Letter to a brother imprisoned in the MEK on Yalda Night

On the occasion of Yalda Night, Zahra Gholizadeh published a letter to her beloved brother Ali, a member of the Mujahedin-e Khalq.
As an historic tradition, the Winter solstice is celebrated by the Iranian families, every year. Family members, parents and siblings gather together to celebrate the start of winter. As well as many families of MEK members, the Gholizadehs miss a member of their family: Ali.

Ali Gholizadeh was a POW of Iran-Iraq war. He was a young voluntary soldier in the war when he was imprisoned by Iraqi forces. He was then deceived by the MEK recruiters to join them in their notorious Camp Ashraf, Iraq.
This is one of the numerous letters Zahra has so far written for Ali in the hope of the least likely chance that her brother will be able to break through the mental and physical bars of the MEK and read the letters.

Zahra Gholizade

She writes of her languishing family that has gone through so many Yaldas in the absence of their beloved Ali. “I wish you were here with us this year and we would talk about all those years that you were far,” she writes. “My dear Ali! we miss you. We cannot help crying when we think of you. My dear brother! missing your visit is very difficult and suffocating for us.”

Mahin Najafi pens letter to special rapporteur on human rights in Iran

Mahin Najafi, the sister of Mohammad Jaafar Najafi, member of the Mujahedin-e Khalq wrote a letter to the special rapporteur on human rights in Iran, Javid Rehman.

Mohammad Jaafar Najafi has been taken as hostage by the leaders of the MEK for over three decades. He has never been allowed by the group leaders to contact his family in Iran. “My brother lives in the MEK’s camp in Albania or in better words, he is imprisoned in the MEK,” Mahin writes in the letter.

Mohammad Jaafar was a soldier serving for the Iranian army in Iran-Iraq war. He was taken as a war prisoner in 1988 and eventually he was taken as a hostage by the MEK recruiters working in Iraqi camps.

Mahin Najafi tells Javid Rehman that under the rule of the MEK leaders, her brother is deprived from freedom, the right to get married and have a family. “Are you informed that the MEK brainwashes its members?” she asks Rehman. “You must pursue the situation of human rights inside the MEK.”

As she states, this is the third letter Mahin has so far emailed to the UN’s special rapporteur on human rights in Iran. She warns the rapporteur on the abuses the MEK leaders commit in their modern slavery system. “The few thousand people who live in the MEK camp are not allowed to access the outside world, to contact their families,” she writes. “They are deprived from any form of freedom. Isn’t it violation of human rights? How long do I and other families of MEK hostages have to suffer separation from our loved ones.”

Mahin Najafi ends her letter by asking Javid Rehman to send a delegation in order to visit the MEK camp in Albania and to interview each member of the group in person.

Former members of the MEK

Letter to Albanian authorities by the deputy of the MEK defectors

Legal deputy of former members of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) published an open letter to the Albanian authorities. Samad Eskandari, former member of the MEK and the representative of the group defectors in Iran’s judiciary system, asked for the release of six detained members of the Association for the Support of Iranians Living in Albania (ASILA).

Eskandari suggests that these 6 people have been detained by the Albanian immigration Police as a result of a false flag operation launched by the MEK. He states, “the Albanian Prime Minister, Edi Rama has violated his political and social prestige at the cost of complicity with the devil Maryam Rajavi”.

According to Eskandari, who endured the oppressive ruling of Massoud and Maryam Rajavi in long years of membership in their cult, the history of the group and his own experience are evidences to prove that “the notorious and criminal MEK cult has no legitimacy among the Iranian public opinion and thus being a collaborator in the MEK’s bloody accord will bear no fruit for the Albanian authorities except disaster and destruction”.

He refers to the MEK’s siding with Iraqi former dictator Saddam Hussein. “For over three decades, Saddam Hussein was hand in hand with Massoud Rajavi,” he writes. “Their alliance led to the killing of a large number of dissident members of the group in Camp Ashraf, Iraq. Saddam would imprison and torture those members of the MEK who opposed Massoud Rajavi and wanted to leave his cult”.Criticizing the policies of the Albanian government to imprison members of ASILA, Eskandari warns the Albanian Prime Minister to learn lessons from the fate of Saddam Hussein.

Hassan Heirani, Gholamreza Shekari, Ali Hajari, Mehdi Soleimani, Hassan Shahbaz and Ehsan Bidi have been detained by the Albanian immigration and border department for over 5 weeks without being accused of any crime.

The Book Launch of Khalil Ansarian, MEK defector

Khalil Ansarian, former member of the Mujahedin-e Khalq launched his autobiography. The newly published “Forgotten Freedom” was published by the Association for the Support of Iranians Living in Albania (ASILA) of which Ansarian is a member now.
The ceremony to launch Ansarian’s book was held in the office of ASILA where members of the association gathered together to have the new book on the life of an MEK defector. A few lines from the book were read to the audience. The writer signed the books to give out to the guests.

The Book Launch of Khalil Ansarian

“Forgotten Freedom”, published in Albanian, is the account of 28 years of membership in the MEK, Rajavi’s cult of personality. Khalil Ansarian, from Khoozestan, Iran was a soldier in Iran-Iraq war when he was imprisoned by the Iraqi forces in 1980.

The ceremony to launch Ansarian’s book was held in the office of ASILA

He was imprisoned in Iraqi POW camps for nine years and then in 1989, the MEK recruiters deceived him to join the Cult of Rajavi in Camp Ashraf, Iraq. This time, his imprisonment in the MEK was not only physical but mental and psychological. He endured the suppressive atmosphere of the destructive cult of MEK for 28 years and in 2020 he announced his official defection from the cult.
Together with some Albanian citizens, Ansarian and a group of other defectors of the MEK established ASILA last year. ASILA is a humanitarian NGO that has published to autobiography of former members of the MEK. The first one was written by Rahman Mohammadian.

Iranians of Albania have to choose between the Karrec concentration camp and Rajavi’s terror camp

In the following interview Dr. Olsi Jazexhi interviews Hassan Heyrani, an Iranian defector of MEK who has been put under administrative detention from Edi Rama’s government since November 8, 2022.

Hassan Heyrani, Mehdi Soleymani, Reza Shekari, Ehsan Bidi, Hassan Shahbazi and Ali Hajari have been placed in administrative detention by Albania police with no excuse.

Hassan Heyrani is one of dozens of Iranian defectors who have abandoned the Mojahedin terrorist cult during the past years. The Albanian government which hosted the Mojahedin-e Khalq in 2016, is persecuting the defectors of MEK by locking them in the Karrec detention center. Iranian defectors are not allowed to have access to courts, to be sent in front of a judge and defend themselves in the court of law. The UNHCR which brought them to Albania, is ignoring the fate of this stateless people as well. Albanian counterterrorism officials who take orders from Maryam Rajavi and the Mojahedin cult, treat the defectors of MEK as criminals.

Hassan Heyrani explains the horrible conditions in the camp of Karrec, where they do not have enough food, no heating, are not allowed to meet their family members and are not allowed even to take medicines to cure themselves. While Maryam Rajavi and the Mojaheden command would have wished to have Hassan and his friends killed for abandoning the jihad, the government of Edi Rama is killing the Iranian defectors slowly: through illegal administrative detentions, starvation and keeping them in cold.

The cult of Rajavi

MEK, a case study on mind manipulation at Salford Uni- Part three

As a former member of the Mujahedin-e Khalq and a researcher on destructive cults, Massoud Banisadr, PhD, presented his study on “Mathematical Model of Mind Manipulation”, in a one-day seminar at University of Salford, Manchester. On November 3rd, 2022. Dr. Banisadr was hosted by Dr. Linda Dubrow-Marshall, PhD, a counselling and clinical psychologist and a senior lecturer in Psychology of the School of Health and Society at Salford university.

In the first part of Dr. Banisadr’s lecture, a general description of human mind and the way it is gone under undue influence was presented. Using several examples of his own account of being involved in the MEK cult, he helped us understand how our mind works, what the weak points of our mind are and how it can be manipulated. The second part of his presentation was focused on the relationship between time and mind manipulation and the tools manipulators use to change their victims’ personality. In this file, the third part of his lecture, Dr. Banisadr explains how the conscious mind or System 2 is an obstacle against the unconscious mind or System 1.

Tools of Minipulators

He states that manipulators want their victims to act according to their unconscious mind and they do it via different tools. Unconscious mind works through a reward and punishment system. Dr. Banisadr explains his own experience of being subjected to such a technique in the MEK. When he as an active member of the MEK, Massoud Rajavi would send him some presents. Once he sent him his own underwear as a gift which was so precious for Banisadr!
Self-criticism meeting is an example of punishment tool in the MEK. According to Dr. Banisadr, as a daily routine, members of the group have to attend meetings called “Dig” in which they have to confess all they did through a day. Dig means pot in Persian and connotes that the member is in the boiling water in a pot and should confess his sins to and get punished by his or her commanders and peers.

In the cults, daily routines contribute to change the members’ behavior into habits and in the absence of the critical system 2 (conscious mind), the habits are established automatically. The magic of repetition also helps the manipulator to change a lie into reality; change the reality into truth and then to change truth into belief.

This procedure was perfectly used by the MEK leaders after the so-called ideological revolution, the marriage of Massoud Rajavi and Maryam Qajar (Rajavi). Dr. Banisadr remembers how the entire organization was inclined by the photos, words, quotations, posters of Massoud and Maryam that had covered the walls of the group’s headquarters.

Obstacles to defection

Based on Dr. Banisadr’s research, loss aversion is another factor that makes a cult member stay in the cult despite its suppressive atmosphere. Cult members respond more strongly to what they lose if they leave the cult rather than what they gain if they do so. He speaks of one of his friends in the MEK who was fed up with the cult-like ruling of Massoud Rajavi but he was not able to leave the group. “He was tired; he did not want to stay any more but he would think if he left the group what would happen to him, how he would find a gob, how he would make a living outside the group,” Banisadr says.
Dr. Massoud Banidadr suggests that System 2 has a veto power over System 1. Due to lack of will power, System 1 accepts without questioning. What Banisadr calls “Gee Factor” is vital to control a person’s thought, emotions, impulse and performance. He recommends some methods to increase Gee factor.

Reza Eslami: their only fault is that they denounced the MEK cult

Reza Eslami, former member of the Mujahedin-e Khalq asked the Albanian Prime minister to release his detained friends. He is a member of the Association for the Support of Iranians Living in Albania (ASILA) of which 6 members have been detained by the Albanian immigration Police since last month.

Reza Eslami declares his protest against the arrest of these 6 people in an open letter to the Albanian Prime Minister, Edi Rama. He states that his friends have not committed any crime but they have exposed the true nature of the Cult of Rajavi or MEK.

Reza Eslami was kept under mental and physical pressure of the MEK for 29 years and as a defector of Rajavi’s cult of personality, he is considered a witness of MEK’s inhumane attitude toward its own members.
“The cult of Rajavi can not tolerate the presence of ASILA in Albania so it has to conspire with the Albanian government to prevent ASILA from exposing the truth about what is going on inside the group,” Eslami wrote in his letter to Edi Rama asking for liberation of his friends from Karrec detention center, north of Tirana.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization members' families

Families of Golestan Province demand the release of ASILA members

Families of Nejat Society office in Golestan province asked the Albanian officials to release the detained members of the Association for the Support of Iranians Living in Albania (ASILA).

Families of the Golestani members of the Mujahedin-e Khalq, who are taken as hostages in Camp Ashraf 3, the MEK’s headquarters in Albania wrote a letter to the authorities of the Albanian government.

In an open letter addressing Prime Minister Edi Rama and the Minister of Interior Bledar Cuci, they asked for the immediate release of six members of ASILA. Hassan Heirani, Gholamreza Shekari, Ali Hajari, Mehdi Soleimani, Hassan Shahbaz and Ehsan Bidi have been detained by the Albanian immigration and border department for over 5 weeks without being accused of any crime.

“Members of ASILA established their association under the official permission of your government,” they wrote. “However, they were arrested by the Police of your country and were detained in Karrec detention center which is for illegal refugees. They are deprived from the most basic life facilities.”

As victims of the MEK’s cult-like system, families ask the Albanian authorities to liberate the detained members of ASILA because the association is their only hope in Albania that may help them get news of their loved ones captured in Camp Ashraf 3.
