RTSH Interview with Nejat Society Albania’s media manager

The Albanian Radio and Television (RTSH) interviewed Aldo Sulollari. The morning show hosted by Angelo Shkreli, received the journalist Aldo Sulollari to talk about his latest projects.

The interview went on with a lot of humor but also spicy moments about the media and social projects that the journalist Aldo Sulollari has recently promoted to the Albanian public.

In some parts, it has been talked about the lifestyle of the famous journalist in the United States of America, but also a return to do media projects in the national media in Albania.
A very interesting point of this interview was Aldo’s professional anniversary, which this year marks 10 years of being part of the Albanian media, explaining that his professional life is constantly divided between the Albanian media and the focus on American platforms.

When asked by the host about his social engagements, he explained that when social activities are centered on an individual, this initiative becomes very significant for the life of this person, but also for the community to whom these social activities are transmitted, but when these activities come from outside the country, they become more solid and important, but also very interesting for the Albanian public.

Aldo explains that he has been part of a social project of Nejat Society Albania for more than 2 years now. Aldo Sulollari explains about the project:
“We are creating everything from scratch, based on every normative legal provision. Nejat in Albania, which is known in Albanian as the “rescue” Society, as the name itself is directly twinned with the founding society located in Iran, which was created by mothers whose children are in the Mujahedin-e Khalq organization known as the MEK camp.

We were in another association with another logo, but the interest was to show in the most direct way that now is the time to save those Iranians locked in that camp and to show that life is beautiful and must be lived. In Iran, we are in the year 1403, while we are in 2024 here, and it is a pity to discuss that there are still such false democracies, where the family according to the MEK is the enemy and you should not communicate with it.

In the MEK organization, all human rights are violated, and moreover, they came to Albania with a humanitarian shelter status, where according to the law, by the Albanian institutions, that camp must be monitored to understand that there are many legal violations and the people are not living free.

There are many mothers who mourn every day for the fate of their children, who have joined a camp, to go to a European country for material benefits, promising that they will have a life with democratic principles, but they’ve been stuck there for years.”

Journalists asked Sulollari for more details about the projects of Nejat Society and how it operates in Albania for its members who have left the mujahedin-e Khalq:

Aldo Sulollari answered:
“I met them by chance, as you invited me to the show tonight, I went as a journalist 2 years ago for an interview, and since that day, they have become part of my professional and personal life. A boy named Mehdi, who spoke my language very well, made me understand that these people have come here to integrate, to get a job, create their families and live life from scratch. As before, and now we are creating activities grand and modest, all kinds of activities, we try to give our best, with a team of Iranians and a team of Albanians, united together, with the support of Albanian institutions, we are giving our best every day to integrate this community in our country, but also to bring the voice of parents in Iran, for whom they suffer every day the fate of not being able to contact with their children who are in Camp Ashraf3.

If you allow me, I want to say hello to a member of the Nejat association, who was previously a nurse, doctor, dentist, and when he came to our society, he even became a writer, writing his life story, leaving his mark through literature. Khalil Ansarian, an artist at heart, who loves life, work, and even his Albanian partner. He has told every detail of his life in the MEK organization, in his book.

Inspired by this, now the Nejat Society has made it possible for the Albanian public through 3 other Albanian writers, to bring to the Albanian readers 3 new publications which are different from each other, but with a single mission to leave a witness generation for this history that has been marked in the lives of these members and to make possible and transmit the voice of mothers in Iran.”

Furthermore, during the interview, there were many jokes, where the host of the program was sneezing, and Aldo asked him if he was allergic to the Mujahedin-e Khalq organization.
In this interview and Aldo’s statements, there was also the expectation for the near future to create a media program in the Albanian media this time, to be closer to the Albanian public.

The interview was closed with a great message for Albanian citizens and also for Albanian institutions.

The cult of Rajavi

The day my brother became a Mujahed martyr!

Exactly 13 years ago I started the day with terrible news.

In recent years I have begun to wonder what my friend who delivered the news was really thinking? How she felt when she decided to call me in the morning to “send her condolences” without first finding out if I was even aware of my loss.

Of course, she was (and is) a member of the cult. A cult that lives on sensationalism and propaganda of martyrs.

My older brother had become a” martyr” just hours before. In the hands of the sect. The witnesses I spoke to afterwards, without knowing what I suspected and experienced from a distance, confirmed it exactly as I thought. That my brother was ordered to run toward the shotguns to die. Who else films an unprotected, unarmed and terrified person his last seconds before getting brutally killed and puts it on YouTube?

In the promotion of the People’s Mujahedin sect, anything is done to get the attention of the outside world. ANYTHING.

13 years ago I had already taken a distance to mujahedin but, like most others even to this day, I had chosen silence. Chosen to just withdraw quietly and live my life in peace.
Today, I know that that friend who called me didn’t give a damn about my brother’s death or about me. She only cared about being the first to call so that she could post on Facebook with her back free, blaming my brothers murder on the Iranian regime and boasting about the Mujahedin as the answer to freedom and justice.
Without any thought about what shock she left me to deal with after we hung up.

Childhood trauma of a former MEK Child-Soldier

Childhood trauma happens when children are exposed to distressing or emotionally painful events. This can include events like actual or threatened death, serious injury, or sexual violence. Childhood trauma not only occurs when a child experiences an event themselves but also when a child is exposed to traumatic events. The children of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) have experienced childhood traumas in different ways but not many of them could dare to open up about it. Atefeh Sebdani is one of about one thousand children of Mujahed parents who has recently begun revealing her childhood traumas under the rule of the MEK.

The only way you can begin healing is to acknowledge that a traumatic event did occur and that you were not responsible for it. Atefeh and a few of other children of the MEK, who started talking about their childhood in public, have gone through a lot to heal their inner child, with great strength and courage.
Atefe Sabdani, who is a Swedish blogger today, publishes notes on her social media accounts after each stage of self-disclosure through her films, interviews or book, which shows the path she takes to reveal the truth and heal herself every day. It seems that every time it becomes less difficult for her, although this road is rocky and full of obstacles that the MEK agents always create.

This time, after the release of the “Cult and Loss” episode about the life of Atefeh Sebdani from Sweden’s Channel One SVT Story, Atefeh talks about the difficulty of revealing the emotional and psychological aspects of her life and the strength and courage she feels inside.
In the episode that was aired about Atefeh’s traumatic childhood, an impressive scene of meeting her mother after 25 years of separation is shown. According to Atefeh, this was one of the most difficult times in her life to show that scene.

In her Facebook account, Atefeh writes about her loyalty to the truth in narrating her life story and about the strength that grows in her day by day:

“You are so brave!”
“You are so strong!”

Words I often get to me. But I don’t know if it’s about courage and strength. For me it has always been about two things:
Stick to the truth, never splice, never exaggerate.

Because no one can hold one for a single millimeter then. My credibility has always been important. I’d rather withhold details and tell a milder version than the other way around.
Go just a little outside my comfort. So it feels tough to do but is still doable.

That way, I stretch my ability with small steps all the time. Every small step taken becomes a bigger and bigger step. The challenges are stretched.

This week’s episode on Story was among the more difficult I’ve done. For those who have seen it, I still don’t think you understand how tough the scene with my mother was, even worse to show – precisely because I don’t think you understand what a terrible situation it was. It’s the worst thing I’ve ever been through and I don’t think anyone who’s been through something like this can ever imagine what it means. But more on that another time.

That was the thing about courage and strength.
After SVT Story, I will be able to handle even more difficult things.
Have you seen the episode on SVT story? What did you think?
And how do you express your courage and your strength?

Former members of the MEK

Atefeh Sebdani| The book. The documentary. And now the Episode

This is going to sound weird but I have to say it anyway.
There is not a cell in my body that longs for my episode to be broadcast next week on SVT.
On the contrary, I am filled with anxiety and feel extremely bad about it.
It has nothing to do with the amazing production or the end result. It just has to do with me giving so much of myself while the mujahedin sect continues to witch hunt and watch over me.
By choosing
.the freedom of speech
.the truth
.my constant inner call for justice
.my hope for a better world
… and thus following my values and beliefs, I have put myself at the front of a merciless arsenal of foot and internet soldiers. An organized movement that is so afraid of their illegal whereabouts and therefore existence being disrupted that they keep their own members captivated (at Camp Ashraf) and only a few manage to escape (like my mother) to freedom. You don’t even know the tip of the iceberg about what they are up to.
Cause very few of those who manage to escape dare to talk about them. Yes, not even my mother dares. She refuses to appear in any of my work, none of the documentaries or anything else I do. Even though the mujahedin took her children, her freedom and with that everything from her.
And I?
I get to experience day after day how boundless and organized the Mujahedin are.
So why am I doing a work with SVT?
Because my message is not about me. There is no personal gain whatsoever in this. On the contrary. My family and other ex-mujaheds I talk to are witnesses to how I feel these days before the launch of SVT Story.
I’m feeling like shit, frankly.
But my calling is not about me and never has been. It is bigger than me and I am just a tool that has been given opportunities to manage and exploit an untold story.
The book. The documentary. And now the Episode.
No matter my personal feelings, I’m never going to cave in against my values. Against Goliath.
I saved my mother. I did the hardest part already. But so many are left and don’t have a voice to scream for help.

Atefeh Sebdani’s Episode on SVT Story, Swedish Channel One

Channel One of Swedish TV broadcasts a documentary about the life of Atefeh Sebdani. Atefeh Sebdani is one of the children of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) who was separated from her parents at the age of 5 and was smuggled from Iraq to Sweden with her two younger brothers.
On April 3, SVT story of Sweden’s Channel One will release this 29-minute documentary on the life of Atefeh Sebdani, titled “The Moment That Changed Life”.
Atefeh and her brothers are separated from their parents in a military camp in Iraq. They are sent to Sweden and raised within the Mujahedin. She waits for her mother for days, weeks, months and years. Difficult years. Gradually she realizes that mother will not come. But then suddenly one day 25 years later she gets an unexpected sign of life. This is author Atefeh’s story.

Atefeh Sebdani, who is now a Swedish citizen, is married and the mother of three children. She is a successful engineer and lecturer who published his autobiography titled “My Hands in Mine” last summer and was well received by the audience. The book depicts a part of severe violation of children’s rights in the cult-like structure of the MEK and its sympathizer families.

Atefeh is also one of the 4 young people whose life story was shown in the recent documentary “Children of Camp Ashraf” made by Sara Moin in Swedish.
A few hours before the release of the episode, publishing its trailer Atefeh Sebdani wrote on her Facebook account about her fears, her concerns and the obstructions the MEK tried to launch in the way of the production of the episode:

Here’s the trailer for my episode that airs tomorrow on SVT Story.
It feels really hard for me to post this tonight and I will await the response before writing more than this post. If you want to send me your thoughts afterwards, please do so here in the comments.

As you can see, the title of the episode has changed. The cult did as the cult always does- acts like a cult. Monitors me and every step I take and communicates with the productions around me to gain control over the smallest detail. They will definitely get in touch with SVT after the episode premieres tomorrow and come up with new things to complain on.
As I warned SVT about during production.

Mujahedin continues to prove who they are: a controlling, authoritarian group that will do anything to preserve the last dignity they have and silence us defectors as much as possible. It’s just that they don’t realize that people who have to deal with them instead get to experience first-hand the things that I testify.

Thank you Mujahedin for never letting me down in that regard! Thanks for all the self goals! Bravo! You continue to confirm to the public exactly everything I tell about your cult.

Now I’ll take a deep breath. Cause tomorrow the whole world(!) will be able to watch my Story. Welcome to share this and inform, to keep showing your fantastic support. This, even though it feels so hard for me to expose myself like this. But now that it’s done, please help me to reach out.
I love and appreciate you all.

Albania

What we expect from the Albanian government?

More than 7 years have passed since September 2015, when the relocation of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) from Iraq to Albania was completed. The group has been settled in the territory of a European country, Albania, which is one of the signatories of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). But they still behave as if they are under the umbrella of the former dictator of Iraq, Saddam Hussein; The MEK apply their cult-like mind control system over members; they do not allow their members to decide with their own free will.

For nearly eight years, the leaders of the MEK cult have deprived the members of their basic human rights in Europe as well, and instead of allowing the members to contact and communicate with their families, they have brainwashed them.

Why should the members of the MEK in Albania be so enslaved and trapped by the cult leaders that they cannot freely choose a profitable job for themselves like any other refugee in the country. The Rajavis should stop forcing defectors to spy other defectors by threatening them.

Why shouldn’t the members have the right to marry and live independently after being in Albania for about 8 years? They should be given the opportunity to live a normal life, get married and have children.

Why can’t the media activists freely go inside the Manez camp in Albania, so that the voices of the dissident members can be heard. With the withdrawal of cult-like control over members, the truth of inside the camp will be known to public and the government of Albania.

Why should the sick members be kept under the control of the MEK inside the Manez camp like slaves”? They are deprived of medical, medicinal and convalescent needs. Eventually, some of
them die or come close to death every day.

Undoubtedly, if the Albanian government had prevented the leaders of the MEK from continuing their cult-like and violent actions in its country, the death rate in this cult would have been significantly reduced. If the Albanian government had proper control over the Cult of Rajavi, many members who died due to diseases would be alive now.

Why does the Albanian government allow the leaders of a destructive cult, who boast of their violent and terrorist actions and incite people to violent acts, to continue this propaganda?

Didn’t the government of Albania notice how the leaders of the MEK led their members to clash with the police on June 30th, 2023?

Isn’t the experience of the MEK conflicts with different Iraqi governments after the overthrow of Saddam Hussein and their experience of conflict with the Albanian police not enough for the government of this country to realize that the group is violent in nature.

The government of Albania must pave the way to remove cult-like regulations from the isolated Manez camp and instead, the law governing the country of Albania should be applied in the camp. This is the minimum expectation that the families of MEK members have from the Albanian government and it is the minimum that the Albanian government should as the consequence of hosting the group.

As Iranians, it is our tradition to visit each other during Nowruz and spend the New Year with our closest relatives. I hope the government of Albania fulfills this minimum request of the families, which is to visit their beloved children, and allow the families of the members taken as hostages in the Cult of Rajavi to have the opportunity to contact and meet their children freely.

Mujahedin Khalq; A proxy force

MEK and Democratic Values

When a group is backed by AIPAC and FDD, consequently, logic, justice and humanity and transparency will disappear. A resolution introduced this week by Senator Thom Tillis, an American Republican from North Carolina, is the latest effort by a group of well-funded members of Congress to extend political recognition to the Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MEK).

The most hilarious part of the resolution is the claim that the MEK will establish a “democratic and secular” government in Iran. The claim for democracy and secularism is definitely contrary to those hundreds of women in uniforms with monochrome hijab chanting around Maryam Rajavi, that reminds us of the Maoist China and North Korea.

As the self-appointed alternative of the Iranian government, the MEK is a cult of personality, settled in a remote, isolated camp in Albania. Its members are a few thousand of elderlies who are kept there against their will. Throughout the past few years, they either could manage to leave the group or passed away inside the camp.

The independent has been the only media to cover the news of the resolution signed by MEK-paid senators. However, it mentioned that the MEK is still considered as undemocratic by the US State Department:
“It’s the latest — and most direct, in recent memory — bipartisan show in support for the MEK and NCRI by lawmakers that will once again put them at odds with the views of the State Department, which has an adversarial relationship with the dissidents. Since the MEK’s un-designation as a terrorist group by the US government in 2012, the State Department has steadily maintained that it does not view the MEK and NCRI as “viable opposition” groups in Iran and have questioned their commitment to democratic values.”

The MEK lacks public support among Iranians. The most iconic slogan of the Iranian protesters has been “Women, Life, Freedom”. The MEK has hijacked the slogan and changed it to “Women, Resistance, Freedom”. They just deleted “life” because they do not believe in life. In the Cult of Rajavi, thinking of life is forbidden.

Mujahedin Khalq; A proxy force

MKO terrorists to hold annual gathering in Germany as France refuses to host event

Former US vice president Mike Pence (L) and Maryam Rajavi, ringleader of the anti-Iran terrorist Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO), meet in the Albanian town of Manza, on June 23, 2022. (Photo by AFP)

The anti-Iran terrorist Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) is set to hold its annual gathering in Germany as France has refused to grant approval for the meeting.

Every year, the MKO terrorists hold an event in the French town of Villepinte, near Paris, with rent-a-crowd participants.

This year, however, they will hold their gathering in Berlin on June 29.

Reports say France has opposed the event as it plays host to the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris later this year.

The Summer Olympics will kick off in the French capital on July 26. The games will end on August 11 before the Paralympic Games take place on August 28-September 8.

The MKO is responsible for a campaign of bombings and assassinations in Iran. Out of the nearly 17,000 Iranians killed in terrorist attacks over the past four decades, about 12,000 have fallen victim to the MKO’s acts of terror.

The notorious terror cult also fought alongside Iraqi forces in the former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein’s war on Iran in the 1980s.

Despite its crimes and killings, the US and the European Union removed the MKO from their lists of terrorist organizations in order to use them as proxies against Iran.

Members of the terrorist group Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization or MKO are standing trial in absentia.

A few years ago, MKO elements were relocated from their Camp Ashraf in Iraq’s Diyala Province to Camp Hurriyet (Camp Liberty), a former US military base in Baghdad, and later sent to Albania.

Iranian officials have condemned the hypocrisy of the US and its European allies in supporting the terrorist group that has Iranian blood on its hands.

The cult of Rajavi

Modern slavery in Europe on the verge of the second quarter of the 21st century

Currently, nearly 2000 members of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK, MKO, Rajavi Cult) have been settled in an isolated and remote camp near Manëz or Manzë city in Durrës province for about 7 years. They consider themselves to be the alternative of the Islamic Republic of Iran and want to overthrow the current Iranian regime by resorting to violence and bloodshed. By its own admission, this group is responsible for the lives of about 12,000 individuals in Iran.
The MEK actively participated in the Iran-Iraq war under Saddam Hussein’s rule in Iraq for many years, of course on the side of Iraq and against its own country, and also participated in many crimes against the people of Iraq, especially the Kurds in the north and the Shiites in the south.

After the fall of Saddam Hussein, the governments of Iraq one after the other wanted the exit of this organization, which they considered a threat to national security, until finally based on the agreement made with the then government of Sali Berisha (the leader of the right-wing Democratic Party of Albania). This organization was transferred to Albania with all its members as a humanitarian measure and settled in an isolated and remote camp near the city of Manëz in Durrës province.
What was narrated above is related to the recent and distant past and is not the subject of this article. Our current issue is a completely human rights matter. In addition to everything that has been said, the MEK violates the most basic human rights of its members on a daily and systematic basis. This is our issue today. It can be boldly said that there is no outside control over the internal anti-human relations of this camp in Albania, and practically modern slavery has been exposed in Europe on the threshold of the second quarter of the 21st century, and the Albanian government either does not want or cannot take action, to stop this process.

Mrs. Ela Deda, a criminologist and the legal director of the Nejat Society of Albania, in her speech at the women’s conference of the Nejat Society of Albania on the occasion of International Women’s Day on Friday, March 8, 2024, at Villa Nejat Hall in Tirana, stated:

The European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) (official name: Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms) is an international instrument for the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms. This convention was prepared in 1950 by the Council of Europe. It is mentioned in this convention that:

Article 2 – Right to life (Article 2 protects the right to life of every person).

Article 3 – Prohibition of Torture (Article 3 prohibits torture and inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, and there are no exceptions or limitations to this right.)

Article 5 – Right to liberty and security (Article 5 stipulates that everyone has the right to liberty and personal security.)

Article 8 – Right to respect for private and family life (Article 8 stipulates the right to respect private and family life.)

Article 10 – Freedom of expression (Article 10 protects freedom of expression limited only by “lawful” restrictions that are “necessary in a democratic society.” This right also includes freedom of thought.)

Article 12 – The right to marry (Article 12 states the right to marry and form a family for adult women and men [1]).
Meanwhile, the Republic of Albania wants to enter the European Union and is trying to align itself with the European legal and judicial standards. It is worth mentioning that this convention is approved by the Council of Europe and the Republic of Albania, as a member of the Council of Europe, is one of the signatories of this convention [2].
Now we will discuss some provisions of the European Convention on Human Rights and its examples in the Manëz camp in Albania:

Article 2 – Right to life

The MEK in Albania does not pay the least attention to the health of its members in terms of medical and health care, and the deaths that are constantly reported indicate this lack of care. It does not mean that treatment facilities are not available, but the MEK has deprived people of free access to these facilities. Many reports have been received that there is a lot of delay in bringing people to doctors and hospitals in Durrës or Tirana due to the fear of dissatisfied people running away. MEK members cannot easily leave the camp and go to medical centers in Albania.

Article 3 – Prohibition of torture

Former members of the MEK have reported systematic acts of psychological and physical repression in the inquisition meetings, as well as insults, humiliation, slander, and even physical encounters for forced coercion in the Manëz camp in Albania. The psychological destruction of the members has sometimes led them to the border of insanity, and currently there are many mental cases inside the camp that are kept in complete isolation. Inhumane and humiliating treatment is a common practice in the MEK in Albania to destroy people’s psychological defense so that they can take away the ability to say “no” from them so that they always give a positive answer to any illegitimate request.

Article 5 – Right to liberty and security

No member of the MEK in Albania feels safe and is always afraid of being targeted for repression and punishment, without reason. In the MEK, there are no written rules and regulations that can be cited, on which a person can be accused and punished, but the discernment of the leaders at any time is considered as law and regulation. It has been officially announced that the wishes of the organization’s leadership at any time are considered the law of that time.

Article 8 – Right to respect for private and family life

No one in the Manëz camp of the MEK in Albania has any privacy whatsoever. The MEK has invalidated and prohibited any kind of privacy based on its cultic doctrine. Based on the brainwashing that takes place, people are even obliged to report their night’s sleep and pay for it. Free thinking is rejected under the title of mental wandering or intellectual liberalism.

Article 10 – Freedom of expression

People in the Manëz camp do not have the right to disagree or even question the performance of the organization and its leadership. The MEK in Albania has a cultic pyramid structure with the leader at the top of the pyramid. Criticism is allowed only from top to bottom, and towards oneself in front of the official. No question is answered by logical discussion but psychological repression is done to silence the person. All methods of forced coercion are constantly used.

Article 12 – The right to marry

The right to fall in love, get married, form a family, and have children in the camp of the MEK in Albania does not exist at all. Forced celibacy, which is an anti-human imposition, is applied within the relations of the MEK in Albania. In the Manëz camp, gender segregation is implemented in the most severe possible way. There are no families or children in this camp. The family is called a nest of corruption. The main enemy of everyone is considered to be his family.
All of the above and many more clearly prove that destructive cultic mind control methods are practiced inside the remote and isolated Manëz camp. According to the laws and regulations in European countries, brainwashing and mind control and the impositions carried out in this camp are crimes, but the Albanian police and judicial system have closed their eyes on these cases for years.

All human rights organizations should demand that the gates of this mysterious camp with medieval connections be opened to the media, government officials and human rights investigators to find out what is going on inside this terrible fortress. Many former members inside and outside Albania are ready to testify at any place and at any time to provide details of this blatant violation of the most basic human rights of the members.

The fact that the MEK has been able to force people to voluntarily give up their human rights, by using mind control methods over time in its cultic base, does not fundamentally change anything, and the responsibility lies with the human rights institutions. Humanity does not accept this, because in practice what is really happening is that still the most basic human rights are violated, and this situation must be terminated immediately. If a person does not demand his rights due to mind control and brainwashing methods in an isolated environment and even volunteers for brutal mental and physical torture, should the torturer be allowed for doing it?

1- The European Convention on Human Rights, (official: Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms), is an international treaty for the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms in Europe, which was drafted in 1950 by the New Foundation prepared by the Council of Europe, and entered into force on September 3, 1953.

This convention has 59 articles and 16 additional protocols, in each clause of which there are many examples from within the organization, which are enough to condemn the MEK for violating basic human rights.

2- The Council of Europe (It is different from the European Union and should not be mistaken) has 46 members from European countries, including Albania. Albania is one of the countries that has signed the European Convention on Human Rights and is committed to its implementation.
