Message from Mr. Jalal Gholamzadeh Golmarz to his brother Jalil, based in the MEK camp in Albania and the government officials:
United Nations Committee on Enforced Disappearances (CED)
Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights
United Nations Office in Geneva

On behalf of the suffering families of the members of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK, MKO), whose loved ones joined this organization, and now have no information about their status, I would like to inform you that more than six months ago these families sent hundreds of complaints, with detailed documents and explanations. They demanded that the situation of their loved ones who became members of the MEK be investigated.
The MEK was stationed at Camp Ashraf in Iraq under Saddam Hussein and was fighting against Iran alongside the Iraqis. After the fall of Saddam Hussein, the Camp came under US protection and was then handed over to Iraqi forces as ‘the last stronghold of Saddam Hussein’.
At the urging of successive Iraqi governments and with the efforts of the United Nations, the process of MEK expulsion began, and the names of each group leaving Iraq and entering Albania were announced. The process was slow and in very small numbers. But suddenly, in the late summer of 2016, the organization announced that the rest of the people (nearly 3,000), who were supposed to be only several hundreds, had also been transferred to Albania. The names of these people were never published.
MEK members are housed in a remote, isolated camp in Albania where the residents are inaccessible and uncontactable. The families of hundreds of MEK members have no information about the condition of their loved ones.
Also, many of these families have faced various economic and legal problems, including issues related to inheritance, due to the disappearance of these people, and the lack of access to these people has caused them many difficulties for years. MEK members do not have the opportunity to do legal work or appoint a lawyer.
Recently, the MEK reacted to the complaints of these families to the UN Committee on Enforced Disappearances in its media and tried to make public a few out of their thousands of members and pretend that they have not disappeared but could be found in a certain place. However, their families still have no communication with or access to them.
Hundreds of letters have been sent by these families to the Committee on Enforced Disappearances. A small number of respondents have requested the completion of explanations and documents, which has been done immediately, but it seems that the process is very slow.
It should be noted that on February 6, 2007, Albania signed the United Nations International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance, adopted in New York on December 20, 2006, which entered into force on November 8, 2007.
According to Article 31 of the Convention, a State Party must cooperate in the case of the enforced disappearance of any particular person in its own country. Article 32 also emphasizes this issue and the responsibilities of the member states.
These families have sent a great many letters to the Albanian government with the necessary explanations and specifications and have raised a petition signed by more than 11,000 people. The original signatures have been delivered to the Albanian embassy in Paris on 550 pages, but unfortunately there has not been any response from the Albanian government up to now. Therefore, the UN Committee needs to clarify its undertakings on the complaints it has received, and to take legal action to resolve this issue.
On behalf of the families, I would like to thank the Committee on Enforced Disappearances in advance and look forward to learning from you.

Mr. Gholam Ali Narimi from Khoozestan Province is presently in the MEK paramilitary camp of Manza in Albania.
He was born 1960. He joined MEK in 1976 when he was 16 years old. Today he is 60 years old.
His family in Khoozestan in Iran want to meet him. However the Albanian government does not allow his family to come to Albania since Maryam Rajavi, the leader of MEK cult claims that these Iranian families are terrorist and want to kill their family member.
In this video the aged mother and the sister of Ali Narimi appeal the Albanian government to let them travel to Albania and visit their beloved Ali:
Letter from “Mothers, the Forgotten Victims” to the Minister of Interior of the Albanian Government
Mr. SANDER LLESHAJ, Albanian Minister of Interiors
Greetings and best regards,
Contradictory reports from Albania indicate that somehow the life of Mr. Ehsan Bidi, a former member of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK, MKO, Rajavi Cult), is in danger.
As you know, Maryam Rajavi has been deported from France and also has no right to enter the European Union. Attempts to obtain entry visas to the United States and the United Kingdom have so far been unsuccessful. She blames the former members, who have revealed the truth about the cult, and intends to take revenge on them.
We know that the internal situation of the Rajavi Cult is very bad and a large number of members want to separate, and the officials of the organization are trying to make the situation outside the MEK camp in Albania unsafe so that no one dares to leave.
In the past, Maryam Rajavi had conspired against Mr. Ehsan Bidi many times and tried to silence him, but she did not succeed. She has not given up her efforts against Mr. Bidi and continues her conspiracies, including giving false information to the police. Apparently, Mr. Ehsan Bidi has been transferred to an unknown location by the police.
On behalf of the suffering mothers of MEK members in Albania, I must inform you that in the current situation, we hold the Albanian government and the Albanian State Police responsible for safeguarding the security of Mr. Bidi and other former members of the Rajavi Cult in that country.
Soraya Abdollahi,
Mothers, the forgotten victims

Dear Mr. President,
As suffered mothers, we ask you to allow us travel to your country and visit our beloved children after long years. We are worried about our children conditions.
Albania is a democratic country and defends human rights. So why do you prevent us from visiting our children who are kept in MEK Camps in your country.
Your excellency,
We ask to issue us visa. We just want to see our children.
Sincerely,

Masour Gholipour Video message to his brother”Naser”who is captivated behind the bars of the MEK Cult.
Dr. Olsi Jazexhi talks to families of Akbar Khosravi, Mohammadreza Farajipoor and Bahman Mohammadnejad. They are soldiers of the Mojaheden el Halk (Mujahedin-e Khalq, aka MEK, MKO, NCRI, Saddam’s Private Army)organization, an ex-terrorist organization which is hosted in Albania. Their leader, Maryam Rajavi and the MEK command do not allow their members to contact their families. They are kept in total isolation, brainwashed and radicalized to hate and want to do jihad against Iran.
The Albanian government which supports and hosts MEK supports the tyrannical rule of #MaryamRajavi and #MEK in the isolation that it does to its members However, their families want to meet their loved ones, deradicalize them and make them go back home. In the following video Jaafar Khosravi wants to convey a message to his jihadi brother Akbar Khosravi who is kept in the MEK camp in Albania. Alireza Farajipoor, Dokhtar Farajipoor and Farangis Farajipoor want to convey a message to Mohammadreza Farajipoor who is also a jihadi soldier kept by Maryam Rajavi gang in the Manza Camp of MEK.
Mohammadreza Mohammadnejad and Zahra Torabi want also to convey a message to their brother Bahman Mohammednejad who is also held by Maryam Rajavi in the Manza jihadi camp of MEK. The Mojahedin organization which hates this video and family members of its soldiers is going to accuse and attack the host of this video Dr. Olsi Jazexhi of psychological torture against ‘the freedom fighters’ which Maryam Rajavi keeps in Albania, ready to do jihad and terrorism against Iran. However Olsi who is not afraid of MEK – #NCRI threats, blackmails and character assassinations campaigns interviews these Iranian families who want to convey messages to their family members who are being kept as hostages, radicalized and cult slaves by Maryam Rajavi jihadi gang in Albania.
“Cult Members never laugh. They don’t have humor. Humor is a human thing. They don’t have any natural creative ability to be funny just like AI.” Lauren Pritchard
The quote seems so familiar to those who were involved with the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (The MKO/ MEK/ PMOI/ Cult of Rajavi). Just a few days ago, a former member of the group told BBC Persian that “laughing was forbidden in the MEK”.
I was in the MEK for 12 years and I envied the Iraqi prisons thousands of times
The BBC report titled “Prison in Prison” was published on September 20. The BBC reporter Jiar Gol covered the fate of the Iranian soldiers who were taken as POW by Iraqi forces and then were recruited by the MEK. He interviewed two defectors who left the MEK after years of imprisonment in Iraqi jails and then in the MEK camps.
Edward Tromado was one of the interviewees. He, as any army soldier, was taken as a war prisoner in the early days of the Iran-Iraq war. Edward spent 9 years in Iraqi prisons, according to BBC. He was recruited by the MEK in 1989 and shortly after, he realized the bizarre conditions inside the group. “I was in the MEK for 12 years and I envied the Iraqi prisons thousands of times,” he tells Jiar Gol.
Why did he envy the violent and deficient life of war prisoners’ camps of Iraq?
His answer is revealing: “In Iraqi prison, we went through all pressures, restrictions and violence with jokes and laughter but in the MEK, laughter was totally forbidden, you were never allowed to laugh. If two people talked to each other, they would be told, “you have Mahfel”. (Mahfel is a Persian word referring to a group of people gathering together)
Leaders of the cults make efforts to manipulate the minds of their followers; they try to form the members’ minds as robots with Artificial Intelligence. However, most human beings instinctively resist coercion so leaders’ endeavors result in opposite, as the communist states experienced it in the Soviet Union and the Eastern Block.
Under the rule of communism, people used to indicate their protest by making jokes and cartoons of their political and social problems. It was kind of underground literature for the citizens of these countries who were deprived from freedom of expression. In the MEK, this underground literature is called Mahfel.
In a dictatorship, joke and laughter is a media in the hands of people all over the society. Actually, the dictatorship turns into a machine that produces comedy; their economic theories and their suppressive system cause a constantly ridiculous situation.

In the absence of freedom of speech and unbiased journalism and media, jokes reflect the real reaction of the society to the system. The clandestine jokes or Mahfels –in the MEK- not only help cult members maintain their social relations in the closed ideological structure of the cult but also preserve happiness in the community of the cult and ultimately prevents members from getting brainwashed by the system.
The leaders of the Mujahedin Khalq need to prohibit anything that causes hilarity among members in order to keep them in the cult-like structure of the group. These mind-manipulated individuals, with demolished creativity simply obey the absolute power of Massoud and Maryam Rajavi. Under the rule of the leaders they may deny every human feeling and emotion in their inner selves. They may even show up in front of the cameras of the MEK’s TV channel to deny their love for their family but what is really going on in the covert layers of human relations in the group (ie in the Mahfels) is more important. Mind of a human being is the freest place in the whole world.

Mahin tavakoli is the mother of Ahmad Abdi, member of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO/ MEK/ PMOI/ Cult of Rajavi). She has been looking forward to meet her son for 40 years.
Ahmad was taken as a war prisoner by Iraqi forces in 1980 when he was a volunteer military in Iran-Iraq war. He used to contact his family from inside the Iraqi prison until 1988 but since then his family had no news about him. In 2001, defectors of the MEK told Ahmad’s family that he was in Camp Ashraf.
Ahmad’s father died a few years ago while he was looking forward to see his beloved son. Now, his mother asks him to contact her hoping that Ahmad will see the video someday.
