Mujahedin Khalq Organization members' families

Letter from Maryam Hosseini to the representative of the World Health Organization in Albania

Maryam Hosseini, the sister of Marzieh Hosseini, detained in the Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK) camp in Albania, wrote a letter to the World Health Organization (WHO) expressing concern about her sister’s health.

The text of the letter is as follows:

Representative of the WHO in Albania
Greetings and best regards

I am Maryam Hosseini, the sister of Marzieh Hosseini Mahmoud Abadi.

My sister is currently stationed at the MEK camp in Albania. She left Iran 34 years ago to continue her higher education. We later found out that she had been transferred to Iraq by the elements of the MEK. In all these 34 years, we have not met her or heard her voice, and we have not even received any message from her.

You know that the most dangerous criminals in the most dreaded prisons in the world have at least the right to have contact with their families. But we are deprived of this minimum right, the possibility of communication. Who can help us deprived families? To which international organization should we take our grievances to support us?

Worst of all, we learned that my sister had the disease caused by the Covid-19 virus in the MEK camp in Albania and was in a difficult condition. The health conditions inside the camp are not favorable at all. There have been a lot of deaths in the past few weeks.

The camp environment where the members of the MEK are based is completely closed and people live in groups and, of course, are not allowed to communicate with their families. Also, the Albanian government does not grant visas to Iranians at the request of the MEK leaders. Therefor we cannot travel to that country and follow the issue closely.

I desperately ask you not to neglect any action that is imagined in order to alleviate the worries of me and my expectant family, so that news of my sister will reach us and we will be able to communicate. Please understand the feelings of me and my family and do not hesitate to pursue this issue.

Thank you and best regards
Maryam Hosseini

Mujahedin Khalq Organization members' families

Families announce their readiness to send any possible assistance

Letter from the CEO of the Iranian Nejat Society to the representative of the WHO in Albania

Representation of the World Health Organization in Albania

Greetings and best regards
On behalf of the suffering families of members of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK, MKO, NCR, NLA), I would like to draw your attention to an emerging humanitarian catastrophe due to the spread of Covid-19 in the MEK’s closed and isolated Camp Ashraf 3 in Manez, Albania.

The alarming news coming from inside the camp indicates that many, estimated to be half the population, have contracted the disease and some are in a critical condition. According to these internal reports, prominent members such as Mahmoud Atai, Ahmad Hanifnejad, Javad Khorasan, Shahin Haeri, Ensieh Goldoust, Farzaneh Maidanshahi, Marzieh Hosseini, and many others who are elderly, are being kept in inappropriate conditions.

Reports emphasize that a very high level of fear and anxiety prevails in the camp. It goes without saying that after the defeat of US President Donald Trump in the U.S. elections and the bleak outlook for the future of the organization confronting the members, an atmosphere of panic and stress has developed, which intensifies the progress of the disease. The members’ lack of access to the outside world has greatly worried their families who are prevented from contacting them.

We also learned that some medicine had been sent from Germany specifically to the camp, which apparently was not enough and much more care was needed. Families are eager to find a way to help and send aid to members inside the camp.

Another issue is the MEK’s withholding of news about what is happening inside the camp, which adds to the concerns of families. It should be noted that between 2016, when the MEK transfer to Albania was completed, until 2019, an average of one person died in the camp every two months. But recent images of the MEK cemetery in Albania show that at least 10 people have died in the past five weeks.

According to information we have obtained, people such as Hassan Zarei, Hassan Salahandish, Gholamreza Pourhashem, Afsaneh Pichgah, Ruhollah Ramvaz, Khalil Hagh Hosseini, Mehdi Hagh Hosseini, Mohammad Qoli Ehsani, and a number of others have died in recent weeks from coronavirus.

A number of MEK members who have died in recent weeks from coronavirus.

A serious problem regarding the MEK camp is the crowded and intensive life and non-observance of health regulations, which greatly increases the speed of disease transmission. Also, the lack of monitoring inside the camp has further caused and accelerated the spread of the disease.

In this regard, it is necessary for the Albanian government and the World Health Organization to enter into the matter and investigate the issue and implement the necessary monitoring. It is also necessary to allow families to communicate with people inside the camp, which has been blocked by the MEK with the support of the Albanian government, so that families can be aware of the health and wellbeing of their loved ones.

The death of Massoud Nassiri was confirmed to be due to Corona

Concerned families send letters to the World Health Organization in Albania.

Reliable reports from Mother Teresa Hospital, as well as the Tirana University Clinic and sources in the Ministry of Health in Albania, indicate that Massoud Nassiri, 63, a member of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK, MKO, Rajavi Cult), a resident of the organization’s camp in Albania, was definitely infected and died with the Covid-19 virus nine days ago.

Under pressure from the Rajavi Cult on Albanian officials, they initially denied the allegations. A spokeswoman for the Albanian Ministry of Health even told reporters that no Iranian in Albania had died of the coronavirus.

But finally, with the efforts of reporters and following up on various sources, it became clear that the death of Massoud Nassiri was definitely due to the disease caused by the Coronavirus, and also a lot of efforts have been made to hide this issue. It is not clear how many suspected deaths of MEK members in Albania in recent months have been due to the disease, and the cause of death has been kept secret.

The Rajavi cult’s secrecy, with the cooperation of Albanian government officials, doubles the concerns of families. Why should the Rajavi Cult, which has always accused Iranian officials of concealing the statistics related to the outbreak and deaths of the corona pandemic, try to hide the cause of Massoud Nassiri’s death and probably some others?

The families of members of the MEK in Albania have sent letters and messages to WHO officials warning of a humanitarian catastrophe at the camp and calling for immediate action to visit and monitor health conditions there.
