Family in the Mujahedin-e Khalq

Mojahedin Khalq denies access to the hostages

Letter to the Honorable and Prominent Mr. Ad Melkert
Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Iraq

United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq
Letter to the Honorable and Prominent Mr. Ad Melkert
With all respect to you and your honorable colleagues and members of UNAMI, we, the former members and critics of pmoi (aka Rajavi’s Cult, MKO, NCR, NLA) would like to draw your attention to the following humanitarian issues which are pretty important :

As you are well informed that since eight months ago many families who have loved ones in Ashraf Camp, have been picketing outside of this notorious garrison hoping to see their relatives . Their just request has been denied and ignored by the pmoi’s proxy and operatives and in some occasions they have been attacked and insulted by some of the high ranking members of this cult.

Pmoi’s operatives based in Ashraf garrison who are receiving their orders to suppress those families directly from the cult’s headquarter in France have forced and coerced some of their members to participate the cult’s TV program so called ,Simayeh Azadi, to insult those families despite of their will . Those members have been intimidated that if they meet with those families , they will be arrested and tortured by Iraqi police and will be extradited to Iran to be executed, or will be killed and tortured by those families!!

The pmoi operatives have called those families as agents of Iran’s intelligence service to intimidate their members not to visit them ,who are a group of elderly parents wishing to see their son, daughter or etc after many years.

The pmoi operatives pretend that the Iraqi government does not allow them to visit their relatives , but that is a big lie which pmoi operatives utilize to cover up the real reasons.The pmoi operatives have utilized brainwashing and indoctrination methods for many years to separate their members from the real things which exist outside that garrison ,like sentiment and love which are considered as deadly sin in pmoi.

We , the former members of this organization urge you to step forward and help those desperate families to visit their loved ones .

Respectfully
Ancient Iran Association

Letter to United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq

Dear Mr. Ad Melkert Letter to United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq

Respectfully, we would like to acknowledge that the Iranian Pen Club is consisted of those ex-members of the MKO who managed to free themselves from the mental and even physical barriers of the Organisation. The main object of the Association is of course to try to help the previous comrades in such way that they be able to free themselves too and start a decent normal life again along with their families and beloved ones.

It has been nearly eight months that elderly parents with broken hearts and tearful eyes are looking forward to meet with their children in front of Camp Ashraf have been on sitting that the MKO leaders allow them access to their children inside the camp. but the pmoi’s operatives and officials have prevented them of having any contact with their loved ones since their arrival, and pmoi’s officials have insulted those families as well as labeling them as Iranian intelligence service agents and they have denied their family connection with their loved ones in Ashraf garrison.

According to all international laws and norms it is acceptable for immediate families to visit their loved ones in any circumstances. But as you know, the Mojahedin Khalq obey only their own internal laws, which are different from the rest of the world.

According to articles 25 and 26 of the fourth convention of Geneva which had enabled the MKO’s presence in Iraq, the members could freely have contact with their families. But unfortunately, both the members and their worried and suffering families have been deprived from such benefits.

Unfortunately, the leadership of the Mojahedin Khalq cult, in an attempt to rid itself of any legal or social responsibility, is now blaming the Government of Iraq for not allowing the families of victims confined in Ashraf Garison to have access to them. This is the big lie and the Government of Iraq and the Iraqi Human Rights Ministry have been doing their utmost to facilitate this, which is exactly the opposite of what the Mojahedin Khalq leaders say and do. The Mojahedin Khalq leaders, when they see themselves under pressure by the public and the media, start accusing the families of victims to be agents of the Intelligence Ministry of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Also the leaders of this cult , Massoud and Maryam Rajavi , have prepared a formal list which includes names of some members of this cult whom has forcibly declared that they do not want to see their relatives and families by no means. Obviously no common sense believe such a thing and by these kind of methods we find out more about their profound Stalinist thoughts.

Documents and evidence of the violent history of abuse of human rights by the cult of Rajavi (Mojahedin Khalq) clearly shows that during the past two decades, the leaders of the cult have forbidden any kind of affection or love between family members and have considered it as a sin and a punishable crime. The cult members are expected to only show affection and love to the leader solely.

Rajavi, using the opportunity provided by the fallen dictator of Iraq, Saddam Hussein, has used the past two decades to create an atmosphere inside camp New Iraq (formerly Ashraf) in which any marriage, friendship, writing letters, exchanging photos, using telephone, meeting and chatting or any relation between parents and children or between siblings or other relatives has been forbidden and even thinking about it would have resulted in severe, violent punishment and suppression. Seven years ago, Saddam Hussein and his government was toppled , but even after the downfall of Saddam Hussein ,PMOI still act like before and there has not been any breakthrough in pmoi’s policy regarding separation of their members.

We ask you, the governments of Iraq, the US and European governments to become more active concerning the situation of the people trapped in Camp Ashraf by the Mojahedin Khalq leaders, to take more responsibility and act to secure the minimum of human rights, including the right of family visits, right to access to news and media and the right of choosing their future.

With many thanks and regards

The Iranian Pen Club

News of the families – outside MKO’s Camp Ashraf

Sunday 22 August 2010 – When the six months picketing families outside the gate of Ashraf garrison, the base of the MKO (Rajavi cult), who desire to see their loved ones seized inside the garrison learned about the interview of Ms. Batul Soltani about the immoral behavior of the leader of the MKO Massoud Rajavi inside the cult, they became ever so distressed and were totally ashamed of hearing them. Some were not willing to continue listening; some were in tears while some others were furious. One mother said: “Oh Lord! What is happening to my child inside this group?” while another mother asked: “Do our children know about these events?”

Today the families first decided to announce the matter on the loudspeakers in order to let the people trapped inside Ashraf cultic garrison know about it, but they were all ashamed to do so and no one was prepared doing it. Therefore they gave up. But later they thought that they have some commitments against their relatives.

Would anyone help these suffering mothers?

Finally some families made their minds and decided to read the interview on the loudspeakers with the condition that the ladies go the sleeping container and would not stand opposite Ashraf gate.

Eventually the text of the interview was read. But after a short while, a group of cult manipulated victims stood in front of the families and started insulting, threatening and assaulting them. The families, who well know that the victims of the cult more than anything else need to be helped and saved, did not react likewise and ignored their insults.

We must accept that the former members as well as the families are in a very awkward situation. On the one hand they are ashamed to refer to the immoralities committed inside the cult by Massoud Rajavi and on the other hand they find themselves responsible against the society to give them the right information.

We remember that when Ms. Batul Sotani was in Iraq, she would only refer to these matters in private gatherings without going into details. She always used to say that when she goes to Europe and solves her legal affairs she would reveal many facts. She was determined not to go into the details of such things while interviewing in Baghdad with the Sahar Family Foundation. She used to say that the time is not ripe for it yet.

We also remember that following the revelations of Ms. Nasrin Ebrahimi for the first time in the European Parliament regarding abdominal hysterectomy (removing the uterus) inside the Rajavi cult, Ms. Soltani confirmed it and said that she had the intention of revealing the fact when she goes to Europe and Ms. Ebrahimi was supposed to do so when she gets there as she did. Both Soltani and Ebrahimi did not see any need to reveal the names of the victims, but they said that many women went into that process. They also announced that they are ready to go to Ashraf garrison along with a team of physicians from international organizations for the doctors to examine the women and ask them for what reason they had the operation done.

Ms. Abdullahi returns to the families gathering in front of Ashraf garrison

Ms. Abdullahi who went into coma for heart failure and high hypertension and was hospitalized on Wednesday 4 Aug 2010 in Baghdad after 6 months of picketing in front of the base of Rajavi cult in Iraq returned back to the gathering of the families after being relatively well again.

The families do their activities after breaking fast in the evening until the noon next day in several groups regarding Ramadan. They use loudspeakers to give their massages to their seized relatives only a few hundred meters away and reveal the true nature of those deceiving them.

The leaders of the cult on the other hand use powerful loudspeakers inside the garrison against the voice of the families and make loud noises to counter their activities. Practically a sound war goes on at nights on the gate of Ashraf.

The families learned about Ms. Batul Soltani being attacked by Rajavi’s thugs in Europe and showed their hatred towards this action and condemned it on their loudspeakers.

The news of MKO (Rajavi cult) being designated once again as a foreign terrorist organization by the US State Department was also announces by the loudspeakers for the captured followers inside Ashraf garrison.

Ms. Abdullahi responded to the kind massage of the families from the northern province of Gilan in Iran who had asked about her health. The text of the response is as follows.

Salutes and Praises

I wish to express my gratefulness to all those in the province of Gilan who attended the Nejat Society and asked about my health and also all those inside and outside Iran who called and made me ever so pleased. I managed to gain my health relatively after your praying and I returned to the gathering of the families outside Ashraf garrison.

I consider myself a minor member of the families who are missing their loved ones and find myself serving for their cause and I would do so until we reach our goal.

Do we the families after nearly 7 months of picketing want anything but to see our relatives outside the garrison without the presence of the cult officials? What are they afraid of? Perhaps they are afraid that if they let the members out of the garrison to visit their relatives they might never go back there again.

But let me reveal a fact based on the experiences the families and I had during this period and share it with those families who have not been here yet.

My family and I did not know the MKO at all. My son was seeking a job and of course a better life in Europe and on his way in Turkey he was trapped by the cult and after 5 years I learned that he is defined in Iraq and inside the MKO base.

When I came here I was only after a simple visit with my son but when I saw the maltreatment of the cult against the families and myself and I talked to those members who had managed to escape the cult, I realized that the Rajavi cult has brainwashed our children and trained them to be just like gladiators who would burn themselves to free Maryam Rajavi from prison to enable her to continue with her carnivals and parities in Paris. They want our children just to fulfill Rajvi’s desires and kill until they get killed. But we the families would never let such a bitter ending occur once again to our children.

The outcome of our children being trained by the Rajavi cult in Ashraf garrison is that they call their families with all sorts of names and insult their old parents who have come from very long distances just to see their offspring.

Our beloved children have been trapped unintentionally by a devil who is aiming to destroy them. Therefore we must strive to save their sole and their body by sacrificing whatever necessary.

We are witnessing that our children are living under very tight securing regulations and both physically and psychologically do not have the means of escaping from Ashraf garrison.

The officials of the cult try not to let our voice reach our children by installing very powerful loudspeakers. Our first hope is of course God.

We have given confidence to our children that one day they would be freed and soon we would create such a situation that they will be able to come out of Ashraf and visit us freely.

You sister

Mujahedin Khalq Organization members' families

Letter of Ms. Abdullahi to the US Secretary of States

How is it that you recognize the MKO as a terrorist group but at the same time you support it to keep our children as gladiators in slavery?

(No wages! No spouses! No family! No outside contact! No readings! No thinking! No future! No . . . ! Just worshiping Rajavi, being terrorists, and killing until being killed)

Ms. Sorayya Abdullahi has written a letter to the US Secretary of States on behalf of the families picketing in front of Ashraf cultic garrison in Iraq which is seen below. It is worth mentioning that hundreds of family members of the victims seized inside Rajavi cult (Mojahedin-e Kahlq Organization – MKO) in Iraq have been picketing outside Ashraf garrison the base of this cult in Iraq for about six months and demanding visiting their relatives, but the MKO is still refusing to fulfill their demands. The physical and psychological pressure on these families caused by long time demonstration has led to Ms. Abdullahi and some others to be hospitalized in Baghdad.

Mrs. Hilary Clinton
US Secretary of States

I have learned that the Mojahedin-e Kahlq Organization (MKO- Rajavi cult) has once again been designated as a foreign terrorist organization (FTO) by the US State Department. We are of course pleased that the United States government recognizes the group as a terrorist cult. But this letter is about the rights of the families of the members of the cult in Ashraf garrison the base of the MKO in Iraq. I am a mother and my son has been seized inside the garrison for many years. I am writing this letter from the hospital and I am not in a healthy condition at all.

It is now round 6 months that I am picketing along some other families outside the main gate of Ashraf garrison. Not only the leaders of the cult have not given a positive answer to us, but also they have continuously intimidated and insulted us in order to keep us away from our relatives. Isn’t it our right to be able to visit our loved ones and freely talk to them while they are just a few hundred meters away?

The Iraqi government wished to dismantle the garrison and put the leaders of the cult on trial for their crimes against the Iraqi people and free the victims. Apparently they cannot execute their official decision since the influence of dominating powers in Iraq would not let them do so. Would you consider this a just policy that on one hand you designate the MKO as a terrorist group and on the other hand use your influence to support them and do not let the families reach their just and natural demands?

The UNHCR, the ICRC, the AI, the HRW, the Iraqi officials and the ministry of human rights of this country, and many lawyers and politicians have approved the legitimacy of our demand and believe that the leaders of the MKO must be under pressure to accept the wish of the families.

Even well-known international institutes such as the American RAND and the British Chatham House are now criticizing US the support for the Rajavi terrorist cult and are disturbed by this support. We do not need or ask for the support of the US, but if your government stop backing the group which you designate as terrorists, this would be a great help to us to reach our just demands to see our loved ones.

There are some views indications that some war mongering cliques who have a great influence on US policy wish to save the cultic structure of the MKO with the hope that one day maybe they can be used against the Islamic Republic of Iran the same way that Saddam Hussein did. Is this true? If not how would you justify the double standard policy of US administration against this terrorist group?

I, as well as the suffering mothers and families who have gathered outside Ashraf garrison despite the high temperature and hard living, would like to have a clear answer from you. Please do not respond to us saying that this is not related to your government since it is clear for all of us and even for the international officials in Baghdad that the American forces and the American influence in Iraq is the only obstacle against to freely visiting our relatives and I write this letter on their recommendation and I ask for answer.

Apparently some currents among US policy makers consider our children as free and ready to use terrorists who must go to kill until they are killed. How do you justify this undue policy for your people and for the people of the world? It seems that we have no choice but to either continue the present sufferings and go to hospital one by one or reach to our right and see our beloved ones.

On behalf of the families picketing outside Ashraf garrison in Iraq
Baghdad – hospital
Saturday 7 Aug 2010

hundreds of family members of the victims seized inside Rajavi cult (Mojahedin-e Kahlq Organization – MKO) in Iraq have been picketing outside Ashraf

About Ms. Abdullahi and her son:
Ms. Sorayya Abudllahi Mirzanaqi the daughter of Gholam-Reza was born in 1961 and lives in the city of Ardabil in the north west of Iran. She has two daughters and one son. His son named Amir-Aslan Hassanzadeh the son of Manuchehr was born in 1982. He left Iran to Turkey in June 2002 along with his friend Mahmoud Akbari to find a job and of course a better life in Germany.

After 10 days Amir called his mother and said that he is in a hotel in Ankara and has found a man called Ali Ankaraii and he is supposed to take them to Germany.

Ali Ankaraii is a known name for all trapped in the Rajavi cult in Turkey. He was the MKO contact man in Turkey and of course he never used to reveal his true identity and the organization he was working for to his victims. He managed to send many individuals to Iraq through Jordan deceiving them for a job and a better life in Europe.

Ali Ankaraii called Amir’s mother and asked her several thousand dollars but Ms. Abdullahi could only manage to send 1700 USD to Ali’s bank account.

Finally Amir told her mother that she could ring him after two weeks and gave her a telephone number in Germany. Ms. Abdullahi tried several times to call the given number but did not succeed and could never find a trace of her son.

Round 5 years after Amir had been disappeared one day Mahmoud Akbari, Amir’s friend, went to Ms. Abdullahi’s house. She was surprised to see him there and asked him what happened in Germany and asked him after Amir. Mahmoud answered that they did not go to Germany but to Ashraf garrison the base of the MKO in Iraq. He then explained that he left the MKO when the Americans invaded Iraq and came to Iran with the help of the Red Cross. He also said that he asked Amir to go along with him but Amir said that if he leaves the MKO he would have no choice but to go to Iran where he would definitely be executed.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization's Propaganda System

Disgusting show on the MKO television

As you may well know a large number of families of seized members of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO – Rajavi cult) in Ashraf garrison, the base of MKO in Iraq, are picketing in front of the main gate of the garrison for over six months and demanding the visit of their loved ones. But the leaders of the cult refuse to fulfill this demand for unjustified excuses.

Alarge number of families of seized members of the mko in Ashraf garrison, the base of MKO in Iraq, are picketing in front of the main gate of the garrison

Today (Friday 6 Aug 2010) at 1400 Baghdad time, the satellite television of the Rajavi cult showed two of its victims called Barat-Ali Rigi and Sa’id Sohrabi-Nezhad forced to insult their own families in front of the camera. These two shattered victims under severe psychological and physical pressures imposed by the Rajavi cult were made to call their own families “vile clown” and name the action of their suffering families as “circus of animal”.

What the two mentioned seized victims have been dictated to say and they of course had rehearsed it several times was totally irrelevant to the case of the families. They said that since the resistance (alias for the Rajavi cult) is gaining victories every day and the Iranian regime is badly terrified, then they have forced the families to go to Iraq and try to see their relatives and sit in front of the gate of Ahsraf garrison for six months in intolerable conditions. The Rajavi cult has claimed through these two victims that the protests inside Iran and the sanctions imposed on the country has put the Iranian regime in the corner and hence they have put their pressure on the Ashraf garrison and have arranged the conspiracy of the families.

These allegations have been raised many times by the leaders and the elements of the cult and their excuse for not letting the members go out of Ashraf for a few hours to meet their relatives is that, as they say, the families who have come from far away round the world are agents of the Iranian ministry of intelligence. While the truth is that the MKO is in a very tight situation in Iraq and is so afraid of the mind manipulated members visiting their relatives since they see it equivalent to their emotions being roused and the effects of brainwashing fade away and consequently they leave the cult. This is what the Rajavi cult is terrified of and the rest is excuses and playing games.

But if one can assume that the cult is honest we come with a suggestion to counter the conspiracy of the families who, as said by these two members, have been sitting in front of Ashraf garrison in depressing conditions for six months. The best way is that these two who have been chosen for the television show and others who are all supposedly more intellectual and more intelligent comparing to their families spend a few hours and step outside Ashraf garrison and brief their families and persuade them to join the cult. Or even better make a trip to Baghdad and talk in front of Iraqi and foreign reporters and repeat the same words and answer their questions. But no doubt the leaders of the cult would never allow such things to happen and the reason is known to everyone.

But Massoud Rajavi must know that these disgusting television shows and forcing individuals to insult and accuse their own families would never solve any problem for him. When the families see these filthy tricks they become more certain that their relatives are victims of a cult and they become more assured that their loved ones must be saved. The truth is that the Rajavi cult in Iraq is stuck in a deadly trouble and this is why the leaders are afraid of even old parents of their followers and of course this is the auto-dynamic answer of history to those who wrongly think that end could justify means.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization members' families

If they were American mothers . . . !

Imagine if the suffering mothers and families of the mentally seized members of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO – Rajavi cult) were American, British or Israeli, what would be their present circumstances? We are talking about those families who have no trace of their loved ones for more than two decades and just have heard from the former members that they are still in Ashraf garrison (base of Rajavi cult) in Iraq and hundreds of them have been sitting in front of Ashraf main gate in tough conditions for about six months with the hope that they can eventually see their relatives.

To guess the answer to the above question is not hard. In such a case the Voice of America and BBC and all western media as well as international and humanitarian organizations would raise their voice for those families and would let the world know about their hardship and would release thousands of photos and news pieces with exact details. They would cry for them and make songs and arrange interviews.

But unfortunately the political circumstances is in a such way that influences are made in the western policy by war mongering cliques who think that the Rajavi cult might one day be useful for them and they might be able to use the useless elements of the cult trained and used once by Saddam Hussein. They of course know that they must not take these free terrorists back to their own countries.

Their natural and logic demand is just like any other mother in the world. They wish to visit their loved ones

Mothers and families of course are not interested with political affairs. Their natural and logic demand is just like any other mother in the world. They wish to visit their loved ones.

This demand is recognized in the whole world even for criminals and dangerous prisoners. But the members of the Rajavi cult according to the teachings of the cult must regard their families as enemies and have no right to visit them. Massoud Rajavi the leader of the cult justifies this rule as considering the emotional affections with the families would distance the members from the so called struggle and hence they would leave the cult. Rajavi has mind-manipulated his follower for many years by killing all sorts of emotions in their hearts and has turned them into robots who can fulfill his desires. According to the doctrine of the cults that Rajavi follows too, if a person manages to kill the love for his/her family, therefore the person is capable of killing anyone including him/herself.

Rajavi is standing against the families and would not yield to their demands, since he thinks if he let his followers go outside the Ashraf garrison and visit their families they would learn about the outside world and the consequence would be that they no longer obey him and his cult would collapse. Once Rajavi’s slogan was “death to America” and he was proud of it. Then his main enemy became the Islamic Republic of Iraq and now the front line of his battle is the families.

The Iraqi government righteously urges the Ashraf camp which is unique in its kind in the whole world to be dismantled and the leaders of the cult be tried and the victims be freed to choose their own destiny. This demand of course has not been fulfilled since the forces that have power in Iraq wish to keep the Rajavi cult alive on the boarder to Iran for their own supposedly interests and they have done so until now (RAND report) and it is clear that they have no sympathy for the families. The elements of the cult can be useful for them when they are brainwashed and obey the commands of the leaders without questions and fight like gladiators and kill until they are killed. The presence of the families of course bothers them and their backers.

Only those who have a loved one in Ashraf garrison and fear from the fact that they could for any reason be a victim of the greed of the leader can fully understand the families’’ situation. But anyone can put him/herself in their place and try to understand how these suffering families might feel. The concerned families do need sympathy and moral support. They are not Americans but after all they are mothers.

Latest news from the families in Iraq

“Trying the leaders and saving the victims”

At the present time hundreds of family members are stationed opposite the main gate of the cultic Ashraf garrison (base of terrorist MKO) in Iraq and their number is increasing. Their demand is to be able to visit their loved ones outside the garrison. This demand has been supported by the Iraqi government and the judiciary system of the country as well as the political parties and groups. The families have announced that they will not be moved until they reach their goal. Now the force of mothers’ love is facing the black magic of the cult.

hundreds of family members are stationed opposite the main gate of the cultic Ashraf garrison (base of terrorist MKO) in Iraq and their number is increasing

The temperature is very high and beyond tolerance. The people of Iraq have electricity for only two hours during day and night. The 70 degree centigrade heat and living is tents in the desert without any kind of facilities just show how firm the families are. The visitors while sympathizing with the families express their hatred towards the leaders of the MKO cult and curse Massoud Rajavi and his wife Maryam. The locale people do not hesitate helping the families although they are in hardship themselves.

The slogan written by the MKO elements on the entrance of Ashraf garrison was wiped off today. Some legal steps forward has been taken to push back the advocates of Rajavi cult in Iraq which we would inform you later of the outcomes. At the present circumstances it is most necessary that the human rights activists in Europe and America strive for the cause of the families. Their voice must be heard everywhere.

Families who have gathers from around the world are determined that they must not return empty handed and they must get some news from their relatives. They are seeking help from all who could let the world know what is happening there and reveal the wicked face of Rajavis. The international pressure on the leaders of the MKO terrorist cult is increasing and this must be the case until they surrender to the just demand of the families.

The supreme criminal court of Iraq has issued the arrest warrant for 38 leaders of the cult including Massoud and Maryam Rajavi, and the Iraqi government has asked for their extradition. Some western cliques have approved the demand of “trying the leaders and saving the victims” and the international voice in this regard has been heard. Soon the demand of the families would be fulfilled and the victims would be saved.

Who is responsible for the continued suffering of the MEK victims’ families ?

Who is responsible for the continued suffering of the families of members imprisoned inside Ashraf garrison?

The bombing in the city of Zahedan (south east of Iran) claimed several casualties (Thursday 15 Maryam Rajavi called the family ‘the nest of corruption’ and rightfully describes the family as ‘the main enemy’ of the cult July 2010). President Barak Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and other western leaders immediately condemned the terrorist act. This terrorist attempt took place a few days after the Supreme Criminal Court of Iraq issued the arrest warrants for 38 leaders of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO – Rajavi cult) including Massoud and Maryam Rajavi who are charged with crimes against humanity and expanding terrorism.

Two days after the terrorist act in Iran, a Federal court in the United States of America urged the State Department to review its decision on finding the MKO as an FTO (foreign terrorist organization). This call received a positive response from the Secretary of State. Apparently the show which was performed in Europe is now starting in the US.

The US administration and western countries do always condemn terrorism but for some reasons they are not so keen on condemning the terrorist. It is interesting to learn that the European countries which no longer, despite piles of documents, recognize the MKO as a terrorist group are still not ready to accept the people who they imposed to Iraqi people in their own countries. Of course they do not want these terrorists in their own countries; they would rather have them close to Iran and on the shoulders of the Iraqi people.

The US government describes the MKO as a cult of personality and as a terrorist group and says that they have murdered Americans in Iran and even made songs to celebrate it. But it is noteworthy that when a victim of this cult tries to escape from Ashraf garrison in Iraq and the elements of the cult, right in front of the eyes of the families, grab him and beat him up and take him away, the American soldiers, who are supposed to evacuate the place, hover over the heads of the families by helicopter and threaten them and afterwards do not allow any investigations into the matter.

Apparently some elements and factions within the US Administration and in the west have started a dangerous game and did not learn from the history. The terrorism of the Rajavi cult could not be in a better situation than that of Al-Qaida and Ben Laden for the west. One day, not far away, they will start killing in Europe and America. The MKO at the present time have established security systems in Iraq and have gathered the elements from the previous regime and have sent their members who were trained under Saddam Hussein to France and Germany. One former member in Europe once quoted Mehdi Abrishamchi a top official in the MKO saying that “now that the west calls us terrorist let us be real terrorists”. The security authorities in the west, who were insisting that the MKO not be de-proscribed, had the analysis and knowledge that the threat of the MKO is far greater for the west rather than for Iran.

The Americans could do to recall their support for the Falun Gong cult in China; assuming that since they are opposed to the Chinese government they could be America’s friends. This support resulted in the cult being able to recruit Chinese-Americans in the US and entering them into organized crimes in that country and creating enormous problems. This cult was no longer a problem for the Chinese but in its place became a disastrous difficulty for the Americans and they still are struggling with.

The MKO is no longer an issue for the Iranian regime. This problem is in the first place on the shoulders of the Iraqis. This, then, is reflected inside western countries, and the solution becomes a burden for the western countries that imposed this problem on Iraq in the first instance. Iraq will not carry this problem anymore, but some in the west – for their short term benefits – try to keep them in Iraq. The inhuman face of some western elements, who do not care about the human rights of the inhabitants of Ashraf, is revealed when they intend to use these unpaid, psychologically manipulated terrorists for their wicked tasks. If they are sincere why don’t they open the gates of Ashraf garrison and let everyone learn about what is going on inside there and let its inhabitants learn about what is happening outside.

But innocent people, including the members confined inside Ashraf and their suffering families, are the victims of this paradox and this uncertainty in western foreign policy. That faction of the west which is under the influence of Israel apparently has problems with the Islamic Republic of Iran. But the only concern of the families is why they cannot freely visit their loved ones just a few hundred yards away after waiting for months. What is the obstacle? The leaders of the MKO of course who consider families as their nightmare are the main obstacle. But who is supporting them to be able to continue their crimes? Certainly some warmongering and narrow minded elements in the US Administration and Israeli lobby are doing so. But why do they do so? Because they arrogantly think that the enemy of their enemy is necessarily their friend and of course while totally miscalculating the events have forgotten the experience of Hitler and Bin Laden. Further to this, it should be far from their dignity to try to use the used handkerchief of Saddam Hussein which has proved to be useless for many years.

The US government has no choice but to let the Iraqis to dismantle the MKO in their country. Nowhere in the world has a foreign terrorist organization had the privilege to establish a garrison and not let the host county know what is happening there. This is of course the heritage of Saddam Hussein for the Iraqi people, created by the Europeans. And American Forces, according to the RAND report, protected their base and kept it exactly as the MKO leaders desired. If the Americans are worried about their human rights why don’t they take them to their own country? The truth is that the Americans are not prepared to issue even one single visa for MKO members to enter their country while they force the Iraqis to maintain them even against their national security and other interests.

An Iraqi official told us that in Saddam Hussein’s era, after the ceasefire in the war with Iran, it was arranged for the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to interview Iranian prisoners of war (POWs) who were staying with the MKO and ask them whether they wanted to stay with them or go back to Iran. At that time both Saddam and Rajavi were forced to fulfill the demand and consequently these people were interviewed outside MKO bases without the presence of the MKO and even a representative from the Iranian embassy in Baghdad was present and in some cases members of families or their photos and their letters were brought to the meetings. Finally, although the cult had tried to intimidate them by telling them that they would be executed if they go back to Iran, a considerable percentage of them did not go back to the MKO bases and returned safely to Iran and to their families. Now how is it that the ICRC and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and even the American Forces, even though Saddam Hussein, Rajavi’s mentor, is gone and the Iraqi government opposes the presence of the Rajavi cult on their soil, they cannot arrange even a simple meeting of the members with their families outside Ashraf garrison?

At this time, Rajavi is facing a very tough situation. Cult and family are each other’s diametric. The existence of one is the rejection of the other. Maryam Rajavi called the family ‘the nest of corruption’ and rightfully describes the family as ‘the main enemy’ of the cult. Now the families are standing outside the cultic castle of Rajavi without any weapons and equipment and are trying to counteract its witchcraft and free the imprisoned members. What would Rajavi, who has no tool to reach his goals except machine guns and bombs and of course lying and deceiving, do against the unshakable stand of these standing families and how long will the warmongering elements in US policy continue with this situation? The future will reveal all.

Thwarted escape attempt by a disaffected MEK member

Letter to the Iraqi Prime Minister to inform him of the thwarted escape attempt today by a disaffected member of the Rajavi cult from Camp Ashraf, in Diyala province

In the name of God

Mr. Noori Al Maliki, Prime Minister of Iraq

Dear Sir,
May we bring to your kind attention that today July 08, 2010 at about 10 am, a member of the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation (aka: MKO, MEK, NCRI, Rajavi cult) while signalling with his hands, tried to approach the families by moving towards them, and one of the families started walking towards him. At this moment the security forces of Mojahedin Khalq Organisation present there attacked the member, tied his hands and beat him up severely. They then moved him in to a car and drove away. While this was going on, they used abusive language and threw stones at the families present there and witnessing this assault which resulted in some injuries. Also, two Iraqi soldiers who were also near by, and who intervened to protect the victim as well as the families also came under attack. Unfortunately, they were also hit and injured by the stones thrown by the Mojahedin Khalq Security forces.

About 20 to 30 minutes later we witnessed an American Military helicopter flying low over the families and filming them!

May we remind your good self that after the escape of several members who managed to get themselves out in the recent months, the Mojahedin have been increasing their security by increasing the barbed wire fencing, and in addition have installed CCTV to monitor the movements of all their members. They have also banned any presence of ordinary members in the streets.

This means that the members are imprisoned in such a manner that escape is almost impossible. Today’s incident happened after a message was read repeatedly from a recent escapee to one of his friends who had asked him to let him know about the outside. It is clear to us that this person has been listening to the announcement and has decided to run away from the camp.

We, the families picketing outside camp New Iraq (formerly Ashraf) are deeply worried about the fate and the health of the arrested person remembering that he could be the child of any of us.
The gates of Ashraf camp have been left open for the reason that if anyone decides to run away from the cult, he or she can walk away from this Dark Age’s garrison. Unfortunately today’s incident showed otherwise. Now only God knows what will be brought upon the arrested person and what tortures are awaiting him.

We have complaints against the leaders of the Mojahedin Khalq cult and would like to ask you as the Prime Minister of our brother neighbouring country Iraq, to order the relevant authorities to attend to this situation.

The Mojahedin are now capable of bringing any kind of harm to our children and no one would even know about it. We ask your intervention to save these lives.
