Meeting Mr. Robert Last, member of Britain foreign ministry delegation

Members of Habilian Association, in following of their meeting with members of political corps, met and talked with Mr. Robert Last and Ms. Sara Clayton on Thursday 2006-9-28. In this meeting, Mr. Mahdi Mollazadeh, official of Habilian association legal committee, after explaining aims and functions of association in one year and presenting some documents and evidences and answering to question about association’s activities, said:

“Terrorism issue and ‘speaking’ with weapons and murder and massacre of innocents to improve political goals have been exerted since victory of Iranian people in 1979 by greedy of power and without popular support groups and caused 16000 Iranian innocent citizens such as governmental officials or ordinary people were killed.

Presence of Saddam Hussein and some European country’s rules and regulations have caused that the Iranian anti-popular terrorists be under supported by them; terrorist activities have been followed by criminal leaders of terrorist groups, especially Mujahedeen-e Khalq Organization (MKO), who were and are in European countries and executed by assassination teams and squads, which have been dispatched from Camp Ashraf in Iraq.

Our people believe that should struggle with terrorism roots generally. We formed this association in order to have a share in this global struggle and help to this global movement as people, who have been hurt a lot by terrorism.

We think that when coalition forces came to region, they should have executed one of primitive and significant aims, which were declared by them, and also destroyed the terrorist bases, which were established in order to Saddam expansionist aims against neighboring countries especially Iran. Ashraf military base is a center, in where has been designed and executed a lot of crimes and a lot of people from Iran nation and Kurdish and Shiah tribes of Iraq have been killed.

Of course, we are, as children of terrorists victims, willing to open the terrorism record in Iran and we are too happy that innocent people of Camp Ashraf can join their families and hope that others people of them will can return to their country and get out of the organization’s pressure, like that more than 300 of them returned during one and two years ago.

Keeping of them in Ashraf base and especially west’s unconcern to their presence and distribution in Europe can be too dangerous for Europe’s people.

However, the group, which has been formed to assassination and murder since 40 years ago and has performed all kinds of terrorist activities, it is possible that perform what it has performed in Iran, in Europe too.

If MKO’s criminal leaders find themselves in surrounded and also their organization be in danger, so they can be dangerous for the Europe’s people. Some years ago, when their leader’s criminal and terrorist wife was arrested, they ordered to their members that set themselves on fire in order to win attentions.

Now you suppose that they perform some brutal actions like them or other actions, which are usually performed by terrorist groups, with Europe’s people; don’t they condemn the politicians, who allowed terrorists collect their group and deal with to spread violent thinks and activities in their land?

So, again your country’s people will be their victims like our people. Sometimes ago, some happen like that somebody set themselves on fire in France, happened in Camp Ashraf; when this organization is restricted, so try to win attentions by doing such crimes.

We collected more documents and evidence about type of function, operations and victims of this group that present you to refer to your authorities and officials.

Then, Mr. Robert Last expressed pleasure from this meeting and declared his regret to these terrorist activities, which happened for Iran’s people and families of association’s members by Mujahedeen-e Khalq and also added:

“Our country follows terrorism like your country and it is one of our problem; issues, which were noticed by you, were too useful for us such as list of victims and also documents and evidences about activities of terrorist groups. Both documents of their activities and their victims exactly will be significant and useful for the parts, which work in this field in England. As you know, I’m not expert in Iran issues but try to refer them to high officials and I hope have cooperation with you in future.

I think this travel, which is your first presence in Human Rights Council, can be useful for you because you had relations with different centers and especially various NGOs, which follow your opinions. I hope that never see terrorist activities neither in your country nor in other part of the world again. I am too glad to meet you and be lucky.

Meeting with Ms. Rachel Litman a high ranking member of State Department’s Delegation

 On Tuesday, October 9th, the representatives of Habilian Association in a meeting with Ms. Rachel Litman a high ranking member of DOS’s delegation, describing the terror issues in Iran, explained the objectives of the association and the activities done by that. During the meeting, Mr. Hashemi Nejad and Ms. Litman talked together.

Mr. Hashemi Nejad:

Thanks for your time. As you know violence and terrorism is happening all over the world everyday. The terrorism of which our country is one of the victims. We are a group of families and children of those who have been killed by a criminal terrorist group “Mujahedin-e-Khalq- MEK. We have formed a group to demonstrate the dimension of MEK’s crimes and have collected a large number of documents and evidences on the assassinations made by MEK.

Ms. Rachel Litman:

I’m glad to talk with you and I’m sorry for the terrorist events happened in your country killing the innocent people.

Mr. Hashemi Nejad:

When your country along with Western countries came to Middle East with the goal of removing terrorism, it seemed that this disaster would be eradicated from the world. As a survivor of terrorism victims, I got happy of your country’s action, but unfortunately the action ended with dividing the terrorists and protecting them. According to the State Department’s report of 1994, the MEK has killed thousands of innocent people and you are surely informed that a few of them were from your country.

Ms. Rachel Litman:

The group has been restricted and disarmed by US and they don’t have the right to operate and they are designated as a terrorist organization.

Do you claim that the group is under our protection?

Mr. Hashemi Nejad:

The presence of MEK in Iraq while the Iraqi people and government detest them so much (because of their crimes against this country) is absolutely because of the US support of them in order to use them in future. This is the main reason for American support of MEK.

Does your country divide the terrorists into good and bad? Don’t you think that your dual behavior toward our father’s killers caused MKO to find a safe heaven and lobby in US congress and parliament freely? Why do the terrorists contact your representatives and congressmen so freely? How can you justify the support for such terrorist in a country that has designated them as terrorist?

The double standard of your country toward terrorism caused MEK members to contact Human Rights Council in the UNand even lobby that place.

I have the background and speeches made by them in support of terror and also the verdict issued by Interpol to arrest them that I will provide you with some other documents.

Ms. Rachel Litman:

Do you want them to be tried? You mean they must be brought into trial in US or another country or by UN?

Mr. Hashemi Nejad:

Our goal is to fight terrorism and terrorist thinking. We don’t want the other children like us miss their fathers due to the ambitions of some criminals who have killed our people and also their own members.

Ms. Litman:

You should know that in order to achieve your goal, your presence in this meeting is effective. You should try to contact different people and groups describing your activities. Your country and what is happening in your country has the priority for us. Therefore we want the reflexes of your evidences and documents asking you to give information and documents to my government and send me in the future. I will surely transfer your documented evidences to concerned sources and I hope to be contacted with you in order to reflect any thing you give me.

Mr. Hashemi Nejad:

Thanks for your favor. We will give you the documents we have brought and we will complete them in future through the contact way you put toward us.

At the end, some document, evidences and books on MEK presented to Ms. Litman.

The report of meeting Director of UNHCR’s Middle East Affairs

Habilian association Secretary-General met and talked to Mr. Hamdi Bokhari, Director of UNHCR’s Middle East Affairs, in seat of this organization in Geneva on Friday morning 2006-09-29.

In this meeting Mr. Seyed Javad Hasheminejad, with appreciation of humanitarian activities of this institution, explained the association’s aims and activities and delivered the documents and cultural and investigative productions of association to him that use them for survey and holding in commission.

Mr. Hasheminejad said to Mr. Bokhary:

“We appreciated the role and cooperation of Red Cross in help to return of MKO’s members, who have requested to return their country, in a meeting with one of Red Cross authorities and also thank you and UN to make situation for penitent people of organization to return to their families.

Our group has been formed to struggle with terrorism routs and undoubtedly, one of its ways is remove of MKO terrorist base.

Some bodies claimed that should grant refugee status to Camp Ashraf but in our opinion, it cause to improve terrorism culture. We should make conditions as soon as possible that organization’s members return to their country. About 1500 of members have been returning to Iran during last 15 years and during recent one or two years about 500 persons from total of 4000 Camp Ashraf members, have separated. The fact is that 10 percent of them are criminal and others, according to Iran responsibles remarks, can return to join their families. Although our group was formed to meet hurt families rights from terrorism and follow terrorist crimes but because we also dealing with MKO issue, about 100 of members families contacted us and demanded to help them to return of their children during a last year. I transfer their message and concern to UNHCR. These concerns have increased specially after publish the reports of some sources, such as Human Rights Watch organization, based on torture and imprison of organization members about persons, who demanded to return the country.

I hope some conditions will be prepared for families that can enter Camp to visit their children without organization’s pressure and supervision.

But now, our aim of this meeting is for reveal some rumors about propagandas of Mujahedeen-e Khalq based on that UNHCR have a role in their present status and also know the commission’s future policy in relation to them”.

After that Mr. Hamdi Bokhari praised association’s annual functions and encouraged the members to continue and specially cooperation with commission.

Mr. Bokhari also appreciated and thanked Habilian association because of their attention to the organization members and their return and also that tried to visit and contact them; and at the end of meeting, delivered him different documents and evidences about organization and terror victims.

Director of UNHCR’s Middle East Affairs announced that:

“We don’t have agency, like Red Cross, in Iraq and I work with numbers of our assistances on this issue in here, we accepted that you come and we listen to all things. This is a great process and we are bound to grant refugee status to asylum seekers and our activities are also peaceful, but high commission grant refugee status just to citizenry but Ashraf is a belligerent city and we don’t give refugee to warriors. This method of us is for the entire world; at first they should give their request and the request should be personal not governmental and not be related to any organization but they don’t have these conditions in Ashraf.

These are official militants and being limited protected under Geneva Convention until determination of their status.

There is no difference before and after the war, Saddam might be gave them refugee but now is difference and related to Iraqi government that has given refugee to them. They are under support of US after the war and we didn’t have any interference in this case.

The members of MKO can get refugee status under three conditions:

1. Cutting ties with Mujahedeen-e Khalq organization

Have no relation with any military and terrorist organization

Giving pledge not to return to previous status, it means that Red Cross should guarantee that they don’t return to previous status and there not be any threat for countries.

We were also informed about return of most of them but don’t have any information about numbers of them, we talked about their return with territory countries, like Iran government that if members of this group exit and have conditions, we can help them.

We don’t have any agency in Iraq now, we are negotiating with US. Some of them came personally and gave the request and we are granting refugee status to them, in fact they separated of this group and their refugee is personal and we also speak about them not their organization.

They also themselves like to return but not to Iran and it’ll also change in future.

Your group can be fruit bearing in Iran, we also have close relation with Red Cross because they also try that their members return to their houses.

Your group can help us and Red Cross to return of them, we don’t have access to Iraq’s Red Cross. If they want to return, Red Cross should guarantee it that if they return to Iran, would not be changed to their previous status because if they are deported from Iraq, we wouldn’t know how should help them.

We have a great office in Iran and you can contact and help them to return of them. UN family also likes that terrorism being ended and the world become safe from their activities”.

“Do you know why organization members burned themselves and how people they are?” Mr. Bokhary asked in finally.

“They are unaware and ignorant people that became puppet of criminal leaders and the leaders make them do these actions to win international bodies’ attention and put pressure on humanist institutions.

Claim of granting refugee and some things like that by UN or Red Cross is also a trap that this organization tries to put the international bodies against Iraqi government and use this trap for several”. Mr. Hasheminejad replied
