The Mujahedin are using the Albanian antiterrorism police to intimidate and stop Faezeh and her husband Rezaei Mohammad Hassan from meeting her nephew. Faezeh declares that she is going to sue the Mujahedin and ask them to legally allow her nephew to meet with his uncle and his wife. In the video Faezeh reminds Saeid of his youth, his memories with Faezeh’s son, the plight of his mother to come to Albania and meet him. She appeals to Albanian authorities to open the camp and allow families to meet their relatives and children which are being kept as slave soldiers inside the Mujahedin camp in Manez, Albania.

Former members of the MEK

Ebrahim Moradi declared his defection from the MEK

Ebrahim Moradi declared his total disassociation with the Mujahedin Khalq (MEK, MEKO, PMOI, NCRI, Cult of Rajavi) after 20 years of collaboration with group. Moradi, now 64 years old, from Kermanshah, in west of Iran, was a construction worker when he was deceived by an MEK recruiter to join the group in Iraq. “In 2001 I was a worker in Iranshahr, Baluchestan, (Eastern Iran), a man named Farid promised me to take me to Europe”, Moradi says. “I was seeking a better life so I found it a great opportunity.”

Ebrahim Moradi

With the help of human smugglers, Farid took Ebrahim Moradi to Pakistan where he was given a fake passport. “They told me that there was a problem to go directly to Europe and I had to go to Iraq to stay there for a short time before moving to a European country,” Moradi writes in his message to announce his defection from the MEK.

The MEK agents warmly welcomed Moradi in Baghdad airport. They took him to a hotel and after a few days they took him to Camp Ashraf. “When I arrived in Camp Ashraf, a man named Aidin gave me a military uniform and told me, ‘You are a fighter for the Khalq (people)!’ “, Moradi recalls. “I was shocked, I asked them to leave me get back to Iran but I was told that I had no way out.”

Ebrahim Moradi was not personally interested in in the MEK’s cause. He was always looking for a chance to release himself from the bars of the Cult of Rajavi but like any other member of the MEK, he was constantly under the manipulation system of the group. “I had no access to the outside world, I was not even allowed to contact my family,” he says.

As a Sunni Muslim, Moradi was forced by the MEK commanders to obey the religious rules and ceremonies of the Shiite Mujahedin. “I was difficult for me but I had to obey the repressive ruling of the cult,” he states.
Moradi left the MEK’s camp in Albania in 2017 but he was linked with group’s authorities because of the monthly payment that the UN pays all refugees in Albania. In fact, the MEK leaders have confiscated the money and they pay it to their defectors as far as they work for them as spies against other defectors who have completely defected from the group.

About his departure from the MEK he says, “After 17 years of ruining my life for the lies and false promises of the MEK, I left the group after it was relocated in Albania but unfortunately it was like I was still I the group; I was forced to snitch on other defectors of the group as a spy just in order to receive my monthly payment.”

Ebrahim Moradi with ASILA members

The MEK authorities wanted him to inform them on the whereabouts, job, family … of the defectors. “I was fed up with spying and snitching for them so I came to ASILA office and introduced myself to Mr. Heirani,” he writes.
Moradi joined ASILA (the association for the support of the Iranians living in Albania) which is run by defectors of the MEK to aid former members of the MEK to build a new life in the outside world.

The cult of Rajavi

Being benevolent excludes you in the Cult of Rajavi; the story of Reza Tabe

Reza Tabe’ was a high-ranking commander of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO/ MEK/ PMOI/ NCR/ Cult of Rajavi). He had served the MEK since he was so young. He survived the MEK’s most catastrophic operation against the Iranian border in 1988 and many other operations launched by the MEK in the alleged struggle for the Iranian Khalq (people). However, Reza Tabe’ died in 2014 after he left the group.

Reza was one of the commanders of a unit called “Hanif” in Camp Ashraf where child soldiers were trained for military operations immediately after they were transferred from Europe to the MEK’s base in Iraq. Amir Yaghmai is one of the child soldiers who was recruited by the MEK agents in France to join the MEK’s so-called National Liberation Army (NLA), when he was only 14. He remembers Reza Tabe’, his nice commander in Hanif.

Amir Vafa Yaghmaei

Amir could manage to escape the MEK (Cult of Rajavi) when he was 22 and since then he was labeled by the MEK’s propaganda as the agent of the Iranian Intelligence. Nevertheless, Amir has not stopped exposing the MEK as a suppressive cult that violated the rights of its own members, especially former child soldiers like him. In his recent video published on Twitter, Amir speaks in the memory of Reza Tabe as one of the rare commanders of the MEK who was kind, humanitarian and caring to child soldiers. “He had sense of humor, he was energetic, cheerful and an honorable person,” Amir says.

As Amir Yaghmai asserts, unlike typical commanders of the MEK who are suppressive, strict and absolutely obedient to rules of the cult of Rajavi, Reza Tabe’ was an easygoing person. Amir Yaghmai testifies that he just saw humanity in him. “The kids (child soldiers) loved him,” Amir says. “I didn’t see anything bad of him, I just learned from him to be human.”.

In contrast, being humanitarian was not the thing wanted by the leaders of the MEK. The cult of Rajavi want commanders who are able to monitor all aspects of the life of their forces, suppressing them in the self-criticism sessions, punishing them for not being submissive enough to the cult-like regulations of the group.
Thus, Reza left the group and fled to Greece, Europe. After those many years of serving Massoud Rajavi and his cult, Reza was left moneyless and homeless as an illegal refugee seeker in Europe. After two years he moved to Germany where he was finally granted political refuge. He could manage to build a new life but he soon died of a heart attack in the streets of a German city. His body was sent to his family in Iran after so many years of separation.

The MEK-run media said nothing of their formerly high-ranking commander. “The MEK did not react his death; no condolences were sent; no tribute was paid by the side of the MEK.” Amir Yaghmai says. “Reza had served the MEK for so many years. He had endangered his life for the group. No matter right or wrong but he had joined the MEK pure intentions.”

There were a lot of high-ranking members of the MEK who began criticizing the group after they noticed that it was turning to a cult around the personality of Massoud Rajavi. Reza Tabe’ is just one of those members of the cult whose servings was ignored by the leaders just because he had left the cult. Moreover, these individuals were labeled as mercenaries of the Iranian government just because they stopped working with the Rajavis.

The cult of Rajavi

German Magazine, 24 facts on child abuse in the MEK

On October 27th, 2021 the German magazine, Die Zeit, published a fact-finding article based on an interview with a former child soldier of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO/ MEK/ NCR/ PMOI/ Cult of Rajavi) Amin Golmaryami.

The Zeit’s article has developed at least 24 accusations against the MEK as the group that had recruited Amin Golmaryami and a large number of other Mujhed child soldiers to join the group’s base in Iraq, Camp Ashraf. Out of the 24 facts on the true nature of the MEK, 20 have been testified by Amin Golmaryami and the rest have been investigated and asserted by the journalist Luisa Hommerich.

Amin Golmaryami

The followings are the cases of human rights violations in the MEK that are accessible in the article:

1. The destruction of family’s structure; The MEK leaders separated children from their parents.
2. The illegal transfer (human smuggling) of hundreds of children from Iraq to Europe.
3. Maintaining children in team houses of the MEK; The group’s agents in Germany kept 150 children in a team house in Cologne without the supervision of the German Youth Welfare Office.
4. Poor health and living conditions of the children in the team houses.
5. Verbal and physical abuse of children by the MEK agents or individuals associated with them.
6. Fraud against the German social security office in Cologne; the MEK operatives received the child benefit, a monthly payment given to all parents in Germany.
7. Establishing front organizations to raise funds under the cover of child aid charities.
8. Employing attorneys to intervene in the activities of the Youth Welfare Office and the German Police under the cover of advocating for children rights.
9. Manipulating the children’s minds. The MEK commanders deceived the children to take them to Iraq promising them to visit their parents in Iraq and get back Europe after a short time but in practice, once they were moved to Iraq, they were not allowed to get back any more.
10. Banning children from education. At least 40 cases of MEK children who resided in Cologne were transferred to Iraq with the promise of visiting their parents and eventually they were unable to continue their education during the next years that they were forced to stay in the group’s camps in Iraq.
11. Kidnapping. In at least 40 cases of the MEK children were disappeared at schools in Cologne; they were illegally transferred to France and from there to Iraq. The legal custodians of the children and the German Youth Welfare Office were not informed about the transfer.
12. In contrast with the promises made by the MEK commanders, the children were not delivered to their parents in Iraq. In case of Amin Golmaryami, he visited his mother after two weeks in the presence of some other Mujahed women. For families, there was no possibility for free visits or living together, inside the MEK bases. Visits took place only twice a year, in public ceremonies.
13. The child soldiers had to wear military uniforms immediately after they arrived in the MEK’s camp. They eventually received military trainings. Thus, they were child soldiers.
14. The children such as Amin Golmaryami were forced to stay in Iraq. They were prevented from returning to Europe. They were kept in Camp Ashraf under severe mental and physical pressure.
15. Although these child soldiers were friends since their childhood in Iraq and Germany, they were not allowed to socialized with each other after they brought back to Camp Ashraf as child soldiers.
16. At least, one of the child soldiers, a girl named Alan Muhammadi committed suicide due to the cult-like pressures by the MEK commanders.
17. Members of the MEK have no free access to TV, radio, newspapers, the Internet and telephone.
18. In the MEK, members have to attend daily meetings in order to report their sexual thoughts.
19. The regulations of the MEK are cult-like.
20. Massoud Rajavi, the leader of the MEK intimidated the dissident members and those who were willing to leave the group. They were threatened to be delivered to Saddam Hussein’s prison, Abu Quraib, where torture was expecting them.
21. Members of the MEK are coerced to spy on each other.
22. Amin Golmaryami was not able to contact the representatives of the UN in Camp Ashraf, Iraq, because of the suppressive ruling of the MEK.
23. The Gestapo-like control in the MEK. In the only one time that Amin Golmaryami succeeded to call a person in Germany, the phone call was monitored by the commanders and consequently Amin was punished.
24. Permanent psychological injuries. Being separated from parents, being smuggled to Germany, experiencing improper living conditions, being moved to Iraq and working as a forced soldier of the MEK have caused Amin and other former child soldiers many mental injuries such as post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, adjustment disorders and anxiety.

Among the above-mentioned cases, only the cases 6, 7, 8 and 19 were claimed by the journalist, Luisa Hommerich, the rest are all testimonies of Amin Golmaryami, as one of nearly eight hundred children who were separated from their Mujahed parents in 1991 and more than 300 child soldiers who were brought back to Iraq between 1996 and 2000.

Iran Interlink Weekly Digest

Iran Interlink Weekly Digest – 308

++ Massoud Khodabandeh was interviewed by Iranic TV. Khodabandeh covered a variety of subjects starting with the source of MEK money – Saddam Hussein, Saudi gold and money laundering. He said the MEK are still involved in money laundering, but now, instead of being alongside military/terrorist activities, they are now being paid for click farm propaganda activity and intelligence work for anyone, including paid work for Zionists against Europeans. Khodabandeh talked about the recent renewed interest in the case of child soldiers, rapes and sexual abuse and women in the MEK. He talked about the assassination of general Soleimani and how this put an end to the west’s hopes for regime change. He concluded by talking about the MEK’s situation in Albania where they act with impunity – as above the law as they were under Saddam Hussein – with the backing of Israel in particular. Khodabandeh stressed that the Albanian authorities are not happy with this situation at all.

++ Exit News in Albania, which previously reported the arrest of two high ranking MEK personnel on charges of drug and human trafficking, is continuing to report on the crackdown on criminal activity in Albania. This time involving unauthorised cryptocurrency labs, fraud and hiding income. Commentators ask in Farsi why the authorities turn a blind eye to the MEK’s criminal behaviour. Why the two arrested MEK officials are not being prosecuted and why the authorities refuse to investigate well-evidenced allegations of modern slavery and human rights abuses in Camp Ashraf 3.

++ The MEK are placing fundraising ads on their TV channel. This is in spite of the fact that everyone knows the MEK is paid for by the anti-Iran coalition (US, Israel, Saudi Arabia and UK). As several commentors pointed out, the MEK’s main job is money laundry for the purposes of propaganda and dissemination of false and misleading information.

++ Maryam Rajavi was delighted to pose with some non-Iranian former politicians and personalities presumably in a bid to win over the hearts and minds of Iranians. It was deliberately unclear whether these photo ops were made Albania or France, though Rajavi is trying hard to pretend she is living in France. Responses pointed out that the Rajavi Cult is more and more irrelevant to Iran and that observers expect the group to morph into the Cult of Qajar in Paris headed by Maryam’s daughter and her niece (her brother’s daughter) who are both French citizens by birth.

++ Hackers managed to hack an Iranian TV channel for a few seconds last week, placing photos (over 30-year-old) of Massoud and Maryam Rajavi on screen. This prompted a hashtag storm with # down with MEK in Farsi from everywhere. Social media found the stunt ridiculous. Nobody cares about MEK and those who did simply laughed at how desperate MEK is to prove it actually exists at all.

In English
++ Gjergji Thanasi wrote about the trafficking activities of MEK being revealed in Greece which are a repeat of the drug and human trafficking which led to the arrest of two high ranking members in Albania. Thanasi wrote that Greek police and journalists have raised concerns about the long term activities of Mehdi Mazloomi and Bahman Rahimi, both MEK members, in Greece. The fear is that MEK is causing problems in the EU and in NATO countries. Thanasi suggests that the US embassy should help Albania to end the Rajavi cult.

++ In a joint broadcast between ASILA in Albania and Nejat Society in Iran, Albanian journalist Gjergji Thanasi told families of the entrapped MEK members that things are changing for the better. According to the Albanians there is now an alternative for the inmates, to have a normal life in Tirana; Thanasi stressed that new legislation allows them to find a job. He said everyone should work together to help the MEK members as the alternative could be that they die of COVID 19 due to negligence.
++ Nejat Society published the story of Mahvash Jahanbanian whose husband Ali Ebrahimi was taken as a PoW during the Iran-Iraq while serving as an officer in the Iranian army. In spite of being registered with the ICRC, Ebrahimi’s letters stopped in 1989 and his wife had no news of him until an anonymous note revealed he was with the MEK. After the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003 Jahanbanian, with other families, visited Camp Ashraf and Camp Liberty four times to find her husband. They had rocks thrown at them. Later, former MEK members who knew him told her that he refused to comply with MEK demands that he denounce his wife as an agent of Iranian Intelligence and was punished for this. Jahanbanian is continuing her efforts to contact her husband and called on the Albanian authorities to help. Meanwhile, she sent a direct message to him on her video with Mardom TV: “Ali! I still love you and respect you the same as I did the day you left. We will warmly welcome you whenever you come back home.”

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

Manez based Mujahedin and human trafficking in Albania and Greece

Human trafficking is an operative tool that serves several purposes for terrorist organizations. It facilitates the recruitment and retention of their recruits and provides a support mechanism for them. Leaders of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MEK/ MKO/ PMOI/ NCR/ Cult of Rajavi) have managed their forces with the most complicated techniques of human smuggling around the world, in particularly form Iran to Iraq and from Iraq to Europe and etc. The group’s illegal trafficking has continued since its relocation in the Albanian territory.

During the past two months, there have been two reports on the MEK’s involvement in human trafficking in Albania and Greece. On December 5th, 2021, Alice Taylor of the Exit reported on the arrest of two commanders of the MEK, Narges Azdanloo and Hassan Nayeb Agha by the Albanian police. Gjergji Thanasi of Gazeta Impakt wrote of the group’s background of smuggling two men in Greece, on January 30th, 2022. Referring to the violent background of the MEK, Thanasi warned the Albanian security services to verify the case of these two people in the MEK’s camp in Manza, north of Tirana.

Trafficking is a tactic of warfare to intimidate populations and reduce resistance just as enslavement and rape. Terrorist groups appear to grow human capital, tactical adaptability and ideological reinforcement for their organizations by employing trafficking acts and means to exploit vulnerable adults and children for a variety of purposes, including sexual exploitation, forced labor and slavery, and even war. The recent testimonies published by former child soldiers of the MEK prove that leaders of the group, Massoud and Maryam Rajavi have committed all of these crimes against their own members, just as the ISIS did against their female and child recruits and the Yazidi women.

Although the case of MEK’s human traffickers and their victims have hardly ever investigated in the media and scholar communities –due to the group’s propaganda or Western political interests—the threat of the residence of two thousand radicalized members of the MEK in a European country should not be neglected.
The important argument here is that victims of trafficking by terrorist groups are too often being punished instead of protected. States fail to identify and protect victims, often because of their alleged association with terrorist groups and their illegal immigration. This makes the victims to resort to their predator again for the alleged support. This has frequently happened to members and ex-members of the MEK.

The Albanian authorities and the Human rights bodies should take into consideration that the majority of the MEK’s rank and file are victims of the group’s cult-like oppressive system. They have been radicalized under Rajavi’s cult of Personality. They have been terrified of the outside world by the group’s propaganda. Thus, the Albanian state must support them to get deradicalized in order to join the life outside the MEK’s camp.

The second step is to protect the defectors of the MEK to begin their new life in the free world. The Association for the Support of the Iranians Living in Albania (ASILA) seems to be ready to accomplish the second step. However, the first step is certainly possible if the Albanian authorities take proper action to do their national and humanitarian responsibility to aid residents of Camp Ashaf 3 release from the bars of the cult of Rajavi.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

The Albania based MEK and threat of clandestine trafficking

The handcuffing for drug trafficking and human trafficking, made by the Albanian police to the two senior commanders of the Iranian mujahedeen sheltered in Manza (Durrës), unfortunately did not stop the former MEK terrorists locked in Camp Ashraf 3 Manza. ( Https : //exit.al/en/2021/12/05/iranian-exiles-in-albania-arrested-for-drug-trafficking-and-human-smuggling/ ).

The intervention of American diplomats in Tirana before the Albanian judiciary to close this affair of the MEK with drugs and trafficking in human beings, apparently served the MEK as an incentive to continue the profitable trafficking of human beings. For more, you can consult the public statement of the prominent analyst Andi Bushati.

I learned from my fellow Greek journalists that the Attica Prefecture police as well as EKAM (Greek special anti-terror police) were very alarmed when they learned from operational sources that the former terrorist organization MEK based in a camp near Durrës trafficked two members of the organization from Albania to Greece years ago.

It is about MEHDI MAZLOOMI and BAHMAN RAHIMI. The Greeks, given the proverb that the leopard cannot change the fur stamps (the wolf changes the hair, but does not forget the habit) fear the participation of these two mujahideen in terrorist acts in the territory of the Hellenic Republic or the use of this territory to undertake terrorist acts in other EU countries or in allied countries of Greece (NATO member countries).

According to Greek journalists, these 2 members of a former terrorist organization are trying to contact structured Afghan criminal gangs in Athens to obtain forged European identification documents. Greek colleagues had only one photo of many years ago of Mehdi Mazloomi, with his mother. This photo is attached to my post for illustration.

Mehdi Mazlumi and his mother

The continuation of trafficking by MEK members and commanders in Albania opens additional troubles for my Homeland and creates problems with the EU and NATO allies. As a journalist, but also as an Albanian patriot, I call on the director of the State Police, Mr. Gledis Nano (former director of anti-terrorism), to urgently verify, whether the above two persons are still in Camp Ashraf in Manez, or have cracked the thorn and Greek journalists are right, who give the alarm for trafficking in human beings (active members of a former terrorist organizations)?

Such verification is not difficult at all, because during the dictatorship even the chickens of agricultural cooperatives had inventory. I believe that the Albanian police has an exact “inventory” of how many and who are the MEKs housed in Ashraf 3, so it is easy to find out if the two above-mentioned are still in Camp Ashraf 3 or ……

As an American philanthropist, I publicly ask DCM Demian Smith at the US Embassy in Tirana, to exercise all his influence with the good intention, that the Rajavi Cult stop any openly illegal activity that takes place in the territory of the Republic of Albania.

I am absolutely sure that such an action by DCM Smith would serve to strengthen the excellent Albanian-American relations. After all, the English proverb also applies to us Albanians: “A friend in need is a friend indeed”.

Now Albania really needs the Rajavi Cult to put an end to all the evil activities that it develops in the Albanian land, abusing the generosity and hospitality of the Albanians !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mujahedin Khalq Organization's Propaganda System

Ehsan Shakeri a child soldier who was slaughtered by the MEK’s propaganda machine

Ehsan Shakeri was living in Sweden together with his mother and daughter when the recruiters of the Mujahedin khalq deceived him to join the MEK’s so-called National Liberation Army, in Iraq. He became a member of the MEK’s militia force –better said, child soldiers but shortly after, he came to know that the repressive ruling of the Rajavis over the MEK is not tolerable. He criticized the group and he was labeled as mercenary of the Iranian government. The labeling was continued by the MEK propaganda until Ehsan killed himself.

The young emotional Ehsan could not bear the military life in the MEK where he had to receive military trainings, he had to attend self-criticism sessions and he had to forget family life. He had missed his mother and sister. Thus, he began questioning the commanders and eventually he became the problematic element for his commander, Zhila Deihim.

“Ehsan asked to leave the MEK and go back to Sweden several times but in response he was punished by Zhila Deihim,” former member of the MEK Reza Gooran writes in his memories about his involvement in the MEK. “Zhila jailed Ehsan in solitary confinement in Street 400 of camp Ashraf, beating him and insulting him”. Reza Gooran was in the same unit with Ehsan after they both left Camp Ashraf and joined the American temporary camp for MEK’s defectors (TIPF), in 2004.

MEK defectors at the Temporary Internment and Protection Facility, which was built adjacent to Camp Ashraf and run by the U.S. military.

Ehsan was good in English, so the American forces employed him as their interpreter. However, Zhila Deihim did not leave Ehsan alone, in TIPT. She used to come there to visit Ehsan asking him to spy on the other defectors who resided there. Therefore, Ehsan was called spy by his peers and consequently the Americans fired him just because the MEK commander wanted him to work as their mercenary.

Actually, Ehsan was not a spy but Zhila Deihim wanted him to be. Ehsan just wanted to get back to his family. Reza Gooran tried to support him in TIPF but both of them were under pressure, previously in the MEK and now in TIPF. “Ehsan was like my younger brother, I really loved him,” Reza says.

Amir Yaghmai, former child soldier who had left the MEK too and was in TIPF at the time, confirms Reza Gooran’s account in the Club House room, attended by former members and former child soldiers of the MEK. He says, “I was in TIPF with Ehsan and Reza. Reza was so supportive to Ehsan. The American forces had jailed Ehsan in solitary confinement for one month. Then he was released and he went to Iran inevitably and from there he immigrated to Sweden. The MEK labeled him as a mercenary of the Iranian government publishing several announcements to accuse him of being the agent of the Iranian intelligence in its websites.”

Ehsan Shakeri was announced as the agent of the Islamic republic by the MEK just because he had gone to Iran and had stayed there for a short time before moving to Sweden. Based on the MEK rhetoric, returning to Iran equals with working with Iranian government which is the enemy of the group.

“In 2009, –I do not mean that it was just because of the MEK but—he was under severe mental pressure and finally, as what Reza said, we heard that Ehsan hanged himself by the neck in the jungles of Sweden,” Amir Yaghmai says. “He was a child of ours (Mujahedin); his father had been killed. His mother and sister live in Sweden. The MEK shot him by calling him “mercenary mercenary mercenary ! I was the only witness there. I saw what he endured. If I were in his shoes at the time, I might have gone to Iran too. Once he came to Sweden trying to build a new life, the MEK constantly published announcements against him.”

Ehsan was never a mercenary, neither for Iran nor for the MEK. He could not manage to endure such accusations. He committed suicide after enduring too much mental pressure by the side of the MEK propaganda.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization's Propaganda System

In the MEK’s propaganda, you are cherished after your death

As marriage and having children is forbidden in the MEK, the rate of death is increasing in the group while no birth takes place there. On January 22^nd, the websites of the Mujahedin Khalq organization once more published the news of an elderly member named Nourmorad Kalejouyi Kalejouyi. They even published the news on their English language website paying tribute to him as “a symbol of defiance against two dictatorships in Iran”. Who was Nourmorad Kolajouyi?

Nourmorad was eighty-seven years old when he allegedly died due to heart failure and pulmonary complication. He was from Andimeshk, Khozestan a small town in south-west of Iran. He was a truck driver in the frontline in the early days of the Iran-Iraq war in 1980 when he was taken as a war prisoner by Iraqi forces. After 9 years of enduring Saddam Hussein’s jail, Nourmorad was recruited by the agents of the MEK who used to deceive Iranian POWs to join the Cult of Rajavi.

Nourmorad Kalejouyi

Nourmorad was taken to Camp Ashraf while he did not know anything about the MEK, its ideology and regulations. Since then, he was taken as a hostage in the cult-like system of the MEK for 32 years.

Nourmorad Kalejouyi was illiterate so he had his friends write letters to his beloved daughters when he was in Iraqi prison but after he joined the MEK he was not allowed to contact his family anymore. In the MEK, even thinking about his family was forbidden. In 1990, the representatives of the Red Cross took letters from Nourmorad’s family to Camp Ashraf but the group did not allow Nourmorad to show up.

Although, as an elderly, Nourmrad suffered aches in his back and legs, he had to work hard in the MEK camps. He was made do farming and other agricultural jobs. He had to attend self-criticism sessions every night. He was made read his sexual thoughts before his peers and commanders and he was even punished for his thoughts.

In Iran, Nourmorad’s daughters missed him; they were worried about him. They traveled to Iraq to visit their father in the MEK’s jail, several times. They called his name behind the gates of Camp Ashraf but Nourmorad was not allowed to visit them. The commanders told him that his daughters were his enemies, agents of the Iranian Intelligence!

His daughter kept on taking actions to visit their father writing letters to the International human rights bodies and Iraqi authorities. After the group was relocated in Albania, they wrote letters to the Albanian authorities to aid them visit their sick and old father in the group’s camp near Tirana. “As the highest authority of the Albanian government, I ask you to order the issuing of visa for us in order to come to Albania to visit our father,” Shahla Kolajouyi, the daughter of Nourmorad wrote to Edi Rama the Albanian President, in April 2020.

Most former members of the MEK remember Nourmorad Kolajouyi inside the Cult of Rajavi. They witnessed that Nourmorad was under daily mental and physical pressure during the entire years of his membership in the MEK cult, just like any other member of the cult.

Nourmorad is the symbol of an ordinary man who was deprived of an ordinary life by the Cult of Rajavi. He was not a political person; he was just a loving caring father who became the victim of Maryam and Massoud Rajavi. His family was ignored even after his death. In her so-called tribute for the death of Nourmorad, Maryam Rajavi offered condolences to the Mujahedin Khalq and their guru, Massoud, but not to Nourmorad’s family.
