Keep Mojahedin Khalq on terrorist List

Open letter of Ali Akbar Rastgoo to the Australian Ambassador in Germany: Keep Mojahedin Khalq on terrorist List

Australian Embassy

Wallstraße 76-79

10179 Berlin

Dear Ambassador David James RitchieAO,

On November the 25th the listing of the Iranian “Mojahedin-e Khalq” organization (MKO/MEK), aka “People´s Mojahedin Organization of Iran” (PMOI) with its political wing, the “National Council of Resistance of Iran” (NCRI) and its military wing, the “National Liberation Army” (NLA) on the Consolidated List has to be extended.

Since years, the MKO tries to appear as a democratic exile-opposition, calling themselves “the Iranian resistance”. They spent a lot of money to acquire support from international former political and military officials and launched a huge public-relations-campaign to present themselves as the “only alternative to the Iranian regime”.

But behind the wall, the MKO is a cultish organization with no support among the most Iranians (exiles as well as those living in Iran). The majority of the Iranians despise the MKO for their alliance with Saddam Hussein in the 80s and for their position against the nuclear program (by most of the Iranian population the program is seen as a legitimate right). At least there is the occult and even messianic image, which has been arranged to Maryam Rajavi “President-elect” and “Sun of the Revolution” and the cultish structure of the organization, which raises questions of democracy within the organization itself because Maryam Rajavi remained the President of the organization since her “election” in 1993 without any sign of political pluralism.

Daniel Benjamin, the former U.S. State Department’s counterterror coordinator, told the FP-Website 2015: “Being delisted as a Foreign Terrorist Organization — a decision I took part in — doesn’t mean that this group … has suddenly … become trustworthy or worthy of engagement.”[2], beat up critical demonstrators in Saint-Michel in 2012[4].

With cyber-attacks they crashed several homepages from former members and critics.

They denounce former members and critics as “agents of the Iranian intelligence” in general.

A lot of MKO-members took part in a large number of hunger strikes in the last years (also in Australia) and so revealed servile obedience to their leader, Maryam Rajavi. You may not forget the self-illumination-protest by MKO-members after the French police raid the MKO headquarter in Paris in 2003.

A speaker of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs told in June 27th 2014:

“France has no contact with the “People’s Mujahedin Organization of Iran” which is known for its use of violence. It has no legal existence in France as an organization. Its violent and undemocratic Ideology has been exposed by several human rights organizations, such as Amnesty International who have reported on the organization’s cultic practices and its refusal to formally renounce violence. We also warn about the intense campaign of disinformation and influence it leads”.[2], includes armed attacks and assassinations against Iranian Government personnel and property, murdering of US military and civilians and the simultaneous attacks on Iranian embassies worldwide, including Australia. With regard to this and in the light of the MKO-activities in the last years, the MKO seems not to have renounced violence seriously.

As an organization of MKO-dropouts we are well connected to the latest dropouts coming directly from Camp Liberty.

We would like to meet you or the responsible official in the embassy in Berlin or in the consulate general in Frankfurt to inform you about the latest new from inside the MKO, especially about the ties between the MKO and ISIS.

This could be interesting regarding the Listing of the MKO and the upcoming decision to extend the MKO-listing, or not.

We would be very happy to be invited to share our information.

Yours sincerely,

AAWA Association e.V.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization's Propaganda System

Open letter to Beata Szydło, Prime Minister of Poland

Dear Mrs. Beata Szydło Prime Minister of Poland,

As you are aware, extremist cultic groups like ISIS, in line with their devious agendas, are now engaged heavily in recruiting in European countries. The Mojahedin Khalq of Iran (aka Rajavi cult) led by Maryam Rajavi is one of the oldest and most dangerous of these cultic groups. It is now over 30 years that the members of this cult have been exiled from Iran and the group is notoriously despised by Iranians inside and outside the country. Iranians have a good understanding about this cult therefore no Iranian would join their programs. It because of this lack of support that the Mojahedin Khalq, like ISIS, is recruiting from European citizens.

This is not the first year that the Mojahedin Khalq is recruiting youngsters from Poland to attend their yearly propaganda program glorifying terrorism. They offer prices of less than 15 percent of the real cost of holidays in Paris to the young students from Poland and exploit their lack of knowledge about Iranian politics and their lack of knowledge of Persian language in order to fill the hall with an audience for their yearly meeting which is held to glorify terrorism this year on July 09 2016.

Dear Prime Minister,

I was a member of this organisation for over 30 years and I am one of the fortunate ones who was able to run away safely from this cult. I would like to bring to your attention and warn your good self to watch out for the traps put in front of the Polish youth and students so they do not fall foul of the tricks of the Mojahedin Khalq (Rajavi cult). Today we can see the terrifying crimes committed by ISIS in Iraq, Syria, Libya and beyond. Some of these crimes are committed by the people recruited from European countries. Rajavi is no better. Rajavi is using the same tactics and follows the same rules. Some of the evidence, documents and links to Polish language websites and social media which have been created and used by Mojahedin Khalq to recruit students are:

Yours faithfully,

Mohammad Karami,

Ex-member and survivor of Mojahedin Khalq Organisation (Rajavi cult)

Mujahedin Khalq Organization's Propaganda System

Do not participate in the gathering of a cultic terrorist organisation

Condemn and Boycott the anniversary of violence and terrorism

Open letter from the Iranian Pen Club to foreign citizens who intend to participate in the Rajavi cult’s gathering in Paris

Greetings and with respect to you all.

The Iran-Ghalam (Pen) Club consists of former members with more than twenty years record of service in the People’s Mojahedin Organization. We are informed that Maryam Rajavi will hold a ceremony to commemorate violence and terrorism in Villepinte, Paris this year like previous years, and she has invited you to attend this notorious ceremony as well. Regarding this invitation, the Iran-Ghalam Club decided to write this letter to remind you of the following facts about this cult organization.

Dear friends,

According to international news agencies, in 2003 when Maryam Rajavi and some of pmoi operatives got arrested in France , 11 million dollars was found in their headquarter in Auvers sur Oise . The PMOI leadership forced some of their followers and members in France and in Europe in front of the French Embassy and in USA to set themselves on fire to show their anger about the arrest of Maryam Rajavi . the leadership of pmoi wanted to create panic and fear among the French people to force The French government to release Maryam Rajavi as soon as possible . unfortunately two People – Sadighe Mojaveri and Neda Hosseini – lost their lives by sels-immolation carried out under pressure Maryam Rajavi praised this violent cutic Action and called the victims “sacred martyrs”

In june 1981 , Mojahedin Khalq announced the resumption of “Armed Struggle” and “ Terrorism” which led to thousands of deaths and a surge in violence and destruction.

Mojahedin Khalgh now celbrates the anniversary of These two Events every year. The celebration of their commitment to violence, terrorism and cultic beliefs.

Are you aware that the People’s Mojahedin Organization has changed from a political and revolutionary organization to a cult led by Massoud and Maryam Rajavi? And do you know that as a result of all its cultic and terrorist activities, it has a black record of treason and crimes against the Iranian people?

Do you know that this organization, despite its claim that it is a democratic organization and is an advocate for human rights and is fighting against fundamentalism, but inside its medieval relations there is a severe breach of human rights and censorship and inquisition and political strangulation and severe suppression in this so-called organization?

Do you know that the leader of this cult does not tolerate hearing the smallest criticism and that he issued an audio-tape on 11 Aban 1393 against all his opponents and critics, in particular the separated members of this notorious cult, and that in this audio-tape he threatened all his opponents, critics and separated members with death?

Do you know that the People’s Mojahedin Organization, despite its claim of supporting the women’s movement and its claim to support the slogan ‘freedom for women’, in its medieval relations the women members are annoyed and harassed and sexually abused by Massoud Rajavi and he has forced them to get divorced from their husbands and be separated from their children?

Do you know that this terrorist organization supports the other terrorist organizations in Syria and Daesh (ISIS) in Iraq, which it calls “Revolutionary Nomads”, and that they are more dangerous than Daesh (ISIS)?

Dear friends,

Do you know that this organization through its interference in Iraq’s political affairs and with a variety of excuses such as the protection of Camp Ashraf and its property, has caused the deaths of many of its members in Iraq and right now with a variety of excuses hampers the meeting of relatives and families with their loved ones in Camp Liberty in Iraq, and it hampers transferring those stranded members from the hell-hole of Iraq to safe countries by creating many false obstacles?

Dear friends,

Because of the treason committed by the leadership of the PMOI (Massoud and Maryam Rajavi) and the operatives of this notorious organization against the Iranian people, this cult not only has no popular support among the Iranian people, but instead the Iranian people hate their guts. For this reason they are not capable of attracting Iranian people who live outside Iran to this notorious and ridiculous ceremony in Villepinte. For that reason they want to drag you into this notorious ceremony to commemorate the anniversary of terrorism and violence in order to take full political advantage of your presence in this ceremony.

With all these facts mentioned above, we advise you not to participate in such a ceremony which is organized by a terrorist and cultic organization. Because despite its claim that it is the most democratic political group, each year it commemorates the anniversary of terrorism and violence and it continues to insist on the strategy of violence and terrorism. So, by participating in this ceremony you are helping to fortify the terrorist and anti-democratic front. We are sure you do not have any intention of fortifying the terrorist and anti-democratic nature of this group, so not only should you not you participate in this ridiculous ceremony, but you should instead boycott and condemn it.

All the best,

Iranian Pen Club, Germany

Mujahedin Khalq Organization's Propaganda System

Ex MKO High-ranking member pens letter to David Jones MP

House of Commons, London, SW1A 0AA

Tel: 020 7219 8070

Rt Hon David Jones MP

Dear Sir,

It is unfortunate to witness your recent meeting with Maryam Rajavi in Auvers sur Oise north of Paris.

I am sure that your intention is to support the cause of the Iranian People. But in Auvers sur Oise you have knocked on the wrong door and even worsen the pains of Iranians that have in the last 3-4 decades suffered from Mek’s terrorism and extremism.

I am Davood B. Arshad UK educated, ex high ranking member of the Mek and also National Council of Resistance for nearly 30 years.

Dear Mr. Jones,

One cannot question the intentions of anybody. But in either case, weather it is financial and personal benefits or political interests, it does not seem to be befitting to play with the lives of the people such as me and my colleagues entangled in Mek that have left best lives that one could imagine and joined the Mujahidin with the outlook of democracy, but later found out that they themselves are the victims of dictatorship and terrorism enforced by Masoud and Maryam Rajavi in a Cult.

The people in the Liberty Camp of Iraq are the gun powder for Maryam and Masoud Rajavi’s political battles in the West to deceive the western democracy and pretend to be liberal and democratic. The more this gun powder burns, the more sound it makes and attracts media coverage and support from within the politicians for the couple.

How could one shake hands in the 21th Century with people that claim to be the Calipha and to be sent by the God and represents the God on the Earth and also practices being the owner of the blood, breath, life and all belongings of the mankind?

It is in this context that Maryam Rajavi arranges Harem full of women members for his “Calipha” Masoud Rajavi. If in doubt please ask Maryam Rajavi to officially deny it. Since she may deceivingly do that verbally and in private, where if done officially all the Mojahedin will know that Masoud Rajavi’s “Calipha” sleeping with them or their wives is a criminal act and does not bring eternal freedom as Maryam Rajavi puts it to deceive the women in order to sleep with Masoud Rajavi.

Members who have been under harshest situations beyond imaginations either in hiding or in the prisons in Iran and later in Iraq, have been under unbelievable mental and psychological mind manipulations to keep silence otherwise been jailed, beaten, tortured and even killed to obey such medieval dictatorial Caliphate rule that takes his or her orders as the word of God.

Dear sir I and all the people who have succeeded in escaping Mek even women who have experienced Masoud Rajavi’s Harem are prepared to report to you in person.

Dear MP,

How could one shake hands with or support people that in an agreement with one of the most notorious contemporary dictators (Saddam Hussein) to suppress his or her own members?

Did you know that the price of leaving Mek, was at least 2-4 years jail inside the Cult, then being handed over to Saddam Hussain to be jailed at least for 8 years?

Did you know that the sentence for the women member to escape is only death? This is the sentence set by Maryam Rajavi Sir.

Did you know that women were systematically abused sexually so they would think of Rajavi as their husband to stop them from leaving the organization?

Members who used to escape were hunted and if were not lucky enough, arrested, beaten, jailed, interrogated under torture and force obtained written confesses that they are anti-revolutionary and agents of Iran or Foreign Service?

How could an organization set promotion of the member’s rank and file if only they were prepared to cut the dissident members to pieces? Masoud Rajavi has clearly and loudly and for times and again said that we will hunt and kill any defector even in Europe.

To avoid wasting your valuable time, thousands more facts are kept in my heart and mind, but does the one in thousand said above not recall the Stalin in Russia, Pol Pot in Cambodian, or the medieval systems in Europe and ISIS and Al Qaeda?

Did you know that Mek is the God father of Terrorism in the Middle East? Mek utilized 13 years old girls as suicide bomber since 1981 in Iran.

Mek’s Iraqi Fighters

Did you know that this organization has trained 2000 Iraqis for terrorist purposes?

Mek took advantage of a decade long total embargo of Iraq which had left Iraq in a complete ruins, families and tribes were in desperate needs for almost everything especially for the employment of their young people. In this context, 2000 Iraqi young people from the villagers in Dialy Province which the Ashraf Camp was situated in and also from elsewhere recommended by these families in Dialy were recruited and were paid and full boarded in Ashraf Camp.

PMOI recruitment was done under the false name to labor work for PMOI which was translated into working in Camp Ashraf in different support and logistics fields. The recruited people were under aged where in most cases the salary was paid to their parents.

Your Honor,

I don’t think for any political, economic, or personal reasons or interests it is appropriate to support such a Cult, by closing your eyes to the thousands of facts and only listen to deceiving words of Maryam Rajavi front office for the Calipha (Masoud Rajavi).

Yours Sincerely,

Davood B Arshad

Mujahedin Khalq Organization's Propaganda System

Open letter to Michael James Tottoen

Dear Mr. Totten,

As we have been told, you are invited to take part in the “Grand gathering for Free Iran in Paris (Bourget) July 9th” (https://www.facebook.com/events/972865329487097/).

This gathering is organized by the Iranian “Mojahedin-e Khalq-Organization (MEK/MKO)” aka “Peoples Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI)” or “National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI)”.

As a journalist with knowledge about the middle east, especially Iraq and Iran, you certainly know that the MEK is a cultish organization with no support among the most Iranians (exiles as those living in Iran). The majority of the Iranians despise the MEK for their alliance with Saddam Hussein in the 80s and for their position against the nuclear program (by most of the Iranian population the program is seen as a legitimate right). At least there is the occult and even messianic image, which has been arranged to Maryam Rajavi “President-elect” and “Sun of the Revolution” and the cultish structure of the organization, which raises questions of democracy within the organization itself because Maryam Rajavi remained the President of the organization since her “election” in 1993 without any sign of political pluralism.

Taking part in the gathering on July 9thwill not support human rights and democracy in Iran!

Taking part in the gathering on July 9thwill not reduce executions and torture inside Iran!

Taking part in the gathering on July 9thwill not stop religiously motivated violence and terror in the middle east!

Participate in the MEK-propaganda-event on July 9thonly means to support a hypocritical cult!

Best wishes,

AAWA Association e.V.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

Open letter to Brian Medvi, Phil Glendenning, Meridis Bergman, David Martin Shoebridge and Laurie Donald Thomas Fereguson

Honorable Father Brian Medvi, Mr Phil Glendenning, Dr Meridis Bergman, Mr David Martin Shoebridge, Mr Laurie Donald Thomas Fereguson,

Greetings to you all.

My name is Mr Hassan Piransar and unfortunately I was a member of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran for 25 years.

I sacrificed everything which was precious in my life for my beliefs: I lost my parents, I lost my youth, I lost my future – right now I am 55 years old. I am lonely in this world without any future, without the love of my parents and the people who loved me. Yes, I am alone and betrayed in this world. I’ll tell you why.

I was informed by my friends in the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran that you have all been invited to their gathering on 9th of July this year. Do you want to know why I said I lost everything?

I lost everything because I trusted this organization. I was a lover of freedom and democracy for my country, Iran. But unfortunately I was deceived by this organization and its leadership and as a result I not only lost everything in my life but also I did not achieve my objectives which were freedom and democracy in Iran.

I want to tell you all this so that you do not make the same mistake which I made for 25 years. I urge you not to participate in their gathering. The organisers just want to take advantage of your name and your position in society. Believe me, after 25 years of wasting my time in their organization, now I am sure that they are not essentially any different from Daesh and in my opinion they are even more dangerous.

I just want to say that participating in their gathering is like affirming the beheading of innocent people by Daesh and other terrorist organizations.

Now you know my name and my Email. I am ready to give you more information about this notorious and dangerous cult if you are interested in finding out more.

Please do not participate in their gathering. Your participation only confirms their ability to destroy the lives of people like me who trusted them.

Please do not participate. Ask them instead about me and about others who lost everything in their lives because they were betrayed by them.

I wish you the best in your life and in your work.

UN High Commissioner for Refugees

41 families of prisoners in Rajavi cult write to Filippo Grandi, High Commissioner for Refugees

Dear Mr. Filippo Grandi, High Commissioner for Refugees.

We are a group of families who have come to Iraq in the hope of visiting our loved ones who are incarcerated in Camp Liberty. From 23rd to 26th of May 2016 we have presented ourselves four times at the gates of the Mojahedin Khalq’s camp (Liberty) bringing flowers and sweets and presents including tokens of our country’s soil. We have come in good faith and with clean hearts, without any feelings of hostility or even criticism against the leaders of the Mojahedin Khalq (MKO, MEK, NCRI …). Our only hope has been to meet with our family members. But the cult minders and guards not only did not show any friendly gesture or regard for our simple demands, instead they crushed our presents (the soil of our county which is obviously precious for us) under their boots, destroyed and burned the flowers and gifts we brought. On 26th May 2016 they increased their hostile activities and, adding to the usual swearing and insults, they started attacking us physically, injuring some.

I would like to bring to your attention some parts of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights UDHR):

“Article 13.

(1) Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each state.

And:

Article 16.

(…)

(3) The family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State.”

Link to UDHR

http://www.un.org/en/universal-declaration-human-rights/index.html

Your colleagues from the UNHCR attended the scene shortly after we were attacked by the Mojahedin Khalq (MKO) and witnessed the situation. There are also photos and video clips which can be presented as evidence. All the families involved in this event are, of course, ready to give evidence about what happened.

Our question is why your good self and your organisation which clearly witnessed the injustice and the abuse of our human rights in front of the gates of Camp Liberty are silent and why is it that you do not wish to act to restore our rights?

How do you explain your double standards to the on looking international community?

We don’t have any demand but just a simple one. We demand the right to visit our children. Why is it that your do not engage to restore this simple human right which has been abused for long enough right in front of you?

We urge your good self to take notice of our basic, legal, humanitarian demand.

The Mojahedin Khalq (MKO, MEK, ….) claim that we are “agents of the intelligence ministry of Iran” and not the families of the people trapped inside camp Liberty. The Mojahedin Khalq have long used this excuse to prevent us from visiting our loved ones. To take away this ridiculous excuse we would now like to ask you and your organisation (UNHCR) to take charge of our trips to Iraq and arrange simple and basic meetings with our loved ones outside the confines of Camp Liberty and without the presence of Mojahedin Khalq minders and commanders. We are of course ready to bear the expenses but we need this trip to Iraq to be under your supervision and command. Our country is a member of United Nations and pays its yearly dues accordingly. It is part of your duty to give us an official answer.

We now wait for your reply.

Iran,

Iranpur family write to Mr. Kubiš (UNAMI), about their loved ones taken hostage by Mojahedin Khalq

Dear Mr. Kubiš

I need to offer some clarifications in regards with the letter my son, Mohammad Reza Iranpur, to you, which was published in Iran Probe website (www.iran-efshagari.com), belonging to People’s Mujahedin of Iran (Mojahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MEK)), on June 17, 2016.

We, the members of Iranpur family, have been deprived from visiting our two sons, Mohammad Reza and Ahmad Reza, and our repeated requests to international organizations and also the Mojahedin-e-Khalq Organization for visiting them have remained unanswered. Now, after our recent three trips to Iraq and appearance in from of Camp Liberty in this year, Mojahedin-e-Khalq Organization has published a letter attributed to my elder son, Mohammad Reza. However, considering the way we know our child and also the testimony of several people who have been freed from Mojahedin-e-Khalq Organization and their claims of duress mental and physical pressures on people living in Camp Liberty and the abuse of the organization through publishing letters and statements in their names, I have to inform you that the aforementioned letter is not written by my child and the claims of Mojahedin-e-Khalq Organization in this letter are utter lies.

We have an average educated urban family and we have no political affiliation of any governmental and non-governmental groups or institutions, and all of requests for unsurveilled meeting with our loved ones and also the trips to Iraq, have been planned and conducted on our own and the only help Iranian government has facilitated the process of getting a visa, which is a prerequisite for leaving the country and all Iranians have this privilege. Hence, the claim of Mojahedin-e-Khalq Organization in this letter and affiliating us with the Iranian intelligence service is pure lie. It has to be mentioned that our message to the residents of Camp Liberty and out two children in our repeated visits to Camp Liberty has been love, peace and invitation for unsurveilled meeting and it has never contained any threats.

Based on testimony of Mojahedin-e-Khalq Organization detached members, all individuals in Mojahedin-e-Khalq Organization are denied the right to access free information, unbiased news agencies, the Internet and cellphones. Hence, my child could not have been able to write and publish such a letter.

This family denies what has been claimed in the published letter on the relationship between our children and supporters of Mojahedin-e-Khalq Organization and the tendency towards joining this organization and we state that out children exited Iran and deceived by a person named Sajjad Sepehri in order to migrate to Europe or Canada, while they were kidnapped by the origination’s members and transferred to Iraq.

In that letter, Mojahedin-e-Khalq Organization has claimed that the real family of the Camp Liberty residents are prisoned in Iranian prisons and we are not their family. We hereby state that we have never been scrutinized, punished or prisoned by the Iranian government because of presence of our children in Mojahedin-e-Khalq Organization’s camps in Iraq, so far and we are ready to perform the DNA test to prove our family ties with Mohammad Reza and Ahmad Reza.

However, I would like to ask you why Mojahedin-e-Khalq Organization publishes pure lies and accuses the family members of the residents of Camp Liberty of things, instead of letting our children meet us.

It is obvious that if such the opportunity for unsurveilled meetings arises, their lies and accusations will be surfaced and our children will not hesitate even a second to come back to their families.

Mr. Kubiš, at the end, we, members of Iranpur family, again insist on arranging an unsurveilled meeting with my children in your presence, which is my right, and ask for your assistance.

We, members of Iranpur family, express our concern about the lives of Mohammad Reza and Ahmad Reza, since we believe that their lives are at risk due to the threat from Mojahedin-e-Khalq Organization in order to prevent us from travelling to Iraq and our appearance in from of Camp Liberty. Hereby, we state that we consider your responsible for protecting the health and life of my two children.

With the hope for your endless success in your benevolent humanitarian efforts

Members of Iranpur Family:

‘Abdolhoseyn Iranpur the father, Tahere Taqipur the mother, ‘Abdolhamid Iranpur the brother, Mahmonir, Homa, Narges and Rahele Iranpur the sisters of Mohammad Reza and Ahmad Reza Iranpur

UN High Commissioner for Refugees

Families open letter to UN High Commissioner for Refugees (Albania)

Dear sir/Madam,

We are the families of prisoners imprisoned in Albania by the Mojahedin-e-Khalq. We write this letter to inform you that after years of captivity in Iraq, our children, while some of them were captured by Mojahedin-e-Khalq in the Iran – Iraq war as a soldiers for their country and others were captured by Iraqi soldiers sold to this organization by Saddam Hussein. And some others were young people who were out in the hope of education or employment were kidnapped from Iran and other countries such as Turkey and were transferred from the airport to the Mojahedin in Camp Ashraf in Iraq.

After the years of captivity in Iraq by the Mojahedin-e-Khalq they transferred to Camp Liberty in Iraq in the worst conditions with the painful life without communication with the outside world, without access to means of communication such as telephone. And we were never able to meet them despite repeated trips to Iraq.

Now they transferred to Camp Albania.

We thought Europe was the cradle of liberty. We hope that many of the prisoners’ human rights problems will be solved by going to Albania. But, unfortunately seeing images and information obtained from Camp Albania reveals that even in Europe which is the cradle of freedom and civilization, very difficult living conditions are considered for prisoners. The pictures show the apartments with completely covered windows and strict control over the captives outside of the apartments. Our loved ones do not have any communication with the outside world.

These conditions made it impossible for the prisoners to make any decisions for the separation of the Mojahedin Khalq Organization. We believe that it is our human right that the government of Albania will provide conditions to meet with them. We asked you to provide communication devices such as phones, telegrams, etc that we can have a remote connection with them. We urge human rights organizations to investigate the causes of these anti-human and hostile behaviors by prisoners in your country. We appeal you to strive to resolve this problem. Please help us.

Sincerely,

Thanks.

Albania

MKO ex-member open letter to the Prime-Minister of Albania

Honorable Prime-Minister of Albania Mr. Edi RAMA

You have announced that Albanian government is expecting to accept and accommodate 1900 members of people’s mojahedin organization of Iran who are against the clerical-regime of Iran and currently are living in the refugee camp of liberty which is situated near to Baghdad international airport till the end of 2016 in Tirana. we have become very glad and happy while we heard this news because in the past year despite of Rajavi’s aversion and reluctancy for sending the members to Albania hundreds of those stuck and stranded members could get out of the Ragavi’s mafia-organization in Iraq to Albania.

Some of those members as a result of too much pressure escaped from this organization based in Albania and some of them began revealing some of their painful experiences and psychological pressures while they were in that horrible and notorious organization and others began their new life outside of the organization. I urge you to accept the responsibility of their transfer procedures from Iraq to Albania directly by yourself and do not allow the leaders of this organization to build up another prison like the one they had in Iraq in your country Albania and do not allow the leaders of this notorious and dangerous cult to control and run the members’ daily affaires. we have this knowledge and experience about this notorious cult and we would like to share it with you that all those members of this cult who come to your country from Iraq are all prisoners of this cult because the leaders of this dangerous cult do not allow the members even those who have separated from this cult to have any communication with the outside world and their families.

Each one of those stranded members of this notorious cult have been away from their families and loved-ones from 15 to 40 years and they have not had any communication with their loved-ones whatsoever because the leadership of this religious and dangerous cult call the families and loved-ones as enemy !! and the leadership of this cult indoctrinate them that all families and loved-ones are members of the Iranian Intelligence service!! the leadership of this cult have chosen and designated some of its high ranking officers with covered faces to insult and attack verbally and physically the families and loved-ones of those stranded members who come to the Liberty Camp in iraq to visit their loved-ones . What do those families want? they want to see their loved-ones who have not seen them for decades, this is the first and primary rights of each family to reunite with their loved-one, is this democracy or dictatorship??!!, yes the leadership of this cult pretends that they are pro democracy and freedom and human rights but in fact they are abusing the first and primary rights which exist in all democratic and progressive countries.

Your Excellency,

As you know the Ragavi cult does not have popularity among Iranian people neither in Iran nor outside of Iran and all those people you see in their ceremonies and gatherings and etc are from different nationalities and countries such as Afghanestan , Iraq , Syria , and the people specially university students from Eastern-Europe. The leadership of this cult claim that all those participants in those gatherings are Iranian and take advantage of their participation and their names and pictures in those ceremonies specially in France for their propaganda and political interests .

I urge you as you have accepted them in your country and have rescued their lives from the hellish Iraq do your best for those members of this cult to have communication and face to face meetings with their families and loved-ones in your country because most of these members have been deprived of meeting and visiting their families and loved-ones for decades and the leadership of this organisation have prevented their families to meet or visit their loved-ones in this horrible and notorious cult because the leadership of this cult is afraid of any communication of its own members with outside world specially with families because they believe that any communication , meeting , visiting and etc will open their minds about the outside world and the reality of the real essence of this cult so they will separate from the cult and begin a new life . I thank you and i am very grateful to you and your endeavors for helping those members in your country.

Respectfully,

Zahra Moeini, Iran Zanan Association,19 June 2016
