Mahin Habibi attended the sit-in of families of Nejat Society in front of the office of the International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC) in Tehran.
She is the mother of Parvaneh Rabiee, a member of the Mujahedin-e Khalq. She has not met and even contacted her daughter for over forty years. The years of separation from her beloved daughter has left her with grieves and pains.
As a young girl, Parvaneh had immigrated to Germany where she was taken as a hostage by the MEK recruiters. Leaders of the MEK do not allow Parvaneh to contact her mother because they consider family as the enemy of their cult-like organization.
Listen to the heartbroken mother of Parvaneh.
Reports
World Red Cross Day is observed every year on May 8. A number of parents of members of the Mojahedin-e Khalq terrorist group have taken the opportunity to attract attentions to the fact that they have not been able to visit their loved ones for a very long time. They held a sit-in in front of the ICRC office in Tehran demanding the International Committee of the Red Cross to step in.

Nejat Society was established as a non-governmental organization two decades ago. As members of Nejat NGO, families of hostages of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) took numerous actions in order to release their loved ones from the cult-like terrorist group of Massoud Rajavi.
Traveling to Iraq for picketing in front of the gates of Camp Ashraf was one of the actions taken by the families. The following video shows mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters who are crying the names of their loved ones over the walls of Camp Ashraf, Iraq, during the winter of 2010.

Some of the hostages whose names are called left the group through the next years, mostly after the group was relocated in Albania. They might have heard the heart-breaking cries of their loved ones through loudspeakers over the gates of Ashraf. The mental bars around their minds might have been broken on those very days.
Since its relocation in Albania, the MEK has been downsized due to the increasing defections but there are still a few thousand people who are mentally and physically barred by the Cult of Rajavi. Now, the group’s new headquarters, Ashraf 3, is far away from the Iranian border. For families, traveling to Albania is a big challenge because the Albanian government does not grant visa to the Iranians. The reason is not rational but understandable.
As wealthy bribe payers, the MEK agents in the Albanian government make efforts to prevent families to come to Albania which is a semi democratic country in the soil of democratic Europe.
As a matter of fact, families of the MEK’s hostages never give up. They take actions, they write letters to human rights bodies; they send public messages to their loved ones in Ashraf 3 because they hope that the mental bars will smash someday and their beloved children will be determined to leave the Maryam Rajavi’s cult.
Reports from Albania indicate that the opposition (a coalition of parties of former Albanian leaders Sali Berisha and Ilir Meta) has planned a massive demonstration for Saturday, February 11, 2023, which is expected to be similar to the one that was well received a few months ago,
The relevant report adds that “there is a possibility – which is not a small possibility – that the demonstration will not only meet with public favor, but will subsequently cause civil unrest and a rapid and serious deterioration of public order not only in Tirana but throughout Albania”.
It has also been reported that several foreign embassies of NATO member countries are updating the list and contact phone numbers of their citizens residing in Albania. Such an open act is a clear sign that they are preparing to evacuate their nationals from Albania.
The report states: “A 1997-style collapse of public order may only be a possibility. But if the police disappear from the streets and the central authority is reduced, perhaps even some of the prisoners of the Mojahedin-e Khalq camp will be able to take advantage of this opportunity and escape. I believe that the evacuation of the Iranian hostages who are living in the camp of illegal immigrants is not far off.”
It should be noted that the Albanian opposition leaders, who are included in the US and UK sanctions list, are constantly accused by Prime Minister Edi Rama and the Albanian state media, as well as Israel and the Israeli media, of having connections with Iran.
“Sot”, Israel’s media organ in Albania titled “Voice of Israel”, which has a very close relationship with the MEK, always attacks the Albanian opposition leaders.
On the other hand, “Home Justice” has made new revelations against the government, police and the security apparatus of Albania by presenting documents which the public prosecutor’s office deems the publication of such documents to be punishable.
The significant closeness of Edi Rama’s government to Saudi Arabia and Israel and their material, promotional and political support in recent months has attracted the attention of many international observers and they consider it as a sign of the weakening of the foundations of the current government of Albania

Gjergji Thanasi, Dashamir Mersuli and Vladimir Veisi are the Albanian members of ASILA who were invited by Nejat Society to visit Iran on the last days of Spring, 2022.

They arrived in Tehran on June 9th and began a journey of listening to parents and siblings who open up, reassuring them to aid them in order to end the imprisonment of their loved ones isolated in the Cult of Maryam Rajavi.
During their trip to Iran, they visited a few cities including Isfahan, Shiraz and Mashhad where they had meetings with heart-broken families of members of the MEK who have been looking forward to contact their loved ones barred physically and mentally in the group.
From Tehran to Tirana portrays the efforts of Nejat Society and ASILA along with anguishing families of MEK members to aid the hostages’ release from Ashraf 3.
The trailer released on Thursday for the documentary movie “From Tirana to Tehran ” is so powerful in its message about the MKO and its practices that it leaves no room for doubting why every defector that has managed to flee, insists on calling it a cult where members are required to demonstrate complete devotion to its leader.

The movie is inspired by a book of the same name written by a defector who managed to escape the camp two decades ago and who has dedicated his life to raising public awareness about the truth about this cult.
The movie also highlights the new methods of recruitment through social media platforms by the MKO’s so-called “keyboard warriors”—a group of about 300 MKO members who run fake social media accounts.
This is not the first time the MKO is using social media to advance its agenda… previous reports by other TV channels had also revealed their strategy.
The Mojahedin Khalgh Organization or the MKO is a known terrorist organization. It has killed more than 17,000 Iranians over the past 43 years and now it is actively involved in the riots in Iran instigating the younger generation through social media to carry out acts of vandalism. The best way to counter this terrorist organization is to raise public awareness and this is the main focus of the movie.

Considering that Mujahedin-e Khalq is a destructive cult of personality, former member, Hamid Agh Atabay give a simole but clear description of the life style in the MEK. Although, there is no single description that fits the lifestyle of every destructive cult out there, there are some common characteristics.
Many ex-cult members depict a type of isolated, moment-to-moment existence in which repressing fear and anxiety forms the ruling atmosphere. Chanting slogans, self-criticism and mind control become major coping mechanisms in this regard. Cut off from family, friends, homeland and the outside world, their old life becomes like a dream. This is what Hamid Agh Atabay, the most recent defector of the Cult of Rajavi describes in his Facebook post on October 25th.
Born in North of Iran on the coast of the Caspian Sea, Hamid Atabay writes of a heart-breaking scene when he visited the beach of Adriatic Sea in Albania after his defection from the MEK. He speaks of the six years he was isolated in the MEK’s camp in Manez north of Tirana only is 25 kilometers from the sea. He was never allowed to go to the beach freely.

“The MEK never allowed us to go to the beach unless there were no people there,” he writes. “They just took us there in winter and in groups of 200 members.”
Hamid Atabay was a soldier fighting in Iran-Iraq war when he was taken as prisoner of war by Iraqi forces. He was then recruited by MEK agents and this was the start of 35 years of imprisonment in the group. He was insulated by the Cult of Rajavi in Iraqi deserts for 29 years and in the Albanian village for 6 years. He left the group a few months ago and joined the free world.
Life in a destructive totalitarian cult is typically characterized by tight control. There is very little freedom in daily life: The leader prescribes what a member can and cannot do for every minute of the day. This includes what food he can eat, what books he can read, whom he can talk to, what he can wear, where he can go and how long he can sleep. The leader makes decisions, and the followers do as they are told.
This is what you can find in the simple words of Hamid Atabay: “Today I do not have to tell anyone that I want to go to the beach but when I was in the MEK, supervisors would always watch us even for a 20-meter distance inside the camp.”
