Maryam Rajavi sends her thugs to attack a book fair in the city of Durres

Agents of Maryam Rajavi attacked a book fair in Albania. The book fair which has been set up in the garden of Hotel Arvi, Durres, Albania was attacked on 17 August 2022 by several members of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MEK/ MKO/ Cult of Rajavi). Their target was a stand run by the publication of ASILA, Association for the support of the Iranians Living in Albania.

“Maryam Rajavi has sent her #FreeIran2022 thugs in cities of Albania to attacks cultural events,” according to the Albanian news agency, Gazeta Impact. “The mujahedin attacked and threw on the ground the Quran, the book of Karbala etc. The mujahedin were later detained by Albanian police.”

Interviewing Dr. Ggergji Thanasi, the journalist, university lecturer and an Albanian member of ASILA, Euronews Albania reported, “Journalist Gjergji Thanasi was part of the incident that happened at the Summer Book Fair in Durrës on Wednesday afternoon, where a group of mujahedin protested and demanded the removal of the stand set up by him.”

Euronews Albania states that ASILA has been registered in the court as an Albanian NGO so it is a legal entity. “Having Participated in the Durrës fair, we took advantage of this opportunity for a modest stand with 5 books,” Thanasi says. “In the morning, I was drinking coffee when a group of mujahedin together with an Albanian who claimed to be the chief of security in Manza, asked me to leave.”

In the afternoon, everything was fine, the first visitors to the fair began to arrive when the MEK agents attacked the fair, with placards in their hands. They were gathered in front of the “Asila” association stand, based on Thanasi’s testimonies.

Agents of the MEK who are located in their notorious camp Ashraf 3 in Manza of Durrës, were equipped with banners demanding the closure of the Iranian stands. The coerced MEK agents turned their apparent protest into a largescale clash after they attacked the stands. Tearing the Albanian flag and ASILA posters, they threw books on the ground.

The numerous Albanian police forces prevented them from clashing with the Iranian book stand managers including some former members of the MEK. Ultimately, dozens of MEK agents were detained and escorted outside the fair in Police cars.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization members' families

Things are changing for the better, Thanasi told Nejat families

In a video link between a number of Nejat families whose loves ones are taken as hostages in the group and ASILA members in Albania, Mr. Thanasi told families:” things are changing for the better.

Referring to the Camp Ashraf 3 residents, Thanasi said:” there is hope. There is an alternative for these inmates. The alternative is to have a normal life in Tirana.
He reiterated that the new legislation helps these people from Hassan Heirani to the last inmate of Ashraf 3 to find a job in Albania.

Referring to the harsh conditions of living in the closed camp of the MEK, Thanasi said to the families that we should help the MEK members to release themselves, otherwise the alternative for them would be to stay at Ashraf and die because of Covid 19. “I have published a lot of photos of graves of the people died in Ashraf Camp because of lack of medical helps.”

Former members of the MEK

MEK defectors mentally and physically safer outside the group

As the vaccination against Covid-19 has began in most countries around the world, Albania started a mass inoculation campaign from March, ahead of the summer tourism season, according to the AP. The government is continuing to work on securing new vaccine contracts so the entire population can be fully vaccinated by early 2022.

Some of the MEK defectors who live in Albania received the first shot of the Covid vaccine. This is considered important because they are free citizens in Albania who enjoy the normal facilities that Albanians enjoy. This is exactly contrary to what the MEK propaganda tells the rank and file about the life outside the group.
Two of the defectors of the group, Parviz Heidari and Ali Hajari who received their first shots published their photos on their Facebook accounts insulting leaders of the MEK as “cult leaders who do not want to see them happy and healthy”.

Parviz Ahmadi

The defectors seem to be very grateful to any joyful moment of their life in the free world. They cherish the Albanian journalist, Gjergjy Thanasi who gave them colored Esther eggs in one of their gatherings in coffeeshop. It is one of the few Albanian religious traditions that survived communism. Grandmothers dyed eggs blood red in a simple yet powerful sign of faith and rebellion against the atheism that snuffed out churches, killed priests and imams, and deprived Albanians of faith for 40 years. They did it in hiding, secretly celebrating Easter as they gave them to their grandchildren and families, risking death or interment for their families if caught. The egg represents new life, dyed in the color of Jesus blood.

New life for defectors of the Mujahedin Khalq is full of these small happy times. Their life is inspired by their own free will and their own decisions. They are free from supervision of the MEK commanders. They are not forced to confess any of their thoughts and deeds to the commanders any more.
