Maryam Azad

Ms. Masoumeh Azad Manjiri, the sister of Maryam Azad Manjiri, who was detained in the Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK) camp in Albania, wrote a letter to the World Health Organization requesting that her sister’s health be taken care of.

The text of the letter is as follows:

Representative of the World Health Organization in Albania

Greetings and best regards,

I am Masoumeh Azad Manjiri, the sister of Maryam Azad Manjiri. My sister is currently in the Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK) camp in Albania. He left Iran with his wife Mohammad Norouzi 32 years ago.

We later found out that they were deceived by the forces of the MEK and transferred to the organization’s camp in Iraq. In all these 32 years, I have not met her or even heard her voice. It is the wish of every sister to be able to communicate with her loved one and be informed about her condition.

You know that even in the most horrible prisons in the world, and in the case of the most dangerous prisoners, families are allowed to call and visit, but we are deprived of this minimum possibility. Who can help us deprived families? Which international body should we take our complaint to? Who would support us?

Worst of all, I think my sister has a disease caused by Covid-19 and is living in difficult conditions, and the health facilities inside the camp are not good and they have suffered many casualties so far, because the environment there is completely closed. The MEK does not allow its members to communicate with their families, and the Albanian government does not allow Iranians to travel to that country to pursue the issue.

I desperately ask you not to neglect any action that is imagined in order to alleviate the worries of me and my expectant family, so that news of my sister will reach us and we will be able to communicate.
Please understand the feelings of me and my family and do not hesitate to pursue this issue.

Thanks and best regards,
Masoumeh Azad Manjiri

Ms. Masoumeh Azad Manjiri wrote the following letter to the World Health Organization in Albania regarding the health of her sister Maryam Azad Manjiri:

Representative of the World Health Organization in Albania

Greetings and best regards
I am Masoumeh Azad Manjiri, the sister of Maryam Azad Manjiri, who is currently in the closed and remote camp of the Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK) in Albania and has no connection with the outside world.

My family and I have not seen Maryam for many years and we have not heard her voice and we have not even received a message from her, and this issue always torments us.

Now the news worries us a lot, and that is that Maryam is probably infected with the Covid-19 virus and is in a very acute condition, and on the other hand, the health conditions inside the camp are also unfavorable.

We, Maryam’s family, have no desire other than hearing her voice and hearing about her health. Of course, Albania does not give us visas in support of the MEK and does not allow us to travel. The MEK does not even allow a single phone call to its members.

I desperately ask you not to neglect any action that is conceivable and fruitful in order to alleviate my and my family’s concerns, so that news of my sister reaches us and communication becomes possible.

You probably know very well how a sister feels in such a situation. Is it acceptable to prevent MEK members from communicating with their families in these circumstances?
