MKO terrorist group postpones two-day summit until further notice upon Tirana recommendations; Dr. Olsi Jazexhi explains:
His Excellency IIir Meta
The President,
Rruga Bulevardi Deshmoret e Kombit, Tirana
For the attention of:
Edi Rama, Prime Minister
Niko Peleshi, Minister of Defence
Bledar Çuçi, Minister of the Interior
Nasip Naço, Chairman of the Cmmission for National Security at the Parliament
Dear Mr. President
We have learned from the media that on July 15, 2022, some unidentified hackers attacked the online systems of the Albanian government. These services are back online today, July 20, 2022. Prime Minister Edi Rama has alluded that the cyberattacks may have originated from two countries. It is hinted in the media that these countries could be Russia or Iran.
At the beginning of June, international media outlets announced that the Iranian Mujahideen organization which is hosted in Manza, attacked over 5000 government websites and cameras in Iran. This news was published on the pages of the Voice of America and other international media.
On July 2, 2022, Iran International reported that the Mujahideen have bombed the Malek Ashtar military base in Tehran. This is the first time since many years, that the Mujahideen have taken responsibility for such a terrorist attack, declaring that the attack was carried out by ‘revolutionary cells’.
In the cyberattack against Albania on July 15, Top Channel TV station has reported that the hackers are believed to be Iranians. In their hacking message they wrote: “Why should our taxes be spent for the benefit of terrorists in Durres” alluding with this the Mujahideen base which Albania hosts in the town of Manza.
If the above allusion are true and based on the chronology of the terrorist attacks that the Iranian Mujahideen have carried against Iran in the recent months, we would like to ask you as the chairman of the National Security Council of Albania to convene the council that you lead and consider whether Albania has entered into a cyber and military conflict with the Islamic Republic of Iran without the knowledge of the security apparatus of the Albanian state, or if the Mujahideens are trying to bring us into a conflict with a foreign country. If the mujahedin activity is verified and was done without your knowledge, we demand that appropriate legal measures must be taken against their criminal activity.
As experts of Iran, Albanian patriots, and distant followers of the US-Iran nuclear issue, we are ready to offer to your Excellency our expertise and testimonies about the mujahideen activity in our country, the threat that it poses to our national security and the policies of Albania’s ally, the United States of America and its Vienna Nuclear talks with Iran.
Sincerely,
Dr. Olsi Jazexhi and Gjergji Thanasi
Gjergji Thanasi and Olsi Jazexhi discuss the latest attacks that Maryam Rajavi, People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran are doing against their defectors in Albania. While DAESH / Jahbat al Nusra in Syria used to kill their defectors, the Mojaheden are using Albanian security officials to attack the defectors.

MEK fights from Albania a proxy war with Iran on behalf of Israel. MEK claims that in March 2018 Iran wanted to attack it, and used this justification together with Israel to deport the Iranian ambassador from Albania. MEK claims that Pasdar, Iranian secret service operates in Albania to attack Maryam Rajavi and her foreign fighters. Rajavi is particularly nervous with defectors of her cult. Many Iranians have escaped from MEK and now live in freedom in Albania. This creates a major existential crisis for MEK since the defections are causing the death of the organization. Maryam Rajavi and her first husband Mehdi Abrishamci claim that the defectors of jihad are supported by a number of Albanians. In the past years and with the support of US institutions they have managed to push Albanian authorities to fight on behalf of MEK against the defectors.
On July 15, Maryam Rajavi managed to convince Albanian prosecutor Vladimir Mara and judge Etleva Deda to raid the homes of Iranian defectors. During the search, the police did not find anything illegal. The search warrant released by judge Etleva Deda shows that 400 mojahedens have abandoned the ex-terrorist organization and 300 foreign fighters have smuggled themselves into the European Union. Thanks to the Zionist lobbying on behalf of MEK, Albanian authorities do not jail MEK commanders who have been caught smuggling drugs and humans into Europe and do money laundering.
Olsi and Gjergji make fun of the ways how Maryam Rajavi tries to do money laundering in Albania. They even claim that even if Maryam Rajavi earns money by doing porn, she must justify the source of her income before she can deposit money in Albanian banks.
They ridicule the hysterical attacks of MEK against the Albanians who denounce the illegal activities of MEK and appeal to Albanian authorities to not become tools at the hand of an ex-terrorist organization.

Ms. Narges Beheshti, the sister of Mostafa Beheshti, whose residence was searched by the police on Thursday and then he was taken to the police department to answer some questions, wrote a letter to the Minister of Interior of Albania, who is in charge of the police of this country.
Narges Beheshti
The text of the letter is as follows:
Minister of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Albania
Greetings and Regards,
I am Narges Beheshti, the sister of Mostafa Beheshti, who used to be a member of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK, MKO) in Albania, but now he is out of their camp and is freely living his normal life in Tirana.
I was informed that on the morning of Thursday, July 14, 2022, based on the 6-page order of the prosecutor, the Albanian police approached the residence of a number of Iranians living in Tirana who were formerly members of the MEK, including my brother Mostafa Beheshti, and inspected their places and belongings. And then the police took them to the police station for questioning. Also, according to the 3-page report of the police, finally: “No illegal items were found in the inspected places, cars and equipment.”
I also learned that the action of the police was based on false information that the MEK provided to the anti-terrorism police. Apparently, this is not the first time that the Albanian police acted based on false information received by the Rajavi Cult.
The fact is that many people inside the camp of the Rajavi Cult want to separate, and the MEK prevents them from leaving with the trick that if they separate, they will have a difficult life ahead of them. Therefore, the conditions of those like my brother who have returned to a free and normal life causes more people to want to leave, and therefore Maryam Rajavi tries to make the life of those separated more difficult.
It is surprising that the Albanian government does not know the true nature of Maryam Rajavi and the MEK after all these years. Such games should no longer deceive anyone and cause the Albanian police to become the toy of an illegal organization (MEK) against a legally registered association (ASILA).
Sincerely Yours,
Narges Beheshti
Tehran, Iran
Farhad was two years old when his father went to Iran-Iraq war. This was the beginning of a prolonged separation. He was sixteen when he heard his father’s voice on the phone, for the first time. He called from Germany, his voice sounded terrified and he thought that Farhad was living in a devastated Iran in which there were no schools. His father did not believe Farhad telling him that he was in grade one in high school.
The short phone call, at least, let Farhad and his family know that his father was alive. Barat, Farhad’s father was taken as a war prisoner by the forces of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization . As Barat later told his mother in a shadowy visit in Turkey he had been intimidated to stay in the MEK. The mother (Farhad’s grandmother) gave a photo of Farhad to his father. since then they have had no contact.
Today, in the fourth decade of his life, Farhad is still looking forward to the release of his father from the Mujahedin Khalq.
He asks the Albanian authorities to facilitate their travel to Albania and help him meet his father even for a few hours.
Following the hacking of Tehran’s municipal systems and disruption of “My Tehran” and surveillance camera networks, the source of which was reported after an investigation to be in Albania, the CEO of the Nejat Society wrote a letter to the Prime Minister of the Albanian government in this regard. The text of the letter is as follows:
Mr. Edi Rama
Prime Minister of the Republic of Albania
On behalf of the families of the members trapped in the Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK) camp in Albania, I have written many times to you and other officials of the Republic of Albania, asking to have the right to communicate with their loved ones after decades of separation and not knowing their status. But unfortunately I have not received any response so far.
The Government and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Albania have unfortunately taken hostile positions towards the awaiting families and refused to issue visas to them, even to the families of those members of the MEK who have separated from this cult and are living in a free world.
The level of influence of the MEK in the Albanian government, which was brought to your country from the beginning apparently for humanitarian reasons, is inconceivable and apparently is not limited to refusing visas to Iranians, but also sabotaging acts against the interests of the Iranian people.
Hacking of Tehran municipal systems is the latest of such cases. In the past, similar cases have been observed regarding gas stations and etc. against the interests of Iranians, the source of all of which, after conducting the necessary research, has been reported to be in Albania.
It is clear that such actions from within your country, which are clearly carried out by the MEK, are considered an obvious enmity with the Iranian nation, and it is very unfortunate that the hostile work of your government, influenced by the presence of the MEK, have gone beyond the family of the captives in the Rajavi Cult and extended to the entire Iranian people.
The authorities of the Republic of Albania may have considered interests and seen benefits in this work, but certainly this way of coming under the domination and influence of a foreign terrorist group, which is claimed to have been brought to Albania with humanitarian intentions, will not gain prestige and dignity for Albania, which desires to join the European Union.
The friendly advice of the families to the Albanian government is to announce, in order to show goodwill to the Iranian people, that the issuance of visas to Iranian citizens to visit their relatives in Albania, of whom they have been unaware for years, is unimpeded and thus determine their non-affiliation with a terrorist group that is hated by all Iranians.

Fatemeh Mohabbati, is the mother of Azadeh Saboor. Azadeh is a member of the Rajavi cult. In 2000, Azadeh and her husband were deceived by the MEK and were captured by them. During all these years, the mother has had no contact with her daughter.
Ms. Mohabbati asks the Albanian Authorities to accelerate a way to visit her daughter,Azadeh Saboor.
To his excellency, the Albanian Prime Minister
Dear Mr. Edi Rama
I am Mohammad Akbarzadeh, the brother of Issa Akbarzadeh. Issa was working in Turkey in 2001 when the recruiters of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO/ MEK/ PMOI/ Cult of Rajavi) kidnapped him and transferred him to their headquarters, Camp Ashraf in Iraq under fake promises of job and residence in Europe.
My brother has been taken as a hostage in the MEK’s camp in Albania and unfortunately, due to the cult-like regulations of the group, he is deprived form all types of communication with his family.
My family and I have had no news of my brother for years. We are really concerned about him. There are also other families who have no possibility to contact their loved ones in Albania and they are seriously worried.
Issa Akbarzadeh
I am pleased to send you some photos and let you be the judge. The first one is a photo of my brother taken for his passport when he was 24 years old. The second one, wearing military uniform shows my brother two years later at Camp Ashraf. It was taken in 2003. At the time, the MEK allowed families to have a short visit with their children in Camp Ashraf under the sever control of several of its commanders. Rajavi imagined that members could influence their families to join the group but it turned out in an opposite way and therefore, any contact with family became forbidden. The last photo relates eight years later, my brother’s departure from Camp Ashraf, taken by an Iraqi soldier.
His excellency,
Why is that a 35-year-old young man look so old, with fake teeth and whatever you see in the photo? Isn’t it because of forced labor and mental torture?
We intend to travel to your country in order to visit my brother but the government of Albania does not issue visa for Iranian families. This is what the terrorist Cult of Rajavi wants. They fear the presence of families in Albania because families can influence members and inform them about the outside world.
The destructive cult of Rajavi is anti-family. It considers family as its main enemy so it always makes efforts to cause separation between members of the cult and their families.
I really appreciate your approval regarding visa issuance for us in order to our traveling to Albania to visit our loved ones.
Yours Sincerely,
Mohammad Akbarzadeh

It has been more than five and a half years since the terrorist Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (a.k.a. MEK, MKO, and PMOI) has relocated to Albania, a small country in southeastern Europe. A process, which took nearly three and a half years, indicates how difficult and complicated the expulsion of fewer than 3,000 members from Iraq to a third country was.
The MEK’s expulsion from Iraq and their acceptance by a third country had been a knotty problem for the Iraqi central government because of their criminal and anti-human rights record, which has been corroborated by numerous international reports, including the European Union.
Eventually, Albania, a small Balkan country, accepted the MEK members after signing an agreement with the United States. Many believe that Albania’s acceptance was because of the United States’ hegemony over Albania and its $20 million aid to the Albanian government, which had been revealed by John Kerry during his meeting with the Albanian Prime Minister in Albania.

However, Albanian officials, being aware of the sensitivity of their decision, insisted that their terrorist guests made pledges not to engage in any political activity and they had been accepted solely for humanitarian reasons. But the fact is that none of these claims of the Albanian authorities came true. The politicians of the Democratic Party who signed the agreement to accept the MEK members in 2013 did not adhere to the claim. And the Socialist Party and Prime Minister Edi Rama offered the strongest support to the terrorist group. The incumbent Albanian Socialist Party had previously accused the Democratic Party of taking huge bribes from the United States in exchange for accepting MEK members on Albanian soil. Strangely enough, the political leaders of both parties are now giving widespread support to the MEK. Members of the MEK were initially housed in buildings in the Albanian capital of Tirana. Gradually, they moved to a more remote site in Durrës County, western Albania, and constructed a highly fortified camp on 34 hectares of farmland when the country was struggling with unfavorable economic conditions.
Albanian officials have suspiciously stepped up their support for the cult of MEK. Forgetting his legal status, Albanian President Ilir Meta attends the MEK camp in Tirana to meet with the leader of the terrorists. Prime Minister Edi Rama spends a significant portion of his time at the UN General Assembly in support of the MEK. Albanian lawmakers have frequently visited the MEK camp and given speeches in their support. In November 2018, former Albanian MP Namik Kopliku said that his country’s politicians were united in welcoming the MEK. Given the serious disagreements between the Albanian political parties, the MEK’s drawing support from Albanian politicians should be seriously investigated as Albania’s political corruption has always been a hindrance to its EU membership. Popular narratives of MEK’s cutting fat checks for some Iraqi and US officials during the last years shed light on the reasons for the Albanian support and speeches in favor of the MEK.
It is the dubious support of the Albanian authorities for the MEK that has led to the group’s freedom of action in the country, a situation that contradicts the initial commitments of the Albanian authorities. The MEK cult, according to the Independent’s 2018 report, has built a state within a state in Albania that implements its own laws. For example, for a large sum of money, it has set up a powerful telecommunication tower overlooking Tirana. “The organization appears to have strong connections to senior Albanian officials.,” the report said. “Pandeli Majko, a minister in the current Albanian government of Prime Minister Edi Rama, Fatmir Mediu, a former defense minister, and Elona Gjebrea, a former deputy interior minister, were with Giuliani in his visit to Tirana earlier this year for Persian New Year festivities hosted by the MEK.” The MEK’s influence among the corrupt Albanian politicians has been so overwhelming that, according to the Independent, even the Albanian police are not allowed to enter their camp. The Albanian Interior Ministry has no control over the compound, which has become a secret underground organization.
At the peak of the coronavirus pandemic and the infection of a significant number of the MEK members which led to the death of a number of them, the Albanian Ministry of Health was not allowed to enter the camp to check the health protocols. In addition, at the heart of the energy crisis which has plagued the country, causing power outages in various parts of the country including Durres, it has been surprising and at the same time irritating for the locals to see the MEK’s camp lit by innumerable lamps.
Undoubtedly, the Albanian government’s different approach to the MEK has seriously raised suspicions of collusion and secret agreements of Albanian officials with this terrorist cult and perhaps its sponsors. In 2020, El País disclosed the MEK’s $1 million support for Spain’s far-right Vox party during its founding in 2013 and the payment of monthly salaries to the party leaders, as well as the payment of 80% of its campaign expenses in the 2014 European Parliament elections. It shows that the group’s tendency to attract foreign support and strengthen its lobby knows few bounds. It becomes highly dangerous if the support is drawn from officials of a small country faced with economic chaos like Albania whose politicians are involved in rife corruption.
Albania performed poorly in the Corruption Perceptions Index 2020 and ranked 104. Housing the MEK with numerous cases of money laundering and corruption is a threat to Albania and would endanger its efforts to join the European Union. The MEK spends huge sums of money to support the political authorities who support them the most. The political leaders, in return, will do their best to attract the attention of this terrorist group. It will be the Albanian people who will suffer from the presence of this terrorist group in Albania and will touch its effects, in the long run.

As the world wakes up to the realisation that more than a quarter of the world’s wheat exports come from Russia and Ukraine, the MEK ( Mujahedin e Khalq ) are in familiar territory. During the MEK’s four decade stay in Iraq (1983-2016), they had to learn how to exist under the various U.S. sanctions on that country. While Albanian media is warning of price rises and shortages of bread due to the current conflict in Ukraine, the MEK will no doubt be quickly scrambling to ensure its own supplies via mafia gangs.
In Iraq, under extreme sanctions, the MEK used its privately sourced bread supply to recruit new members. There is no doubt they will try to use the situation in Albania for the same end. Already the MEK has positioned itself alongside the Albanian police and immigration services to deceptively recruit Iranian, Afghani and other vulnerable asylum seekers as they arrive in Albania. The shortage of bread can only offer even greater leverage.
The fact that the MEK is still trying to recruit new members should sound alarm bells. In spite of the problems the MEK faces due to its ageing and ailing membership, the cult is still actively working with Albanian and Italian mafia gangs. The MEK’s skills in money laundry, military logistics, intelligence and spying and human trafficking could all be utilised during the Ukraine crisis. With its history of mercenary work for Saddam Hussein, Israel, the US and others, the only question is, ‘how much is any side willing to pay?’
