MEK to re-impose brainwashing system in Albania

Reports from Albania reveal that the MEK are attempting to re-impose its brainwashing system. There are three kinds of people in Tirana. First the MEK and their loyalists. Men and women are separated with the men occupying a 12 storey building called Italia House. The women have been moved a kilometre MEK to re-impose brainwashing system in Albania distant.

Apparently Maryam Rajavi is very concerned to restrict their contact with the outside world to prevent any of them running away. Everyone has been instructed, in addition to their daily tasks of cooking and cleaning, to learn English, French or German. Brainwashing sessions are held three times a day. Since Maryam Rajavi is worried about information coming out of Albania she has given direct instructions for everyone to watch each other, to stay inside the building as much as possible and those who need to go shopping should go in groups of at least three and watch each others’ activity.

On their return they have a debriefing session.

The second group are those who have separated but are still dependent on the MEK for legal and/or financial reasons. They are paid $250 per month plus food, but they have to work for the MEK in return and it is also conditional on them not having contact with others. They are more free than the loyalists, don’t have to participate in meetings, but are required to listen to Maryam Rajavi’s proclamations and watch videos.

The third group are those who have separated completely from the MEK are getting no money or food from the MEK, but little by little they are using their freedom to stand on their own feet and get back to a normal life.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization

MKO calls on US to hinder their trial

The Mujahedin-e Khalq terrorist group (a.k.a. MEK and MKO) has asked the US and UN "to condemn" Iran’s demand for extradition of MEK criminals in Camp Liberty to Iran.

Earlier the week and prior to the 4-day visit of a delegation of Iraqi judiciary officials, Habilian Association (families of Iranian terror victims) asked the Iranian officials to pursue the extradition of MKO criminals to Iran.

Later in a meeting on Monday with his Iraqi counterpart Medhat Al-Mahmoud, the Iranian Judiciary Chief Sadeq Amoli Larijani called on Baghdad to extradite the MKO members to stand a fair tribunal in Tehran.

"Most of these (MKO) people have admitted to their crimes and we expect the friendly and brotherly country of Iraq to extradite them to Iran within a legal framework to undergo a fair trial," Amoli Larijani said during the meeting.

In its statement, the MKO described the demand as an "absurd request" and called on the US government and the United Nations to "immediately condemn" the statements and to "adopt urgent and effective measures" to protect these individuals.

Terrorist groups and the MEK

Syrian Opposition Leaders Meet MKO Members in France

A delegation from foreign-backed Syrian National Coalition held a meeting with a group of the terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) in the French capital of Paris, media reports said. Syrian Opposition Leaders Meet MKO Members in France

A delegation from the opposition Syrian National Coalition headed by Badr Jamous, the secretary-general of the coalition, and Abdulahad Astepho, a member of the coalition, met with a grup of MKO members in Paris on Tuesday, Jamous told Turkey’s Anadolu Agency.

The meeting was held in a hotel in Paris at the request of MKO members, Jamous said, adding that the meeting was aimed at promoting friendship, coordination and exchanging experiences between the two sides.

The MKO — listed as a terrorist organization by much of the international community — fled Iran in 1986 for Iraq, fought on the side of Saddam Hussein during the Iraqi imposed war on Iran (1980-88), and was given a camp by Saddam.

The group has been behind numerous acts of terror against Iranian civilians and officials, and was involved in the 1991 bloody repression of Shiite Muslims in southern Iraq, and the massacre of Iraqi Kurds in the country’s north.

Elsewhere, Jamous pointed to France’s military support for the Syrian opposition groups, and said they were still waiting for the country’s response as Paris is still mulling over arming the Syrian opposition.

“In Syria, we are facing the problem of air strikes and we have asked France to send us anti-aircraft weapons,” he went to say.

Meantime, French President Francois Hollande also met on Tuesday with the leader of Syria’s opposition National Coalition, Ahmad al-Jarba, in the Elysee Palace, Paris.

Hollande also announced that the opposition Syrian National Coalition’s office in Paris will be opened soon.

Syria has been gripped by a deadly unrest since 2011. The UN says more than 130,000 people have been killed since the beginning of the unrest in 2011. More than 2.2 million Syrians have fled to neighboring countries while an estimated 4.25 million have been displaced internally.

It recently warned against the humanitarian situation in Syria, saying that over nine million people are in need of urgent aid due to the crisis in the Middle Eastern country.

Iran

Iran Pursuing Extradition of Mojahedin Khalq Members through Int’l Bodies

Spokeswoman: Iran Pursuing Extradition of Mojahedin Khalq (MKO, MEK, NCRI, Rajavi cult) Members through Int’l Bodies

Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marziyeh Afkham said Tehran is resolved to bring back members of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO, also known as MEK, PMOI and NCR) terrorist group to Iran and is pursuing the issue through international bodies.

“There are talks between the Iranian and Iraqi officials on the issue of Monafeqin (hypocrites as MKO members are called in Iran); the crimes of this grouplet are known to everyone and they are a terrorist group which has killed 17,000 Iranians. There are numerous documents existing in this regard and we have always urged the Iraqi government to extradite them to Iran,” Afkham told reporters in Tehran on Tuesday.

Noting that Iran is in talks with the international bodies to extradite the MKO members to Iran, she said, “Meantime, we have announced that those who have not committed any crimes, armed attacks and murder can return to the country and their cases will be studied.”

In relevant remarks on Sunday, Iranian Judiciary Chief Sadeq Amoli Larijani in a meeting with his Iraqi counterpart Medhat Al-Mahmoud called on Baghdad to extradite the members of the MKO to stand a fair tribunal in Tehran.

“Most of these (MKO) people have admitted to their crimes and we expect the friendly and brotherly country of Iraq to extradite them to Iran within a legal framework to undergo a fair trial,” Amoli Larijani said during the meeting.

He reminded that based on proof and evidence, the MKO members are responsible for the assassination of more than 17,000 Iranian citizens.

Also after the meeting with the Iraqi judiciary chief, Amoli Larijani told reporters that he has rigidly asked the Al-Mahmoud to prepare the grounds for the extradition of the MKO members to Iran to account for their crimes against the Iranians.

In mid-April, Iranian Justice Minister Mostafa Pour Mohammadi and his Iraqi counterpart Hassan al-Shammari in a meeting in Baghdad explored avenues for bolstering and reinvigorating mutual cooperation.

During the meeting, the Iranian and Iraqi justice ministers signed a memorandum of understating (MoU) on extradition of prisoners. According to the agreement, the Iranian and Iraqi justice ministries would set up a joint committee at the earliest to examine the situation of the prisoners and prepare the ground for their extradition.

Many of the MKO members have abandoned the terrorist organization while most of those still remaining in the grouplet are said to be willing to quit but are under pressure and torture not to do so.

A recent Human Rights Watch report accused the MKO of running prison camps in Iraq and committing human rights violations.

According to the Human Rights Watch report, the outlawed group puts defectors under torture and jail terms.

The MKO, founded in the 1960s, blended elements of Islamism and Stalinism and participated in the overthrow of the US-backed Shah of Iran in 1979. Ahead of the revolution, the MKO conducted attacks and assassinations against both Iranian and Western targets.

The group started assassination of the citizens and officials after the revolution in a bid to take control of the newly-established Islamic Republic. It killed several of Iran’s new leaders in the early years after the revolution, including the then President, Mohammad Ali Rajayee, Prime Minister, Mohammad Javad Bahonar and the Judiciary Chief, Mohammad Hossein Beheshti who was killed in bomb attacks by MKO members in 1981.

The group fled to Iraq in 1986, where it was protected by Saddam Hussein and where it helped the Iraqi dictator suppress Shiite and Kurd uprisings in the country.

The terrorist group joined Saddam’s army during the Iraqi imposed war on Iran (1980-1988) and helped Saddam and killed thousands of Iranian civilians and soldiers during the US-backed Iraqi imposed war on Iran.

Since the 2003 US invasion of Iraq, the group, which now adheres to a pro-free-market philosophy, has been strongly backed by neo-conservatives in the United States, who argued for the MKO to be taken off the US terror list.

In September 2012, the last groups of the MKO terrorists left Camp Ashraf, their main training center in Iraq’s Diyala province. They have been transferred to Camp Liberty transient facility near Baghdad.

Maryam Rajavi

MKO Ringleader Orders Execution of Defected Members

The ringleader of the terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO, also known as MEK, NCRI or PMOI), Maryam Rajavi, has issued an order for the assassination and execution of any member who intends to defect the group, media reports revealed on Saturday.

Rajavi in a message two weeks ago branded those MKO members trying to defect the group as enemy and also called for murdering them, informed sources disclosed to the Persian-language Ashraf News website.

She has asked the MKO ringleaders in Camp Liberty to gather intelligence and find out who intends to defect the group.

Many of the MKO members have abandoned the terrorist organization while most of those still remaining in the group are said to be willing to quit but are under pressure and torture not to do so.

A recent Human Rights Watch report accused the MKO of running prison camps in Iraq and committing human rights violations.

According to the Human Rights Watch report, the outlawed group puts defectors under torture and jail terms.

The group fled to Iraq in 1986, where it was protected by Saddam Hussein and where it helped the Iraqi dictator suppress Shiite and Kurd uprisings in the country.

Iraqi Envoy: Defected MKO Members Willing to Return to Iran

Many defected members of the terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO, also known as MEK, NCRI or PMOI) are willing to surrender themselves to the Tehran government to return to Iran, a senior Iraqi diplomat said.

"If the grounds are paved to facilitate their (MKO members) repatriation to Iran this can persuade other MKO members to do the same," Iraqi Ambassador to Tehran Mohammad Majid Al-Sheikh told FNA on Saturday.

He explained that 10 MKO members are currently settled in a hotel in Baghdad waiting to return to Iran, and said, "The representative of the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has asked me to talk to the Iranian officials to facilitate the return of these MKO members to Iran."

The Iraqi ambassador pointed to an agreement between Iran and Iraq on extradition of criminals, and said, "This agreement will be implemented in the next several weeks and we are doing our best to implement it."

He reiterated that if Iran files a lawsuit against the MKO at the Interpol, the Interpol can take action and arrest the MKO members and hand them over to Iran according to the universally accepted laws on the extradition of criminals.

The last group of MKO terrorists at Camp Ashraf, now called Camp New Iraq, was evicted by the Iraqi government on September 11, 2012 to join other members of the terrorist group in the former US-held Camp Liberty, now called Camp Hurriya, near Baghdad International Airport where they are awaiting relocation to other countries.

The group fled to Iraq in 1986, where it was protected by Saddam Hussein and where it helped the Iraqi dictator suppress Shiite and Kurd uprisings in the country.

Since the 2003 US invasion of Iraq, the group, which now adheres to a pro-free-market philosophy, has been strongly backed by neo-conservatives in the United States, who eventually took the MKO off the US terror list.

The US formally removed the MKO from its list of terror organizations in early September 2012, one week after the then Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, sent the US Congress a classified communication about the move. The decision made by Clinton enabled the group to have its assets under the US jurisdiction unfrozen and do business with the American entities, the State Department said in a statement at the time.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

MKO recruitment drive for a fresh programme of violence

The Mojahedin Khalq is to hold a meeting on the afternoon of Saturday 12 April in Paris. The event is being held under the banner of a concocted organisation called ‘Iranian Youth of Europe and America’, which has not been heard of before and will, no doubt, never be heard of again. MEK operatives have been active in recruiting attendees. The MEK is facing a critical situation; the forces (hostages) inside Camp Liberty are becoming harder to control, and the camp itself is under pressure from the international community to close. The MEK is at a dead end and its supporters in western countries are becoming more vocal and more critical of what the MEK strategy is and why no progress is being made. In typical MEK style this event in Paris will masquerade as activity and progress, thereby keeping these supporters charged and happy – basically ‘on message’. Some weeks ago the MEK held a similar event gathering 300 ‘supporter associations’ in Paris to listen to a panel of non-Iranian paid speakers.

There is no purpose to this meeting except to buy time through false activity. Similarly the MEK held pickets and a hunger strike last Autumn, which pushed the hostages in Camp Liberty to the limit of hunger. Similarly the MEK ordered self-immolations in Paris in 2003 when Maryam Rajavi was arrested by French anti-terrorism police.

Experts have identified this meeting as a recruitment drive to attract new people and re-charge existing supporters for a fresh programme of violence in Europe and elsewhere. Massoud Rajavi has been tasked by his backers to use the MEK in whatever way possible to prevent or hinder rapprochement between Iran and the West. While it is under the protection of the West, the MEK will not recruit for this purpose under its own name because it does not want to be held responsible for any ensuing violence. However, anyone recruited on Saturday under the banner of ‘Iranian Youth of Europe and America’ will go on to be charged-up (ie brainwashed) to commit acts of violence or hunger strikes, etc. Interestingly, none of the higher ranks will ever be involved in suffering of any description, not hunger strikes, self-immolation or imprisonment. For this reason a warning must be given to Iranians and the international community that the MEK is preparing the ground for violence and disruption.
