Defectors of Mujahedin khalq

Whoops! What a big gaffe in the US report!

Did Pentagon lobby for Mojahedin Khalq?

Letter to the editor
Mail on Sunday Ebrahim Khodabandeh

Mr. Geordie Greig.

An unpublished report produced by the US Library of Congress for the Department of Defense (the Pentagon), has been continuously quoted by the Mojahedin-e Khalq terrorist cult in their media since it was conveniently ‘leaked’ to the internet in January. The so-called ‘Pentagon report’ mentioned my name along with that of my brother and my sister-in-law, but because what was written was so obviously made-up to fulfill the agenda of the MEK themselves, I chose to ignore it.

Then in an article dated February 16, 2013, the British newspaper Mail-on-Sunday also referred to this report and again this has been widely used by the cult in its media. Amused by the dramatic tabloid headline "British housewife accused by the US of spying for Iran ‘to save her brother-in-law’s life’", I had a closer look to find out why this article had been published six weeks after the report was first leaked.

The US report claims that in 2002: "She (i.e. my sister in law Anne Singleton) agreed to cooperate with MOIS (Iran’s ministry of intelligence) to save her brother-in-law’s life – he (i.e. me, Ebrahim Khodabandeh) was still a member of MEK at the time."

In 2002 I was living in one of the MEK’s bases in London. This means that my life was in danger inside the MEK in the UK!

In my opinion the Mail-on-Sunday article was published specifically to cover up this gaffe. It even points to this in the title.

At the start of the article it says: "Anne Singleton, 53, is alleged to have been blackmailed into training with the Iranian secret service during a visit to Tehran in 2002. The Pentagon-commissioned report claims that Mrs Singleton and her Iranian husband, Massoud Khodabandeh, 56, agreed to work for the regime in return for saving the life of his jailed brother." [bold added]

Not only is this untrue, it is yet another gaffe. The original report did not say that I was in jail at that time and the author of the article either did not bother to read the actual report, or was probably as confused as everyone else who read it as to what it was actually trying to say.

The fact is that I was arrested in Syria and taken to prison in Iran in June 2003.

In the year 2002 I was still a member of the MEK living in their collective base in London. My brother and my sister-in-law who had both left the MEK had established the iran-interlink.org website and were active in exposing the violation of human rights inside Rajavi’s cult which had been going on for many years.

I can tell from my 23 years’ experience and as one of the key personnel in the MEK’s Foreign Affairs Department in Europe that the gaffes made in the report and in the article both originated from the MEK.

Sweden

Open letter to the Swedish parliament

Dear Mr. Per Westerberg, President of the Swedish Parliament

Members of the Swedish Parliament
Ladies and gentlemen, we are a few long serving ex-members of the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation (aka; MKO, MEK, NCRI) who have been in Mojahedin Khalq prisons because of our disagreements with the ideology and the policies of the organisation. We have all been humiliated and undergone physical and psychological tortures while inside and even after being let out of the MEK prisons. We only managed to free ourselves from the claws of the Mojahedin Khalq after the fall of the infamous dictator regime of Saddam Hussein in Iraq.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

In 1991 we witnessed the biggest co-operation between the leaders of the Mojahedin Khalq, Massoud and Maryam Rajavi, with the brutal regime of Saddam Hussein.

In a time that the Kurdish people had the chance of taking advantage of the weakness of the suppressive apparatus of Saddam. In that year when the military machine of Saddam Hussein had been severely weakened by the American forces in the first Persian Gulf war. The Kurdish forces had the best opportunity to move towards Baghdad and topple the regime of Saddam.

In March 1991 Massoud and Maryam Rajavi gave the order to massacre the Kurds with the heavy weapons given to them by Saddam and therefore stopped the Kurds from reaching Baghdad. This massacre of the Kurds is the most disgusting and shameful part of the history of this terrorist organisation during its entire existence.

The Swedish Parliament has accepted in the last few weeks to officially recognise the reality of the suffering of the Kurdish people of Iraq carried out by the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation in 1991. We believe that this just and humanitarian gesture should not be left unnoticed. We believe that other European countries should now pass similar resolutions and show their solidarity and respect for the people of Kurdistan.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

We are a few long serving ex-members of Mojahedin Khalq Organisation who have managed to survive after the fall of Saddam Hussein and now live in European countries. We are living witnesses of the crimes the Mojahedin Khalq have committed in 1991. We urge you to allow us to present ourselves to your parliament and let you know what we have seen with our own eyes. In doing so we are sure that many other aspects of this horrifying crime would be revealed.

The cult of Rajavi

Defectors bugging the Rajavis

Cult leaders often tend to claim that they are so spiritually elevated that they know the “absolute Defectors bugging the Rajavis truth” for the well-being of their followers. In this way, they apply various bizarre practices to blind the followers from observing the reality of maltreatments against them. In the cult, they are constantly kept under a sever mind control manipulative system that they cannot see their leaders abusive acts.

Once the member defects from the cult whether mentally or both mentally and physically, he realizes what has gone to him during the period of his engagement with the cult. He seriously gets motivated to denounce the cult and its leaders.

The majority of former members of the cult of Rajavi (the Mujahedin Khalq Organization/ the MKO/ MEK) are determined to reveal what they once thought as normal in the cult because of the responsibility they feel regarding the threat of the cult for both their former friends in the MKO and the humane community. Overwhelmed with feeling of anger and vengeance against Massoud and Maryam Rajavi, defectors of the MKO can help keeping silent over the human rights abuses they witnessed in the cult. Unsurprisingly, they are labeled by the cult as “agent of the Iranian regime” which is according to Mrs. Ann Singleton (a defector of the cult) a “one size fits all used to designate the victims” of the MKO [1]

Mrs. Singleton and his husband Massoud Khodabande and his brother-in-law Ebrahim are even mentioned as agents of the Iranian intelligence in the recent Pentagon report on Iranian intelligence. The misleading Pentagon report was noticeably run by the MKO’s agents in the US government. Iran Interlink offers evidences on the allegation:

The report is characterized by its mixture of allegation, assertion and allusion, much of which is not substantiated by evidence. The report blends fact and fiction in a manner intended to deceive and mislead. As such, this document is not an attack, it is a defensive act, it is a play on words intended to prevent informed discussion and stop important people being listened to. Indeed, the gratuitous mention of two specific individuals, Anne Singleton and Massoud Khodabandeh, who have consistently exposed the aspects of the Mojahedin Khalq which it most wants to hide – cult nature, human rights violations, mercenary relation to foreign agents – is the strongest possible indication of the provenance of this report.
The other indication is that the source of this specific misinformation is Rabbi Daniel M. Zucker. In a footnote the article “Disinformation Campaign in Overdrive: Iran’s VEVAK in High-Gear” is sourced at Global Politician, September 3, 2007, http://www.globalpolitician.com/23386-vevak-iran (accessed April 17, 2012). Interestingly, this website can no longer be accessed. [2]

However, the whole deceitful report –which was highly propagandized by the MKO – did not disturb the Khodabandehs. On January17, a few days after the report published Massoud Khodabandeh posted this status on his face book profile:

“I told my Mum that the Khodabandeh family was being attacked by the MEK in Washington and that she had been mentioned too. She said – I’m sure you three are more than enough for Rajavi and his cult, but if not, I’ll be happy to personally sort out Rajavi.”

For defectors denunciation of the violence committed in the MKO is kind of delightful job that helps enlighten the world community and release of their ex-comrades.

Ann singleton was among the first defectors to write about her experience with Rajavi’s Cult. She is the author of a book titled “Saddam’s Private Army”[3]. This is a sentence the review of the book published by Amazon.com:

”Told by a western woman who for twenty years had unique access to the secret inner world of the Mojahedin.”[4]

As you read on the book cover, "Saddam’s Private Army” gives a very detailed account and analysis on “How Rajavi changed Iran’s Mojahedin from armed revolutionaries to an armed cult."[5]

Regarding recently published testimonies of female former members about sexual abuse and women’s rights violations in the cult of Rajavi, Singleton’s book is perhaps the first document on the corrupt world created by Maryam and Massoud Rajavi. Singleton describes how Maryam’s ambitions lead her to promote herself in the MKO until she becomes Rajavi’s “personal assistant”. In 1984, Massoud who had been married to Firouzeh Banisadr – daughter of his then ally — divorced from her,” in this respect it is widely believed that she began a sexual relationship with Rajavi even before he divorced from Firouzeh in 1984. Singleton writes, ”She had been appointed head of Rajavi’s office and she worked closely with him in his office often not returning home at night for days. Before their marriage on 8th February 1985 Maryam hadn’t returned home to her husband Abrishamchi for several months. In this time. She had also attended a hospital in Paris for what is believed to have been a termination of pregnancy.”[6]

It took us just a few years more to learn about further violations of human rights in the MKO. Batoul Soltani, is a former member of the MKO’s so-called elite called “Leadership Council”. She bravely revealed horrifying facts about sexual abuse by Massoud Rajavi although she said that recalling those memoires is “awfully difficult” for her.[7]

Mrs. Soltani exposed a cultic ceremony in the MKO, called “Salvation Dance” (nude dancing) in which women of the “Leadership Council” were made remove their clothes in front of Massoud Rajavi and dance before him.”Get close to Massoud and unite with him”, Maryam said to dancing women.[8]

The former member of the Mojahedin Leadership Council added “They had portrayed the issue of having [sexual] relations with Massoud Rajavi in such a way that it appeared to us as the most sacred task. Mas’ud Rajavi also used verses from the Koran to justify his behavior.”[9]

A few months ago, Soltani together with two other former members, Zahra Mirbaqeri and Nasrin Ebrahimi once again denounced the MKO by receiving a list of 100 female members of the group who have gone under hysterectomy to be sexually abused by the Cult leader, Massoud Rajavi.[10]

Nasrin Ebrahimi had previously revealed that Rajavi had entitled the operation to remove women’s womb as “Summit”[11] referring to women’s extreme devotion to their leader. They lose their final sign of sexuality and motherhood, or as Mrs. Singleton says” to neutralize their sexuality”.[12]

Mir Baqeri said that the surgical operations were carried out to take out the victims’ wombs so that they would not be pregnant after being raped by Rajavi.[13]

Women of the Leadership Council were given a necklace on which Massoud’s portrait was graved earlier than they were made married with him. Zahra Mir Baqeri has one of the necklaces to show those who are concerned.

“Maryam Rajavi invented rituals such as being washed by other women members so as to ‘spiritually purify’ them, followed by the instruction to dance naked before both the Rajavis to prove they had ‘broken the physical and mental barriers’ to their total submission to Massoud. After these coercive practices, he would choose a bedmate for sex. The women have said that they did not agree to sex with Rajavi out of free will but because they had been coerced through deception into submitting to what they later came to recognize as rape.”, Ann singleton notifies.[14]

As she suggests:
“The facts are easily verifiable. The physical evidence of hysterectomy can be found in the women’s bodies. It is a matter of fact, not opinion. And if those who managed to escape the cult have evidence consistent with their accusations, does it not behove those people actually responsible for their welfare to conduct an investigation into the condition of the other named women in the MEK who are trapped incommunicado in (the ironically named) Camp Liberty.”[15]

There may be a much longer list of abuses committed in the Cult of Rajavi, as some of them were already reported by Human Rights Watch in 2005. This is what terribly disturbs the leaders of the MKO. To defend themselves they have no way except using their old tactic, labeling them “agent of regime”. Such reaction cheers defectors up as they see that they’ve been successful to bug the cult leaders.

Iranians critical of MEK terrorist group seek protection

An open letter has been written by Iranians resident in France to French authorities asking for protection against the Mojahedin Khalq terrorist operatives in that country. The letter shows how a two of Saddam's torturers, Mehdi Abrishamchi and Mohammad Mohaddessin fabricated report by the MEK said to be from The Pentagon is being used to legitimise the physical elimination of critics and survivors of the Rajavi cult.

The report names two of Saddam’s torturers, Mehdi Abrishamchi and Mohammad Mohaddessin, now posing as human rights activists in France, as part of an orchestrated attack by the Mojahedin aimed at eliminating

Dénonciation du « mensonge pentagonien » de Radjavi contre les repentis et les dissidents Iraniens

Lettre de l’association d’Aria adressée aux autorités française et au parlement européen

Paris, le 16 janvier 2013

Mesdames, Messieurs,

Chers présidents,

Depuis le début de l’année 2013, l’organisation des moudjahiddines du peuple d’Iran (OMPI) et ses différentes divisions ont lancé une vaste campagne spectaculaire contre les iraniens libéraux et les repentis de cette organisations.

Les leaders des moudjahiddines cherchent à neutraliser l’effet que les efforts des iraniens et des repentis peut avoir dans le sens de l’éclaircissement de l’opinion publique c’est pourquoi ils essayent de dévier les intentions en accusant les repentis et les iraniens libéraux de collaborer avec les gardiens de Qods et les agents iraniens de renseignements. De cette manière, les leaders des moudjahiddines etoufferont leurs dissidents à jamais.

Le dernier projet mensonger de l’OMPI s’est affiché dans le grand rapport légendaire Pantagonien ( !) sur le ministère iranien des renseignements dont seule, l’OMPI prétend son existance. Or, à ce jour aucun rapport de cette nature n’a pas été publié ni par le Pantagone et ni par le Congrès !

Mais l’OMPI ayant installé la base de ses activités terroristes en Auvers sur Oise, avec ses lobbies, a essayé de compléter son tableau de mensonges en falsifiant les logos et la signature de Pantagone afin de mieux vendre ses contrevérités.

Lorsque Massoud Radjavi et ses séctateurs ont subis l’echec juridique au tribunal de Paris sans pouvoir brader leurs accusations à travers d’un ouvrage signé par Monsieur Yves Bonnet et sans parvenir à convaincre leurs vieux lobbies habituels au parlement européen, alors ils transferent le centre de leurs chantages immoraux aux Etats Unis pour épingler ce faux rapport aux autres récits anti iraniens dont cette organisation est la productrice. D’ailleurs ce prétendu rapport est resté un énigme car aucune institution Etatique ne l’a approuvé. Il est évident que ce rapport restera dans le tiroir du bureaux des soi disant politiciens qui reçoivent 160 milles de dollars pour dix minutes de présence et de discours aux côtés de Maryam Radjavi !

Depuis quelques années, les moudjahiddines multiplient les efforts afin de limiter les activités de leurs dissidents. Pour cette fin, ils ont rencontré quelques colonels américains en les invitant à Paris pour rendre visite à Maryam Radjavi. Mais ces visites n’ont pas apporté le résultat recherché par les Radjavistes alors ils décident de solder leurs lobbies américains en faisant publier ce faux rapport dans les divers journaux sous le couvert d’une annonce publicitaire qui comprend une nouvelle sécuritaire et ultra importante venant de nulle part ! La télévision de CNN diffuse également cette annonce alors que le contenu parle d’un rapport fictif élaboré par le Congrès, le département d’Etat et le Pantagone ! Il est évident que le seul objectif d’un telle manœuvre consiste à terroriser les autorités européennes de sécurité et par conséquent isoler les dissidents de l’OMPI dans le continent vert.

Suite à la diffusion de cette annonce, les moudjahiddines ont orchestré une série de fanfares anti iraniens et anti repentis, en mobilisant leurs lobbies européens qui se réfèrent à la publicité de CNN pour exiger l’expulsion des repentis et des dissidents de l’OMPI, systématiquement présentés par cette organisation comme les agents iraniens de renseignements installés en Europe. Dans ce même sens, le comité parlementaire britanique avec la direction de Lord David Wddington et le groupe parlementaire des amis d’un Iran libres en Belgique, et certains mercenaires français étant dirigés par Massoud et Maryam Radjavi, Mehdi Abrishamtchi et Mohammad Seyed Almohadessine sous le couvert d’un groupe intitulé «les deux assemblés de l’Angleterre et du parlement européen » exigent l’expulsion de la famille ‘’ Khodabandeh’’ de l’Angleterre et l’association d’ARIA de la France.

Chers responsables

Après les recherches menées aux Etats Unis, en Allemagne, en France et en Belgique, il s’avère que ce prétendu rapport de Pantagone n’existe pas réellement et c’est une tentative de manipulation dont les moudjahiddines engage via leurs réseaux dans les divers pays afin de noircir leurs dissidents et d’autres militants de l’opposition iranienne en Europe. Or, le contenu de ce rapport se trouve exactement dans les différentes publications et communiqués de l’OMPI, étant répétés dans de multiples reprises par la télévision des moudjahiddines.

Le brouhaha des moudjahiddines, leurs objectifs et la terreur morale des dissidents

Les moudjahiddines tentent de manipuler l’opinion publique et atteindre les objectifs suivants :

Terroriser les dissidents, les repentis et les iraniens libéraux avec les accusations infondées telles qu’ agents iraniens de renseignements …

Semer la terreur, sacrifier et exercer la pression sur leurs adversaires politiques afin d’évacuer le champ

Dévier et falsifier des actualités à leur gré pour s’échapper à la responsabilité de 30 années de terreur en Iran, en Irak et en Europe

Fuir le grand échec en Irak

Se venger de la démolition de l’organisation des moudjahiddines du peuple avec la chute de Saddam

Se venger aveugelement des repentis, des dissidents et des iraniens n’ayant pas souhaité d’approuver les démarches anti patriotiques de cette organisation

Se venger des familles des victimes et des membres refugiés au camp de Liberty

Souffler sur la braise des faucons en Occident

La vigilance des Etats et les autorités de sécurité

Avec un regard sur les dix dernières années, nous constatons facilement que les efforts des iraniens, des repentis et des dissidents de l’OMPI ont joué un rôle significatif dans la représentation de la réalité de cette organisation sectaire. Tous les services sécuritaires des pays européens ont également pu réaliser que les propagandes de l’OMPI contre ses dissidents ne servent qu’à fuir la vérité que les moudjahiddines n’ont jamais voulu admettre.

Les activités des iraniens et des associations opposés au terrorisme Rdjaviste , de l’Irak à l’Europe ont été clairement exercées dans le cadre de « la loi 1901 relative aux associations » et avec la permission de la police locale. Contrairement aux shows de Radjavi, pour aucune des activités socioculturelles des repentis et leurs amis , les mauvais acteurs des film de James Band n’ont pas été engagés par contre la police et la loi ont convenablement apporté leur soutien à ces efforts. Alors les acharnements de Radjavi contre ses dissidents sont constitués autours de plusieurs accusations infondées, de mensonges et de terreur morale dont ils peuvent être jugés par les tribunaux européens.

L’association d’Aria souhaite alerter les autorités judiciaires et sécuritaires de la France et d’autres pays européens en insistant sur le fait que toutes ces manœuvres sont conçues ,programmées et soutenues par les commandants des moudjahiddines installés aisement en Auvers sur Oise. Selon le communiqué du département d’Etat américain ces terroristes expérimentés (les moudjahiddines) ayat été expressément désarmés par les forces américaines après l’invasion de l’Irak n’ont vraiment pas renoncés à leurs manières terroristes et ils ont repris les mêmes méthodes terroristes dans la persécution de leurs dissidents en leurs faisant subir des harcelements moraux et juridiques.

Nous sommes prêts à dénoncer toutes activités terroristes des moudjahiddines dans les tribunaux français et demandons que les autorités françaises prennent les mesures nécessaires pour arrêter la machine de terreur véhiculée par les mensonges de cette organisation en Auvers sur Oise. La machination de Radjavi dégrade la tranquilité, l’esprit et les biens des iraniens dissidents de l’OMPI en les rendant plus accessibles aux menaces et aux dangers dont les sectaires Radjavistes peuvent leur causer !

Former members of the MEK

MKO ex-members provide testimony to Kurd genocide

With the Swedish Parliament passing a resolution acknowledging the massacre of Kurdish people by Iraq in 1991, former Rajavi cult escaped members have sent a letter to Swedish Parliament Speaker, Per Westerberg to provide testimony to role played by MKO Kurd genocide.

“We, the writers of this letter, are from Iran and living in Europe, defectors from this Iranian group MEK led by Masoud Rajavi. The majority of us have each spent more than twenty years of physical and mental prison,” reads the letter.

“Recent humanitarian act by Swedish Parliament on condemning killing of Kurds by MEK members gives the impetus for us to provide witness to MEK crimes in Iraq in 1991,” says the letter. “We have been witness to Masoud Rajavi’s and Maryam Qajar Azdanlu’s order on killing Kurds. In those days of waging war against the Iraqi Kurds, Maryam Rajavi ordered the MEK armed forces to “run over the Kurds by tanks and save your bullets for killing of Iranian soldiers beyond borders”.

“We declare that it was Maryam Rajavi’s voice giving orders. In the brutal suppression of the Kurds, Masoud Rajavi told his followers in a meeting that Iraqi authorities hailed and thanked him for the killing of the Kurds and putting down their uprising in Kafra, Tuz Khormatu, Kara Teppe, Qasre Shirin, etc.,” claims the report.

Furthermore, the letter adds that we, the defectors, having escaped the organization lead by Masoud and Maryam Rajaviin and its formal and horrific atmosphere governing it, decided to expose the crimes by this cult, in an attempt to stop killings of individuals by the cult.

“Therefore; in order to shed light on Rajavi’s involvement in killings of the Kurds in Iraq during Saddam’s era, we are ready and willing to provide you with witnesses and documentation for this cause,” the letter continues.

France

French Assembly, Why did you invite Maryam Rajavi?

Mr Claude Bartolone, President of the French National Assembly ,

We regretted the presence of Mrs Maryam Rajavi, leader of the People’s Mojahedin Khalq Organization, in the French National Assembly on Wednesday 4th December, 2012, a person whose hands are smeared with the blood of the best people of our motherland, Iran. Unfortunately, some of the Mojahedin’s lobbyists, who are representatives of the French people, have been deceived by Maryam Rajavi’s lies and they invited her to the French National Assembly.

Mr President

When Mrs Maryam Rajavi speaks about human rights, you should know that there are 3200 MEK members who have been held captive in Iraq in Camp Liberty on her direct order. Of this total more than half are willing to return to their normal life, if allowed their freedom. Currently, members who show any hint of dissent and those who want to separate from the MEK will be severely and brutally beaten on the direct order of Massoud and Maryam Rajavi. Since these people have been relocated to Camp Liberty, more than 50 of them have succeeded in escaping and have rescued themselves from that camp. The obstacles and obstructions which the MEK has created, has resulted in failure of their refugee process in Iraq. The representative of your honorable country in the United Nations and the Security Council’s sessions have witnessed that Mr Martin Kobler, the UN’s special envoy, has complained many times at the lack of MEK cooperation in solving this humanitarian matter. On the other hand, for more than two years the families of MEK members have been asking for a one or two hour meeting with their loved ones. They have established a sit-in in front of the camp, but unfortunately they have been denied meeting with their loved ones on the direct order of Massoud and Maryam Rajavi.

Mr President,

In the French National Assembly, which is the symbol of French democracy and human rights, Mrs Maryam Rajavi speaks about human rights while dissidents inside the MEK are being killed on the direct order of Massoud and Maryam Rajavi. In this regard, I can mention the names of women such as Mehry Moussavi, Minoo Fathali, Marjan Akbarian, Zahra Faizbakhsh, Homa Bashardoost, Allan Mohammadi, and others and men such as Saeed Kiani, Kiomarz Barforosh, Alinaghi Hadad, and others. In this regard my friends and I who have witnessed these crimes, are ready to testify in any court of law. The MEK, which has not gained power in Iran, massacres its own members. Any Iranian opposition group or organization which wants to criticize the MEK will be faced with bullying aggression and intimidation tactics by the MEK and suffer character assassination; and they will receive death threats from the MEK. None of the Iranian opposition groups which reside in Europe and the USA cooperate with them because of their cultic and violent behavior. The National Council of Resistance, the MEK’s public political face, which comprises MEK commanders and operatives, does not have any popularity among Iranian people. Now, Mrs Maryam Rajavi with this kind of background and record, requests the same kind of recognition and accreditation as the Syrian opposition from the French government!

We former MEK members, with 20-30 years of living in the MEK, who were able to rescue ourselves from the MEK after the downfall of Saddam Hussein and who are currently living in France, would like to alert you to the facts of this situation.

Respectfully
the voice of libertée

The MEK; Baath Party Accomplice

Defectors to Testify MKO’s Massacre of Kurds

The defected members of the terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO also known as the MEK, PMOI and NCR) voiced their preparedness to go to the Swedish parliament to give a testimony about MKO’s key role in the massacre of Iraqi Kurds during the rule of executed dictator Saddam Hussein.

"In order to shed light on (Massoud) Rajavi’s involvement in the killings of the Kurds in Iraq during Saddam’s era, we are ready and willing to provide you (the Swedish parliament) with witness accounts and documents in this cause," the Iranian Pen Association said in an open letter to the Swedish Parliament Speaker, Per Westerberg.

The full text of the letter is as follows:

Greetings,

In a brave and humanitarian move, the Swedish Parliament passed a resolution on 5 December, 2012 acknowledging the massacre of Kurdish people. We as members of the Iran Pen Association salute this decision by the Swedish Parliamentarians and ask you to set up further investigations and research into the disastrous killings of Kurds, so that more people around the world would learn and realize how badly the Kurds have suffered under tyranny and therefore; similar atrocities against them in future could be prevented.

Among the ruling regimes in the Region which have suppressed the Kurdish people, Iraq’s ousted dictator Saddam Hussein had committed the most savage crimes. Especially, by the chemical bombardment of the town of Halabche and later by attacking the Kurds with heavy weapons and artillery, tanks and missiles when they rose up against Saddam’s despotic rule at the end of the Kuwait War. In fact, it was in this very brutal war against the Kurds that Saddam Hussein used the Iranian group of PMOI/MEK armed forces to savagely suppress the Kurds’ uprising and widespread massacres followed.

We, the writers of this letter, are from Iran Pen Association in Europe that consists of defectors from this Iranian group PMOI/MEK led by Massoud Rajavi. Our activities include Human Rights promotion and helping Iranian refugees. The majority of us have each spent more than twenty years inside Rajavi’s cult in Iraq and each one of us is a living witness and has abundant experience and knowledge of the PMOI/MEK leadership (Massoud and Maryam Rajavi), its cult nature, terrorist activities and its rule of terror, deceit and humiliation inside the Organization and also its grave involvement in massacre of Iraqi Kurds.

After the brutal suppression of the Kurds, Massoud Rajavi told his followers in a meeting in Iraq that Saddam’s deputy, Ezat Ibrahim, had personally hailed and thanked him for the killing of the Kurds and putting down their uprising. Furthermore, in video tapes discovered of meetings between Massoud Rajavi and General Haboush (the chief of Saddam’s secret Intelligence Service), Haboush thanked Rajavi for suppressing the Kurds and told Rajavi that he was then considered as a member of Saddam’s Baath Party leadership. In those days of waging war against the Iraqi Kurds, Maryam Rajavi ordered the PMOI/MEK armed forces to "run over the Kurds by tanks".

The truth and reality is that due to the religious-cult nature of the PMOI/MEK, the extent and depth of its crimes in and outside the Cult, including its involvement in bloody massacre of Kurds; has still mainly remained uncovered and untold. Therefore; in order to shed light on Rajavi’s involvement in killings of the Kurds in Iraq during Saddam’s era, we are ready and willing to provide you with witnesses and documentation for this cause.

With best wishes for Christmas and a New Year of Peace and Freedom.

Yours sincerely,
Iran Pen Association

Human Rights Abuse in the MEK

MKO Ringleaders Abuse Female Members Sexually

Those female members of the anti-Iran terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO also known as the MEK, PMOI and NCR) who were residing in Camp Ashraf, the former training center of the group in Iraq, were abused by the MKO ringleaders sexually, a defected member revealed on Monday.

According to a report by Ashraf News website, Zahra Sadat Mir-Baqeri, one of the defected leaders of the MKO, said that she has some information about the sexual abuse of female members by the main ringleader of the terrorist group, Massoud Rajavi.

"Rajavi abused women in the Camp Ashraf sexually and there is a list of 100 young girls and women who had gone under surgical operations to be raped by Rajavi," she said.

Mir-Baqeri said that the surgical operations were carried out to take out the victims’ wombs so that they would not be pregnant after being raped by Rajavi. This is while they were falsely told that they needed surgical operations for being infected with anemia or kidney problems.

Earlier, a human rights group expressed deep concerns about the deteriorating conditions of over 3,000 members of the MKO who are under torture and harassment by the leaders of the group in Camp Ashraf in Northern Iraq.

In March 2011, another defected member of the MKO revealed that the female members of the group have been living under captivity for more than 25 years and are not even allowed to appear in public places alone.

"It can be firmly said that 95% of the women in Ashraf Camp (the terrorist group’s resort in Iraq) have not even been allowed to step in Iraq’s public and recreational places alone all throughout the last 25 years," the defected member said.

Many of the MKO members abandoned the terrorist organization while most of those still remaining in the grouplet are said to be willing to quit but are under pressure and torture not to do so.

A May 2005 Human Rights Watch report accused the MKO of running prison camps in Iraq and committing human rights violations.

According to the Human Rights Watch report, the outlawed group puts defectors under torture and jail terms.

The group, founded in the 1960s, blended elements of Islamism and Stalinism and participated in the overthrow of the US-backed Shah of Iran in 1979. Ahead of the revolution, the MKO conducted attacks and assassinations against both Iranian and Western targets.

The group started assassination of the citizens and officials after the revolution in a bid to take control of the newly-established Islamic Republic. It killed several of Iran’s new leaders in the early years after the revolution, including the then President, Mohammad Ali Rajayee, Prime Minister, Mohammad Javad Bahonar and the Judiciary Chief, Mohammad Hossein Beheshti who were killed in bomb attacks by MKO members in 1981.

The group fled to Iraq in 1986, where it was protected by Saddam Hussein and where it helped the Iraqi dictator suppress Shiite and Kurd uprisings in the country.

The terrorist group joined Saddam’s army during the Iraqi imposed war on Iran (1980-1988) and helped Saddam and killed thousands of Iranian civilians and soldiers during the US-backed Iraqi imposed war on Iran.

Since the 2003 US invasion of Iraq, the group, which now adheres to a pro-free-market philosophy, has been strongly backed by neo-conservatives in the United States, who argued for the MKO to be taken off the US terror list.

The US formally removed the MKO from its list of terror organizations in early September, one week after Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sent the US Congress a classified communication about the move. The decision made by Clinton enabled the group to have its assets under US jurisdiction unfrozen and do business with American entities, the State Department said in a statement at the time.

In September 2012, the last groups of the MKO terrorists left Camp Ashraf, their main training center in Iraq’s Diyala province. They have been transferred to Camp Liberty which lies Northeast of the Baghdad International Airport.

Camp Liberty is a transient settlement facility and a last station for the MKO in Iraq.
