Canadian-citizens have been in Albania to visit and rescue their beloved daughter ,Somayeh Mohammady , since two months ago . They went to Iraq from Canada to visit and rescue their daughter while this cult was in Iraq , but they were attacked and beaten up by the cult operatives . Mr Mohammady the father of Somayeh Mohammady, had been attacked and beaten up by the cult operatives in Auvers Sur Oise (the headquarter of this notorious cult) in outskirt of Paris as well.

Mr. ‎Fatmir Xhafaj ,

The letter sent to you by Miss Somayeh Mohammady , is not her words but the operatives of this cult had written that letter under her name and sent it to you . There has been a new wave of reports in Albanian-Media in support of Mr Mohammady’s family , this shows the real essence and content of this terrorist cult to the Albanian people and politicians , and the operatives of this cult in Albania are trying their best to neutralize Mr and Mrs Mohammady’s efforts to visit and rescue their daughter. In 2 September 2018 , when Rajavi cult and its operatives found out about the Albania public supports and Albania media support towards Mohammady family for the release and rescue of their beloved daughter , they brought her with another person to a tv-program with pre- prepared english writeen statement .

If Somayeh Mohammady is a free person in Rajavi cult and she has chosen freely to stay and work in that cult by her own will ,why are Mrs Maryam Rajavi and her cult operatives not willing to allow Somayeh Mohammady to visit her parents and talk with reporters and media without the presence of the cult operatives to say whatever her will is face to face to her parents and to the media as well?? The Rajavi cult is terrified if Somayeh Mohammady visits her parents freely and talk to them face to face without the presence of cult operatives, she will be impressed by her family and she will decide to separate from Rajavi cult forever and this separation will cause the separation of others in that notorious-terrorist cult so the cult operatives do not want this happens and lose control .

Mr. ‎Fatmir Xhafaj,

I asked Mrs Maryam Rajavi to have a TV-debate with us as her critics even in her own TV-station but so far our request has been ignored . I am ready and willing to share my experiences about this cult with you and with your media in Albania whenever and wherever you want

ALL THE BEST Mrs Zahra MOEINI Germany

Mujahedin Khalq Organization members' families

Let me meet my daughter

Farid Totounchi (Real name: Mahoutchi) Commander of Saddam’s Private army forcing Somayeh Mohammadi to do a “Forced confession” session in Terror camp in Albania

A day after 38-year-old Somayeh Mohammadi, a member of the MEK group which opposes the so-called Iranian regime and who publicly accused her father of being a Tehran spy, the father reacted. Through a letter to Balkanweb’s editorial office, Mostafa Mohammadi states that his daughter is held hostage by the MEK group leaders in Tirana. He points to one of the members of the MEK group in Tirana, who is called Farid Toutonchi. Among other things he writes:

“I call you the name you registered with in Albania, but your original name is Farid Mahoutchi. In Albania you are known as one of the top executives of the Mojahedin propaganda office, while in Iraq you were the commander of Tank Division 4, otherwise known as the Karun Division whose task was fighting against Iran, Arabs and rebels Kurds who opposed the regime of Saddam Hussein. In Iraq you are wanted for crimes against humanity, but in Albania with the new name and the new identity you have taken, you appear as a media man.

Through this letter we want to thank you for the show that you made of our daughter Somayeh yesterday in the News 24 media. We want to thank you for finally not using Mr Namik Kopliku and not the lawyer Margarita Kola to show our daughter to the media. Fortunately, now that Somayeh’s hostage issue is becoming international, you finally decided to remove the mask and come out in front of the television cameras.

LETTER

In your recent statement that your organization made against the British Channel 4 television company, among other things you attacked the UK government. You attacked the British Foreign Office Minister for the Middle East and North Africa, Alistair Burt, as well as attacking many journalists, lawyers, and other people who are interested in the issue of Somayeh. With the follies that only you know how to fabricate, you implicate the British government along with the Iranian government in a conspiracy against your terrorist cult. After you have beaten and threatened journalists and lawyers, cried for the Albanian government to protect you from Iran’s “terrorists”, after you have persuaded the Albanian government to close the borders to Iranian families who want to meet and save their children from your jihad, after you paid Albanians to distribute your tracts and scams in the media, finally you have come out yourself in front of the television. This is a great achievement.

In the media statement that our daughter Somayeh read in your presence, she reiterated the allegations and defamations you have made against our family for several years. Our fearful and radicalized daughter accused us of being Iranian agents sent to Albania by Iran and other idiocy that only the sick minds of Maryam Rajavi’s terrorists know to create. You made this shameful parade with our daughter whom you’ve kept hostage for 21 years. You deceived our daughter to leave Canada and left her without a family, no husband or child, no education and no future, and keep her in reserve as a terrorist for Maryam Rajavi and her war against Iran.

Commander Farid Mahoutchi, with the appearance before the media of our radicalized daughter, brainwashed and scared, and the media who have agreed to play your game and do not ask the questions that need to be asked, you have proven once again that our daughter is held hostage by your defunct terrorist organization. According not only to international human rights organization experts, but also Canadian media, there are several hundred people in your organization like Somayeh who are being held hostage. Those people at whom you chant and tell them that their parents are enemies and Iranian agents to be killed, are living in total isolation. They are not allowed to communicate with their families and are muddled by ideas of radical jihad and violent extremism.

Our daughter, reading the text written by the Mujahideen command, which was performed under your supervision, made the situation sound very frightening. Our daughter’s confession that her parents are Iranian agents and because of that she will not talk to us is similar to the confessions that ISIS hostages made in front of cameras in the presence of jihadist commanders who killed and executed those hostages. You did this too Mahoutchi / Toutonchi. In Syria there were many radicalized ISIS people who killed their parents. This is what you also intend to do Mahoutchi / Toutonchi. You have radicalized and alienated our daughter from her family and made her see us as enemies. You have removed our daughter from Canadian civilization and democracy and kept her as a soldier in your jihadist camp in Manza waiting to perform jihad against Iran. With your radical and violent extremist ideas, you have turned our daughter into a controlled and fearful robot who cannot love her mother and father, who rejects Canada and democracy and agrees to live as a suicide bomber for Maryam Rajavi to make war and jihad against Iran.

Commander Farid Mahoutchi, because you are the main hostage holder of our daughter and together with the fearsome commander and torturer Behzad Saffari, you are the two key persons who control our daughter in Albania and who threaten and violate journalists and who beat me in Tirana a few weeks ago, I’m boldly looking for a favor.

Is it possible for you to bring our daughter for just an hour to meet her mother, Mahbubeh, who is in Tirana, since I, according to you, am an Iranian agent and I have to be killed by MEK? All the enmity you are creating by attacking and threatening Albanian journalists, lawyers, beating me and accusing us of being Iranian agents, inventing agents and alienation between Albania and Iran, accusing the British government of conspiracy against you with Iran, blackmailing Albanian public opinion that Iran wants to kill you, etc., can be solved very simply.

Bring Somayeh into a public space. Let Somayeh meet for an hour alone with her mother, without your presence and the other jihadists who surround her. Trust Somayeh to live for an hour without the presence of your jihadist commanders, so that she, like all other children in the world, can meet her parents. We will not eat Somayeh. We will not take Somayeh to Iran. We will not turn her against MEK. We will simply appeal to our daughter to abandon jihad and terrorism and come with us to Canada. We know that this means one fewer self-sacrificing fighter for you, but you must let this happen if you want the democratic world to respect and see you as a democratic opposition rather than jihadist hijackers.

Can Commander Farid Mahoutchi do this little thing? We know that our daughter, who was kidnapped as a minor from Toronto, is kept as a sleeping suicide-bomber for the terrible jihad that you dream of performing against Iran one day. You as a tank commander, you have blood-stained hands, and Somayeh looks to you like a suicide bomber for the war you dream of one day.

But we, as her parents, who have been in Albania since July 5, 2018, who are going to the police and taking you to court, who you are beating and reviling as agents and terrorists, we only want one thing: to meet our daughter.

Commander Farid Mahoutchi, you should know that while the Albanian state tolerates you keeping hundreds of isolated and radicalized hostages in your camp in Manza, beating and threatening journalists and lawyers, blaming and defaming foreign governments etc, the international community sooner or later will condemn what you are doing. Somayeh is a hurricane that will severely damage you in the eyes of the world. You cannot keep hostages in Europe. Albania is not Saddam Hussein’s Iraq and you cannot behave like tank drivers and terrorists here. The threats you and Commander Behzad Saffari and others are making against Albanian and foreign journalists will not easily be forgotten. Europe cannot be intimidated by your terrorism and threats, and in no way accepts hostages and jihad.

We, Somayehs’ parents, that you have held hostage for 21 years, we have only one request. Let us meet our daughter! If you understand the minimum of civilization and democracy you have to do this! Do not behave like jihadists and criminals!

Mostafa Mohammadi and Mahbubeh Hamza

MEK holds my daughter hostage, assaulted and terrorized me in Tirana

After Interior Minister Fatmir Xhafaj, Iranian Mostafa Mohammadi has also written to Prime Minister Rama, saying he wants his daughter released. According to him, she is held hostage by Mojahedin at the Manza camp in Durrës

shqiptarja.com and Report TV ‘s editorial board have secured another exclusive letter sent by the Iranian father of 38-year-old Somayeh Mohammadi, Mostafa Mohammadi, to the highest state office. After Interior Minister Fatmir Xhafaj, Mohammadi has also written to Prime Minister Rama, saying he wants his daughter released. The letter is addressed Mr. Agron Soyat, the prime minister’s adviser on anti-terrorism.

Mostafa says he is a Canadian citizen and that the MEK organization in Manzas of Durres has held his daughter hostage for 21 years. He even says he was assaulted by members of this organization on July 27, 2018. According to him, about 50 mujahideen that same day surrounded the police station no. 4, as well as terrorizing lawyers and police in the region and calling him and his wife terrorists.

“I believe you have seen in the media how the Mojahedin beat me on July 27, 2018 near the madrasa in Tirana. Mojahed Humayun Deyhim, a person who has committed crimes in Iraq, stopped me on the street and together with 7 other Mojahedin, pushed me, struck me and then called me a terrorist, and as a result of this assault I ended up in the hospital. Then when we went to police station No. 4, the Mojahedin commanders, consisting Behzad Saffari, Jila Deyhim and Ahmad Taba (persons who committed crimes in Iraq) with around 50 Mojahedin surrounded police station No. 4 and terrorized lawyers and police in the region and called us terrorists”, he says.

The Iranian also mentions the case of British Channel 4 journalists headed by Mrs Lindsey Hilsum who says she has interviewed him about this issue.

“In a few days they labelled as Iranian agents two journalists, one from the British newspaper The Guardian, who were not given access inside their camp to see Somayeh. The violent behavior of the Mojahedin against journalists and the parents of the persons they hold hostage in their organization not new. They firebombed the Mansur hotel in Baghdad, Iraq, in 2006, when I wanted to meet my daughter and have sent a killer to kill me. I am alive thanks to US Marines who rescued me in Iraq. These facts are shown in the documentary I produced for my daughter which is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjYLhpB9Xyg, “he explains in the letter

The Girl’s Denunciation

On the other hand, a short time ago his daughter Ms. Sommyeh Mohammadi, personally went to Manza police station to file a lawsuit against him. Earlier, Somayeh wrote a letter to the Interior Minister of Albania, in which she explains that her father is in this country with a mission on behalf of the Iranian Intelligence Ministry.

Human Rights Abuse in the MEK

The girl is held hostage by Mojahedin Khalq

One day after the allegations by Iranian Mojahed resident in Albania, Somayeh Mohammadi, against her father, the father has reacted. Mostafa Mohammadi has sent a letter to Minister Fatmir Xhafaj asking for help to free the girl.

One day after the media in Tirana distributed an email from the Mojahed resident Somayeh Mohammadi, addressed to Minister Xhafaj, accusing her father, Mostafa Mohammadi, of coming to Albania to carry out acts against the Iranian group, her father has reacted. A copy of a letter that the father of the girl, Mostafa Mohammadi, has sent to Interior Minister Fatmir Xhafaj was delivered to shqiptarja.com’s newsdesk.

Somaye Mohamamdi, hostage of the MEK since she was 17

Mostafa says he is a Canadian citizen and that the MEK organization in Tirana is holding his 38-year-old daughter hostage. The father says the charges are not made by his daughter but by MEK. Mostafa lists some of the facts he says shows that the letter that was released yesterday in the media was not written by their daughter.

In the letter, Somayeh said her father, Mostafa, is an agent of the Iranian Interior Ministry, and has used her to make money.

The girl’s father’s letter:

Letter to the Minister of Interior of Albania, Fatmir Xhafaj for the freedom of Somayeh Mohammedi

Dear Minister,

We, the parents of Somayeh Mohammadi, a Canadian citizen, are very angry and insulted by the treatment that is being given to our daughter by the media, by the competent Albanian bodies as well as the MEK organization in Albania which holds our daughter hostage. The letter they sent you on July 8, 2018 is a criminal and slanderous letter.

We came to Albania, enjoying our privileges as Canadian citizens, with the sole purpose of meeting our daughter who has been held hostage by the MEK organization since 1997. We have no political agenda or policy, we just want to meet our daughter.

But this request is not facilitated by the MEK organization that has held our daughter hostage since when she was 17 years old, who was a minor when she was taken from Canada by cheating and telling us she would go to Iraq for only 2 weeks – they showed us and the two-way ticket. We did not give any written permission nor did we write to appoint any proxy guardian. But at that time we believed that MEK was a democratic organization. After our daughter did not return, this organization deceived us with various reasons why. We were forced to seek help from the Canadian authorities and, thanks to their intervention, were able to save our son, Mohammad Mohammadi, who was a Canadian citizen and who now lives with us happily on Richmond Hill near Toronto.

We emigrated to Canada as political refugees in 1994. We left Iran and headed for Turkey and later to Canada. All the family were together. We were all resident in Canada and were granted Canadian passports under Canadian asylum law, except for our daughter Somayeh, who after gaining her residency was held hostage by the organization as a minor in 1997.

Our attempts to rescue our girl from this organization did not stop, just as the aggressive allegations of this organization against us, the various physical assaults – in Paris in 2015 and 2016 – have been documented, and we will not give up our intent to rescue our daughter from this extremist and violent group because we are parents. Because it is legitimate that you want to have your daughter at home. It is good to see that she is free, married, enjoying her life in freedom and democracy, and not under the pressure of anyone.

From various others who have managed to leave this organization, we have learned that they were subjected to pressures, threats to kill their families, threats to internally imprison and physically torture them as MEK did with other members under the same conditions when they wanted to leave this extremist organization. We have learned that the MEK’s camp is guarded by armed security companies and anyone who leaves without permission and escapes, the group leaders say they will be targeted by the guards. For these reasons, our daughter does not have the opportunity to leave this camp in Albania and does not enjoy the freedoms that a free person enjoys.

Minister Xhafaj, and other interested parties,

We do not believe that the letter that is addressed to you is our daughter’s letter for several reasons:

The letter is dated July 8, 2018. We arrived on July 5, 2018 in Tirana, so how did our daughter learn that we were here when we had not met anyone yet.
Our daughter says she had wanted to leave while she was a minor when she had gone and we have evidence of how this organization enticed her to return. That is why, when we met with her in Iraq 2003 she told us, rescue me from here but be careful they don’t kill me. Why did she write a letter to the US marines asking us to rescue her?
She says she wrote a book accusing us of being Iranian agents, even the Albanian media say we are getting our (her parents’) visas from Iran. How does our daughter have access to these kinds of documents that are official and personal? Or is it the organization that wrote the letter and only their cooperation with different regimes and intelligence agencies could provide them with these data. However, it is not factual to accuse us of anything politically since we do not carry out any political activity related to Iran otherwise we would have lost the right to asylum in Canada or we would have been prosecuted by the Canadian authorities.
If it is true that our daughter says she will remain in this organization by her own free will, how can we believe this, when there is no psychologist in the world to confirm such free will as normal or normal mental development for a person over 20 years without meeting with her family. What did MEK make out of our daughter? How has it managed to eradicate the feelings of love and care for her family? The accusations in Somayeh’s letter resemble the accusations of Enver Hoxha’s regime in Albania against the class enemies who were accused of being agents and whose children were forced to curse and renounce their parents.
I can provide photos before and after her membership in MEK, that show that Somayeh had a strong relationship with me as her father and with the other family members. So we cannot accept and believe that these are the true thoughts of our daughter. Our girl who is kept in isolation, fearful of Iranian bogeymen, blatantly violent with the ideas of radicalism and violent extremism, is the victim of a very dangerous sect.
We believe and have witnesses from the ex-Mojahedin who have left the extremist organization and live in Tirana, that our daughter lives in conditions of torture and inhuman treatment by the MEK jihadists. Therefore we request that you guarantee by law, constitution and international conventions; freedom of movement for our daughter; prohibition of torture and ill-treatment of a human being by a foreign organization within Albanian territory, as this is a legal obligation of your Ministry, as well as relieving you of the allegations of support for inhumane acts that this organization carries out within Albanian territory, in violation of all international human rights conventions signed by your state.

Mr. Minister, we ask for your help and ask this:

What is the reason we cannot meet with our daughter? Is this not deprivation of freedom of movement? Why do the Albanian authorities not prevent the violation of human rights by a foreign organization within Albanian territory? Why are we, as Canadian parents, treated as criminals and this organization is favoured by meeting at the directorate level in your ministry while we are deprived of this right? How can the pledge hold more than 2 parents? How can you tolerate a jihadist organization accusing two elderly parents of being agents, Western citizens who want to meet their own relative?

We have not carried out any political activity within your country and there are no grounds for slander against us in the hope we get frustrated and afraid so that we will leave your country without meeting our daughter.

Please allow us to meet our daughter outside the territory of these jihadist kidnappers! Allow us to exercise our legitimate right of parental responsibility guaranteed by any national and international law.

Honorably Yours,

Open letters to Albanian Government

Mr. Davood Arshad’s letter to the Albanian Government handed over to Albanian embassy officials in Germany on the participation of the Minister of Immigration of Albania Mr. Pandeli Mijko in Mujahidin-e-Khagq’s (Mek) gathering in Villepin-Paris

Dear Albanian Government

I am Mr. Davood Baghervand Arshad a senior and high ranking officials of the Mek (Rajavi Sect) and members of the National Council for Resistance who has been defected from this sect because of its totalitarianism and terrorism.

I was deeply saddened by the news of Mr. Pandeli Mijko, the Minister of immigration affairs of Albania taking part in Mek’s gathering show in Paris.

It is most unfortunate that a terrorist group with well-known mafia tricks can deceive a Minister of a European Government to participate in the showcase of diverse population of refugees gathered from different refugee camps in Europe plus homeless Eastern Europeans, which have been bussed in return for an all-inclusive free three day trip to Paris plus pocket money in order to pretend to have Iranians supporting their gathering with the aim of deceiving and influencing their audience and some already deceived politicians in the gathering as a strongly supported Iranian opposition.

It is also unfortunate to see the extent that Mek if prepared to deceive the Iranians and their audience by insulting their conscience. This is despite the fact that Mek’s dirty trick has been disclosed by the Western media for hundreds of times. One of the last but not least, was the Guardian newspaper Mon 2 Jul 2018, that wrote:

Many in the crowd of about 4,000 that Giuliani was addressing were eastern Europeans bussed in to attend the event in return for a weekend trip to Paris

I would like to add that Mr. Pandeli Mijko took part in its gathering, committed a terrorist act by beating up two of its critics in front of EU Parliament in Brussels in December 2017 during which Mr. Denis MacShane a former Labour MP was also beaten up by Maryam Rajavi’s agents.

The incident raised the EU Parliamentarian’s serious concerns to the point that MEP Ana Gomes raised the issue as a barbaric act and a treat to EU and EU MEP members and asked Ms. Mogerini to expel all the MEK’s agents from EU Parliament.

English Standard newspaper mentioned the incident as:

DON’T mess with Denis MacShane! The former Labor MP, author and Good Samaritan is in Brussels, and says that he stepped in to help a man in a street attack yesterday, only to get a beating himself. “Outside European Parliament thugs from People’s Mujahedin of Iran violently attacking elderly man, hitting with sticks, kicks etc,” he tweeted yesterday. “I told them to stop it, so they started attacking me with sticks, fists etc. And we weren’t even discussing Brexit!”

Evening Standard

With regards to the above case and the methods Mek deals with its dissident members in broad day light in front of EU Parliament, would it be difficult to imagine MEK’s reaction to the opposition of its members inside their close cult?

Let me also add that the situation of human right abuse in Mek is so grave that even the son of Masoud Rajavi, Mohammad Rajvi one of the victims of this organization having defected MEK announced that will disclose all his father’s atrocities.

Does this raise enough concern not to take part in the empty shows of strength of Mek?

If the above said is not enough, as an ex-high ranking member of Mek and it National Council of Resistance, may I bring to the attention of the honorable Minister of immigration Mr. Pandeli Majko that:

Masoud and Maryam Rajavi hired about 2000 young Iraqis and trained them militarily and ideologically to be utilized throughout Iraq to collect information about coalition forces movements resulting in many deathly attacks on them, also to destabilize Iraq in order to topple the Iraqi government, so the Ex-Baath party leaders active in ISIS could take power in Iraq again, giving Masoud and Maryam Rajavi a free hand as before at the Saddam’s time? Mek officers who have been involved in training the 2000 terrorists are present for testimony.

Furthermore Mek created false Arab-Iraqi organizations by paying some villagers anxious for money under total embargo and aftermath of Golf war, to issue and release support communiques about MEK. All these atrocities were of course later disclosed by Iraqi Government officials in the media.

In this regards may I also share with you some of the experience of only two governments that have been very closely dealing with Mek for four decades such as Saudi Arabia and Franc, may that prevent the future backlash of overlooking the nature of MEK in your country by their host country.

The first document is how Saudi Arabia that is a strong financial and political supporter of MEK evaluates Mek.

The translation of the Arabic WikiLiks document is as follows:

In the Name of God the Merciful

The Head Saudi Intelligence

Ref No. 2113/510-18/12/35

Date: Jan 9, 2012; 15/02/1433

Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Head of Saudi Intelligence (101)

Confidential Letter

Subject: About Maryam Rajavi

His Royal Highness the Prince, the of Secretary of State

Peace, mercy and blessings be upon you

With regards to the letter of the Prince ref, 51173/2/7 , on 13/02/1433 AH 7/2/50173 (equivalent to the January 7, 2012 AD – Translator),with regards to the message you received from Dr. Amer al-Tamimi, which in that message, he suggested to arrange a private meeting with Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian head of MKO in Paris, and following that your Highness demanding the view point of the head of information Organization with regards to this request, we would like to inform His Highness as follows:

With regards to His Highness’s question and surprise in relation to the request letter of Dr. Amer Al Tamaimi stating that he is prepared to arrange a meeting with Maryam Rajavi apart from Dr. Saleh AL Motlaq and without his knowledge; the Head of Saudi Intelligence believes that, Dr. Al Tamimi’s request means that he is prepared to arrange an independent meeting without the knowledge of Dr. Al Motlaq, because he wishes to keep this meeting a secret and he also bears the responsibility for the meeting, also stating that Dr. Al Motlaq has no knowledge about it.

All the existing information tells us that, the Iranian Intelligence Services has infiltrated the Iranian Mojahedine Khalq Organization (MKO). Also this organization (MKO) has no role and effect in Iranian affairs and has no acceptance within Iran.

The second document is how French government considers Mek.

At the end my main concern are our family members and friends still enslaved by Mek in Tirana as the basic human rights to be facilitated the basic needs of free choice, free communications, and contact with parents and family members.

Sincerely yours

Davood Baghervand Arshad

Mujahedin Khalq Organization members' families

Letter to Ms. Federica Mogherini,

Letter to Ms. Federica Mogherini, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice‐President of the European Commission

Ms Federica MOGHERINI

High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice‐President of the European Commission

Brussels – July 1^st, 2018

Dear Ms Mogherini,

With regards, we are the family of Malek Shara’i. He was captive inside the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK, MKO, NCR, NLA, Rajavi Cult) in Albania. He spent the last 21 years as a modern slave in the organization.

Now after these long years, despite all the futile efforts that we made to see our loved one, we learned that Malek Shara’i, who, according to the evidence had most probably decided to leave the organization, was brutally murdered while trying to escape.

The MEK announced in a statement that Malek had drowned in a reservoir near to the MEK camp in the suburbs of Tirana, but not the slightest sign was found to prove this claim after two weeks of searching by expert divers and local police.

Malek was a professional swimmer as well as having been trained as a diver and lifeguard. Therefore the MEK’s hollow statement that he first saved someone and then later could not save himself is not acceptable.

Unfortunately, the Albanian authorities are silent in this matter, under the pressure of a terrorist cult, and do not make any moves and have even instructed the local police in writing to close the file and announce him as a missing person. No thorough investigation was made inside the MEK camp and among its residents.

Malek is not the first person who has been physically eliminated for opposing the policies and deeds of the cult. Our main concern is that he may not be the last.

We want to know how a terrorist cult can take up residence in a remote place in Europe and have an open hand to eliminate its discontented members. Why have the police and the authorities tried to close this controversial file as soon as possible? Has the body been found or is it known how he was killed that the organization announces him dead?

Ms. Mogherini

We members of Malek’s family (mother, brothers and sisters) urge you to question the Albanian government about why they have given in to a terrorist cult and have stopped the investigations and keep silent about it? The local authorities announced that no corpse has been found in the reservoir and therefore the MEK’s claim is a fabricated lie.

We wish you to intervene and ask the Albanian representatives and authorities, whose country has applied to join the EU, for explanations. The Albanian media have written about this matter but have had no impact at all. They have clearly written that to find the corpse they must look inside the MEK camp and not inside the reservoir. This is something the investigators must now be required to do.

Yours sincerely,

Mother: Masoumeh Torkamani

Brother: Hossein Shara’i

Brother: Jamal Shara’i

Open Letter to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees in Albania

Open Letter from the “Free Iran” Association to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees in Albania

We would like to inform you that the authors of this paper are human rights activists who have had a history of organizational co-operation with the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization under the leadership of Masood Rajavi and Maryam Rajavi in Iraq and Albania, but due to political differences and access terrorist and sectarian organizations of this organization have been separated from this organization.

We, besides appreciating the efforts of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees in Albania, we consider it necessary to further help and informing for the work of refugees and members of Mojahedin-e Khalq who wish to separate from this organization or those who have already been separated from this organization.

According to the close knowledge and experience of our long-standing cooperation (10-30 years) with the Mojahedin-Khalq organization and also the reports published by the police and the Albanian Interior Ministry and the new members who abandoned the Mojahedine organization, we believe that the process of brainwashing and the isolation of persons and arrestees within the organization goes further to the base of Mojahedin-e Khalq in Albania.

But in spite of inhuman and illegal conditions, members of Mojahedin-e Khalq have created the conditions for being separated from the mental and physical occupation of this cult. Unfortunately, UNHCR unlawfully and in violation of the fundamental human rights provisions has deviated from some of its responsibilities by entrusting the cult of Mojahedin-e Khalq and has allowed this organization to made inhumane pressures to its members who, according to international law, are recognized as refugees and have not paid attention to the problems that these people have reported to UNHCR’s offices in Albania, while not being able to exercise their fundamental rights.

Under the provisions of international law and the fundamental obligations of the UNHCR High Commissioner for the Protection of Refugee Rights, we have been waiting for you to help these refugees who have been separated from the cult of Mojahedin-e Khalq. But our reports show that this is not true and that the process of staying and legal issues in Albania are facing with serious obstacles.

The UNHCR High Commissioner should provide direct financial assistance to all refugees, regardless of this if, he has been disconnected from the Mojahedin-e Khalq organization in Albania or is still present there. According to you, can the UNHCR High Commissioner entrust his responsibilities to a terrorist cult who has committed thousands of terrorist operations and human rights violations in his story?

International human rights organizations have made various reports on the negative performance of the organization, as can be seen from the Human Rights Watch report on widespread human rights violations in the camps of this organization.

Currently, over 240 members of Mojahedin-e Khalq, who have been part of this organization, reside in Tirana, where police and the Interior Ministry of Albania are in contact with them, they have also confirmed the brainwashing of prisoners at the headquarters of Mojahedin-e Khalq in Albania, which are in line with the reports of international human rights organizations.

Now arises the question that, how UNHCR’s High Commissioner some parts of his formal and organizational responsibilities trusts to a sectarian and violent organization?

Are not UNHCR officials in Albania aware that the Mojahedin organization treats its members as slaves and does not allow them to meet and talk with their families?

We hope that UNHCR in Albania closely monitor the works and responsibilities of its staff, in order to provide better conditions for refugees separated from the Mojahedin-e Khalk Organization.

With respect,

Association “Free Iran-Mojahedin-e Khalq survivors in Albania”

Dedicated copies for:

– Interior Ministry of Albania

– Albanian representatives in the European Parliament in Albanian
