A senior Iranian lawmaker cautioned against the attempts made the terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO, also known as MEK, PMOI and NCRI) to prevent Iran and the six world powers from striking a final nuclear deal.
“The MKO is trying to cause tension in Iran’s nuclear talks by different means,” member of the parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Javad Jahangirzadeh told FNA on Monday.
The lawmaker said the MKO agents in their latest move have paid cash to Cal Thomas, the columnist of the Washington Times newspaper to write an article to allege that Iran cannot be trusted for striking a final agreement with the world powers.
Thomas wrote in his recent article in Washington Times that Iran has always maintained that it is seeking nuclear power for peaceful purposes; “if that were true, there would be no need for negotiations, how do you negotiate with someone who has lied from the start and is told in the Quran that lying to infidels is permissible in pursuit of the Islamic goals?”
The MKO, founded in the 1960s, blended elements of Islamism and Stalinism and participated in the overthrow of the US-backed Shah of Iran in 1979. Ahead of the revolution, the MKO conducted attacks and assassinations against both Iranian and western targets.
The group started assassination of the citizens and officials after the revolution in a bid to take control of the newly-established Islamic Republic. It killed several of Iran’s new leaders in the early years after the revolution, including the then President, Mohammad Ali Rajayee, Prime Minister, Mohammad Javad Bahonar and the Judiciary Chief, Mohammad Hossein Beheshti who were killed in bomb attacks by the MKO members in 1981.
The group fled to Iraq in 1986, where it was protected by Saddam Hussein and where it helped the Iraqi dictator suppress Shiite and Kurd uprisings in the country.
The terrorist group joined Saddam’s army during the Iraqi imposed war on Iran (1980-1988) and helped Saddam and killed thousands of Iranian civilians and soldiers during the US-backed Iraqi imposed war on Iran.
Since the 2003 US invasion of Iraq, the group, which now adheres to a pro-free-market philosophy, has been strongly backed by neo-conservatives in the United States, who argued for the MKO to be taken off the US terror list.
The US formally removed the MKO from its list of terror organizations in early September, one week after Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sent the US Congress a classified communication about the move. The decision made by Clinton enabled the group to have its assets under the US jurisdiction unfrozen and do business with the American entities, the State Department said in a statement at the time.
In September 2012, the last groups of the MKO terrorists left Camp Ashraf, their main training center in Iraq’s Diyala province. They have been transferred to Camp Liberty. Hundreds of the MKO terrorists have now been sent to Europe.
Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei called on the Iranian organizations, the Judiciary in particular, to devise plans for crime prevention.
Crime prevention is one of the major and sensitive responsibilities of the Judiciary, Ayatollah Khamenei said in a meeting with the Judiciary chief and authorities, held in Tehran on Sunday evening.
The Leader also called for an “organized effort” by all responsible organizations to prevent crime in the country, noting that without such plans, “crimes cofntinue to increase and escalate and the macromanagement of them will not be possible.”
Ayatollah Khamenei further highlighted the significance of an “independent” Judiciary system that would not come under the influence of others.
One of the main factors of the Judiciary’s independence is “might”, the Leader explained. The “rule of law” and “absolute health” were the other elements behind the Judiciary’s independence the Leader highlighted.
“Any corruption in the Judiciary system will pave the way for bigger corruptions in the society,” Imam Khamenei warned.
The meeting was held on the occasion of the Judiciary Day (the 7th day of the Iranian month of Tir), commemorating Ayatollah Mohammad Beheshti and scores of other senior Iranian officials martyred in a terrorist attack back in 1981.
On June 28, 1981, members of the terrorist Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) blew up the headquarters of the Islamic Republic Party in Tehran, killing 72 ranking officials, including Ayatollah Beheshti, the first head of the Supreme Judicial Council of Iran after victory of the Islamic Revolution.
Mr. Karim Gholami joined the Mujahedin-e Khalq group in 1987 when he was just 16 years old. Within the organization he was not satisfied with the ideology and doctrines of the group.
During the Chelcheraq Operation he injured severely and forced to use wheelchair for about 24 years.
Within the MKO Cult he lost the track of his family since any relationship and any form of contact with the family members is forbidden in the Cult.
Finally in 2009 Karim managed to leave the Cult. He declared his defection from the group on January 2011.
In January 2015, the family of former MKO member Karim Gholami found him again after 25 years. The family recognized Karim from his writing on the internet along with his picture. He had published this to find his family. It worked and they are all now reunited, Iraninterlink reported.
A former member of terrorist group Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) said on Monday financial sponsors of both terrorist groups, the MKO and Daesh are the same.
Ebrahim Khodabandeh said that if the Iranian people had not resisted to the MKO, which receives its financial support from the same source as Daesh, and the Iranian intelligence officers and security forces were not 
mighty enough, Iran’s western provinces were the scene of similar events what happened in Syria and Iraq.
Speaking in a panel discussion titled ‘From the MKO to Daesh’ at Iran Press and Cultural Institute, the former MKO member said that such clans as the two brainwash their supporters and destroy their sound reasoning capability.
He said that the other similarity between the MKO and Daesh is that they both take advantage of religious beliefs of the people aimed at securing their horrendous hegemony.
Meanwhile, Khodamabdeh ridiculed the terrorist MKO group’s anti-imperialist slogans and that they were the one and only one such group in Iran, accusing the Islamic Republic that it will eventually roll to the Imperialists camp.
‘The heads of the terrorist MKO groupe in Paris hold meetings with the most brutal branches of imperialists, ignoring all their initial anti-imperialist slogans,’ he said.
He said that the similarity of MKO and Daesh in this regard is that the latter publicized Shiaphobia to attract the fanatic Sunni people and then they control their minds and isolate them.
A growing number of MKO members are leaving the Cult despite the group efforts to hold them in.
Neday-e Haqiqat Website reported the defection of 4 Camp Liberty residents during the last three months.
According to the report the individuals managed to escape the cult and resided at Mohajer Hotel, Iraq.
The MKO ringleaders have prevented members of the group from meeting their relatives in a bid to prevent their defection.
Several family members of Camp Liberty residents have established a permanent picket in front of the Camp entrance since June. The families told Iraq’s Minister of Human Rights they would be satisfied even to see their loved ones at a distance of 10 metres and then they will leave. The Minister did intervene on their behalf and the MKO have again rejected it, Sahar Family Foundation reported.
Despite the group leader’s efforts to keep members behind the bars of the Cult, about 17 Camp Liberty residents could liberate themselves during last year.
Besides, in Albania about 120 members parted away with the group. The increased number of defections in Albania has caused the MKO leaders to hold the last group of transferees “in quarantine “, according to ex-members website reports.
Mostafa Mohammadi has been trying to meet with his long lost daughter Somayeh for many years now. He has travelled to Iraq on several occasions only to be turned away by the cruel cult which holds his daughter hostage. Now Mostafa has taken his cause right to the door of the cult’s headquarters in France.
On Friday 12 June 2015, Mostafa visited Maryam Rajavi’s residence in Auvers sur Oise, the terrorist cult’s secretive enclave just outside Paris. He was accompanied by his other daughter Hooriyeh. Mostafa had been advised by his lawyer, who accompanied them on the visit, to make one last legally documented request directly to the leader of the group which is holding Somayeh. Only then, the lawyer advised, should Mostafa could go ahead with a legal complaint against Maryam Rajavi in France where she resides.
The Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK) reaction was shocking. Instead of answering the door and listening to the legal request, and answering either negatively or in the affirmative, the cult leader Maryam Rajavi simply sent out a gang of thugs to beat him up along with Hooriyeh and the lawyer.
Although police intervened to prevent more serious injury an ambulance was called and Mostafa was hospitalised overnight.
Why is it impossible for the MEK leader to refrain from attacking people in a quiet French village where the residents are already sick to death of the group?
Mostafa made it clear that if he had wanted to provoke the group he would not have gone with his French lawyer and daughter, but with a gang of other plaintiffs against the cult – there are many.
But like any cult, the MEK is existentially afraid of the truth and of people exposing its inhuman and illegal activities. Maryam Rajavi would rather her cult be exposed beating up an innocent father in a French suburb than answer to the charges put against her in court of law.
Even worse, if she even hints at compromise with one parent, the whole cult will begin to collapse as members ask ‘why can’t we contact our families too?’
Other awkward questions lie behind this simple one. Such as, ‘why, after thirty years, have we made no progress in our struggle to overthrow the Iranian regime?’ And, ‘where is Massoud Rajavi?’ And, ‘why aren’t the residents of Camp Liberty being transferred to safe countries?’
Mostafa’s struggle to meet his daughter is not isolated. Several families are currently stationed outside Camp Liberty in Iraq making the same demand: we want to meet our loved ones. Perhaps Maryam Rajavi is right to be afraid of them. The MEK’s existence now balances on this confrontation, this battle of wills between loving relatives and the cruel cult leader.

Mr. Siavosh Rastar declared his defection from the Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization in the statement he published.
Siavosh Rastar whose organizational name is Nader Afshar lived in the MKO for 14 years, from 2001 to 2015. 
He has been to Camp Ashraf and Camp Liberty, Iraq before his relocation in Tirana, Albania.
Mr. Rastar left the MKO to protest Massoud Rajavi’s undemocratic approach towards the group members and their families.
“In my idea, the only thing that never exists in Massoud Rajavi’s organization is freedom of speech and thought. In brief, absolute suppression and dictatorship rule it, “Rastar writes. If anyone criticizes Massoud Rajavi, he would be treated violently in various sessions held for this aim.”
Mr. Rastar has witnessed his comrades being tortured or killed by the group. He himself was one of the victims of the MKO’s mal-treatment against the rank and files.
“They didn’t allow me to take proper medical treatment,” he states. “Intentionally they gave me wrong medications. They didn’t let me go to Iraqi hospitals. They didn’t even give me the drugs Iraqi doctors had proscribed for me.”
When the Iraqi doctors finally examine him, they diagnose a serious illness telling that he will not survive over six months. “When the MKO leaders made sure that I would not live so long, they transferred me to Albania,” he reveals.
In Albania, Siavosh finds the chance to leave the group and submit himself to the officials of the UN High Commissioner of Refugees. They aided him to receive proper treatment in hospital.
However, the MKO agents did not give up annoying him. “They put pressure on my family. They called my wife and claimed that I got married and have children in Albania, they also told her that I am drug-addicted,’’ he writes.
In the statement to declare his defection, Siavosh Rastar offers sympathy to his friends who are still held as hostages in the MKO’s cult-like system. He hopes for their release and a free life in the free world.

Mr. Nader Keshtkar declared his defection from the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO) in Paris.
Mr. Keshtkar spoke about his disassociation with the MKO. He was interviewed during defectors’ rally in Paris 
to protest the MKO’s propaganda show in Villepint, on June 13th.
“I attended this action, together with my friends in order to officially state my separation from the MKO. Now that I am in the free world, liberated from prejudice ideas, dogmatism and Machiavelli thoughts of the MKO, I feel relieved,” he said.
To explain the reasons of his disassociation with the MKO he said,” Armed struggle was a mistake that gradually brought about severe consequences. The strategy of armed struggle was a mistake. The later the leaders revise this mistake the more the MKO goes in decline. The main reason of the impenetrable cul-de-sac of the MKO is the armed struggle. Ambitions, treasonous activities and lack of courage of Massoud Rajavi prevented him from reviewing his strategic mistake that led him and the MKO to turn in to the operative agent of Israel and Saudi Arabia.”

Tehran has rejected the anti-Iran accusations in the annual global terrorism report by the US Department of State, censuring Washington for adopting a double-standard approach in dealing with the issue of terrorism.
Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham on Saturday described the content of the US report as repetitive and said a politically-motivated stance on terrorism further complicates the issue.
“The growing and complicated scourge of terrorism is rooted in applying double standards and a political approach toward this evil and inhumane phenomenon,” Afkham said.
In its annual global terrorism report released on Friday, the State Department accused Iran of supporting terrorist groups and conducting terror-related activities.
The Iranian official also described Iran as the “biggest victim of terrorism” over the past three decades, adding that leveling accusations against a country which spearheads international cooperation in the fight against terrorism, extremism and violence is part of a “blame game” played against the Islamic Republic.
The Iranian official took a swipe at the real supporters of terrorist groups as well as the so-called advocates of human rights for the surge in terror threats in the world.
Afkham questioned the US claim of fighting terrorism, saying the presence and unhindered operations of terrorists in the US, Washington’s failure to take a serious and firm action against terrorist and extremist groups as well as its indifference to Israel’s crimes against the Palestinian people discredit such so-called terrorism reports.
Disassociated members of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO) hold protest action in Paris.
While, National Council of Resistance led by Maryam Rajavi was launching its annual propaganda show in Villepinte Paris, dozens of former members of her cult of personality organized a protestation against the MKO at place du Chatlet, Paris.
Defected members of the group were invited to take action by “Women Association” that organized the rally. Demonstrators protested the presence and activity of the MKO terrorist cult in French territory.
The panel provided French citizens with books, flyers and pictures on the violent, cult-like substance of the MKO.
They also revealed the group’s deceitful propaganda campaign of recruiting attendants for their annual gathering.
They declared their support for about 2000 people who are kept as hostages by the group in Camp Liberty, Iraq. They offered sympathy to families of Liberty residents who are picketing in front of the camp but have no access to their loved ones imprisoned in the camp.
As former members of the cult of Rajavi stated in their slogans, the Villepinte masquerade of the NCR/MKO elements has just one goal: maintaining the group victims in Iraqi critical situation in order to prevent the cult from collapse.
