Open letter to Mrs. Jane Holl Lute

Dear Mrs Holl Lute, Special Adviser to the UN Secretary General for the Relocation of Camp Hurriya (aka Liberty) Residents Outside of Iraq, please accept our warm greetings as former members of the PMOI.

Mrs Holl LuteWe hope that you complete your mission successfully and very quickly because of the hardship and misery which each one of us tolerated and endured in the PMOI and for the sake of our friends who are still trapped and stuck in this notorious organization.

We, separated members and critics, know very well that because of the egoism of the PMOI leadership and by invoking the fanatical principles of their ideology, the PMOI leadership will try its best to keep those miserable and trapped members in Iraq until they die, and that, as a matter of fact, the leadership welcomes their deaths because they know that the majority of PMOI members, especially the rank and file of this organization, will become their critics as soon as they reach the free world. For that reason we would like to help you in your mission as much as possible.

Mrs Holl Lute, breaking the cult-like and organizational barriers is the basis and fundamental prelude to the release, rescue and exit of those stranded and trapped members in Iraq. The PMOI leadership has robbed them of their ability to think for themselves and make decisions on their own behalf.

Your interlocutors for the rescue mission from Iraq should rightly be the individual members and not the organization and its self-appointed representatives, but because of the problems and obstacles which we would like to discuss with you, any discussion individually with those trapped members may be out of reach at present because all those members are made to obey their leaders’ orders regarding this matter.

We would like to share our experiences with you regarding this subject and how you might best approach this problem.

We wish you every success in your humanitarian mission and we eagerly follow your endeavours and activities in this regard.

Separated members and critics of the PMOI.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization members' families

53 signatories to Guterres – Families need the names of wounded residents

Honourable António Guterres UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Geneva

As your Excellency is aware, Camp Liberty in Baghdad, the temporary camp for nearly three thousand members of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI) was subjected Thursday night 26 53 signatories to Guterres – Families need the names of wounded residentsDecember 2013 to a terrorist attack by rockets and mortars. According to the PMOI this attack caused the death of 4 of the camp residents and the wounding of 71 others, many of whom are in a critical condition.

The PMOI published the names and photographs of those killed, but not the names of the wounded. We, the undersigned, as a group of Iranian critics of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI), as well as former members of the organization, express our support for the request of the families of the residents of Camp Liberty to speed up the transfer of the residents from Iraq to third countries.

So, we urge your honour, as UN High Commissioner for Refugees and international authority who is responsible for solving this issue, as well as the competent international bodies, especially the International Committee of the Red Cross and its office in Iraq, to oblige the leadership of the PMOI to announce the names of the wounded residents from this incident by any appropriate means, such as informing the families or by allowing the wounded to directly contact or meet their families.

We consider the request of the families to conform to the rights and requirements of international humanitarian laws and basic principles of human rights, including the right of families to know the fate of their relatives in such events because of their family relation, of course, and by virtue of emotions and natural humanity and they are worried about the health and status of their relatives residing in the refugee camp.

We also announce our support for the request of a group of families of the residents of Camp Liberty to speed up the transfer of the residents from Iraq, where there are daily killings of many innocent people in terrorist incidents or in bloody sectarian clashes, to the third countries, while nearly a third of them have documents of residency or asylum in European countries or North America.

We join these families to call on international bodies, especially the UN High Commissioner for Refugees to put their utmost efforts into urging the member states towards resettling the residents in third countries as soon as possible.

We would like to express our deep appreciation and gratitude in advance for your efforts in this regard, and for informing the families about the fate and status of their relatives in Camp Liberty.

UN High Commissioner for Refugees

Families demand UNHCR name injured MEK members

Families demand UNHCR name injured MEK members from Camp Liberty missile attack

Honorable António Guterres UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Geneva

As your Excellency are aware, Camp Liberty in Baghdad, the temporary camp for nearly three thousand members of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI) subjected Thursday night 26 December 2013 to a terrorist attack by rockets and mortars. According to PMOI this attack caused death of three of the camp residents and wounding 71 others, many of them in critical condition, while 4 were taken to the hospitals in Baghdad.

The PMOI has published the names and photographs of the killed, but not the names of the wounded. We are members of the families of the residents of Camp Liberty, are deeply concerned about the safety and security of our relatives who live in the Camp, so according to the most basic international laws of human rights and humanitarian principles, have the right to know about the fate of our relatives after such a bloody event.

So, we urge your honor, as UN High Commissioner for Refugees and international authority are responsible to solve this issue, as well as the competent international bodies, especially the International Committee of the Red Cross and its office in Iraq to obligate the leadership of the PMOI to announce the names of the wounded residents in this incident by any appropriate means, such as informing the families or to allow the wounded to contact or meet their families.

We the families of the residents of Camp Liberty are waiting impatiently to speed up the transfer of the residents from Iraq, where there are daily killings of many innocent people in terrorist incidents or in bloody sectarian clashes, to the third countries, while nearly third of them have documents of residency or asylum in European countries or North America.

We call international bodies, especially the UN High Commissioner for Refugees to put their utmost efforts to urge the member states towards resettling the residents to the third countries as soon as possible.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

Open letter to Mrs. Dana M Popa, Romania

Ali Akbar Rastgou

Dear Mrs Popa,

by your home page – www.freeiran-romania.org -, we took notice of the „Comitetul Parlamentarilor Romani Pentru Iranul Liber“. As an Iranian-exile-association from Germany, we also campaign for human rights and democracy in Iran.

However it is conspicuous, that the statements and reports on your home page nearly exclusively deal with the well known claims and demands of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organisation (MEK/MKO/PMOI).

The MEK has no political significance inside Iran and is not the right way forward to get involved with a free and democratic Iran.

Similar to the other European support-organizations, like the „Deutsch Solidaritätskommitee für einen freien Iran (DSFI)“, „The British Parliamentary Committee for Iran Freedom“ – http://iran-freedom.org/ – or „Friends of a Free Iran“ in the European Parliament, the „Comitetul Parlamentarilor Romani Pentru Iranul Liber“ seem to be just another lobby-organization and mouthpiece of the MEK.

Such a commitment only aids the MEK and not the people inside Iran.

A first step showing real humanitarian commitment could be, urging the Romanian government to take some refugees from Camp Liberty and save them from further attacks.

In contrast the MEK at any cost tries to keep their members together, to easier indoctrinate and control them. At the moment the Liberty-residents pay the price of permanent fear of further attacks and deaths.

The fact, that again and again European politicians feel up to disseminate those contradictory and escapist demands of the MEK without reflecting about seem to militate for the PR and lobbying of the MEK.

With such a blind commitment you run the risk of losing your political credibility as some European politicians hat to learn already.

For much background information about the lobbying of the MEK, please contact us.

With best regards,

AAWA Association e.V.

European Union

MEPs must intervene to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe in MKO

Honorable Members of European Parliament

Kanone Iran Ghalam (KIG) a humanitarian organization established in Germany for more than a decade by defected members of the Iranian Mojahedin-E-Khalgh Organization (MEK), some of them with more than a quarter of century of history inside the MEK.

KIG has been disclosing the atrocities of the MEK against their own members inside the Cult like organization and elsewhere.

In this respect, KIG would like to bring the followings to your kind attention:

-Whilst the transfer of the imprisoned members of MEK in Camp Liberty in Iraq to a third country has been stopped by the Masoud and Maryam Radjavi the leaders of the MEK.

-While the MEK members in Camp Liberty see no future for themselves in the MEK organization.

-Whilst, according to the United Nations officials, the leaders of the MEK have created a dead lock for the release of their members in Camp Liberty by creating many problems in the process of their release.

-while, the captive members in Camp Liberty have been ordered to go on hunger strike, depriving them from their basic rights of eating and drinking are suffering physically and psychologically.

-Whilst the ordered hunger strike is in its 90th days with absolutely no prospect what so ever.

-Whilst the main goal of the MEK Leaders is to eliminate the dissident members inside the organization by this action, are also after utilizing the hunger strike and the deaths resulting from it for more media coverage purposes.

KIG would like to ask your honorable members of EU Parliament to take action to put an end to this humanitarian tragedy in Camp Liberty Iraq.

Now days will be marking the last days of some innocent people in Camp Liberty, your action will be of a great value in saving innocent lives.

Undoubtedly, MEK Leaders stationed in Paris have the full responsibility of this gradual death which is clearly a crime against humanity.

Kanon-e Iran Galam

Mujahedin Khalq as an Opposition Group

MEK leader set to use violence to disrupt Geneva talks

Open Letter to Catherine Ashton

Dear Lady Ashton,

Iran Interlink closely monitors the ideological and behavioural activities of the Mojahedin Khalq organisation and recent information concerning this group forces us to be blunt in our warnings to you.Open Letter to Catherine Ashton

More than anyone else you are aware that alongside the optimism for a negotiated settlement of the long running nuclear issue between the United States and its allies and Iran, various parties – Israel, Saudi Arabia, members of the US Congress – are trying hard to prevent any moves toward rapprochement. In particular, since Israel’s political efforts have failed to do this, we believe we will now see the ugly face of Israel through its deployment of the terrorist Mojahedin Khalq cult.

In the past few days information from inside the MEK base in Paris has revealed that intense talks have taken place between the MEK and an Israeli handler about this issue. Although this is an Israeli initiative the MEK are negotiating with every option on their table; killing their own members in Iraq and western cities through self-immolations or deaths attributed to hunger strikes, and/or targeted killings and assassinations in Iraq and/or western cities for which others are blamed (the government of Iraq or Iranian opposition groups, or the Iranian government). The MEK’s role, based on its track record and current capabilities, will be to destroy trust by creating ‘evidence’ of violent and devious activity by Iran, backed up by a well-financed propaganda blitz to ‘prove’ its case.

Lest there be any doubt about the reality and seriousness of this potential threat let us recap events over the past few weeks to demonstrate how easily this scenario can get out of hand.

Following the September 1st killings at Camp Ashraf in Iraq the MEK made these two false claims which, through uncritical and paid media and lobbyist repetition, have unfortunately taken on the semblance of accepted facts.

1. Iraqi security forces stormed Camp Ashraf and killed 52 people.

2. Iranian Revolutionary Guards kidnapped seven MEK members from the camp and turned them over to the Iraqi Prime Minister’s office which has hidden and tortured them and still holds them.

Neither of these allegations have been found to be true and the Government of Iraq has repeatedly dismissed them as MEK propaganda. Instead, questions remain whether the killings were an internal MEK action. No independent agency dealing with the MEK on the ground – whether UNAMI or representatives of the American embassy in Baghdad – has offered any reason or evidence on which to base further investigation into the MEK allegations other than to establish what really happened.

However, you will remember that the MEK acting through one of their intermediaries in the European Parliament, Alejo Vidal Quadras of the Iraq Delegation, set you up to fall victim to affirming this false information through your letter to him, clearly issued in good faith, on 19 September. The intervention by Vidal Quadras was timed to coincide with your meeting with Iraqi FM Hoshyar Zebari and would no doubt have gone some way to increase mistrust.

On 10 October the European Parliament used your ‘corroboration’ as the basis for a resolution which repeats this misinformation: The European Parliament adopted a resolution which strongly condemned “the attack on Camp Ashraf on 1st September 2013 by Iraqi forces which left 52 Iranian refugees dead and the abduction of 7 residents including 6 women who, as stated by High Representative Baroness Ashton, are believed to be held in Baghdad, and calls for their immediate and unconditional release.”

Struan Stevenson, Chair of the Iraq Delegation and a long term MEK advocate, has shown himself happy to welcome and exploit any resulting breakdown in EU-Iraq relations. What interpretation are we to give this except corruption of the European Parliamentary system.

But so much for the use of propaganda. The real threat posed by the mercenary MEK terrorist cult is as a tool in the hands of the Israelis. Its role is to disrupt any diplomatic process involving Iran at any cost using any means at its disposal. In this respect the MEK’s capabilities are somewhat limited. They are capable of violence in the streets of Geneva through targeted assassination or self-immolation or a death attributed to hunger strike. But in Iraq, as the events of September 1st demonstrate, the MEK enjoys a free hand when it comes to controlling, and disposing of, the lives of its own members. Sadly, the MEK’s Iranian supporters in western countries are so befuddled by the group’s indoctrination process that they do not realise that the lobbying advocates are paid and do not have any stake in the group or its future. They sincerely believe that the MEK is a real opposition supported by important political and military figures in the American establishment.

Paid lobbyists without scruple demand UN blue hat protection for the members at Camp Liberty to prevent further attacks. However, this is far from the MEK’s intention. MEK tactics now demand more bloodshed to prove its victimhood. Whether this is achieved in Europe or in Iraq, MEK activity will directly impact your negotiation process. The residents of Camp Liberty are in danger because the MEK leaders want to shed their blood.

The security of meetings held in Geneva is not in your hands, nor is it in the hands of Iran, but violent activity will have dire consequences for all sides. It is important to put the MEK where it belongs – it has no place in the political process. The group is purely a brand and a tool. Once a group is named as a tool in the hands of paying masters then it loses its potency. The MEK has no independent existence. You must look to the people who issue the orders to find out how to counter its influence.

Close observation of MEK activity and recent key information points incontrovertibly to the use of violence to disrupt the Geneva meetings and destroy every effort to create trust between the negotiators. Our advice: talk to the MEK’s masters and warn them off this initiative.

Albania

Open letter to Samir Tahiri, Interior Minister of Albania

The Honourable Mr Samir Tahiri, Interior Minister of Albania

Dear Mr Tahiri,

Your honourable and distinguished government, within the framework of human rights actions and activities, has accepted and given refuge to 210 members of the PMOI (People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran), who are captives in Iraq. But, the Mojahedin Organization has taken advantage of this opportunity and has placed some of its commanders among the ordinary PMOI members who have been sent to Albania, in order to supervise and control them.

Some of these, who are the PMOI’s high ranking officers and commanders, are in Albania right now such as Farzaneh Meydanshahi (member of the PMOI Leadership Council), Esmail Mortezaie, Houshang Doodkani, Afshin Ebrahimi and Karim Ghorayshi.

These PMOI commanders and operatives who have come to Albania, have failed to control and supervise the ordinary members and, as a result, 70 individuals have separated from the PMOI in Albania and have declared that they do not want to co-operate with the PMOI any more. In spite of their public declaration, they have been under severe pressure from the PMOI operatives and commanders in Albania.

According to authenticated news from inside the PMOI, the PMOI leadership have decided to send Mrs Masoumeh Malekmohammadi, who is one of the PMOI high ranking officers and commanders, to Albania to reinforce the Mojahedin organization there. She is one of the PMOI’s most important and notorious figures.

The PMOI’s most important objective in sending her to Albania is to rescue her from judicial indictment and prosecution in Iraq. Mrs Masoumeh Malekmohammadi is one of the PMOI’s high ranking officers whose name has been listed by Iraq’s judicial ministry for crimes committed in Iraq.

She was head of the PMOI’s External Affairs department in Iraq which implemented the meetings and transactions with Saddam Hussein’s government. She has had other responsibilities in Iraq which are as follows:

Implementation of projects to intervene in Iraqi affairs during the last 10 years; endeavours to create schisms and chaos in Iraq’s internal affairs; creating artificial associations and parties in the name of Iraqis and supporting specific terrorist groups in Iraq; supporting the terrorist group of Taregh Al-Hashemi, the former deputy president of Iraq, who is now a fugitive.

Among the terrorist activities committed by Masoumeh Malikmohammadi was her participation as a high ranking commander in the massacre of the Kurdish population in the area of Khaneghin in the Pearl military operation (aka Morvarid operation) in 1991 in Iraq.

In 1995, she was one of the high ranking PMOI operatives and commanders responsible for suppressing and torturing the dissident members in the prisons of Camp Ashraf. She tortured and interrogated many of those dissident members in those prisons in Camp Ashraf and stood as one of the judges in those extra-judicial courts which were created by the PMOI leader Massoud Rajavi to prosecute and sentence these dissidents. Her name is also mentioned as one of the officials and operatives linked to suspicious and questionable deaths inside the PMOI. During her residence in Pakistan between 1995-1996 Mrs Malekmohammadi was under judicial indictment and prosecution by the government of Pakistan because of her unlawful activities there and as a result of that she escaped from Pakistan to Iraq using a fake Iraqi name and passport.

Honorable Mr Tahiri,

We urge you as the Interior Minister who is responsible for the security of Albania, according to the above mentioned facts, to prevent the entrance of Mrs Masoumeh Malekmohammadi to Albania. She should be handed over to the Iraqi courts of justice for her criminal activities in Iraq.

We urge you and your government to allocate and designate a place for the separated members of the PMOI away from those who are loyal Mojahedin members in Albania in order for them to be safe and sound from the psychological tortures and pressures of the PMOI.

We are very thankful and grateful to you and your government for your humanitarian measures and hospitality.

The Iranian people will not forget your great and humanitarian act of harbouring their children in Albania.

An Open Letter to President Obama and Secretary Kerry

An Open Letter to President Obama and Secretary Kerry: The Contradictory Foreign Policy Of The United States

President Barack Obama

The White House

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW

Washington, DC 20500

The Honorable John Kerry

United States Secretary of State

2201 C Street NW

Washington, DC 20520

Subject:  An Open Letter; The Contradictory Foreign Policy of  the United States after President Truman

Dear President Obama and Secretary Kerry:

I write to you as a staunch supporter of the President during his entire tenure. Although I was a Republican until earlier this year, I campaigned for the President in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington DC and contributed to the campaign the maximum allowed financial support by borrowing the money. I am still paying my loan acquired in 2007. Likewise, I actively supported re-election of the President for a second term.

This letter is intended to communicate several serious concerns shared by me, many of my family members, and several friends who are Iranian-Americans and Americans, and vote as Democrats, Independent, and Republicans. Most of my family and friends persistently have supported the President at the levels similar to me.

Recently, an Iranian Terrorist organization (Mojahedin-e-Khagh or MEK), extremely despised by Iranians, held a Conference in Paris on June 22nd in Villepinte, a suburb of Paris. The conference notable for its list of attendees included several so-claimed “defenders of democracy and freedom” such as now the infamous Mayor of San Diego, former Mayor of New York Rudi Giuliani, and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, and former US Permanent Representative to the United Nations John Bolton. Most speakers apparently received substantial fees for travel and/or speaking at the Conference.

A friend of mine sent to me a 30-minute video tape (available on youtube), showing the speakers and short segments of the lectures. The subjects of these lectures were not related to the sanctions against Iran! They were linked to so-called President-Elect, Maryam Rajavi (born in Tehran on December 4, 1953) who heads the MEK group (also known by various other acronyms such as the NCRI) which was recently delisted  from the Foreign Terrorist Organization.

What mystifies me the most is the presence of an esteemed Kennedy family member Patrick Kennedy at the Conference? One would expect an “experienced politician“ to seek assistance from the State Department and FBI about a visit to Paris and the wisdom of presenting a lecture to a group dubbed as a “Cult” by the well-respected Human Rights Watch and until recently, branded as terrorists by our  government.

Certainly, the CIA knows the history of murders committed by MEK against the citizens of Iran and America. For example, MEK worked with Saddam’s military to aid him in pinpointing civilian (yes – civilian) targets allowing for Iraqis to dose Iran with chemical weapons (in  artillery and missiles)!

Inarguably, political activity is part and parcel of a healthy democracy such as what we have in the United States; however, surely it is the duty of every American to avoid actions that would lead America to war again and again. I must ask these American “amplifiers of brutality” if they truly consider themselves patriots. Frankly, I consider them turncoats. Is the Conflict of Interest concept passe or unsuitable for former government officials? Please make the judgment! I hope both the State and the Justice  Departments are looking into this situation.

I am sure you realize the challenges you face in negotiating with Iranian leadership to settle deep-rooted outstanding disputes in a peaceful manner. These discussions are vital in bringing a lasting peace and durable tranquility to several counties in Middle East. Granted the Americans may exercise their freedoms of speech and travel. Yet, the American “loudspeakers” at the MEK organized and funded gathering have certainly disregarded vital interests of the United States by their war-mongering lectures and by accepting free trips and hefty speaker’s imbursements from this terrorist group. Surely, acting against America’s national interest warrants  investigation and retribution.

This country cannot embark on serious diplomacy and dialogue with the rulers in Iran when such “prominent members” support a human rights violator and a terrorist organization that until September 2012 was considered a terrorist group (MEK was delisted in September 2012) by the United States. Importantly, such reckless actions by the US government, coupled with new sanctions passed in the House, effectively help the Supreme Leader to convince Iranians that America does not intend to bring the long-lasting disputes to a reasonable conclusion in a peaceful manner. Aside from the Iranian regime, the highly intelligent people of Iran will undoubtedly infer that the delisting of MEK was accomplished to allow America to use MEK as a puppet, to attack Iran, similar to Saddam. Certainly, this type of  diplomacy reduces or eliminates any chance of peace.

Let us be reasonable. How can America fight and eliminate terrorism in this country or abroad by maintaining two sets of standards? Think about it. Is this not outright duplicity? Traitors and terrorists are always turncoats and assassins irrespective of their boss! Wherevers the outlaws go they bring miseries.

The lessons of times past are prized but evidently unlearned. One thing is patent. We cannot free Middle East, particularly my Jewish and Palestinian sisters and brothers, from war and destitution unless we craft a fresh foreign policy based on mutual respects, honest  admirations for human rights, and a genuine interest in seeking peace.

I this respect, I recall the aspiration and prized words of a Founding Father, John Adams, to exemplify the principles of a sound policy both internally and abroad. He stated America must accept “the independence of other nations while asserting and maintaining her own. She has abstained from interference in the concerns of others, even when conflict has been for principles to which she clings . . . Whenever the standard of freedom and independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers are. But she goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy. She is well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own . . . “Clearly, this “divine concept” has not been followed by the majority of American  politicians, particularly after President Truman.

We wish you success in coming to solid agreement with the regime in Iran. Doing so will ultimately lead to a free Iran. The brave people of my birth land have civilization of 17,000 years. Importantly, they have repeatedly civilized barbarians. As I wrote to the President on October 16, 2011, only Iranians know how to ultimately deal with their tormentors.

Blessings.

Open letter to the President of French National Assembly

In the name of Human Rights, Democracy and Freedom

Mr Claude Bartolone, President of the French National Assembly

As you know, Mojahedin Khalq Organisation (aka; MKO, MEK, NCRI,…) have booked a salon in Parc des Exposition de Villeprinte to celebrate the start of their terror activities in June 1981 killing many civilian people.

17 June is also the anniversary of the arrest of Mrs. Rajavi alongside 164 other Mojahedin Commander in 2003 by the order of the government of Mr. Chirac. They were arrested in Val d’Oise charged with plotting terrorism from their HQ. The Mojahedin now celebrate this occasion every year alongside the anniversary of the start of “armed struggle”.

They contact members of the French Senate and try to gather their support. They rely on and hope that the targeted politicians would not know about their past, present and future intentions.

I am writing to ask for a meeting in the Parliament to come with a delegation comprising some of the senior ex members of this organisation to present to you and explain some of the documents available to us.

Mr President

When Mrs Maryam Rajavi speaks about human rights, you should know that there are 3200 MEK members who have been held captive in Iraq in Camp Liberty on her direct order. Of this total more than half are willing to return to their normal life, if allowed their freedom. Currently, members who show any hint of dissent and those who want to separate from the MEK will be severely and brutally beaten on the direct order of Massoud and Maryam Rajavi. Since these people have been relocated to Camp Liberty, more than 50 of them have succeeded in escaping and have rescued themselves from that camp. The obstacles and obstructions which the MEK has created, has resulted in failure of their refugee process in Iraq. The representative of your honorable country in the United Nations and the Security Council’s sessions have witnessed that Mr Martin Kobler, the UN’s special envoy, has complained many times at the lack of MEK cooperation in solving this humanitarian matter. On the other hand, for more than two years the families of MEK members have been asking for a one or two hour meeting with their loved ones. They have established a sit-in in front of the camp, but unfortunately they have been denied meeting with their loved ones on the direct order of Massoud and Maryam Rajavi.

Mr President,

In the French National Assembly, which is the symbol of French democracy and human rights, Mrs Maryam Rajavi speaks about human rights while dissidents inside the MEK are being killed on the direct order of Massoud and Maryam Rajavi. In this regard, I can mention the names of women such as Mehry Moussavi, Minoo Fathali, Marjan Akbarian, Zahra Faizbakhsh, Homa Bashardoost, Allan Mohammadi, and others and men such as Saeed Kiani, Kiomarz Barforosh, Alinaghi Hadad, and others. In this regard my friends and I who have witnessed these crimes, are ready to testify in any court of law. The MEK, which has not gained power in Iran, massacres its own members. Any Iranian opposition group or organization which wants to criticize the MEK will be faced with bullying aggression and intimidation tactics by the MEK and suffer character assassination; and they will receive death threats from the MEK. None of the Iranian opposition groups which reside in Europe and the USA cooperate with them because of their cultic and violent behavior. The National Council of Resistance, the MEK’s public political face, which comprises MEK commanders and operatives, does not have any popularity among Iranian people. Now, Mrs Maryam Rajavi with this kind of background and record, requests the same kind of recognition and accreditation as the Syrian opposition from the French government!

We former MEK members, with 20-30 years of living in the MEK, who were able to rescue ourselves from the MEK after the downfall of Saddam Hussein and who are currently living in France, would like to alert you to the facts of this situation.

Respectfully

Mohammad Karami, Faryade Azadi, Paris

Nejat Society Letter to French MEP

The honorable Mr. Pascal Deguilhem
French National Assembly
126  L’Universite St.
75355 Paris 07 SP

Dear Mr. Deguilhem,
We are pleased to introduce our NGO, "Nejat Society" based in Iran. Nejat Society was founded by a number of former members of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) and Families of those who are still held as hostages by the group leaders. The main objective of our NGO is to help the families of those who are held in the camps of the MKO and have had no contact with their loved ones for many years.
As we heard that you are supposed to speak at the rally the group is going to hold in  Villepint, on june 22, 2013 we are concerned about a few issues.
A large number of The MKO members who are currently kept in Camp Liberty, Iraq do not enjoy proper mental and physical conditions. The Camp facilities are not enough and members are under constant psychological pressure; they have to attend daily self-criticism and brainwashing sessions under the manipulative system of the group. They have no access to the outside world. They are exposed to the world outside the group camps –weather in Baghdad or Ouver Sur d’Oise– only by what the cult-like system of the group offers them.
Regarding such conditions, just a few individuals could manage to escape the MKO camps during the past decade. You may want to study the ”No Exit" report published by the Human Rights Watch in 2005, based on testimonies of the former members of the Cult of Rajavi.As our duty is to provide families of the MKO members with possibilities to contact their loved ones in the MKO or at least to get news about them, we firmly ask the international community to pave the way for free access to Liberty residents in accordance with the international laws.
The group authorities annually spend large amounts of money to hire speakers and attendees for the gathering of June. You may want to take a look at the audience in the MKO gatherings to get to know about the number of Iranians and non-Iranians present there! You may want to ask the speakers at the gathering about their speaking fees!
This letter is not to challenge your sincerity in your beliefs but as a Socialist Republican deputy, do you really feel happy to attend the so-called gathering which is in no way the icon of the Iranians’ pro-democratic aspirations? Don’t you think that you are just used by the Rajavis as a means to run their ambitions?
Dear Sir
Compared with your socialist ideals, advocacy for a cult-like group with a dark history of human rights abuses, makes us confused and also concerned about the situation of our children behind the bars of the MKO. However, if you are still willing to attend the June 22 rally we appeal to you to at least use your political social and cultural influence to ask the group leaders Massoud and Maryam Rajavi to fully cooperate with the UN mission in Iraq for the relocation of Liberty residents to third countries and also to provide us with an opening to get in touch with the residents in a free atmosphere without the supervision of the group officials.
Sincerely,
Nejat Society
