Is there anyone to help the families of MKO terrorists’ hostages? Part2

After ten months of picketing in front of Ashraf garrison:

Is there anyone to help the families whose loved ones have been taken hostage (by Washington backed Mojahedin Khalq aka; MKO, MEK, NCRI, Rajavi cult) terrorists?

Rajavi cult’s powerful speakers used to stop voices of families from reaching the hostages

Families according to the pictures:

ten months of picketing in front of Ashraf garrison

Never ending wait with the hope of visiting loved ones – the gates of Camp Ashraf base of the Rajavi cult in Iraq where over 3,000 people have been taken hostage by Massoud Rajavi the cult leader. He is openly threatening to massacre them (he calls it the Ashoura of the Mojahedin!!)
Ms. Soraya Abdollahi, the mother of one of the hostages who has been picketing in front of the gates of Ashraf Camp for the last 10 months, has announced that she will not leave until given access to her son. She is welcoming the arrival of new families. More elderly men and women and more children are arriving. Rajavi calls them the ‘special forces of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards’. As if they are coming with their machine guns and missile launchers ready to attack the camp!

Will you never become tired? How long are you going to wait? Do you really believe that in this dirty international political world there is a place for such a thing as human rights? Don’t you think that as the political interests of some at this moment of time dictate, right now the interest of the invaders of the land of Iraq suggests that the west should support the terrorists in continuing their human rights abuse and using your children as gladiators and slaves in their terror campaign to serve their backers in the west?

Our children are kept only a few hundred meters from us. Could they not allow them to come nearer to the barbed wire so we can see them after all these years? As you can see in the picture the barbed wire is designed to keep people inside and not to run away (as a prison) and is not designed to protect the camp from intruders trying to get in. It is easy to see Camp Ashraf is a prison without visiting rights.

The distance between the families and their loved ones is filled with barbed wire, trenches, walls, surveillance posts, surveillance vehicles etc. Can the hand held loud speakers take our voices to our loved ones? Do they know that we are still sitting behind the wire? Do they have the same feeling as we do?

A father is saying that he is hopeful that as this palm tree is growing here, Rajavi’s heart would soften enough to let our children free

Families are planting new trees. A father is saying that he is hopeful that as this palm tree is growing here, Rajavi’s heart would soften enough to let our children free. How long is he intending to keep our children hostage?

The leaders of the garrison have placed powerful loud speakers between the families and the inside of the camp. The speakers are facing towards the inside of the camp, clearly demonstrating that this action is intended to stop the voices of the families from reaching the hostages inside. It is interesting that while Rajavi is doing this, he is also claiming that Ahmad Razani (murdered in the camp a couple of days ago) has committed suicide under the pressure of the loudspeakers used by the families. It is clear from the picture that the powerful loud speakers used by the cult (much more powerful than the ones used by the families) are facing toward the inside of the camp. The simple question is why Rajavi and his cult are so desperately frightened of the voices of the families and so afraid of their presence?

Mujahedin Khalq Organization members' families

MKO hostages’ Families on Their Ninth Month of Picketing

The Records:
After Saddam Hussein’s dictatorship, the main sponsor of Massoud Rajavi was toppled, a ray of hope lit the hearts of the families of the members of MKO (Rajavi cult). They thought that with Saddam Hussein removed from power in Iraq, the gates of Ashraf garrison would be open to the families and they would be able to see their loved ones after many years of waiting.

This hope soon faded when after a short time the American Forces took the place of Saddam Hussein for the Rajavi cult and gave the cult leaders an open hand to create the same circumstances for their followers. The report published by the American institute RAND for the Defense Department fully exposes the support of some American commanders for the cult’s leaders to be able to keep their followers imprisoned inside Ashraf garrison.

Since the conditions for travelling to Iraq became easier, many suffering families of the members of the destructive, terrorist cult (MKO), from various parts of the world and in different timings, approached Ashraf gates in Iraq and tried their chance to see their loved ones. Some visited several times through the years and got no results.
During this time the families who were attending outside Ashraf gate either returned empty handed or the cult leaders would make the particular member insult the family and complain why they have become the agent of the Iranian regime and why they intend to destroy Ashraf?!

Family Sit-in Starts:
In February 2009 some families of the trapped members of the Rajavi cult, as in previous times during the past few years, approached Ashraf gate and demanded visits with their relatives. The immoral attitude of cult officials and even attempting to beat up the families created great concern in them for the fate of their relatives. Some decided to form a picket line along the main entrance of Ashraf garrison and they announced that they would not be moved until they see their loved ones. Later more families joined them and gradually a movement preceded which has continued until now.

Many hardships such as expiring visas and limitations that the Iraqi government and U.S. forces imposed on the families made life for the families very tough – so that Massoud Rajavi said that the families would not stand for more than 20 days.

Since the families’ move to the front of Ashraf gate was spontaneous and without any previous planning, no precise date was recorded for its start. Regarding the residential hardship, some families returned to Iran but more families took their place and continued the picketing.

The New Round of Sahar Activities:
In June 2010, that is after 4 months had passed, the families’ move created increased motivation amongst the human rights activists in Europe and America, in particular amongst the former members of the MKO who were active in trying to help their former colleagues. This ended in the formation of a seminar in Paris on 19 June 2010. In this seminar Ms. Batul Soltani, a former member of the MKO leadership council and a founder of SFF who is residing in Europe now had a telephone conversation with Ms. Sorayya Abdullahi, a suffering mother of a captive member inside Ashraf garrison and the representative of picketing families. This dialogue was heard by the audience on both sides of the line. This seminar became a milestone for the activities round the demand of the families in Iraq, Europe and America.

The public activities of SFF declined a little since it has been more involved in legal activities on behalf of former members’ complains against the MKO in the Iraqi courts as well as having some officials moving to Europe. It must be said too that we were caught by surprise by the families’ action. But after this seminar and with the new form of Sahar website, our activities found a new pace with regards of informing the public about the families.

From the beginning, the families stationed outside Ashraf garrison approached the MKO officials and demanded to see their relatives, but every time they faced a humiliating attitude. The families decided initially to not seek any publicity over the issue in order to raise their chances of seeing their cherished ones. But the cult leaders started a political confrontation against the families by insulting them and threatening them and also accusing them.

The cult leaders clearly proved that they do not understand logic and they must be forced to respect other people’s rights as well as their own members’ rights by the public opinion and international organizations. Rajavi showed everyone that he finds himself right on all grounds and has no respect for other people’s ideas and emotions. He acts according to his cultic reactionary ideas and ruthlessly makes an old mother suffer and does not recognize any human rights.

Sized members flee from Ashraf:
During the past year, that is since the Iraqi police force managed to establish posts inside the entrances of the Ashraf cult garrison, a substantial number of members attempted to escape from the camp. These members, some of whom have been held captive inside the garrison for more than a quarter of a century, have had a bitter experience. They have no idea about modern science and technology and do not know anything about the outside world. Worse than all, they were in a critical mental situation after so many years of brainwashing and mind manipulation. They were afraid of anyone outside the cult and considered everything out there to be satanic and corrupt. Some of them were even afraid to give their names and they used to think that they are still under the influence of the cult. Some, even one year after leaving Ashraf, still have nightmares about there. But they are all content that they are out now and they only worry about their former colleagues who are still there.

Some of those who attempted to escape did so with the assumption that they might be tortured and then executed either by the Iraqis or by the Iranians. Some after spending one year in a hotel in Baghdad are still not ready to have their names published and do not wish to contact their families. Some say, in particular the women, that they do not have the nerve to see their relatives.

This applies to the families who are picketing outside the Ashraf garrison too. They do not wish to be photographed or for their names to be published. They clearly say that they do not want anyone to know that their relatives – who everyone thought had been missing in the war or has been martyred – have actually been helping Rajavi and Saddam Hussein.
What must be done?

On the one hand the issue of the MKO is a national security problem for the Iraqi government. As they say, this difficulty is a heritage from Saddam Hussein for the people of Iraq. The Iraqis want them out of their country but so far they have not been able to remove them. On the other hand this cult could be used by the U.S. or Israel against Iran. At least some elements in the west think that they might be useful as they are ready to use terrorists on the borders of Iran, so they try to preserve the cultic relationship and keep the members captive inside the garrison. But as far as the families are concerned they only have a legitimate humanitarian demand.

The families have every right to have free access to their relatives inside the garrison which is approved by all international regulations. If we consider the inhabitants of Ashraf as prisoners, still they have the right of free contact with their next of kin.

Apparently these families have no one but God to help them. No one can expect anything from the governments of the US, Iraq, Iran or etc. It is clear that international organizations such as the UN or ICRC have, for some reason, turned their back to this humanitarian problem and have closed their eyes. The families of course have created an extensive example of resistance with their bare hands which moves every human being. At least the families have prevented more people falling into the trap of the Rajavi cult. Rajavi has used the US soldiers to put pressure on the families who have come from very long distances just for a family visit. Rajavi of course has stopped investing in the Iranian people for his goal to reach to power in Iran and tries hard to attract support from the US and from Israel.

Those who really understand the situation of the families are the ones who also have someone in Ashraf garrison. The families and the former members whose relatives or friends are held captive there and have no way out, understand well that a tragic cultic ending the same as the cults of Jim Jones and David Koresh, or becoming like gladiators in modern slavery who must kill until they get killed, could threaten their loved ones.

In whatever county that you are, anywhere that you work and live, any thoughts or ideas that you have, any political stances that you might hold, it is necessary to let the world know about this human rights issue and act in any way you can. Rajavi and his international backers must be put under the pressure of public opinion. He is not prepared to recognize the rights of the families and his own followers and under the present political circumstances does whatever he desires.

We in the SFF who are facing the problem directly know that we have not done enough and we had to do much more than this. We do need help from those who understand our situation. Please don’t let the resistance of the families not reach the desired results. The sit-in by the families is a humanitarian move. Let’s share their cause by helping them.
Please let us know your opinion.

Human Rights Abuse in the MEK

The disarmament and consequences for Rajavi’s Cult

The disarmament of MKO forces by coalition forces in Iraqi Freedom Operation was one of the most problematic phases in the organization’s history.

After the fall of Saddam Hussein and the arrival of US military to Ashraf garrison, MKO leaders Mahmoud Dashtestani - MKO former member made significant changes in their policy in order to maintain their garrison. To be able to prolong their stay in Iraq, they shifted their agenda to get close to "Enemy", because they needed to maintain Ashraf at any cost even the cost of violating the principals of the organization! The only way left to keep Ashraf was to get along with the American’s policy. MKO was classified as a foreign terrorist group so admitting the relationship with MKO by US was seriously doubted.

Although Iraqi people seriously opposed the existence of MKO in their territory, neither MKO nor US paid attention to them.

The huge turn in MKO’s policy regarding US was not acceptable to a large number of ranks who were not aware of the group’s equations with the world. The leaders of the group thought of making some excuses to repair the minds of those who had hesitated to obey the new policies, so they started holding daily political meetings. During the meetings they had to answer a lot of questions crossed members’ minds like:"what does an army without arm mean?" "Why don’t we give up?" "What are we hopeful for?" or "You said and you are still saying that struggling without arm is meaningless, so what happened to those slogans?" and etc.

Meanwhile, the argument on "family" was brought about. The leaders were sure that if the notion of family had been revived in the minds of members, they could have no longer stayed in the camp. This fact terrified the leaders who had to encounters various problems in the camp.

Thus the disarmament of Mujahedin Khalq Organization became the key factor to break the spell of the members’ minds. They started thinking about their past and future which seemed catastrophic to the leaders. It was just like an enzyme called family that affects all political, strategic and organizational lines in MKO. Eight years past that time, the leaders of cult are still incapable of controlling those minds that are seeking family and future.

Today the families who are on strike at Ashraf gates are not allowed to visit their children but their presence is like an encouragement for Ashraf captives who see them near to themselves. They see a number of people thinking of them. They find out that family and love are not dead, although Rajavi wants to kill them.

The Rajavis may be able to penetrate Iraqi political parties and members of its parliament; they may succeed in buying the votes of Iraqi tribe leaders spending large amounts; they may be able to destabilize the political scene of Iraq in their own favor by working with US intelligence, to maintain Ashraf Garrison for a few more days but they never succeed to bar members’ emotions and love. A day will come when the emotions will be so powerful that will cope with the whole money and deception the Rajavis spend. That day is not far away.

The disarmament was the turning point that made the members think of the outside world. They thought of the life they had wasted in MKO. They thought of the trap they had been taken in.

If they are defenders of human right, why they keep elderly parents and young children out of the camp and prevent them from visiting their loved ones?

I remember they told us:"we delivered the arms to take care of the arm owners" but I know the fact was something else. Rajavi never concerns about the lives of people. The fact was that Rajavi knew that his absolute power over his organization system would disappear if he didn’t deliver the arms. He didn’t think of his ranks at all. He just chanted these slogans to deceive our minds, the minds of me and my comrades who used to adore him but his lies worked for only two years then everything broke down in our minds…

USA

Mr. Sarrafpour Letter to the US Secretary of States concerning MKO

Honorable Secretary State of United States of America,

Greeting, Mr. Sarrafpour Letter to the US Secretary of States concerning MKO
I am a former MKO member with over 22 years presence in Iraq and I also spent approximately four years at one of United States of America Military Camps in "Khaales" region in Iraq (Close to Ashraf Camp) after Iraq invasion. During this period I have witnessed a great deal of injustice, oppression, psychological and physical pressures by the leaders of the MKO organization on its own members. Furthermore, during this period, I have closely observed and heard all the Political and religious positions taken by MKO leader Massoud Rajavi. Unfortunately, it is a pity for me to let you know that the political and religious remarks made by MKO leader and his wife Maryam Rajavi similarity, contrast clearly with their remarks shown up or said in highly classified inter-organizational documents. In other words, what you and outside world leader hear from the leadership of MKO does not fit what they present inside their cult. Furthermore, their idea of dominating and leading the world expressed daily in all internal meeting, is one that you and other world politician can never hear.

The Leaders of MKO cult know very well (unlike Taliban and Al-Qaida leader), the need to choose the most beautiful humanitarian words in order to penetrate and perhaps dominate global opinion poll and consequently get acceptance by modern world’s political system as main opposition or alternative to their suppressive totalitarian partners of Islamic Republic of Iran. As an example, despite their effort to claim a humanitarian face for their organization that stand for equal rights for women’s and minorities in Western world, they have been imposing the most difficult pressure on Mujahed women internally, including, one of the most awful form of Gender Separation within their campus in Iraq. Consequently, as part of their policy of policy of gender separation, even gas station and water treatment plants are both divided by male and female section, not to mention that women hospitals are completely separated from men’s hospital. Furthermore, MKO has also restricted walking in public places including campus’ park, museum and even the cemetery to certain hours for women and separately for men to avoid any cross gender contact, perhaps a step farther than Taliban in gender separation. Of course, Massoud Rajavi officially stated (on September 11, 2001) that if al-Qaida with its fundamentalist Islam can do such an act (September 11th Tragedy), we can do much bigger acts with our revolutionary Islam. apparently such a gender separation is one of his achievement!! And of course, I have no doubt he will pursue his idea of forming a haram of all Mujahed women whether he will able to rise to power. From the perspective of Massoud Rajavi, all the women are just her confidante and must be separated from their families. This was exactly his hypothesis that we were told when in Ashraf Campus.

Dear Ms. Clinton,

The leaders of MKO cult has been already following the policy of disintegration of families to gain full control on their members and perhaps could be more dangerous than Taliban or Iranian Suppressive government whether they could rise to power. As a proof of my statement, the doors of "Ashraf Campus" in Iraq has been closed to the families who come from all over the world to visit their loved ones for very long time and MKO leader forbid the basic visitation right for its members’ family. Even though, I am a living example, spending 22 years in "Ashraf Campus" since my teen years and forbidden to contact any family member, I think, I rather give you another example to show the depth of this tragedy. A clear example is "Maryam Babaii" a 22 years old girl whose father was captured by Sadam Hossein (during Iran Iraq war) just 3 month before Maryam’s birth. After spending some time in Iraqi prison and as part of deal between MKO and Sadam, which allow any Iranian POW joining MKO, Mr. Babaii joined MKO to avoid persecution by Iraq. Mr. Babaii is still in "Ashraf Campus" and was not allowed to contact his family. Two years ago, this young girl (Maryam) hears that his father is alive. During this period MKO leader did not allowed Mr. Babai even be aware of his family and daughter. Maryam thought his father was killed in the war … After hearing that her father is alive, Maryam and her Grandfather went to Iraq and demanded to meet her father however, MKO leadership deny such permission to Maryam and her grandfather to meet Maryam’s father. It is now over two years that this innocent girl who has never seen her father, goes to "Ashraf Campus" shedding tears and looking forward to meet her father even for an hour, just to be rejected.

Dear Ms. Clinton,

You are a mother yourself and I am sure you understand the feeling of this young girl (Maryam) and her old grandfather to meet the father of this young girl. Why MKO leaders panic to allow a father that after 22 years still have not seen her daughter, reunite even for an hour with his family? The truth is that, Rajavi and MKO leader trying to keep absolute control over their members by separating them from their family; Consequently, getting undivided loyalty and attention. At the same time, in Europe, Maryam Rajavi, is trying to claim a humanitarian face for her MKO cult while denying a young girl to meet her father. Why they are so scare of meeting a young girl with her father?

Dear Ms. Clinton,

The leader of this dangerous religious sect (MKO Leaders) have been taking hostage thousands of men and women in "Ashraf camp" with several tricks that as a former member, I am well aware. They are trying to portray such a determination and will of their own to live in Ashraf campus but this is not simply true. They use very complex tricks in order to keep the members there. Again, as a former member who has spent over 22 years in Ashraf Campus, I understand and well aware of the tricks this notorious organization is using and I am willing to testify in any court what facilities and Tricks they have been applying to force their members avoiding expression of their real thought or escape freely from this imposed prison. Recently, they have been taking even more extensive protective measures so no one can escape this prison called Ashraf Campus according to few former members who managed to escape.

Dear Ms. Clinton,

As a former member of the MKO who managed to escape from this cult, considering your power and capabilty, and for the sake of humanity, I would like to request:
1 – To help so the representatives of international organizations and human rights meet members of MKO group in a neutral and risk free environment outside Ashraf Campus and without presence of the representative of MKO with all MKO members and ask their true opinion.

2 – to pressure the leaders of this cult to allow families to visit their loved one in a neutral and friendly environment and stop playing with their members emotion. And to pressure them to stand for basic human rights of their members and their family, and maintain open communication and be informed of world news.

3 – to pressure these cult leaders to allow the basic right of access to Internet and free world so these members can freely exchange email, call or opinion with their families and friends.

Unfortunately in the last 25 years none of Mujahedeen members have been able to access any phone, internet magazines or newspaper. In the garrison that they call it a "City", unfortunately, no one is allowed to have a cellular phone or even access to any magazine or newspaper. It is a humanitarian disaster that majority of MKO members in Ashraf except the very small number of trusted even don’t know how to use Internet or mobile phone. Having say that, these members need your immediate humanitarian assistance to escape this mental and physical prison called "Ashraf Campus".

Appreciate your humanitarian efforts is greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

Hamed Sarrafpour

Human Rights Abuse in the MEK

MKO former members meet with authorities of Amnesty International

A delegation of MKO former members met with authorities of Amnesty International. During the meeting they described and clarified the situation of picketing families of Rajavis’ Cult hostages at Camp New Iraq (formerly Ashraf ) as well as the condition and situation of captive members of the MKO Cult. They also declared the families’ rightful demands of visiting with their loved ones. They asked the Amnesty international to intervene and force the MKO aka PMOI/MEK/MKO leadership to allow those families to see and meet their loved ones.
A letter also presented to the Amnesty International:

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL

Amnesty international organization

Honorable and distinguished President of Amnesty International in France Madam. Genevieve Garrigos,

As you are well informed through many revelations which have been accomplished by many freed and rescued former members of pmoi (Rajavi’s cult) in recent months , since eight months ago many desperate elderly people who are the family of some of those captivated members inside the military garrison ,so called Ashraf base located in Diyali province ,the township of khalis, have been picketing to show their complaint and protest against the pmoi’s leadership and operatives who do not allow them to meet their loved ones in Ashraf which is one of the preliminary rights of any human being. Those mentioned families have been badly threated by the operatives of pmoi whom in many occasions have passed and violated the red line of human rights charter. I would like to draw your attention to some of those violations which are as follows:

The pmoi operatives have slandered and accused those honorable families ,who are mostly elderly people, by bringing some of their brainwashed members to swear and curse those families .

The pmoi leadership have forced and coerced some of their brainwashed members to participate in pmoi TV program so called Simayeh Azadi to swear and accuse those elderly people whom are their relatives. If those chosen miserable members refuse their leadership orders , they will be badly punished and pestered by the operatives of pmoi.

The tough security measures have been carried out inside Ashraf garrison by the direct order of pmoi leadership based in France specially after the escape of 6 members from Ashraf garrison. Two of those escapes have occurred recently , but two other escape attempts were failed and they got arrested and beaten up by the operatives of pmoi.

The people who succeeded to escape mentioned that the leadership of pmoi has intimidated all the members of being tortured and killed by those elderly families and Iraqi police if they try to escape from Ashraf garrison .

The pmoi leadership has mentioned and pointed out that the Iraqi government does not allow those families to meet with their loved ones but this statement is completely untruth and is a big lie which pmoi leadership by telling it wants to cover the real reason .

We are former member of pmoi and human rights activist urging and entreating all human rights organizations specially Red cross organization and Amnesty international to step forward and intervene in this humanitarian incident and force pmoi leadership to allow those families to see and meet their loved ones whom have been deprived of having any sentiment and love to their families because of tough and vicious cultic regulations and policy for a long period of time.

Best Regards

Mujahedin Khalq Organization members' families

Iraqi tribes’ representatives meet with families of Ashraf residents

On Monday October 4th, 2010 a number of Iraqi tribal nationals from Salahuddin Province including Doctor Nafe’ and Ms. Dm-i-Ali offered their sympathy to families who are on strike in front of Ashraf gates. Iraqi journalists were also present at the meeting that lasted a few hours.
Iraqi tribes' representatives meet with families of Ashraf residents
Mrs. Abdullahi [a mother of an Ashraf resident] representing the Iranian families told the visitors:"we have been here on strike for nine months, suffering the worst situation. Our single request is visiting our loved children of whom some have been captive in Camp Ashraf for two decades. The cult of Rajavi refuses this small wish to fulfill, since it is contrary to its cult-like substance."

The tribe’s deputies said that they had had no idea of the families strike at Camp Ashraf and MKO had abstained to respect such a reasonable right.

They promised to pursue the case in Iraqi judiciary and media. Some of the visitors were so impressed by Mrs. Abdullahi’s words and her words brought a tear to their eyes.listening to her with tearshat they couldn’t help their tears.

During the visit a few recently defected members of MKO also spoke to the audience by clarifying the current atmosphere ruling the cult. Their descriptions caused extreme wonder among the attendees.

Former members of the MEK

Mrs. Maleki Letter to the US Secretary of States concerning MKO

Dear Mrs. Hillary, Honorable Secretary of State

Respectfully, I would like to introduce myself before anything else. I am an ex member of Mojahedin Khalq Organisation (MKO). In 1990 I became an outspoken critic of what is know as the "forced divorces" and special relations between the organisation and Saddam Hussein, the ousted dictator of Iraq. I was imprisoned for a few months in solitary confinement inside camps of Mojahedin Khalq Organisation in Iraq. I am living in Switzerland now.

I would like to inform your Excellency that the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran was founded in 1965. Its ideology is a combination of Marxism and Islam.Their ideology is based on fighting against capitalism and they believe that the United States of America is the symbol of global capitalism and they call the USA ‘the World-Eater Imperialism’. Their ideological principle and objective is based on fighting against the United States and its interests, and in this regard they have written and published many books such as, The Carter Presidency (World Eater Imperialism). With such an ideology and approach which exists in the Mojahedin, they began their terrorist operations against American citizens and American offices located in Iran in 1971.

As a result of the terrorist operation which happened in 9/11 in the USA, every country became Batoul Maleki astonished and confused at such brutal and barbaric acts, which targeted thousands innocent people in the twin towers, and all these countries and their governments condemned such brutality and savagery. But, surprisingly the PMOI’s operatives and leaders threw a very big party in Bagherzadeh Garrison in Iraq and celebrated that incident and showed their admiration for that terrorist act by dancing, shouting and congratulating one another in front of their leaders, Massoud and Maryam Rajavi.

Massoud Rajavi was on the stage and while he had his hands on his waist he began a war cry against the USA, and in his admiration for Osama Ben Laden and his organization, Al Qaeda, he said, ”This was fanatical Islam which trembled and shacked the basis of US Imperialism and they destroyed the twin towers which were the symbol of their power, and successfully reduced it to rubble through their successful mission”. Then he (Massoud Rajavi) with a smile on his face continued his war cry and said, ”What will happen to the USA if revolutionary Islam with our Ideology and Maryam’s leadership comes to power, then this paper tiger (the USA) will be destroyed as a whole.”

After the downfall of Saddam Hussein, all the PMOI members underwent various interviews for recognition of their identification by the US State Department’s agents, the CIA, FBI, and specifically US Military Information section MI. They gained a huge amount of very valuable information from the PMOI members – all of which documents and information substantiate and prove that the ideology and the strategy of the PMOI are all anti-western, and particularly anti USA.

The US State Department has justly listed the PMOI and its political wing the National Council of Resistance (NCRI) as a terrorist organization in its terrorist list. While the State Department listed them as a terrorist organization, it did not have the valuable information which it now has now. In a report that was published in 2005 by the US State Department regarding the terrorist organization list, it mentioned justly that the PMOI is a potential threat and is a very dangerous terrorist organization. In that report it was mentioned that the PMOI has the potential to become a dangerous organization in any period of time because of their special terrorist training and cohesive organizational structure. For instance, on 17th of June 2003 when Maryam Rajavi was arrested by French Police, PMOI leaders ordered their members to set themselves on fire in public streets. If there was no complaint and protest from the international bodies and humanitarian organizations against this kind of brutality and savagery, it was still going to become one of the biggest of human catastrophes.

I must stress that even though the State Department reports of 2005 and 2006 are not complete, that the report shows that this organization is a religious cult.We think the MKO in Iraq is finished, especially after the fall of Saddam Hussein and his government. The Iraqi Government wants to assert its sovereignty, regain its property, the garrison, and they do not want to keep those people on their soil who cooperated fully with Saddam Hussein against their people. So now we should ask ‘why do the leaders of a cult terrorist organization want to keep the Ashraf,s garrison?

We have enclosed a small sample of the evidence which has already been made public concerning the MKO. The charges against the MKO and in particular its leaders include but are not limited to: crimes against humanity and war crimes inside and outside Iran.

With many thanks and regards

Batoul Maleki

MEK Camp Ashraf

Delegation asks A.I. to help rescue Rajavi cult hostages in Camp Ashraf

The high ranking members of this cult have attacked those families in the groups of 40-50 and in one occasion one of the woman commanders with the name of Hengameh Haji Hassan attacked those families with a sharp cold arms to harm them but fortunately her vicious and violent act was thwarted by Iraqi police who were present at the scene.
The pmoi leadership have forced and coerced some of their brainwashed members to participate in pmoi TV program so called Simayeh Azadi to swear and accuse those elderly people whom are their relatives. If those chosen miserable members refuse their leadership orders , they will be badly punished and pestered by the operatives of pmoi.

Best Regards

MEK Camp Ashraf

Urgent call on all judicial authorities and the international communities and the media

A number of families of the members caught inside the Rajavi cult in Iraq have been picketing for nearly nine months in front of the cult’s base called new Iraq garrison (previously Ashraf) demanding to meet their seized loved ones. Sahar Family Foundation once again warns about a humanitarian catastrophe occurring within the cult and inside Ashraf garrison

After three months of sit-in, given that the cult leaders prevent any sort of contact of the families with their loved ones, they decided to use megaphones to let their relatives learn about their presence outside the garrison.

Despite the fact that the distance between the families outside the main gate of the garrison (Asad Gate) and the members being caught up in sectarian settlements was large, but cult leaders installed hundreds of powerful speakers inside the base and established strong regulations prohibiting domestic traffic at three kilometers from the sidelines of the garrison and other restrictions applied, to prevent families communicate with their loved ones.

After many approaches and repeated requests from the Iraqi government, some of families were allowed to be stationed at the South Gate of the garrison and they could call their loved ones using speakers.

According to the information received from within the garrison by Sahar Family Foundation, the voice of the families has been heard by the trapped members inside the garrison and this has had a great impact on them and they have even questioned the leaders on the lies about the presence and intention of the families.

The information suggests that the cult leaders had even decided to move people to another place inside the garrison to prevent them hear the voice of the families, but in terms of moving settlement was very difficult and it would create more questions among the members they did not do so.

News also indicate that the cult leaders intend to open clashes with Iraqi forces in order to let a number of their members being killed and injured in this way and then Rajavi can temporarily overcome controversial problems inside his cult and stop the internal protests taking place.

Rajavi also has threatened that if he cannot go out of the current impasse, on the end of the term he would create "species of Ashura" for the members. This means that like many cults in the past such as Jim Jones cult in Guyana and the cult of David Koresh in Texas, Rajavi would destroy all members of his cult.

Sahar Family Foundation once again warns about a humanitarian catastrophe occurring within the cult and inside Ashraf garrison and calls on all Iraqis judicial authorities and international conventions as well as all the media to act on this issue to let the families meet with their loved ones before the occurrence of such a human tragedy.

Human Rights Abuse in the MEK

Letter of Miss Babaee Nezhad to the International and humanitarian organizations

In the name of God

I am Maryam Babaee Nezhad, daughter of Ja’far, 21 years old, living in Gazvin in Iran.
My mother was three months pregnant when my father who was a soldier in the Iran-Iraq war was captured by the Iraqis and became a prisoner of war. Many years past and I had no news from my father.

My grandfather Ali-Akbar became my guardian. After a while we were informed that my father has disappeared and following that we learned that he became a martyr.

For years whenever I wanted to talk to someone, I used to look at my father’s picture and I used to talk to him for hours. I had accepted the fact that I am an orphan.

Two years ago the Nejat Society in Iran contacted my grandfather and informed him that they have learned from the ex-members returning from Iran that his son (my father) is still alive and living in the Ashraf garrison the base of Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) in Iraq.

That day when my grandfather came home I noticed that his eyes are full of tears. I asked instantly: “Oh grandfather! For God sake, please tell me what has happened”. He hugged me and then said: “My dear daughter, your father is alive”.

When I heard this from my grandfather I felt like a fireball. All I remember is that I screamed and I started crying and fall into the arms of my grandfather.

Oh God what is it that I am hearing? Is it true? Is my father alive? And I used to repeat these words continuously.

I told my grandfather why he is siting and doing nothing. I ask him to go and see my father immediately. He sighed and said: “I wish he was still a prisoner of war in the hands of Iraqis. As they say he is now with the MKO and Saddam Hussein gave him to them and apparently he is not allowed to see his family. As it appears in their cult even passing letters or contacting the family or anyone outside Ashraf garrison is forbidden”.

My grandfather said that he would do his best to approach Ashraf garrison with the hope that they might let him to visit his son.

Since I learned that my father is still alive and I cannot even call him I have cried day and night. After long waiting I eventually came to the gate of the Ashraf garrison along with my grandfather 5 months ago.

For two months I cried on a closed gate day and night and I called for my father, but the commanders of the garrison refused to let me see my father for even one hour after 22 years. I got sore eyes and had to return to Iran to undergo an operation on my eye.

I could not tolerate being away from my father. I had no motivation to study and I was ever so anxious to see my father. I insisted my grandfather to take me back to Iraq with the hope that may be this time they let us see him.
When my grandfather saw that he cannot calm me he took me back to Iraq to the gate of Ashraf garrison. This time I saw that many other families are picketing there.

Ms. Sorayya Abdollahi embraced me like her own daughter and asked about my eye. I asked her if they have let the families to see their loved ones. She said with sorrow: “No my daughter. But during this time several members have managed to escape. I hope that your father be able to escape one day and cuddle her loved one”.

During this time in front of the gate of Ashraf garrison I called my father several times from the loudspeakers. I do not know if they allow my father to hear my grief.

The doctors say that if I keep crying my other eye would be infected too and that is the case at the present time. Now that Massoud Rajavi (leader of MKO cult) does not allow me to see my father I prefer to go blind and not see anything at all. A girl in my age needs a father but my father is seized by a cult.

I call upon all international organizations and humanitarian activists in Europe and in America. Come and see how Rajavi is playing with the emotions and destiny of a 22 years old girl whose wish is just to see her father.

I call upon all those who claim they fight for human rights and yet support Rajavi and his cult. Come and see how this group is dealing with its own members and their families.

I long for my father. Who should I say this? Mr. Ban Ki-moon? Mr. Obama? The Iraqi authorities? The Iranian authorities? Who?
