Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

Warning of the CEO of the Iran Nejat Society regarding the conspiracy to assassinate former members

Letter to the American Ambassador in Tirana

Following the recent events in Albania and especially the fabrication of lies in some of the country’s media against the ASILA, the CEO of the Iran Nejat Society wrote a letter to the American ambassador in Tirana on behalf of the concerned families and warned about the terrorist conspiracy of the MEK in Albania against former members in this country.

The text of the letter, which was sent to the Albanian and European authorities as well as the media, is as follows:

Honorable Ambassador of the United States in Tirana
Your Excellency Ms. Yuri Kim

Greetings and respect,
The United States Embassy in Albania issued a security alert on July 21, 2022, ahead of the gathering of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK) scheduled to take place in Manëz in Durrës on July 23-24. The embassy announced that there is a possible threat that may target the event and asked American citizens to avoid attending the gathering.

Of course, the American embassy and none of the American or non-American officials never clarified the nature of this potential threat, but the MEK immediately took advantage of this issue and pointed the finger of accusation at the former members of this organization. That is, those who no longer want to be terrorists and don’t want to live a cultic life and are separated from this organization and are busy with their normal life in Tirana. Leaving the organization is considered the highest guilt and sin one can commit in the cultic organization of the MEK, which the person deserves death.

During the past two months, the MEK has launched a wide propaganda against the Association for the Support of Iranians Living in Albania (ASILA) and its Albanian members and repeatedly accuses them of being terrorists. Unfortunately, some Albanian media knowingly or unknowingly fuel this atmosphere and actually put these people in serious danger.

On July 14, 2022, the Special Anti-Corruption Structure (SPAK) in Albania, based on a court order, inspected the workplaces and residences of ASILA members and took some of them to the police department to provide some explanations, and they were released the same day. Finally, in the police report that was given to ASILA, it is stated that no illegal items were found in the inspection of places, cars and equipment. Later it became clear that this action was carried out under provocations and false information from the MEK in Albania.
Unfortunately, some media under the influence of the MEK in Albania presented an image that a terrorist cell linked to the Islamic Republic of Iran was discovered, whose target was the MEK, and never mentioned the police report that no illegal cases were found.

Also, the entry of a number of former members of the MEK who were going to Tirana to participate in the wedding ceremony of another former member in Albania on Friday, July 29, 2022, was prevented by the Albanian police under the pretext of security threats from the MEK.

Two German citizens, Ms. Batul Soltani and Mr. Afshin Kalantari, refused to return to their country for 72 hours at the Tirana airport and demanded an explanation for this prevention. The German embassy also intervened and the Albanian police explained to the envoy of the German embassy that since the members of the MEK have appeared at the airport and threatened these people, they fear for their lives, and therefore for their own safety, it is better for them to return. They returned voluntarily.

But the propaganda machine of MEK, with the help of some ignorant or corrupt media in Albania, presented an image that two terrorists were arrested at Tirana airport, whose target was MEK, and were detained and interrogated for 72 hours and then deported, which was completely false.
In the third case, the members of ASILA participated in the book exhibition of Durrës in Hotel Arvi and presented 5 volumes of this association’s publications in Albanian language as well as posters to introduce the attractions of Iran with official permission. Qur’an, the holy book of the Muslims who make up the majority of the population of Albania, the poems of Omar Khayyam, the famous Iranian poet, the book “Karbala” written by Naim Frashëri, a famous Albanian poet and writer, a collection of poems by old Iranian poets, and the memoirs of Rahman Mohammadian, a former member of the MEK.

The agents of the MEK, as it is clear in the published videos, attacked this book stand and its curators with rude words and destroyed it. In order to avoid conflict, ASILA authorities moved their stall to the nearby park under the protection of the police, where the elements of the MEK attacked the book stall with more intensity, even in front of the police, as seen in the videos, and the books, including the Qu’ran, were destroyed. And they tore the posters and even damaged and insulted the Albanian national flag, as a result of which 11 of them were arrested.
However, some current Albanian media, whose honesty and ignorance can no longer be trusted, presented an image as if the members of ASILA, who have no support in Albania, had a plan to assassinate members of the MEK in Manëz on behalf of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

It has become clear to everyone that the MEK in Albania engages in illegal activities such as arms, drugs, and human trafficking, as well as money laundering, etc., but unfortunately, it is said that since this organization has the support of the American Embassy in Tirana it can easily escape from trial and execution of justice and continue his illegal actions. Cases such as even murders in the isolated and remote camp of this organization, which the Albanian government has no control over, have been reported. Unfortunately, after a while, the Albanian police kept all the cases silent and stopped the investigation.

The actions of the MEK against the Association for the Support of Iranians Living in Albania (ASILA) started with legal cover-ups and continued by preventing the former members from entering and finally attacking their book stall. The continuation of this propaganda process will lead to the assassination of Albanian and non-Albanian members of ASILA.

The fact is that the MEK, according to the reports of those who managed to escape, is involved in severe internal crises, and now hundreds of people want to separate, and these people see ASILA as a point of hope for their liberation, and Maryam Rajavi’s meetings with the likes of Mike Pompeo and Mike Pence has not been able to calm down and convince the people with problems, and therefore, based on its terrorist nature, this organization will find the solution to physically eliminate ASILA officials.

It is very clear that the propaganda of the last two months is to smooth the terror plans, so that if there is an assassination attempt, based on the mentality that has been built during this time, it will be said that the terrorist agents of the Islamic Republic were killed during an operation.

On behalf of the extremely concerned families in Iran, I request you, as a person who is known to have influence in Albania, to use all your capacities in this country and not allow a number of helpless Iranians along with some benefactor Albanians who support them, become victims of a terrorist cult.
I am eagerly awaiting your response

Sincerely Yours,
Ebrahim Khodabandeh
CEO of Iran Nejat Society

Mujahedin Khalq; A proxy force

Michal Rubin: the MEK is at best, a creepy cult; at worst, a terrorist group

The American journalist, Michael Rubin warns about the US strategy to support the Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK/ MKO/ Cult of Rajavi). He discusses three Iran strategies taken by the US that are guaranteed to fail. One is supporting the MEK which according to him at best is a creepy cult; at worst, it is a terrorist group.

Rubin who is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and a contributor to the Washington Examiner and Commentary Magazine, is a critic of the Iranian government but he is also an opponent to any policy based on embracing the MEK and ethnic separatist groups. He has already written several articles to warn western politicians about the MEK’s cult-like terrorist background. In his recent article on the Washington Examiner, on August 4th, 2022, Rubin asserts about the MEK, “What it is not and has never been is popular or democratic.”

On the MEK’s alleged part to expose the Iranian nuclear program Rubin writes, “That the group sometimes reveals intelligence is no metric of its influence or infiltration within the Iranian system. First, its intelligence is often wrong. Second, even when right, it simply represents how the Israelis, Saudis, or perhaps even the CIA use the group to launder information to the public so that the real fingerprints of those who gathered it are not exposed.”

About a year ago, Rubin condemned the American politicians who spoke in Maryam Rajavi’s annual gathering. He titled his article by this statement: “The Mujahedin-e-Khalq has become a barometer of Washington corruption.” He denounced a number of American retired authorities who advocate the MEK in exchange for “Five and six-figure honoraria and speakers’ fees.”

He accurately argued that corruption of the MEK’s paid speakers is obvious because “In reality, its leaders Masoud and Maryam Rajavi rule with an iron fist. It runs as a cult with its rank-and-file cut off from their families and the broader society.”

“Claims about high support inside Iran are fiction”, Rubin emphasized. “Many resent the MKO’s terrorism that as often killed innocent Iranians as the regime officials they targeted. More despise the group for siding with Iraq during the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq War.”

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

Belgium decides to break free from the MEK terrorist group

In recent days, the annual meeting of the Mujahedin-e Khalq terrorist group has been canceled for reasons that have been listed as security concerns. In Belgium, with a courageous and humanitarian act, the country’s parliament approved with Iran the plan for the extradition of political prisoners, which allows the Iranian diplomat Assadollah Asadi, detained in violation of international law, to return to his country. As you know, Iran’s friendly and economic relations with Belgium date back centuries and Belgium has shown that it does not want to interrupt its long-term relations with the Islamic Republic due to a terrorist group that was on the list until 2012. American Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO). For this reason, now the MEK, which sees itself in danger of disintegration, it is trying to organize rallies and meetings with the presence of its members in Sweden, Germany and other countries, renting Afghan and Syrian citizens with promises of free food and tourism.

Belgium decides to break free from the MEK terrorist group

As you know, according to the report of the American RAND Institute, this terrorist group has no social status and 97% of Iranians hate it. According to American experts, the MEK will not have a political future in Iran, so the support of some retired former politicians has served to get huge sums of money from this group; with these actions, these people are in fact violating the principle of human rights, because the money that is paid to this terrorist group comes from the taxes that the Albanian people pay and, in this case, not long ago we witnessed the protests of the very people Albanian, who asked why his taxes are ending up in the pockets of the MEK terrorist group and asked for the Albanian government’s financial support for this group to be cut. In the same matter, the US Embassy in Albania announced in a Twitter post its support for this terrorist group and Albanian citizens wrote their opposition in the comments, asking not to support this group anymore. In this regard, we interviewed Olsi Jazexhi, Canadian-Albanian journalist and university professor, on financial issues and the nature of this terrorist group. the US embassy in Albania announced in a Twitter post its support for this terrorist group and Albanian citizens wrote their opposition in the comments, asking not to support this group anymore.

Olsi Jazexhi

1) Can you assess the nature of the Mujahedin-e Khalq group and how did you get to know this group?

A) I am a scholar of Islam who in recent years has studied and analyzed the creation and radicalization of Muslim extremist groups in the West by Western governments and their Arab allies, and their misuse against the Muslim world. Before exploring the extremist nature of the MEK, I dealt with other terrorist groups such as ISIS / DAESH, Jabhat al-Nusra, Wahhabi extremists etc. Albania, where I come from, has produced a large number of foreign Takfiri / Wahabi fighters who have been sent by Saudi and other Wahhabi networks to Syria to wage a terrorist war against the Syrian and Iraqi governments. The first MEK terrorist group arrived in Albania in 2013,

2) To what extent are the Albanian people, including public opinion and the elite community of this country, aware of the history and current situation of this group? What do these two groups of Albanians think about the presence of MEK members in their country?

A) When the MEK was moved en masse to Albania in 2016, most Albanian politicians and the public were shocked by its presence. Many media articles, public debates, protests and police reports have revealed the strange and criminal nature of the MEK. Albanians protested against the insidious arrival of the MEK in their country and many blamed the regime of Prime Minister Edi Rama for bringing a terrorist group into the country. The Albanians, horrified by the crimes of DAESH and Jahbat al Nusra in Syria and Iraq, resented the presence of the MEK and asked for their deportation to another country. However, since 2019 the MEK has managed to silence the voices of dissent in Albania. Spending millions of dollars on propaganda and blackmail, he managed to silence most of the media and journalists. The US embassy in Tirana and the Trump administration blackmailed Albanian politicians, parliamentarians and security services to stop their refusal and investigations into the MEK’s activities in the country. As a result, since 2019 no Albanian public official or media dares to report any crime or terrorist activity that the MEK carries out inside and outside Albania. Journalists or security officials who dare to talk about the MEK are sidelined and punished. since 2019 no Albanian public official or media dares to report any crime or terrorist activity that the MEK carries out inside and outside Albania.

Journalists or security officials who dare to talk about the MEK are sidelined and punished.

3) According to the MEK, this group aspires to build the so-called “free Iran”. Can you explain the situation of the freedom of the members of this group and how the group meets with the Albanian press community?

A) The MEK is a sect. It is directed by a woman, Maryam Rajavi. Due to her advanced age and her criminal past, Rajavi seems to have lost her mind and is out of touch. The MEK operates as a terrorist and cult paramilitary organization. It has no internal democracy, no free elections. Its members are locked up in the organization’s paramilitary camp in Manza, Durres, Albania. They do not have the freedom to marry, to develop their ideas, to have contact with their families. Rajavi and her leadership have created an army of radicalized lunatics whose dream is to assassinate any Iranian who does not obey the Rajavi cult. The MEK hates democracy and the press. They never allow reporters to interview their members or question the strange nature of the cult. The MEK only does monologues with the media. Whenever they break news to the press, they want the press to accept their version of the news without questioning its veracity. The MEK’s relations with the press can be compared to the way North Korea treats the media: they beat up reporters on British Channel 4 and attacked many Western and local media. Most Iranians I know hate MEK. Iran does not need democracy. It is already a democratic state and the MEK is the last terrorist organization on the planet that can bring democracy to Iran. The military command of the MEK is a criminal organization that faces justice for the crimes it has committed against the Iranian and Iraqi people in recent decades. they want the press to accept their version of the news without questioning its veracity.

4) In your opinion, who has chosen Albania as the base and residence of the MEK group? Has the Albanian government voluntarily resettled the MEK in this country? What was the purpose?

A) The transfer of the MEK to Albania was an American decision. After invading Iraq and defeating Saddam Hussein’s Baathist regime, the MEK betrayed its master Saddam and offered itself to the Americans and their Zionist agenda in the Middle East. However, the Americans could not guarantee the security of the MEK in post-Saddam Iraq, as many Iraqis wanted to see the MEK face justice for the crimes committed against the Iraqi people. Americans have been desperately trying to find a country to host the MEK. They asked Romanians, Bulgarians and Macedonians, but all these governments refused. Finally, they asked to host them under the Edi Rama regime in Albania. The current Albanian regime is completely corrupt. If you read the WikiLeaks cables, we understand how the US embassy has total control over the country, in every respect. For this reason, the MEK was imposed on Albania and its politicians could not say no. The purpose of the MEK’s transfer to Albania was to use the experience this group has in terrorism and espionage against the Islamic Republic of Iran. Since it arrived, the MEK, like DAESH or Jahbat al-Nusra before them, has become the simple soldier of Zionism against political Islam. They work on behalf of the United States and Israel in their global war against the Arab and Muslim world.

5) Each year, the group spends an impressive amount of money on glamorous but almost audience-free ceremonies. Do you know the source of these expenses? What is the purpose of organizing such a ceremony for a group whose name has been on the list of foreign terrorist organizations in the European Union and the United States for years?

A) Despite being an endangered organization, the MEK is being used by the US government and Israel as a bugbear against the Islamic Republic of Iran. The strategy of the United States and Israel, after defeating and destroying the Arab nationalist and Islamist regimes of Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Egypt and Sudan, was to build an alliance between the sheikhdoms of the Arab Gulf and Israel to counteract the Political Islam in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are believed to be the main sponsors of the MEK’s operations in Albania. While the Albanian government and the Americans protect MEK donors, so far we know that the UAE is one of the main indirect sponsors of the MEK. The UAE sponsored the reconstruction of the city of Manez, where the MEK is based. On the other hand, Saudi Arabia, which sponsors a large group of Wahhabi imams in Albania, is believed to be behind Wahhabi propaganda in favor of the MEK in some Wahhabi circles. The annual meetings that the MEK organizes each July in Albania, where it invites numerous Western politicians, mostly retired, are used by Israel as a platform to build a global alliance against the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Axis of Resistance it leads. from Palestine to Yemen. The goal of the MEK and its sponsors is to blackmail Iran and force it to abandon its support for the liberation of Palestine. Most of the European and American politicians who support the MEK are diehard Zionists. They know that by supporting the MEK they are supporting Israel and its supremacy over Islam.

6) Mike Pompeo recently traveled to Albania with a security team of 80 and visited the MEK camp. The news of this meeting focuses more on the economic aspect of the issue, or on the remuneration for the interventions of former American politicians. Interestingly, Mike Pompeo also describes himself as an “unemployed politician” in his speech. What do you think of this kind of look on Pompey’s journey?

A) Well, at the moment Mike Pompeo is practically nobody in the United States. His arrival in Albania was coordinated by the Zionist lobby in the United States, interested in promoting the MEK and Maryam Rajavi as the leader of the terrorist movement against the Islamic Republic of Iran. Albanian media revealed that Pompeo was paid over $ 150,000 for his visit to the Mujahedeen camp. The Israeli lobby uses clowns like Pompeo to pressure the Biden administration against signing the nuclear deal with Iran. By promoting and sending Pompeo to visit the Mujahedeen camp, the Zionist lobby wants to show the Democrats of the United States that if you don’t follow our line, we can replace you with puppets like Pompeo.

7) What future do you foresee for the members of this group in Albania and what benefits or harm can their presence in Albania have for the people and the government of this country? Has any group that opposes the presence of these terrorist refugees in Albania taken any serious action to stop their presence in the country?

A) The MEK will probably cease to exist in 10 years. Most of its members are dying of cancer and other diseases. However, they currently pose a serious threat to democracy and law enforcement in Albania and to the security of Iran. Their activity as foreign fighters who want to violently wage a terrorist war against a foreign country is contrary to Albanian laws, its security and international obligations. Their presence in Albania, their involvement in drug and human trafficking has created a very negative image of Albania in Europe and in the world. Many European governments are concerned about their presence, but do not dare to speak out against them. Many journalists, Albanian politicians and human rights activists who in the past spoke out against the MEK are now silent. They fear for their safety because the MEK does not tolerate free speech and fights its opponents in many forms. The MEK has seriously undermined the freedom of the press, democracy and security of Albania. However, it enjoys the support of the US government and will continue its terrorist activity from Albania unhindered for the time being.

8) As you know, the MEK terrorist group has carried out many criminal actions in Albania, such as trafficking in human beings and drugs and has also broken many laws, so much so that one of them was carrying out terrorist activities against another country while he was in Albany. To what extent and under what circumstances is it possible for the government to expel a group from Albanian territory?

A) As long as Europe, Albania and the Balkans are a US protectorate, the chance of the MEK being expelled from Albania is zero. As you have seen from the current conflict in Ukraine, the United States does not allow the peoples of Europe to pursue their national interests. We in Europe live under US occupation and, for the moment, the only power that can expel the MEK from Albania is the US that governs us. Albania can save itself from the MEK only if World War III breaks out between Russia and NATO and the MEK finds the same fate as the Azov battalion in Ukraine or ISIS in Syria. But for the moment the MEK is under the protection of the United States and Israel.

Iran Pursuing Trial of Terrorist Groups

An Iranian Judiciary official made clear the country’s seriousness about putting terrorist groups on trial.
In a meeting with the families of a number of Iranian victims of assassination attacks, Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran’s deputy Judiciary chief for international affairs and secretary of the country’s High Council for Human Rights, emphasized that the Judiciary is very serious about taking action against terrorist groups and their activities.

He said the High Council for Human Rights’ top priorities in the international arena are to counter the sanctions, safeguard the rights of victims of sanctions, and bring terrorist groups to justice.

More than 17,000 Iranians, many of them civilians, have been killed at the hands of the terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO or MEK) in different acts of terrorism including bombings in public places, and targeted killings.

The MKO – listed as a terrorist organization by much of the international community – fled Iran in 1986 for Iraq and was given a camp by former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.

They fought on the side of Saddam during the Iraqi imposed war on Iran (1980-88). They were also involved in the bloody repression of Shiite Muslims in southern Iraq in 1991 and the massacre of Iraqi Kurds.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

Maryam Rajavi sends her thugs to attack a book fair in the city of Durres

Agents of Maryam Rajavi attacked a book fair in Albania. The book fair which has been set up in the garden of Hotel Arvi, Durres, Albania was attacked on 17 August 2022 by several members of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MEK/ MKO/ Cult of Rajavi). Their target was a stand run by the publication of ASILA, Association for the support of the Iranians Living in Albania.

“Maryam Rajavi has sent her #FreeIran2022 thugs in cities of Albania to attacks cultural events,” according to the Albanian news agency, Gazeta Impact. “The mujahedin attacked and threw on the ground the Quran, the book of Karbala etc. The mujahedin were later detained by Albanian police.”

Interviewing Dr. Ggergji Thanasi, the journalist, university lecturer and an Albanian member of ASILA, Euronews Albania reported, “Journalist Gjergji Thanasi was part of the incident that happened at the Summer Book Fair in Durrës on Wednesday afternoon, where a group of mujahedin protested and demanded the removal of the stand set up by him.”

Euronews Albania states that ASILA has been registered in the court as an Albanian NGO so it is a legal entity. “Having Participated in the Durrës fair, we took advantage of this opportunity for a modest stand with 5 books,” Thanasi says. “In the morning, I was drinking coffee when a group of mujahedin together with an Albanian who claimed to be the chief of security in Manza, asked me to leave.”

In the afternoon, everything was fine, the first visitors to the fair began to arrive when the MEK agents attacked the fair, with placards in their hands. They were gathered in front of the “Asila” association stand, based on Thanasi’s testimonies.

Agents of the MEK who are located in their notorious camp Ashraf 3 in Manza of Durrës, were equipped with banners demanding the closure of the Iranian stands. The coerced MEK agents turned their apparent protest into a largescale clash after they attacked the stands. Tearing the Albanian flag and ASILA posters, they threw books on the ground.

The numerous Albanian police forces prevented them from clashing with the Iranian book stand managers including some former members of the MEK. Ultimately, dozens of MEK agents were detained and escorted outside the fair in Police cars.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization members' families

Letter of Amir Parvizi’s Family to the Albanian Interior Minister

Mr. Bledar Çuçi

Minister of the Interior of the Government of the Republic of Albania

Greetings

About 2 months ago, Amir Parvizi, a member of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) decided to escape the group’s camp in Albania in order to save his life. Unfortunately, due to the cooperation of Maryam Rajavi with the Albanian police, he was forced to return to the camp against his will.

As Amir’s family, we have requested for an immediate meeting with Amir Parvizi through numerous letters that we have written to the Prime Minister and other human rights organizations of Albania. Unfortunately, no responses have been given by the Albanian government.

Amir Parvizi

You should be informed that Maryam Rajavi has created a separate monarchy in your country to dominate the internal members. This is threatening the social, political and civil security of your country. Massoud Rajavi has recently ordered his operatives in the camp known as Ashraf 3 to prevent the families of his cult members from entering Albania at any cost.

They have established a 24-hour patrol at the MEK headquarters to prevent more members from escaping. Due to the escape of Amir Parvizi and his illegal extradition to the MEK camp, his life is in serious danger. You should also know that one of the disaffected members has committed suicide lately because of the increasing pressure on the rank and file inside the camp. Due to the unhealthy relations with the MEK, the Albanian police refused to follow up.

Dear Mr. Çuçi
As the Minister of Interior of the Republic of Albania, we inform you that the Albanian government is directly responsible for the life of Amir Parvizi, and if something happens to Amir, you will be responsible. Don’t forget that Maryam Rajavi was convicted of committing a crime against humanity by the 55th Branch of the International Court of Tehran based on the testimonies of a large number of defectors. She is under arrest warrant by the Iranian court and the case has been referred to The Hague Court, the Council of European Union, the United Nations, the French Ministry of Justice France and the Albanian Ministry of Justice.
Therefore, any cooperation with this dangerous group will have legal consequences. Please issue appropriate orders as soon as possible to prevent mental and physical injuries to the members of the Mujahedin-e Khalq, including Amir Parvizi.

Sincerely
Amir Parvizi family of Amir Parvizi, Zanjan, Iran

Copies to:
– Prime Minister of Albania
– Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Albania

Albania

Letter from the CEO of Nejat Society to the Minister of Interior of Albania

Ebrahim Khodabandeh, CEO of Nejat Society of Iran, wrote a letter to the Minister of Interior of Albania regarding the recent events in Albania related to the presence of the MEK in this country, a copy of which was sent to other Albanian authorities as well as international bodies and media. The text of the letter is as follows:

The CEO of Nejat Society;Mr. Khodabandeh pens letter to the Minister of Interior of the Government of Albania

Mr. Bledar Çuçi
Minister of the Interior of the Government of the Republic of Albania
August 15, 2022

Greetings
So far, I have written many letters to you on behalf of the expectant families of the members of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK, MKO) who are trapped in the closed and remote camp of this organization in Albania, and all of them have remained unanswered, although I know that you have been informed about the contents of them.

For your information, Massoud Rajavi, the cultic leader of the MEK, announced in a message that was read to the members at the camp of this Cult in Durres, that “entry of the families into Albania is crossing our red line and this should never happen”.

The question that arises for the families is whether Massoud Rajavi can decide who should enter the country and who should not enter instead of the Albanian government?

We also know that the MEK have established 24-hour patrols in their area and are very careful that no one escapes from the camp, and they have informed the members that if anyone escapes, the Albanian police will arrest the person and return him or her to the camp. It is as if these people are in a prison camp and are serving their sentences. Does the Albanian government know how this group treats its members?

In one case, some time ago, Mr. Amir Parvizi escaped from the MEK in Albania with the intention of separating from this cult, but unfortunately, he was arrested by the Albanian police and his pleas that he does not want to return to the camp dominated by Maryam Rajavi were ignored. And he was handed over to the leaders of the Rajavi Cult, who immediately put him under severe physical and mental pressure. Do you know about the details of this behavior against human rights standards?

It has also been reported that the MEK is constructing large military concrete buildings in its headquarters. Are the government and police of Albania aware of the actions that this cult is doing in the country? It is recalled that the Iraqi governments, one after another, after the fall of Saddam Hussein, who hosted this group, considered it as a threat to national security.

You must be aware that in the judge’s order of inspection of the premises of the Association for the Support of Iranians Living in Albania (ASILA), who are former members of the MEK, it was mentioned that about 300 members of this organization illegally left Albania and went to European Union countries. Doesn’t this cause concern for the European Union, which Albania wants to join?

The last painful incident that I would like to inform you about is the self-harm of Mr. Ali Akbar Azimi, who cut the vein in his hand because the cult leaders did not allow him to leave the camp and put him under the most intense physical and mental pressure. In this regard, Mr. Gjergji Thanasi informed the police on behalf of ASILA, and the police approached the camp to meet this person, but they said that he was infected with covid virus and was in quarantine, and it was not possible to meet him, and apparently the police accepted the excuse.
The news coming from inside the camp shows the extremely chaotic and dangerous situation that it is necessary for the Albanian government to intervene and take control of the situation just to prevent a humanitarian disaster. This letter is a warning that needs to be taken seriously. The expectant families are extremely worried about the safety and health of their loved ones and consider it necessary for the Albanian government to take necessary measures.

The Ideology of the MEK

Maryam Rajavi and Nexhmije Hoxha: The black widows of the Balkans

Maryam Rajavi and Nexhmije Hoxha are both widows of two dictators whose dark past has been known to the world.

Most dictators have several characteristics in common. They often resort to force or fraud to gain despotic political power, which they maintain through the use of intimidation, terror, and the suppression of dissidents. Massoud Rajavi, the leader of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MEK/ MKO/ PMOI) shares the prominent characteristics of most dictators around the world. He was disappeared in 2003 when the coalition forces invaded Iraq. Since then, Maryam Rajavi has been the public leader of the group.

In 2015, the MEK was completely relocated in Albania, one of the best-known examples of Balkan countries “experiencing” authoritarianism. The end of World War II and the bloody conflicts marked the beginning of a series of industrialization and economic self-sufficiency efforts by the leader of the Albanian Labor Party, Enver Hoxha. However, Hoxha’s adherence to a model of governance similar to that of Stalinism showed authoritarian and violent actions against dissidents. His policy throughout his life led him to be described as a “communist dictator” and as the “Stalin of the Balkans”.

Massoud Rajavi took his ideology from Stalinist Russia too. He founded his cult of personality on the basis of an ideology which is a mixture of Islam and Marxism. He claimed to seek a classless society in his organization and eventually in future Iran. He did not succeed to overthrow the Iranian government in spite of launching the most violent terror acts against the Iranian civilians, authorities and nuclear scientists during three decades.

Massoud together with his wife Maryam Rajavi developed their despotic rule on their own rank and file. Under the Rajavi’s cult of personality members are subjected to mandatory divorce, forced labor without payment, self-criticism meetings and other cult-like suppressive practices. In the Cult of Rajavi, dissident members have been jailed in solitary confinement, tortured or even killed. This is what the Albanian nation experienced during the rule of Enver Hoxha. Hoxha and Rajavi’s method of conducting politics had ideological bases similar to those of Stalinism, aiming more and more at personalistic aspirations.

Nexhmije Hoxha & Maryam Rajavi

The 40-year period of Hoxha’s rule was characterized by confiscation of property, many years of imprisonment or forced labor in camps, the imposition of the death penalty and the banning of all religious activities. Hoxha’s wife Nexhmije, who was an active member of the Communist Party took on various key positions in Albania. She was a supporter of her husband’s political actions and she directly mixed with a series of murders and persecutions of thousands of people, mostly prominent women of the post-war period.

Hoxha remained the dictator of Albania until his death in 1985. His widow, Nexhmije Hoxha, the “Black Lady” or the “Devil Woman”, as she has been described, lived for 35 extra years after the death of her husband, in an area just outside Tirana. She passed away in February, 2020, at the age of 99. It is important to note that, in none of her interviews did she express remorse for the regime’s past and their crimes.

Maryam Rajavi can be considered a widow because her husband Massoud Rajavi has disappeared since 2003. Addressing Maryam Rajavi, in his paid speech in an MEK-run event in 2015, Turki Faisal, Saudi Arabia’s former chief of Intelligence also spoke of Massoud Rajavi as “your late husband”.

Today, three decades after the fall of the Hoxha’s dictatorship, Maryam Rajavi plays the part of the “black widow of the Balkans” in the Albanian territory. Although Nexhmije served five years in prison before she lived in isolation in her apartment in the suburb of Tirana, Maryam Rajavi lives in her headquarters in a village in North of Tirana, Manez, meeting her paid invitees. She boasts of her future plan for Iran, chanting slogans for a few thousands of her cult members who wave the MEK flags before her. She glorifies her disappeared husband for the crimes he committed against the Iranian nation and his own rank and file.

Maryam Rajavi is over 70 years old now. She will die someday and definitely, she will never remorse for the atrocities she committed together with her husband. An inherent lack of empathy, guilt or remorse allows the most malignant people to commit unspeakable atrocities and never feel regret.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization's Propaganda System

MEK Constrained in Albania Goes Berserk

Last week, four former MEK members flew to Albania from their homes in Europe to attend the wedding of their friend. When they were denied entry at the airport, two of them boarded return flights to Britain and Austria. However, the couple from Germany remained at the airport demanding to know why they were being refused entry. Ms Batoul Soltani told journalists “We saw MEK commanders sitting in KFC in the transit hall and assumed the Albanian border officials had allowed them in to make sure no Iranians could enter the country”. Soltani went on to explain, “We asked for consular support from the German embassy. And after spending an uncomfortable night sleeping in transit, an official visited us the next day. What they told us was really surprising.”

Batoul Soltani

The German diplomat explained that the Albanian border officials had refused them entry in order to protect them from being hurt or even killed by the MEK. The Albanian police admitted that they are cracking down on the MEK’s activities and this has made them extremely angry. The MEK is now facing an existential crisis and their rage has made them vicious and dangerous. Their soft targets are the former members who have spoken out against them, revealing gross human rights abuses. After being reassured that they could visit Albania again in the future, Soltani and her partner returned home to Germany.

Evidence of how severely the MEK has been restrained emerged after the Albanian police banned the MEK from holding its annual rally scheduled for 23-4 July. The MEK angrily “postponed” their rally and set about concocting a false threat to offer as an excuse. Using false information, the MEK coerced Albania’s Special Structure for Combatting Corruption and Organized Crime (SPAK) into detaining a handful of former MEK members and their Albanian supporters on the charge of being “agents in the service of the Iranian regime”. These former members of the MEK, survivors of modern slavery, have struggled to live in Albania under constant harassment by both the MEK and Albanian authorities. The MEK accused them of plotting to kill the MEK members at the rally. SPAK searched their properties and interrogated the detainees but could not find any reason to hold them. In spite of the MEK insisting they be kept overnight in order to keep the appearance that they were a terrorist threat, they were released the same day.

When this ploy to hide the awful truth didn’t work, the US embassy in Albania posted a Tweet warning “The U.S. government is aware of a potential threat targeting the Free Iran World Summit to be held near Durres, Albania on July 23-24, 2022.” The post went on to advise: “U.S. Citizens are urged to avoid this event; Monitor local media; Be aware of your surroundings; Keep a low profile”.

Whether the “potential threat” targeted Americans specifically or not, this served the dual purpose of giving the MEK an excuse to cancel their rally, and also demonised Iran as a potential terrorist threat. (Though implicit in this is the message that neither the Albanian police and security services nor the Americans – in a NATO country – had the power to detect and neutralise a potential threat to a closed camp in the middle of Albania.)
Ironically, the cancellation of the MEK rally attracted much greater publicity for the cult than the actual rally would have done. For this reason, the MEK leadership was initially delighted by this turn of events. The US benefitted as this fed into the narrative confected around the trials in Belgium and Sweden of Iranian government officials operating in Europe who are alleged to have committed crimes against MEK members. Demonising Iran in any way adds fuel to the efforts by the anti-Iran cohort in the US, Israel and Saudi Arabia to stop the US coming back to the JCPOA and to get the weak president Biden to pursue the same maximum pressure policy as Trump with even more sanctions on Iran.

MEK leader Maryam Rajavi has a popularity problem both at home and in exile.

It also gave the Iranians an opportunity to have a laugh as Fars News Agency made the patently ludicrous suggestion of “targeting an opposition group in Europe with ballistic missiles and drones”. This was gleefully picked up and reported by the Saudi owned, MEK propaganda channel Iran International TV as credible evidence of Iranian aggression. However, only days later the Telegram account for Iran’s IRGC announced that the real reason why the MEK rally was cancelled is that Maryam Rajavi is seriously ill, and doctors have been brought from Europe to save her. A claim that neither the MEK nor its supporters, paymasters or protectors could confirm or deny.

Neither scenario was viable, but this left the MEK fatally exposed as victims of other people’s propaganda. The MEK have now woken up to the fact that they have been played by both the US and Iran and, worse, for the first time in forty years have not been able to hold their annual rally. From mass demonstrations in every major western capital in the 1980s to the rallies contained in the Villepinte Exposition Parc in Paris, to small rallies inside the camp in Albania, the MEK have now been prevented from holding a rally at all.

This should not come as a surprise however. Several events in the past year and more indicated that Maryam Rajavi is no longer fully in control of the MEK. Last year we revealed that Maryam Rajavi was in the process of offloading responsibility for running the MEK onto her daughter and niece and some other loyal women, perhaps in an effort to take control of the MEK’s vast financial assets. Alongside this, there have also been activities which she would not have been able to instigate or monitor – from mafia collaboration to cyberwarfare. Her only role has been as a figurehead to front the MEK and market it as an anti-Iran opposition group. This was fine as long as it was needed. It no longer is. The annual rally is no longer to be tolerated.

But beyond this, the MEK has always been a maverick group, obeying no laws except its own cultic dynamics; brainwashing the members as modern slaves and living and acting outside the laws and norms of every country they have been based in, indulging in criminal and corrupting behaviours to serve their ends. For a candidate country for joining the EU, this has surely become a liability, and this is, presumably, why the group’s activities are being curtailed.

In Iraq, when the UNHCR puzzled over what to do with the MEK which refused to leave the country, a rumour circulated that ‘Plan B’ was to leave the MEK to die in their camp. It appears that this plan might be coming to fruition. Fewer than 1500 MEK members exist in the closed camp in Albania. Most of these are over 60 years old, many much older and many ailing. Every week reports of deaths and defections continue to haunt the cult. It is only a matter of time before the system collapses.

The hope now must be that the Albanian authorities take the lead in supporting the members directly. It would be nice if the Albanian authorities found a way to stage a humanitarian rescue of these redundant old folk. Even if they remain in the camp for the remainder of their lives, it would be a kindness to bring them some relief from their suffering and mistreatment – medical and dental care, nutritious food and retirement from forced work – and to allow them contact with their estranged families who have campaigned for over two decades to rescue their loved ones. Now they have outlived their usefulness they should be helped to live the remainder of their lives in freedom and ease.
