… Many of the MKO/MEK/PMOI members abandoned the terrorist organization while most of those still remaining in the camp 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 ….
the cult forced families of recruits to attend the demonstrations in European countries, threatening them to kill their dear ones. MKO/MEK/PMOI, which has neither root nor public support in Iran, recruits young Iranian teenagers living in exile, often a little flustered, to indoctrinate them and then force them to join the cult…You can ask yourself whether the decision made in Brussels is really going in the direction of its so-called commitment to fight for human rights and combat terrorism. It seems that there are double standards in EU policies..
(An interview with Batool Soltani on MKO self-immolations – Part 25).. the term ‘pardakhtgar’ can be defined; that is to say, a member of the organization sacrifices his love and affection for the family and associates so they may transcend the limits of the material world and achieve the sphere of an unconditional love and affection that could include not only the beloved around them but the humanity in general. His struggle and immolation is to stop people paying for the attention and affection they receive and to purify the atmosphere ..
Batul Soltani, former member of the leadership council of the Mojahedin-e-Khalq group revealed some of the group’s crimes in Iraq..”I am ready to testify in Iraqi Judiciary court against the cooperation of MKO and former Iraqi troops on massacring the Iraqi people in 1991 Intifada,”she underlined.She said that former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hossein granted a lot of money to the group adding,”
This letter is to inform you that Hamid Reza Nouri, soldier of Division No.64 was captured by forces of Mujahedin –e- Khalq Organization in the fronts of Iran – Iraq was in Haj Omran operational region in 1986 when only a few days of his serving period was left… we ask the honorable representative of ICRC in Tehran to arrange our visits in a place outside Camp Ashraf, far from the supervising eyes of MKO agents.
The respectful family of Mr. Moqsud Mohammad Zadeh, especially his mother has been waiting for him for more than twenty years. But the unkind leaders of MKO/PMOI/MEK still ignore maternal emotions and think of their own ambitions. By their close communication with Nejat Society and ICRC the Mohammad Zadeh family has been always looking for a way to release Maqsud from the horrible Rajavi’s gang.
Mr. Jaafar Babaiee nezhad was a service man when he was captured by MKO group in 1986. He has an only daughter who hasn’t seen her father since she was born. She is now living with her grandfather in the village of Ali Abad. Having missed her parents, she has a lot of problems including lack of the possibility to continue her studies. She always thinks if she lived with her father, she would have a better situation or she would live in a better city to enjoy educational facilities. She says:”For God’s sake, do something to return my father
Another trick that is used]by MKO] to heighten the organizational control over members – and since the fall of Saddam has turned into a rule in MKO/PMOI – is that the family visits should also be taken place in the presence of a third person. In other words a companion should escort you in your visit with your family, allegedly to help you be more comfortable! Generally the organization doesn’t like the families to come to Camp Ashraf
… “The Iraqi government received the families and facilitated their arrival and they were taken to the reception halls but the leaders at the camp refused to let the relatives see their families,” National security adviser Mowaffaq al-Rubaie said…The fate of Camp Ashraf’s 3,500 residents has been in the air since Iraq took it over from US forces this year.
the movement is in decline already .Since the late nineties the internal dissent in Camp Ashraf is increasing and with the fall of the dictatorial regime of Saddam Hussein, the MKO will be deprived of their basic logistics..we believe that the leadership of MKO[PMOI/MEK] should answer the killing of civilian Kurds…we are sure that the meetings in Europe with several supporters and / or members of MKO led you to find them available and courteous.
