										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gholam Mirzai is in his fifties. He defected the Mujahedin Khalq in Albania, three years ago and he returned to his home town a year later. Gholam writes about his experiences of living in the cult-like structure of the group for Nejat society website. His recent piece published on the Persian page of the website points out certain cases of Mujahed mothers whose kids were separated from them under the order of Massoud Rajavi.</p>
<div id="attachment_11216" style="width: 810px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-11216" class="wp-image-11216 size-full" src="https://www.nejatngo.org/en/wp-content/uploads/Mirzaei-Gholamali-BBC.jpg" alt="Gholamali Mirzaei" width="800" height="496" srcset="https://www.nejatngo.org/en/wp-content/uploads/Mirzaei-Gholamali-BBC.jpg 800w, https://www.nejatngo.org/en/wp-content/uploads/Mirzaei-Gholamali-BBC-300x186.jpg 300w, https://www.nejatngo.org/en/wp-content/uploads/Mirzaei-Gholamali-BBC-768x476.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><p id="caption-attachment-11216" class="wp-caption-text">Gholamali Mirzaei</p></div>
<p>Gholam Mirzai was recruited by the MEK recruiters after he was imprisoned in Iraqi jail for ten years. The recruitment of Iranian POW’s by the MEK was part of the alliance between Saddam Hussein and Massoud Rajavi.<br />
Gholam was stuck in the MEK’s notorious regulations for 30 years and thus he witnessed a large number of cases of human rights violation in the MEK’s camps. Here, he particularly recounts a memoir of Massoud Rajavi’s plot to separate children from their parents during the first Gulf War.</p>
<p>About nine hundred children were smuggled from Iraq to Jordan and then to different European countries. The German Zeit Magazine has recently covered a detailed story of one of these children, Amin Golmaryami. However, Gholam Mirzai recounts the other side of these stories: mothers.<br />
“When I was in the MEK in 1991, every day I witnessed three women weeping tears for their beloved children, in a corner of Camp Hanif, the operational garrison of the MEK.” Gholam writes. “Shahin was from Khuzestan. Her husband Mohammad Taqi Saket was a fellow citizen of mine. Together with two other women, Masoomeh and Azam we served as service workers there. Their children had been separated from them and transferred to Europe.”</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-12894 size-full" src="https://www.nejatngo.org/en/wp-content/uploads/MKO_Militia-1.jpg" alt="MEK Militia" width="700" height="468" srcset="https://www.nejatngo.org/en/wp-content/uploads/MKO_Militia-1.jpg 700w, https://www.nejatngo.org/en/wp-content/uploads/MKO_Militia-1-300x201.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></p>
<p>“At that night, before the end of the work time, I saw them crying again,” Gholam continues. “I started talking to them.” Shahin breaks the rules of the Cult of Rajavi that bans members from talking about their personal affairs. She opens up to Gholam recalling her last visit with her little girl. “They took me to Baghdad to meet my daughter for the last time,” she told Gholam. “She was crying while they took her from me and sent her to get on the bus. I feel so sad and I am always worried about her.”</p>
<p>This was the start of a long-life grief for most female members of the MEK. Since then, Mujahed mothers have been trained by the cult leaders to suppress their emotions for their children. They actually made them avoid feelings for their family and specially their children but this has not always worked for the leaders. Some mothers like Mitra Yusefi and Fereshteh Hedayati could manage to release themselves from the bars of the cult but there are still hundreds of mothers who devoted their love to the guru of the cult, Massoud Rajavi instead of their children.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mr.karim Assad khan<br />
The Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court</p>
<p>Your Excellency,<br />
My name is Gholam Ali Mirzaei. As a military soldier I was imprisoned by the Iraqi forces at the very beginning of the 1990s Iran-Iraq war.<br />
I was subjected to severe tortures in Saddam’s POW camps for nearly ten years and I resided there in The worst human conditions.</p>
<p>In 1998 when a ceasefire was established between two countries, the MEK with the cooperation of the Iraqi government entered the POW camps and deceived a large number of Iranian POWs through propaganda and false promises. We were all unaware about our countries conditions as well as that of our families. We did know nothing about the Mujahedin. They transferred us to Camp Ashraf. shortly after, we realized the bizarre conditions inside the group.The group leaders abused members ranging from detention and persecution of those wishing to leave the organization, to lengthy solitary confinements, severe beatings, and torture.</p>
<p>Your Excellency,<br />
Leaders of the MEK make efforts to manipulate the minds of their followers; they try to form the members’ minds as robots with Artificial Intelligence.our conditions got worse within the MEK camps.<br />
I ask you to expedite the case of the MEK leaders.</p>
<p>Sincerely,<br />
Gholam Ali Mirzaei,<br />
MEK former member</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mr. Gholam-Ali Mirzaei, the Mujahedin-e Khalq ex-member and one of the plaintiffs in the case against the leaders of the MEK stated in an interview with the Nejat Society correspondent:<br />
I am one of the people who sued the MEK leaders’ case in the court. I support the rights that were abused in the Rajavi Cult for 20 years, as well as the lawsuit against the leaders of the Rajavi Cult for preventing families from visiting their children.</p>
<p>I call on the Hague Tribunal and the international community and all human rights organizations to support this issue so that these families can hold their rights as soon as possible and see their children face-to-face.<br />
I also thank the families for their support and I ask them to follow up more. My family did that. I do not think this problem will be solved with one or two attempts. They need to be more persistent so that these people are informed through cyberspace. Cyberspace is very influential.</p>
<div id="attachment_11216-2" style="width: 810px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-11216-2" class="wp-image-11216 size-full" src="https://www.nejatngo.org/en/wp-content/uploads/Mirzaei-Gholamali-BBC.jpg" alt="Gholamali Mirzaei" width="800" height="496" srcset="https://www.nejatngo.org/en/wp-content/uploads/Mirzaei-Gholamali-BBC.jpg 800w, https://www.nejatngo.org/en/wp-content/uploads/Mirzaei-Gholamali-BBC-300x186.jpg 300w, https://www.nejatngo.org/en/wp-content/uploads/Mirzaei-Gholamali-BBC-768x476.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><p id="caption-attachment-11216-2" class="wp-caption-text">Gholamali Mirzaei</p></div>
<p>Mr. Gholam-Ali Mirzaei also told his friends who are still being held in the Rajavi Cult camp in Albania:<br />
Greetings to all my friends in the Rajavi Cult who are now in the captivity of this cult .I have been back in Iran for almost 8 months now. All that the Rajavi Cult says about anyone who leaves the cult are mirages and lies. They said that if you return to Iran, neither your family, nor your relatives and locals will accept you. These are all nonsense. Believe me that no one is preventing you from returning home. The families and those who are waiting for you have worked hard over the years to liberate you.</p>
<p>The Rajavis said that whoever leaves the organization will die of starvation or if he/she returns to Iran he would be executed.The Rajavi Cult deceived people like us for its own survival. I ask you friends who work in cyberspace to inform the rest of the friends who are not in cyberspace. Let the others know and make your final decision to leave immediately.</p>
<p>The families are waiting for you to return as soon as possible. Make an effort and get rid of that camp as soon as possible.</p>
