On Wednesday 11th of Feb 2009, a group of separated veteran members of the PMOI had a meeting with the authorities of Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) in PARIS and they submitted a letter regarding their concerns about psychological pressures and an imposed unlimited hunger strike upon the residents of ASHRAF garrison by PMOI leaders and operatives.
does a terrorist group which has been disarmed after the fall of Saddam Hussein by the US army and exists in quarantine within a limited geographic boundary inside Iraq, have any opportunity to perform terrorist activities? ..If the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation( MKO/PMOI/MEK) had access to arms and had refrained from carrying out further terror acts, then in that case perhaps the group would have had to announce this in a clear public statement signed by the leaders Massoud and Maryam Rajavi, then this might have been proper grounds to consider the situation
We have documented serious human rights abuses that the MKO was inflicting on its own members in their camp in Iraq,” said Tom Porteous, the London director of Human Rights Watch. “The organisation … has shown that criticism of leadership is certainly not tolerated..When the European Union removed a militant Iranian opposition group from its blacklist of terrorist organisations last month, it drew not only protestations from Iran but also the contempt of a former member who claims the group is little more than a cult.
Reza Sadeghi: EU should take the next step by helping the victims of Rajavi cult in Camp Ashraf Interview with the latest arrival from Camp Ashraf
(Memoirs of Mrs.Batul Soltani- Part 7)there is a practice within MKO’s internal relations called “nil-nil” (a cult type jargon) wherein everyday the members are supposed to allegedly demoralize themselves because they say that anyone who demoralizes himself and releases his energies will reach higher degrees…There is another internal phenomenon called “Current Operation” (another jargon). This has been practiced in MKO/PMOI cult since 1994…Masud Rajavi made too much noise calling the current operation as “Spiritual Jihad” as and even “higher than martyrdom”. Therefore, the members must confess all the sins they commit and they should expect any reaction from their colleagues
A former member of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organisation (MKO/PMOI/MEK), who abandoned the outlawed group in protest at its terrorist operations, said the European Union should take responsibility of supporting the MKO in its terrorist acts. Masoud Khodabandeh said deproscribing the MKO by the EU is a politically-motivated move which leads to support for the terrorism spread by the MKO.
A former member of the Islamic Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) has welcomed the European Union’s decision to take the MKO off the EU’s list of terrorist organizations. Massud Khodabandeh said the ruling will give thousands of MKO members”the right to return to their families,”RFE/RL’s Radio Farda reports. Khodabandeh said the ruling will”save some of those individuals from the situation they’re facing in Iraq,”where they number some 3,000.
… We as victims of this notorious cult ,are very surprised and insulted that the leader of this brutal cult ( MRS.MARYAM RAJAVI) whose hands are smeared with blood is allowed to participate in your parliament and even make speech in front of distinguished members of parliament which is going to happen in 26th of January ,2009 in Brussels . The conference will be implemented by the committee of sanitation and social affaires …
The American authorities and the distinguished and prominent director of FOX News should be aware of such a terrorist trafficker and smuggler in their news channel who ruins the credibility and trustworthiness of their honorable news channel which is watched by millions of people in the USA and throughout the world everyday. I had seen MR. ALIREZA JAFARZADEH in the PMOI garrisons in IRAQ many times till the fall of SADDAM HOSSEIN. He had been coming to IRAQ to participate in special gatherings and sessions which were to inform high ranking officers of the PMOI directly by the PMOI’s leaders for their next missions in foreign countries such as the USA, CANADA, and European countries.
Another factor highlighting the significance of her[Mrs.Batool Soltani] statements is that they may work to persuade other MKO/PMOI members to break their silence on the critical issue of the ideological revolution of Mojahedin. Before, some factors like resorting deliberately to passivity and refraining to pose challenges to the organization in order not to be put under the attack of terror of personality were stated on the reasons why MKO ex-members have kept quiet on the issue of the ideological revolution while the fact is that merely grabbing at biography writing is of no effect and fails to present a challenge for Mojahedin; on the contrary, it is welcome by Mojahedin who aim to cover the facts on the real nature of their cultist relations the uncovering of which is a terrible nightmare coming true for them.
