Open Letter of Iranian Pen Club to Dr. Ahmad Shaheed

Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights Situation in Iran .

With most respectful greetings to the esteemed Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights Situation in Iran, Dr. Ahmad Shaheed.

Your honor

With all due respect, we would like to inform you that Iran Ghalam Association ( Iranian Pen Club ) consists of ex-members of the Mojahedin-e- Khalgh that have succeeded in releasing themselves from mental and physical imprisonment of the Mojahedin lead by Masoud and Maryam Rajavi. Our goal is to help the other members who have not yet been able to release themselves from the above said Cult to be able to join their family in the free world and start a new life.

Whilst kanone Iran Galam greatly respects your endeavor in the Human Rights and Humanitarian issues, would like to bring the followings to your respectful attention:

1. We condemn any human right abuses in Iran and elsewhere. As you know very well in the contemporary world it is not only the Governments that abuse the Human Rights. But some political groups and organizations who pose as opposition to the governments also commit harsh abuses of Human Rights. Among them are groups in the former Yugoslavia, Russia and terrorist groups such as ISIS, al-Qaeda and Cult like group of Mujahidin e Khalg of Iran.

2. Unfortunately it has been reported that you are being feed by the sources that are linked to the Mujahidin Kalgh of Iran. Mujahidin of Iran lead by Masoud Rajavi and Maryam Rajavi pose as opposition to the Iranian Government, but in reality as far as human rights is concerned this cult greatly violates Human Rights inside and outside their group. Therefore we think that using such a group as a source for investigating the human rights violation would be wide of the mark.

3. In this respect we would like to bring to your respectful attention the International Human’s Right Watch report in 2005. The report titled “‘No Exit’ – Human Rights Abuses Inside the Mujahidin Khalq Camps – Human Rights Watch, May 2005” reflects extensive violation of the human rights, although it was a drop out of the ocean. The report is based on the direct testimonies of a dozen former MKO members, including five who were turned over to Iraqi security forces and held in Abu Ghraib prison under Saddam Hussein’s government. The report details how dissident members of the shadowy Mujahidin Khalq Organization (MKO) were tortured, beaten and held in solitary confinement for years at military camps in Iraq after they criticized the group’s policies and undemocratic practices, or indicated that they planned to leave the organization. Amongst them Mr. Mohammad Hussein Sobhani a dissident member of the MKO after 20 years of activity in the Organization was jailed for eight years which was later handed over to Saddam Hussein being jailed in Abu Ghorab Prison and experiences severe tortures and psychological and physical mistreatments. We also would like to point at the reports of Mr. Alibakhsh Afarinandeh which has recently been released from this Mujahidin Cult and published in the Pejwak website. Mr. Afarinandeh explaines his and other dissident members’ imprisonment and tortures in 1994 in great detail.

4. The report and the questions raised by Mr Iraj Mesdaghi who had been jailed for ten years in Iran for supporting the Mujahedin Khalq which having been released, joined them again in Europe, regarding the extent of the violation of the human rights in Mujahedin Khalq MKO

Your honor, are you aware of the violation of Human Rights in this Cult like Organization?

Amongst them:

-Sexual abuse of the women by Masoud Rajavi.

-Military use of the children.

-Prevention of the members from outside world even their children and families.

-Suppression of the dissident members, imprisonment, torture, and killing them at the time of Sadam Hossein the late Iraqi dictator.

-Force divorcing the members from their spouse and separating the children from their parents.

-Prevention of their members from leaving their Camps in unsecure Iraq which resulted in their death during different attacks on the Camps.

-Running systematic mind manipulation and inquisition sessions, against the members.

Your honor

Kanone Iran Ghalam( Iranian Pen Club ) members who are the victims of this terrorist cult group, which have spent most of the best years of our lives in this group, sincerely ask you the violation of the human rights in this organization be considered and light set on it for the sake of the basic rights of those still in custody of this group.

At the end we would like to express our gratitude and appreciation to your honor and thank you again for all your humanitarian activities.

With best regards

Kanone Iran Ghalam( Iranian Pen Club )

Iran Interlink Weekly Digest

Iran Interlink Weekly Digest – 65

++ As the UN Human Rights Council meets in Geneva, former MEK members have written to alert officers and attendees to the presence of Behzad Naziri. They say Behzad Naziri has donned a suit and tie and poses as a human rights activist to infiltrate the buildings and meetings of the UN. However, as a commander of Saddam’s Private Army he is a wanted man in Iraq where there are also cases pending accusing him of torture of MEK members. Many individuals have written personal testimonies against him in addition to their objection letters to the UN.

++ On the occasion of the anniversary of September 11, many people have written their personal memories about Massoud Rajavi’s reaction and the celebrations he ordered in support of Al Qaida. Rajavi said, “if they represent Reactionary Islam, we are Revolutionary Islam, and we can do ten times more”. Writers remind us that Rajavi changed his tune when America invaded Iraq and the MEK suddenly acted as if they had been American since birth. Rajavi was able to change sides in a matter of months because he leads a mercenary force.

++ The MEK held a celebration to mark the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the organisation. As usual this became a laughing stock. Writers pointed out that whatever the MEK originally was it is irrelevant to what it is now, it is a completely different organisation. Some said this was pitched to hold onto their older members. Even though the MEK rub shoulders with the likes of arch neoconservative John Bolton, they try to pretend to be the original anti-Imperialist MEK. Others say the MEK now have no real identity and their Zionist supporters are tying to buy them one. The irony is that they want to identify themselves as an anti-imperialist force, but to celebrate it they have to invite Zionists and Imperialists. Critics refer to Maryam Rajavi’s speech – her asking in every way possible for the Americans to help them stay in Iraq. The new Iraqi govt has made it impossible for them or ISIS to remain in Iraq since the Iraqi govt is now united as never before. While insisting on staying, in same speech Rajavi claims that the ‘blood of the 52′ has won their place in Iraq. Critics interpret this as wanting to kill the others too. In the celebration one of retired US generals has demanded that the US go and take over Camp Liberty and announce it as a ‘free zone’ protected by air jets and that the UN must be forced to give the mandate to take control of the place. He also said the MEK have the same rights as the Yazidis as residents of Iraq. Critics deride this, saying the MEK have now changed their nationality and are claiming to be Iraqis. While publishing reports about their activities on their own sites the MEK have, as usual, added a few lies of their own. The biggest lie this year was a made up, non-existent announcement by Ayatollah Sistani pronouncing value judgements for or against the new Iraqi politicians.

++ A third article from Ebrahim Khodabandeh in Tehran has been published in which he talks about the contact he has from both current members and former members of the Mojahedin Khalq. He relates what these various people say to him along with his own opinion about their issues. Khodabandeh says the people in Auvers sur Oise are very confused. The MEK claims to be secular, but when members ask about continued gender apartheid and enforced hijab, the commanders give no answer. According to the article, there are three major issues troubling the cult. One is the issue of religious identity and secularism. Another is about the continued ‘Presidency’ of Maryam Rajavi after two decades. One member had asked about this and was told that Maryam is “President of the Resistance”, to which he innocently replied that “we all know that by ‘Resistance’ you mean ‘Massoud Rajavi’, so does that mean he has appointed her as his President?” Apparently the man was severely punished for this. The third contentious issue is circulating in Camp Liberty. People are asking why, when high up members like Massoud Khodabandeh, Masoud Banisadr or Mesdaghi left the MEK, Rajavi didn’t start attacking them as ‘agents of the Iranian regime’ until they started speaking out against him and the MEK, yet when his Arabic translator Ghorban Ali Hossein Nejat left, Rajavi immediately denounced him as a homosexual. The members in Camp Liberty say they have no problem with his sexuality even if it were true, but they cannot understand Rajavi’s sensitivity toward him and this uncharacteristic response. One of the groups who were undergoing an indoctrination session with Abbas Davari (a veteran member of 40+ years), asked him about this. When pressed, Davari himself discovered that he had the same question, and he too had no answer. Finding this out, the MEK forced Davari to write against Nejat Association to be published on MEK websites. However, Davari is semi-literate (he was recruited as a railway worker before the 1979 revolution), yet in other cases, he has apparently written a book in English denouncing former MEK members and was named as the author of the ‘Pentagon Report’.

In English:

++ Mazda Parsi of Nejat Bloggers writes about ‘Modern Slavery in the Cult under Rajavi’s Program for Women’. Stating that the treatment of women is an indicator in understanding a civilized country, the article identifies the example of the Rajavi cult “which is governed by kind of modern slavery system [that] deprives female members from their fundamental freedoms and rights. Nevertheless, the MKO propaganda tries to demonstrate a modern democratic portrait of a viable alternative for the Iranian Government while in reality it practices discrimination and violence against its female members. The new documentary published by Press TV proves just the opposite of what their propaganda claims. “Comrades in Arms” unfolds the story of those women who fell for deceptive slogans of the MKO. Looking for a brighter future these women ended up in Camp Ashraf, where they faced a gloomy fate.”

++ Setaregan Association in Switzerland have written an Open letter to Pandeli Majko ( Albanian Prime Minister 1999 – 2002). The letter warns him of the deceptive methods the MEK uses to trap people like himself into giving their support. “The Rajavi cult (Massoud and Maryam Rajavi) has two completely different faces. In the EU and US they are behaving like a chameleon and hide their true nature. For example, Mrs Rajavi pretends that she is leading a struggle against dictatorship. In reality, we have experienced ourselves that Massoud and Maryam Rajavi are nothing other than brutal dictators themselves. Someone who does not allow the smallest basic freedoms inside their organisation cannot claim to be struggling for freedom, can they?”

++ Tehran Times reported remarks made by Ayatollah Rafsanjani, head of Iran’s Expediency Council, in a meeting with Danish Foreign Minister Martin Lidegaard in Tehran. “The condition for serious and effective fight against the ‘virus of terror and terrorism’ is sincerity, bravery, and avoidance from double standard policy,” Rafsanjani noted. Rafsanjani, a veteran politician, also said how one can believe the claims by Westerners, especially Americans, that they are fighting against terrorism while they still support some terrorist groups like the Mojahedin Khalq Organization. For example, Rafsanjani said, the U.S. is fighting ISIL terrorists in Iraq while it supported the terrorist group in Syria.”

++ The Financial Times exposed a financial corruption allegation involving Zalmay Khalilzad, a former US ambassador to Afghanistan and Iraq. Khalilzad, who now runs his own consultancy firm in Washington, has lobbied for the Kurdish regional administration in northern Iraq in the past and also represented foreign businesses in Iraq. He has also lobbied for the MEK.

++ Justin Raimondo’s article for Anti-War ‘Hoaxes, Hype, and Hysteria – The War Party never takes a holiday’, says “While Americans were barbecuing over the Labor Day weekend, the Usual Suspects were busy cooking up new wars, from Iraq to Ukraine. While this is nothing new – after all, evil never sleeps – one thing I did notice: the stunning lack of imagination on their part. It was, in effect, the equivalent of a bunch of summer reruns: tired formulaic retreads that weren’t all that convincing in the first place… the neocons came up with a not-so-new one [threat]: they claim a laptop computer ostensibly captured from ISIS by the “good” jihadists – the so-called Free Syrian Army, which is armed and trained by the US – contains plans for constructing “weapons of mass destruction,” i.e. biological weapons. They’re even calling it the “laptop of death” – a phrase that ought to ring a bell for those who follow these sorts of things. That’s the same phrase used to describe yet another purloined laptop, this one supplied by the Mujahedin-e-Khalq, an Iranian terrorist group that, for years, has been feeding the War Party bogus “intelligence” about Tehran’s nonexistent nuclear weapons program. That tall tale was debunked in 2011 – yet another case of MEK cobbling together old outdated data, adding a dash of forgery, and shaking well enough to fool the credulous.”

++ Iranian Pen Association writes an Open Letter to Dr Ahmed Shaheed, UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Iran, warning him of the lies fed to him by agents of the MEK. The letter reminds Dr Shaheed of the cult nature of the MEK and details some of the MEK’s abuses of human rights inside the organisation.

Mujahedin Khalq; A proxy force

The War Party never takes a holiday

Hoaxes, Hype, and Hysteria

While Americans were barbecuing over the Labor Day weekend, the Usual Suspects were busy cooking up new wars, from Iraq to Ukraine. While this is nothing new – after all, evil never sleeps – one thing I did notice: the stunning lack of imagination on their part. It was, in effect, the equivalent of a bunch of summer reruns: tired formulaic retreads that weren’t all that convincing in the first place.

Take the latest war propaganda centered on the alleged "threat" to our precious bodily fluids supposedly posed by ISIS, the War Party’s latest bogeyman. As polls showed a stubborn reluctance on the part of the American people to re-invade Iraq, the neocons came up with a not-so-new one: they claim a laptop computer ostensibly captured from ISIS by the "good" jihadists – the so-called Free Syrian Army, which is armed and trained by the US – contains plans for constructing "weapons of mass destruction," i.e. biological weapons. They’re even calling it the "laptop of death" – a phrase that ought to ring a bell for those who follow these sorts of things.

That’s the same phrase used to describe yet another purloined laptop, this one supplied by the Mujahedin-e-Khalq, an Iranian terrorist group that, for years, has been feeding the War Party bogus "intelligence" about Tehran’s nonexistent nuclear weapons program. That tall tale was debunked in 2011 – yet another case of MEK cobbling together old outdated data, adding a dash of forgery, and shaking well enough to fool the credulous.

You can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but what if the dog can pass off an old hoax as a new one? And that’s why I’m here: to remind you.

Speaking of America’s Good Jihadists, a.k.a. the Syrian Free Army, I was struck by this nugget from an account of the killing of Douglas McAuthur McCain, an American fighting for ISIS in Syria, in the New York Times:

"The rebels who killed him were fighting for the Free Syrian Army, a rival group backed by the United States, and they went on to behead six ISIS fighters – but not Mr. McCain – and then posted the photographs on Facebook."

Yes, these are the "moderate" Syrian rebels, backed by your tax dollars and the prestige of the United States government. Oh, but don’t worry, kids: they’re our barbarians – so beheading is okay, even praiseworthy, since they’re doing it on behalf of spreading "freedom" and "democracy."

And speaking of hoaxes, here’s a biggie: they’re telling us that the long-awaited Russian invasion of eastern Ukraine has finally arrived! Yay! You can almost hear the sigh of relief all the way from Washington. The War Party’s journalistic camarilla – which has been telling us for the past six months or so that Putin’s move was "imminent" – yelped "we told you so!" in unison. Neocon hysteric Anne Applebaum screeched that this proved that we have to prepare for "total war" with nuclear-armed Russia – which, she claims, is planning to "use nuclear weapons to bomb Poland and the Baltic countries."

There’s just one problem with this alleged "invasion" – there’s zero evidence for it. Normally when one country invades another, troops pour over the border, missiles strike their targets, and the invaders proclaim their victory. So where are the Russian tanks, the missiles raining down death, the tens of thousands of troops marching in to take possession of their newly-conquered territory?

They’re nowhere to be seen. The best NATO could come up with was a series of murky satellite photos showing a column of military vehicles going somewhere from some place else – and that’s it. Apparently the Ukrainian army is so under-equipped that the poor things don’t even have a single cell phone camera to take a quick shot of the invading hordes. (This just proves they need more American aid!) Washington avers that one thousand Russian troops are now in Ukraine – but why would Putin send in such a paltry "army" and risk defeat? Why not just send in the troops, as he did in Crimea, and be done with it?

Oh, but the new cold warriors have a ready answer for the absence of solid evidence: this, we’re told, is no regular old-fashioned conquest. In this case, it’s a "new" kind of invasion – a "stealth invasion." Which just goes to show that words can be twisted to mean their exact opposite.

Yet this "stealth" angle elides an important element of any invasion plan: the political benefits to be had at home. These are, by the way, the only benefits to be had if Putin decided to annex ramshackle east Ukraine, with its profitless Soviet-era industries and desperately poor populace. So why isn’t he up there beating his chest and scoring points by telling the Russian people he’s the kind of strong leader who can stand up to the West?

The War Party has sunk to a new low: they’re stealing from Hollywood! If this isn’t outright plagiarism of the plot of "Wag the Dog," then it’s damned close. If I were the producers of that movie, I’d sue – but that’s just me.

While our war propagandists lack originality, you have to give them credit for persistence: these guys never give up. When one lie is exposed, another quickly takes center stage – and if the War Party does this in the belief that the memory of the American people is lamentably short, then who can fault their logic?

That’s why Antiwar.com is a vitally important resource for those of us who want to put an end to our foreign policy of global intervention. Our online archives are a detailed record of the War Party’s now-debunked fabrications, a charge sheet stretching all the way back to the mid-1990s.

And our readers apparently realize the value of this resource – because, unlike the War Party’s bought-and-paid-for "journalists," we depend on a growing base of grassroots supporters to keep this operation afloat and expanding.

Amid all the navel-gazing discussion by "mainstream" scribes about how to sustain a news operation in the face of a technology that has changed the face of journalism, Antiwar.com’s success in building a new model has gone largely unremarked. As mainline journalists bemoan the decline of their industry, Antiwar.com has pointed the way forward for new media by building a news organization that abandons the old subscriber-advertiser-dependent revenue stream and bases itself, instead, on reader donations.

Of course, bloggers have been doing this, with the by-now-traditional "tip jar," for years, but I believe we were among the first to apply it to a broader-based news-and-opinion site – and make it work.

It has worked for over fifteen years. Every time we pass the goal in our quarterly fundraising drives I feel an immense satisfaction in the fact that our readers have given us yet another vote of confidence.

From where I sit, it looks as though our late summer fundraising drive is very close to the goalpost. My thanks to all who gave: I can’t even begin to express the depth of my gratitude. And I want to point out that none of us here at Antiwar.com take your support for granted: we work overtime to earn your support by reporting the facts as we understand them and never failing to question the "conventional wisdom" – no matter where it takes us.

Former members of the MEK

Ali Mohammad Khatami;MKO former member visits his parents after 27 years

Ali Mohammad Khatami was in MKO camps for 27 years. He was a soldier when he was taken as war prisoner by Iraqi forces in 1987. He then was recruited by Rajavi’s fraudulent propaganda team.
Nejat Society offices in Golestan and Khorasan Razavi held welcome meetings for these two defectors.

Ali Mohamad Khatami who joined his family in Nejat Society office in Mashhad was very happy to see his parents after years of separation.

“I’m sorry and at the same time very happy”, he said. “I’m really ashamed to see my mother and father for the grieves I made them suffer for years.”

Ali Mohammad Khatami returned home

Albania

Open letter from Setaregan Association to former Albanian PM

Open letter from Setaregan Association to Pandeli Majko ( Albanian Prime Minister 1999 – 2002)

Dear Mr Pandeli Majko,

With respect.

Setaregan Association are a group of ex members of the Rajavi cult (Mojahedin Khalq, MEK), who have been working in that cult for many years. Hence we have exclusive first hand experience and information from the inside. We have been informed that unfortunately you have been used by the cult which, as usual, has provided you with false information in order to use your good name and reputation. We feel that at this point we should pass some of our knowledge and experience to your good self so that you would be a bit more familiar with the real nature of this cult and rescue your reputation by distancing yourself from this dangerous and inhumane group as soon as possible.

1 – Rajavi cult (Massoud and Maryam Rajavi) has two completely different faces. In the EU and US they are behaving like a chameleon and hide their true nature. For example, Mrs Rajavi pretends that she is leading a struggle against dictatorship. In reality, we have experienced ourselves that Massoud and Maryam Rajavi are nothing other than brutal dictators themselves.

2 – Someone who does not allow the smallest basic freedoms inside their organisation cannot claim to be struggling for freedom, can they? The Rajavis in this cult forced us to separate from our spouses. Massoud Rajavi banned any love except total love for the cult leaders, i.e. Massoud and Maryam. Any other relationship would be considered a serious crime. We were forcefully separated from our children and were told to forget them alongside our other family members. We were told that we are not allowed to even think or dream about them. Thinking about our family was a crime for which we would be brought up before an internal court and sentenced to imprisonment on the charges of betraying the leadership. Any prisoners who would still refuse to sacrifice their family for Massoud and Maryam would disappear or some would be tortured in front of others. Many of the witnesses who have managed to survive are ready to testify to this if needed. Would these people refrain from torturing and executing people if they come to power when they are already committing these crimes when they are not in power?

3 – There was strict segregation in their camps to the point that men and women were not even allowed to say hello to each other. Saying hello would be considered a crime for which you would be taken to court. Women were forced to wear strict hijab and had no right to choose anything. Many women have undergone forced hysterectomy in order to deprive them of any hope of a normal life and give them more reason to stay with the cult. Men were ordered give up their responsibilities so that women could replace them. Massoud Rajavi believes that he can more easily exert power over women. He believed, rightly or wrongly, that men would resist his inhuman orders and wouldn’t carry out these orders as obediently as women. He would tell women that “you are a bunch of useless people who were only good for looking after children, but now I have empowered you and given you responsibilities. You have nothing from yourselves and, if not because of me, you will again be nothing and you can only survive if you obey 100 percent every order I give you.” He would oblige women to carry out orders without question. Women were afraid of him and would not ask any questions. This is what he would call “taking responsibility”, and what he was expecting from women. This is what Maryam Rajavi means when she talks about “equality of men and women” (both submitting completely). Is this what the people of Iran want and should wait for?

4 – In the Rajavi cult, working to death is carried out in order to stop people from thinking and to keep them busy. There is of course no pay, even though during the rule of Saddam the Rajavis were getting paid lavishly for every one of us every month. Saddam would even give them a share of Iraq’s oil sales for every member they had. This money was never passed to the people and stayed in Rajavis accounts. I don’t know what is your perception of slavery, but this is what we experienced there. People whose fathers, mothers, spouses, children … have been taken away by force, they have no right to even think about anything and are engaged in forced hard labour in the heat and the cold. Really! What is your perception of slavery?

5 – Criticising the leader was equal to signing your own execution order. Criticising the leadership cadre and higher ranks were strictly forbidden and would be met with a crushing response. This of course extended to the National Council of Resistance as well. In the NCRI, the Rajavis label any critic as a mercenary and hence attack and character assassinate and dismiss them. Is this what Maryam Rajavi’s version of “freedom of speech” is, and is this what they are promising for the future of Iran?

6 – In this oppressive cult, people are constantly under pressure and criticism. It is like North Korea where everyone has to feel in debt to the leader every second of their lives. They should wait every day for their turn to sacrifice their lives in order the satisfy the leader. They should be ashamed of themselves for every day that they are alive and believe they would only satisfy the leader and become acceptable when they give their lives and become martyrs. We were forced every day to confess that we are causes of shame for the leader, etc. Does this not remind you of the Inquisition? Maryam Rajavi claimed that she would only rule for 6 months after they take over and then it is the people who would decide. In this case, why is Maryam Rajavi insisting on calling herself the President for the last couple of decades? In the last two decades, why has she not allowed the members to choose another head?

Anyone who has survived the cult has a few books to write about this cult. We are just mentioning some of this knowledge in passing with the hope that you would be encouraged to undertake your own independent investigation into this issue. Every one of us, the ex members and survivors, are of course more than happy to meet you personally and explain our experiences and provide you with documents and evidence. You will then see that why it is that the people of Iran and Iraq, and even the Iranians and Iraqis in Europe, hate this cult.

We urge you again to investigate deeper and distance yourself from this inhuman cult before any damage had been done to your dignity and integrity, especially with the people of Albania.

Yours faithfully,

Nassrin Ebrahimi

Human Rights Abuse in the MEK

Modern Slavery in the Cult under Rajavi’s Program for Women

Women’s right around the world today is an important indicator in understanding a civilized country.  Many may think that women’s rights is only the issue in religious countries while it is actually a global issue.  However, the problem is improving across the world but there are still a lot of women who have to struggle to achieve it.  For instance, women who have been recruited by destructive cults such as the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO) are good examples of how women are being treated unfairly.  The cult of Rajavi (the MKO) which is governed by kind of modern slavery system deprives female members from their fundamental freedoms and rights.

Nevertheless, the MKO propaganda tries to demonstrate a modern democratic portrait of a viable alternative for the Iranian Government while in reality it practices discrimination and violence against its female members.  The new documentary published by Press TV proves just the opposite of what their propaganda claims. “Comrades in Arms” unfolds the story of those women who fell for deceptive slogans of the MKO. Looking for a brighter future these women ended up in Camp Ashraf, where they faced a gloomy fate.

The testimonies of three interviewed women who are interviewed in the documentary severely challenge very special page on Maryam Rajavi’s website where its Gobbles propaganda issues a long statement titled “Women’s Freedoms and Equality in Tomorrow’s Iran”. Criticizing the Constitution of the Islamic Republic for violation of women rights.

“Fundamental freedoms and rights” numbered on this page of the MKO site, one after the other, ironically recalls you the testimonies of Batoul Soltani, Zahra Moini and Nasrin Ebrahimi, former members of the Cult of Rajavi in Press TV documentary.

According to the so-called program that Maryam Rajavi has planned for the future of women in Iran  Women shall have the equal right to enjoy all human rights and fundamental freedoms’’. In contrast, about the situation of women in the MKO, Batoul Soltani says, “What I saw in this organization was that women were merely tools in every level I witnessed.” Zahra Moini whose arm was wounded in the group’s blind military operation against Iran, Eternal Light, says, “This was his old slogan that women were open to exploitation but we were exploited most in the organization.”

What do you think of this article of the so-called statement in support of women?

“Women are free to choose their place of residence, occupation, and education. They must have the opportunity to travel freely, have the right to freely choose their clothing and spouse, and have the right to leave the country, to obtain foreign citizenship, to devolve citizenship to their children, to divorce, and to obtain custody and guardianship over children.”

The paragraph seems pretty nice! If you are not well informed about the true nature of the MKO you may imagine such a democratic progressive humanitarian political movement exist in this group but the testimonies of the a few number of a large group of women held as hostages in the MKO camps indicates the extremely abusive condition of members in the Cult of Rajavi, particularly female ones. “As for Camp Ashraf, it’s very painful to talk about it. It’s like to be in the Guantanamo Bay detention camp for years and experience the sufferings and then talk about it,” Nasrin describes the horrible camp Ashraf.

“Everything was obligatory there: organizational obligations, organizational dos and don’ts, organizational rules, and relations that would become tense and tenser every minute”, says Batoul.

Based on the defectors’ testimonies and numerous international reports including NO EXIT report of the Human Rights Watch, violation of individual rights in the MKO ranges from mandatory marriage and divorce to solitary confinement and torture that in some cases ended up in death. So what about this dimension of Maryam Rajavi’s ideal world for women:  “Women must have free and equal right to choose, marry or divorce a spouse. They must have the opportunity to travel freely, have the right to freely choose their clothing and spouse, and have the right to leave the country, to obtain foreign citizenship, to devolve citizenship to their children, to divorce, and to obtain custody and guardianship over children”?

You may find the sarcastic answer in Batoul words: “And what we witnessed from the beginning – though my marriage conformed to social norms and was not an organizational marriage – I encountered women who were devoid of emotional involvement with their husbands but the organization had made them marry. For the first time, I saw compulsory marriages in the organization. It’s very difficult to love someone by force. I think that it’s very difficult for a woman to do so.”

“It was a very difficult process for me as it was a mental torture for me.” She adds.” I was with a group of people who kept talking about divorce and hate children and mutual life. It was not accepted for them to have children. It was a sin for the people I was with to sleep with their spouses.”

But the most ridiculous part of the statement seems to be this one: “Polygamy is prohibited”!

Nasrin speaks of very long meetings where Maryam Rajavi tried to manipulate female members to consider Massoud as their only one husband. Maryam told them: “We women all have only one husband who is Masoud Rajavi. You have the most handsome and the best man in the world.  So what’s wrong with you?”

Batoul was one of the members of the group’s Elite Council. She was one of those chosen women who were indoctrinated to marry Massuod. “One day a ceremony was held – it was the wedding ceremony – in which Masoud Rajavi performed the marriage ceremony and the women stood up one by one saying, “Yes”, she recounts.

Female survivors of the MKO destructive cult reveal facts about dancing sessions in which women were encouraged to dance in front of Massoud “uniting with him” according to Maryam Rajavi’s claim, although they were severely forbidden to talk or even look at male members in the camp. 

Read Btoul’s firsthand account of what happens in the inner side of the MKO filthy relations.

“I suddenly realized that the senior members of the leadership council began to take their dresses off. When about 25 senior members of the leadership council began to take off their dresses and stripped naked other women who were of my rank followed suit and Maryam Rajavi and others were encouraging, “This is your pool. You should dive into it. Come on! Get undressed in front of the leader.” The meeting went on this way; for about three to four hours they were dancing. Masoud, though at first pretended to be discontent over our presence there, sat comfortably eyeing up us all.”*

Nasrin is definitely right to feel sick when she hears the phrase “pure Mujahedins’ relations”. “There are no pure relations in the organization,” she says. “I haven’t seen relations so filthy as in the organization than in everywhere else.”

In Camp Parsian Batoul was selected by Maryam to sleep with Massoud. She describes the first night to sleep with the cult leader how her mind was obsessed with contradictory thoughts about her beloved leader and his organization:

“When Maryam Rajavi called me to see Masoud at night it didn’t mean that I was in love with Masoud waiting with bated breath to see him or that I had an overwhelming urge since I had no husband. No, that was not the case. The only reason was that I couldn’t stand up against the organization when I was there. I knew that if I had fought them they would have done away with me. I couldn’t fight with them. I thought, “If I say no to them, what would happen next? Would they leave me alone? No. and this is not a subject to be discussed in the leadership council.” Then it would come to my mind that such and such a member of the leadership council who had disappeared mysteriously might have been killed or whatever. Later on, I had no doubt that they would kill anyone who disagrees with them in the leadership council. So I decided to let him do whatever he wanted waiting for a moment to save my body.”

She lists names of several women who were mysteriously disappeared in the organization. Later she found out that she was not the only one to sleep with Massoud. That was then she could see Rajavi’s true colors. ”I wondered why marriage and sexual satisfaction was banned for all men while he exempted himself,” Batoul says.

The entire documentary rejects this passage of Maryam’s plan for prosperity of Iranian women: “Any exploitation of women under any pretext is prohibited. All traditions, laws and regulations according to which the parents, a guardian or anyone else put girls or women at the disposal of others on the pretext of marriage or any other pretext for sexual gratification or exploitation will be repealed”

Together with her friends, Nasrin is now dedicated to reveal the true substance of the MKO Cult. She notes: “They appear good, happy and beautiful in public but they are rotten to the core. Only we who were there know their real characters and therefore hate their appearances. It makes us sick when Maryam Rajavi delivers a speech. It taxes our patience to listen to her speech word by words because we know that she’s lying through her teeth. It makes us puke when she talks about women.”

Iran Interlink Weekly Digest

Iran Interlink Weekly Digest – 64

++ There was a strong reaction to the MEK’s TV programme in which the group has asked for money. Commentators identified this as a need to publicly whitewash the money which the MEK have already received from Saudi Arabia and Israel. They say it is disgusting that ordinary people may fall into the trap and be fooled into giving money to the MEK which they don’t need.

++ Iran’s parliament declared the establishment of an all-party committee for the support of the victims of terrorism in Iran. As well as giving various support to the victims, the committee will also follow their cases through the judiciary. This mostly involves victims of MEK terrorism which has claimed the lives of 16,000 people in Iran.

++ There has been continued reaction to the film about the Mohammadi family, which has shocked people in Iran in particular. The film shows how the MEK have deceived and misused and ruthlessly exploited families. Many ex members remind us that “this is not unique to one family, it is the story of all of us, we have all suffered like this”.

++ On the anniversary of the attack on Camp Ashraf in which 52 MEK members and Massoud Dalili, an ex-member, were killed, Maryam Rajavi made some risible statements. She claimed that Maliki’s departure and arrival of Abadi from the same Shia faction is a victory that the MEK has achieved, and because of this the blood of these 52 martyrs has not been in vain. Many critics point out how disgusting she is to claim such a thing.

++ Irandidban has an analysis of Maryam and Massoud Rajavi’s behaviour during the years they tried to hang on to Ashraf. The title is: ‘anniversary of shattering Rajavi’s ideological container (Ashraf), Rajavi’s delusions and the price members pay’. The article takes a historic overview of Rajavi’s delusions, including his dream that the Americans would save him, right up to the point where he has now left his people in Iraq to get killed. Looking into Rajavi’s history Irandidban makes the case that there is a discernible pattern in which Rajavi makes a mess of something like the failed 1981 coup or operation Eternal Light, and then runs away and sacrifices others.

++ News this week that Iran has helped Iraqi forces to oust IS apparently led to American suggestions for cooperation with Iran because they saw how effectively the terrorists were dealt with. Rajavi is afraid of such rapprochement and is shouting through his sites to stop this. He is angry that IS and the Saddamists have been pushed aside and he is worried there will be an alliance that will wipe out the rest of IS. The only places which have announced any support for IS have been Rajavi and Saddam’s daughter.

 

++ An open letter by the usual paid MEK lobbyists published in the Washington Times and addressed to President Obama, asks him to help rescue the MEK in Iraq. Several analyses were written as to why the MEK would pursue such an irrelevant issue at this point in time. Firstly, what the MEK says now contradicts their previous claim that the new government of Iraq is in their favour. They now claim even worse mistreatment as they are not allowed to empty the septic tanks or bring fuel into Camp Liberty. Mojtaba Rashidi from Paris has an analysis as to why the MEK jumped on this now when their real job has been to prepare for Geneva and New York to try to derail negotiations and rapprochement. Rashidi says they have suddenly woken up to the reality that IS and the Saddamists have been unexpectedly pushed back and now there is a vacuum which presents a danger for them. Whether Maliki is better or Abadi, the reality is that the Iraqi establishment is unified. There is no internal fighting for the MEK to live in the gaps like a parasite. Even though their paymasters’ orders are to work to cause problems for Iran at the UN in Geneva and New York, the MEK have panicked and gone into a defensive mode in Iraq. Essentially, if the MEK cannot keep hold of their hostages in Camp Liberty and especially if these people arrive in Europe and start talking, the MEK will have no substance, no basis to say anything. If this happens all they can do is wait to go to court instead of staging demonstrations.

In English:

++ Masoud Banisadr spoke at a London Press Conference on “terrorism, cults and mind manipulation”. He identified three area of weakness which can be exploited by terrorist recruiters: perceived injustice, misrepresentation of ideology or doctrine and the use of methods of mind manipulation. Describing these recruits as modern slaves, Banisadr concludes that “we need to inform and educate society and especially young people about these phenomena and the dangers they pose. We must criminalize the brainwashing and enslavement of people, just as we banned the old slavery. We need to help people who are on the road to killing their personality and individuality, just as we try to prevent would-be suicides”.

++ Philip Giraldi writes in Global Research that ‘Pro-Israeli American Billionaires Helped by the White House “Make War on Iran”’. A legal case in Manhattan has exposed “a group of Jewish American billionaires who are apparently doing their best to make sure than negotiations with Iran go nowhere in the mistaken belief that they are doing what is best for Israel. And they would also appear to be assisted in their efforts by the White House, which is at the same time claiming that it wants the talks to be successful.” Giraldi argues that “the power and wealth of the anti-Iran groups as well as their unrivalled access to the United States government means that a policy of détente with Iran, which would be a no brainer based on both American and Iranian interests, only proceeds by fits and starts with the US Congress and much of the media lined up solidly to stop the effort.” He identifies the role of the MEK: “Supporters of MEK also ignore the fact that the group is run like a cult, routinely executes internal dissidents, and has virtually no political support within Iran. But such are the ways of the corrupt Washington punditocracy, lionizing an organization that it should be shunning. MEK’s political arm is located in Paris and it has long been assumed that it is funded by the Israeli government and by at least some of the same gaggle of billionaires, possibly including their Israeli counterparts, who support the anti-Iranian agenda in the United States.”

++ Nejat bloggers goes “behind the scene of the Al Arabiya interview with Maryam Rajavi”. The article exposes the MEK’s former links with Al Arabiya. Former MEK member Batoul Soltani notes, ”considering that today the cult of Rajavi is more hated and disgraced for its alliance with ISIS, the cult has resorted to Al Arabiya TV in order to gloss over its scandalous situation among Iraqi nation.” In her opinion the interview was just a masquerade show for Maryam Rajavi to deny their cooperation with ISIS.

++ Adam Forrest writing for Vice.com had a nice interview with Masoud Banisadr about “the power of cults, and how this might help us understand why young men in the UK are vulnerable to joining the Islamic State and other extremist groups”. The article ended with the question: “What would you say to British parents who have children fighting in Syria or Iraq?”

Banisadr answers: “It’s very difficult, very delicate. If a parent says anything critical against a radical preacher, or about an organisation like Islamic State, that’s when a person’s mind becomes defensive. It is difficult to argue rationally. So if a parent has contact, they should not try to talk about politics or religion. They should show only kindness and love. This is the member’s weakness. Feelings do not die away, even if personality has changed. So the parent has to let them know they will be there, waiting. There has to be a pathway back to a life where family love is there, something that has nothing do with ideological thinking. Unconditional love unlocks the mind manipulation that has taken place.”

++ A Sepinoud writing for Nejat Bloggers claims that Rajavi’s agenda is to make 3000 martyrs. Sepinoud examines the events of the September 1, 2013 attack on Camp Ashraf before concluding: “Despite the Cult’s futile efforts to rebuild its cultic structure in any country and its members are being transferred in order to keep the transferees within the cult boundaries, still a large number of the MKO members who relocated to Albania distanced themselves from the group and connected to the former members in Europe and have started denouncing the MKO. So, the MKO leaders who see their cult on the verge of collapse and losing their decades-long hostages seem to prefer to make use of the Liberty captives in a way which best benefits their interests. That is to make 3000+ martyrs out of them.”

Former members of the MEK

A Former MEK Member Speaks About the ‘Cult’ of Extremism

Interview with Massoud Banisadr

 In 1979, Masoud Banisadr was a young postgraduate maths student at Newcastle University, watching political upheaval in his homeland of Iran on the nightly news. After the fall of the Western-backed Shah, wanting to play his part in a new society he joined Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MEK), an Islamic Marxist revolutionary organisation.

 But a couple of years after the revolution, the MEK began to clash with Ayatollah Khomeini’s theocratic regime and were soon deemed an enemy of the new Iran. MEK suicide bombings and assassinations followed. In 1981, thousands of MEK members went into exile, and by 1986 had established a tight-knit paramilitary organisation in Iraq led by husband-and-wife team Masoud and Maryam Rajavi.

 Banisadr became the MEK’s PR man, moving between Camp Ashraf, their headquarters in Iraq, Geneva and Washington DC, trying to win over Western politicians. He finally left the group in 1996, went into hiding and now lives back in England.

The United States removed MEK from its list of terrorist organisations in 2012, but Banisadr still considers it a fanatical cult acting under the warped leadership of the Rajavis. He argues that any terrorist organisation is either a cult or “has no option but to become one in order to survive”.

 I spoke to Banisadr about the power of cults, and how this might help us understand why young men in the UK are vulnerable to joining the Islamic State and other extremist groups.

VICE: You were once a high-ranking member of MEK. Why do you now see the organisation as a cult?

Masoud Banisadr: There was a charismatic leader, Rajavi. There was a black-and-white world view imposed; followers cutting themselves off from family; followers losing their personality. There was mind manipulation. At Camp Ashraf in Iraq there were talks lasting for days on end. I remember one task where we had to write down our old personality in one column on a board, and the new personality in a different column. I remember a guy who said, “My brother works in the Iranian embassy in London. Before I loved him as my brother, now I hate him as my enemy. I am ready to kill him tomorrow, if necessary.” And everyone applauded.

 How did you justify violence?

 I was fortunate not to be involved in any violence. But all group members accepted MEK suicide bombings and killings in Iran to be revolutionary acts. This was the brainwashing. And later, in my role as official representative, I would justify and explain these acts as the only means we had to defend ourselves. I was a nice person, well-mannered, and could argue very rationally with politicians. So I was a good salesman.

 Why did MEK members divorce their wives?

 In 1990, Rajavi said all members must divorce their spouses. My own wife had already left the group by then. All members accepted these terms, and it [applied to] everyone except the leader and his wife Maryam. In a single day, everyone became celibate. Someone asked, “What about sex in the afterlife?” He replied, “I know your trick – you want to fantasise about the afterlife. But no – you must be prepared to forget about sex, about spouses, about love.”

 No sex?

 No sexual thoughts. The idea was that we were in a war to take back Iran, so you cannot have a family until the war is won. This was the excuse the outside world would hear, but inside we were told your spouses are a barrier between you and the leadership. We were ordered to surrender our soul, heart and mind to Rajavi and his wife.

Masoud meeting trade union leaders at an International Labour Conference in Geneva in 1987 (published in an MEK newspaper).

How did you manage to leave the organisation?

What saved me was seeing my daughter. In 1996 I came to London to arrange some meetings. I saw my daughter, after many years of not seeing her. I had totally forgotten about the guy who was the father, the old Masoud. I only knew Masoud, the MEK member. The old Masoud wanted to hug her, but the group member – living under strict rules where men and women never interacted – knew he should not. I was fortunate that I had a bad back problem, so I was allowed to go and recuperate in hospital. And in those two weeks, being around ordinary people, seeing ordinary families, I allowed feelings for my own family to come back. And so, finally, I decided to leave the group.

Where did you go?

I had to go on the run for a time. I learned how to hide myself around the UK until they gave up looking for me.

What do you think it is that makes young people vulnerable to extremist causes?

 Well, terrorism is like a virus. It attacks us through our weaknesses. It kills our personality, our individuality, like a cult. I think there are three stages. The first stage is the injustice of the world. Young Muslims see injustice, become angry and want to react. Then comes along a powerful ideology, and the Wahabi ideology offers a very simple, black-and-white world view, and a very narrow-minded interpretation of jihad, offered as a solution to young Muslims. But both these stages are not enough to make someone a terrorist, a human bomb or a fighter for a caliphate. A third stage is required: the mind manipulation, which robs someone of their personality, makes them identify entirely with the group and cuts them off from their parents and society.

So radical ideas alone aren’t enough to go off and fight for, say, the Islamic State?

If you’re a young Muslim and you feel like a nobody, it’s appealing to hear that we can return to the time of Prophet Mohammed – [that] we will be powerful again and feel proud of ourselves. This can make you radical – even prepared to be violent – but you will not stay a fighter or become a martyr without being entirely cut-off from family and the values of the society you were brought up in. That requires the mind-manipulation that goes on in a destructive cult.

Where does the Islamic State fit in? Do you consider it a cult as well as a terrorist organisation?

The signs are there. The leader – Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi – is charismatic and has unlimited ambition. He has been introduced as the leader of all Muslims, the Caliph. Normal leaders want political power. Cult leaders want something more than governing a city or country – they want to govern history. They want to change the structure of humanity. For a while they were calling themselves ISIL – Islamic State of Iraq and Levant.

They wanted control of Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel. Now they call themselves the Islamic State. They want whatever they think was once part of the Islamic empire, so they claim Spain, Portugal, North Africa, India and part of China and Russia. They want the whole world, to make everyone Muslim. This is not normal leadership; this is heading towards cult. There is no limitation you can deal with, politically.

 What would you say to British parents who have children fighting in Syria or Iraq?

It’s very difficult, very delicate. If a parent says anything critical against a radical preacher, or about an organisation like Islamic State, that’s when a person’s mind becomes defensive. It is difficult to argue rationally. So if a parent has contact, they should not try to talk about politics or religion. They should show only kindness and love. This is the member’s weakness. Feelings do not die away, even if personality has changed. So the parent has to let them know they will be there, waiting. There has to be a pathway back to a life where family love is there, something that has nothing do with ideological thinking. Unconditional love unlocks the mind manipulation that has taken place.

 Thanks, Masoud.

The cult of Rajavi

MKO leaders’ agenda to make 3000 martyrs!!!

September first reminds us of a disputed attack at Camp Ashraf which left 52 out of 100 camp residents dead and 7 people allegedly got missed.

After the majority residents of Camp Ashraf had been relocated to Camp Liberty as a Temporary Transit Location based on the December2011 Quadra agreement between Bagdad, UN, US and MKO, 100 residents remained behind in Camp under the pretext of resolving the issue of remaining properties of the group.

However, the main reason was that the Mujahedin Khalq leadership hidden agenda was to bring the members back to the camp Ashraf.

Indeed, since the downfall of Saddam Hussein as their benefactor in Iraq, the newly established Iraqi Shiite government has repeatedly reiterated their unwillingness to host the ousted dictator’s allies in their soil, considering the MKO’s heinous atrocities against Iraqi people.

However, the Rajavis ignored the legal decision of the legitimate government and the people of Iraq and kept insisting on keeping members in Iraq.

The MKO leadership considered the Camp Ashraf as their strategic-ideological base which could guarantee the group’s armed substance along with its cult-like structure. So they prolonged their stay in Camp Ashraf and Iraq.

On September1, 2013 Mujahedin Khalq press were first to publish the news, Photographs and videos of the scene of the suspicious attack were shown. Broadcasting their own version of events, the organization immediately claimed the violent act was conducted by an Iraqi SWAT team.

The Iraqi officials on the other hand denied the accusations asserting that some MKO members attacked and killed two soldiers outside the gate. The Iraqi officials said “an internal dispute was to blame”, Associated Press reported at the time.

The incident followed by condemnations –while assigning no blame – from UN, EU, European and US governments, asking Iraq to launch an investigation into the attack. Amnesty International also called for an impartial inquiry. 

United Nations officials visited the camp Ashraf shortly after the incident and condemned the bloodshed, but they didn’t report any findings as to who was responsible. []

Although some news reported the attackers to be Intifada Iraqi youth whose families had been massacred by the MKO as Iraq ousted dictator’s ally, the tragic assault on Ashraf remained unclear to date.

Whoever perpetrated the attack, still the MKO leaders are to blame for murders because of their resistance toward evacuation of the Camp despite  the Iraq, US, European Union and UNAMI several times calling on the Cult leadership to evacuate Ashraf considering the previous attacks on both MKO camps as well as the December2011 MoU . 

At last the tragic controversial bloody incident at the Camp Ashraf forced the Cult leadership to evacuate the Camp. Some 10 days after the tragic incident the 42 remaining survivals left the Camp to reside in the Camp Liberty and await to be transferred to third countries.

The MKO members’ transfer to Temporary Transit Location and evacuating the Camp Ashraf was truly a new start in the group’s declining course.

The number of defections has been significantly increased since the relocation to TTL as the MKO cult leaders could not maintain their cult structure completely. The MKO leaders couldn’t resist towards transferring Liberty residents to third countries. More than three hundred members have been transferred to Albania, Germany and Italy. there are unconfirmed news quoting informed sources in Iraqi Foreign Ministry as stating that 850 of the Camp Liberty residents will be relocated in the US, Canada, Albania and Romania up to end of 2014.[]

Despite the Cult futile efforts to rebuild its cultic structure in any country its members are being transferred in order to keep the transferees within the cult boundaries, still a large number of the MKO members who relocated to Albania distanced themselves from the group and connected to the former members in Europe and have started denouncing the MKO.

So as the MKO leaders who see their cult on the verge of collapse and losing their decades-long hostages seems to prefer to make use of the Liberty captives in a way which best benefits their interests. That is to make 3000+ martyrs out of them. 

The heavy lobbying struggle by MKO’s widespread propaganda network in European countries is hard at work to buy time for the leaders of Mujahedin to keep members in Iraq and at the same time make Iraqi government accountable for the insecurity and sufferings of the TTL residents.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization's Propaganda System

Behind the scene of Al Arabiya interview with Maryam Rajavi

The MKO propaganda is boasting of Al Arabiya’s recent interview with Maryam Rajavi. The alleged interview with Maryam Rajavi; the leader of the destructive cult of MKO or the self-claimed president of the so-called National Council of Resistance demonstrates dreams of the Cult leaders for “the future of Iran”

Regarding that the group hardly ever enjoys public support among Iranians – and this is not unknown to the world mass media, journalists and politicians – why Al Arabiya gives credit to the cult leader to consider her “to discuss the situation in the Middle East”?!

Batoul Soltani, former member of the MKO – whose revelations about Rajavi’s sexual deviations have been widely focused by the group critics – seems to know the reason. When she was a member of the MKO’s elite Council, she used to work in the computer unit of Camp Ashraf.  

“This TV Channel was funded by the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO) after the fall of Saddam Hussein. Its authorities and staff regularly used to come to camp Ashraf so as the logo and website of Al Arabiya was designated and programmed by the computer unit of the MKO in Camp Ashraf. It was a gift to Al Arabiya News Network”,Soltani explained.

As the defector of the MKO states, the MKO formed “Iraqi Militia” immediately after the collapse of Iraqi Baath regime in order to infiltrate in the Iraqi society to prolong the survival of its cult, the group propaganda made efforts to absorb Iraqi political figures.

The cult of Rajavi spends huge amounts to fund Iraqi tribes or to run campaign for candidates of certain parties including Al Araqia.

“They forge fake signatories who allegedly support the MKO in return they pay millions of dollars”,Batoul writes.” They recruit employees and lawyers to lobby for the group in Iraqi politics.”

About the so-called interview with Al Arabiya, Batoul Soltani notes,” considering that today the cult of Rajavi is more hated and disgraced for its alliance with the ISIS, the cult has resorted to Al Arabiya TV in order to gloss over its scandalized situation among Iraqi nation.”

In her opinion the interview was just a masquerade show for Maryam Rajavi to deny their cooperation with the ISIS.
