Defectors of MKO Cult distributed and installed hundreds of booklets, journals, brochures, flyers and posters in Auver Sur d’Oise, France, Yaran- e Iran Website reported.

MKO defectors denounced the group as a destructive cult which attacked its own members’ families in front their base in Iraq[Camp Liberty].

The brochures involved also the French foreign Ministry as well as France’s Media and research institutions’ analysis on the Mujahedin-e Khalq as an undemocratic, violent Cult.

Survivors of the Cult of Rajavi handed out dozens of the book “Mujahedin Khalq, a cult in the heart of Paris” written by the French Senator Ms. Nathalie Goulet between the Aver sur d’Oise residents esp. the youth and students.

The people welcomed the denouncing campaign and asked for more information on the true face of the MKO Cult and its background and activities. The residents expressed their dissatisfaction on the group’s presence on their homeland.

The MKO elements tried to disturb the defectors’ enlightening action; however the townspeople’s support drove them back.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

June 17, 2003: perils or promises for the MKO

“Interestingly it was through Neda Hassani that I met my future husband because she worked in the MEK’s Westminster based PR office where he was also stationed and I was sent to work with her. How ironic it seems now that while Massoud and I were leaving, she was getting more deeply involved. Like ships in the night we passed each other by, unaware of our future destinies. Even at the time I remember trying to talk to her and explain that the MEK are not what she thought they were. But of course, the radicalization process had already begun and she couldn’t heed my warnings.” Ann Singleton, former member of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO/ MEK/ the Cult of Rajavi).

The destiny of Neda Hassani was tied to the arrest of the MKO leader Maryam Rajavi by the French Police, on June 17th, 2003. To protest the arrest of the cult leader, a dozen of the group members set themselves on fire in the streets of the European capitals. Neda Hassani was one of those radicalized members of the group who lost her life for the freedom of the cult leader. According to the MKO propaganda, Maryam Rajavi was their “hope for freedom”! Another woman, Sedigheh Mojaveri died because of the self-immolation and several others became paralyzed.

Consequently, Maryam Rajavi was freed but what was the outcome of the incidents of June 2003 for the group and for the world around it?

After the American invasion to Iraq in March 2003 and the collapse of the Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, the MKO lost its main military and financial sponsor. The US military first bombed the group’s camps in Iraq and then signed an agreement with it. Following the agreement, the US military disarmed the MKO. Disarmament of the group was actually like confiscating its identity. The MKO’s essence and identity was based on armed struggle and violence. Its tanks, military trucks, weapons and arms were sacred objects in the hands of members.

Disarmament of the MKO and the fall of Saddam Hussein caused an increasing demand for defection from the group. Dissident members could not accept the MKO’s alliance with the US imperialism, formerly known as the main enemy of the Khalq (people). They found it contradictory to stay disarmed in Iraq under the shelter of the US forces. They began questioning the leaders’ strategies and eventually left the group’s cult-like brainwashing system. Since 2003, defectors of the MKO formed a huge wave of revelations about the horrible and abusive system of the MKO.

In addition, the fall of Saddam Hussein frightened the MKO leaders. Maryam Rajavi and a number of high-ranking members of the group fled Iraq to France just a few weeks before the French Police’s raid on their headquarters in Auver sur d’Oise, Paris. Massoud Rajavi in his turn was terrified by the arrest of Maryam and has disappeared since then!

The newly-established Iraqi government, a friend of its neighboring country Iran, and hostile with the MKO for its long-time alliance with Saddam Hussein in the suppression of Iraqi Kurds and Shiites, did not want the cult of Rajavi in its territory. Some years lasted until the Iraqi government succeeded to shut down the MKO’s beloved and glorified base Camp Ashraf. By the aid of the UN authorities, the MKO is gradually relocated in Albania, Europe. Therefore since 2003 the MKO has been on decline.

On the other side, the human torches before the eyes of Europeans citizens clarified the existence of a cult in the heart of Europe. Suicide and Self-immolation is the normal reaction of most of the cults in case that their guru is in danger or if they are ordered by the guru. Self-immolations added a new dark page to the history of the notorious Mujahedin khalq.

Although the MKO propaganda uses the names of Neda Hassani and Sedigheh Mojaveri as martyrs and heroes who sacrificed themselves for their leader, the world sees significant signs of cult-like indoctrination and coercion in the death of two young women. The MKO definitely demoted from a political movement to a destructive cult in the view of the international community –it was previously detested by the Iranians for its terrorist acts and its alliance with Saddam Hussein.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

Female Suspect Arrested in Albania over Tehran Blast: Iran’s Police

Iran’s Police spokesman said the Interpol has arrested a female member of the terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) in Albania for involvement in a bomb blast at the headquarters of the Islamic Republic Party in Tehran in 1981. Speaking to the Tasnim News Agency on Sunday, General Saeed Montazer-al-Mahdi said the woman was arrested after she was put on the Interpol’s Red Notice, a warrant that necessitates measures to seek the location and arrest of a person wanted by a judicial jurisdiction or an international tribunal with a view to his or her extradition.

On June 28, 1981, a powerful bomb went off at the headquarters of Iran’s Islamic Republic Party in Tehran, while the members were holding a meeting.

It was revealed later that the MKO was behind the terrorist blast.

72 Iranian officials were killed in the explosion, including Chief Justice Ayatollah Mohammad Beheshti, four cabinet ministers, 27 members of the parliament and several other government officials.

The MKO – listed as a terrorist organization by much of the international community – fled Iran in 1986 for Iraq and was given a camp by former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.

They fought on the side of Saddam during the Iraqi imposed war on Iran (1980-88). They were also involved in the bloody repression of Shiite Muslims in southern Iraq in 1991 and the massacre of Iraqi Kurds.

The notorious group is also responsible for killing thousands of Iranian civilians and officials after the victory of the Islamic revolution in 1979.

More than 17,000 Iranians, many of them civilians, have been killed at the hands of the MKO in different acts of terrorism including bombings in public places, and targeted killings.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

MKO former member: The group has been pushed back from many arenas

Behzad Alishahi – former MEK cameraman and broadcaster – has written a detailed article in Persian about the ways the MEK misuse the vulnerability of refugees.
so that they will fight against each other rather than joining together to attack the MEK. More than anything though, the MEK pay lobbyists with respectable titles, such as members of parliament, to write false letters to the authorities and services in their countries against these individuals.

Alishahi says that although none of this is new, the circumstances are changed. The MEK has been pushed back from many arenas, from the international and European political scene, from the nuclear issue, and they are being thrown out of Iraq and from Iranian communities outside Iran. It is time for everyone to join together and expose the MEK and put their paid agents in their place by taking them to court for abusing their positions.

Mujahedin Khalq; A proxy force

Eight years after delisting, the UK still doesn’t trust the MKO

Eight years ago, on May 7th, Britain’s court of appeal ordered the removal of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO) from the list of terrorist entities under the British law. At the time the group’s propaganda media claimed that it won an important victory being hopeful that the court victory in Britain would lead to the group’s legalization in Europe as well, potentially allowing it more freedom to organize and raise money across the continent, according to the Associated Press.

Therefore, the group’s supporters celebrated the alleged victory in their Paris based headquarters. They saw the ruling as an opening for the isolated and controlled situation they had been kept in following the arrest of their co-leader Maryam Rajavi and a number of other members of the group, in June 2003.

It was exactly the same time that the leader of the cult-like MKO Massoud Rajavi was disappeared. He has been in hiding for thirteen years now. Given that he is alive, he still does not dare to get out of his safe shelter because he knows well that the free world is not a safe place for him and his partners in his cult of personality.

As a matter of fact, the world made it clear that it does not want a destructive cult with a dark history of violence and human rights abuse. Particularly in case of the UK, it was revealed in a WikiLeaks document that was published by the Telegraph on February 4th, 2011. The document says:

“The UK Court of Appeals ruled May 7 unambiguously in favor of the Iran oppositionist group Mujahadeen e Khalq (MEK, aka MKO aka NCRI) on its long-standing petition to be de-listed as a terrorist group under UK domestic law (ref). The UK Government, which had fought the MEK’s petition from the trial level up, told Embassy it has no further legal or political recourse and must comply with the ruling; the MEK will be de-listed and its assets unfrozen sometime within the next six weeks. Official British focus has shifted to making clear that, despite the ruling, HMG will have no contact or dealings with the MEK, and to reassuring the Iranian government that the HMG continues to view the MEK as a non-credible group.”

The MKO has been a non-credible group since it has been in exile in the early 1980s. that’s why the UK government (HMG) states that it” would comply with the court’s order but would have no contact with the MEK”. The evidence is the group’s current situation in Iraq. The Iraqi government urges on the expulsion of the group from its territory and the European states including Britain do not accept to receive the MKO members in their soil except Albania which is one of the poorest countries of the eastern bloc.

The Albanian state admitted to host about 1,000 members of the MKO, over the past two years. The U.S. has assisted Albania in its efforts to resettle the residents of Camp Liberty in Albanian capital, Tirana. The US government has not admitted to receive the MKO members in its territory but it has donated $20 million to the U.N. refugee agency to help resettle the MKO, according to the State Department official. Besides, the U.S. has also provided Albania with security and economic development assistance, to help the country build up its physical capacity to house the refugees. So, the Albanian government sounds to be forced to host the destructive cult of Rajavi in its soil.

Evidently, the MKO is not welcome in Europe.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization's Propaganda System

Fake News for Real Photos, Scandal for MKO Propaganda

In a very unprofessional gaffe, the English website of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO) publishes a photo absolutely unrelated to the so-called news about Iranian teachers.

The MKO propaganda claims to be the voice of the Iranian people propagating various news on the alleged riots, protests and revolt of the Iranian people! The most recent of the so-called protests is now seen on the group’s propaganda website Mojahedin.org under the title, “Iranian teachers in Hamedan rally to demand basic rights”.

The text of the alleged news quotes what it calls “independent reporters” reporting that “dozens of Iranian teachers took part in a rally in Hamedan, western Iran on Friday, demanding their basic rights and also the release of imprisoned teachers”. Surprisingly, a photo of teachers’ walking program in Hamedan with the fake caption reveals the misinformation campaign of the MKO propaganda.

While the MKO’s news claims that the teachers held up banners “which pointed out that their colleagues were being arrested in Iran simply for demanding their basic rights, such as fair wages,” teachers in the photo are carrying a banner in Persian with these exact words: “Family walking gathering of teachers of Hamedan Province”! The banner also includes the exact date and itinerary of the walking program. In addition, people in the picture include men, women and children walking peacefully on the side walk of the street.

Definitely, this is not the first time that the MKO propaganda seems to try to fool its English speaking audience by fake news and misinformation accompanied with real pictures. All through the years of conflicts on the Iranian nuclear program between Iran and the West, the MKO tried to launch propaganda to obstruct any deal between the two sides. From time to time, It held numerous press conferences on what it called “new revelations on the Iranian nuclear weapon program” showing some ambiguous satellite picture, maps and photographs to dupe its few spectators. Ultimately, the group’s efforts to misinform the West did not work and the deal was reached.

The new scandal on the MKO propaganda website is just another evidence on the group as “skilled manipulators of public opinion” as Rand Report calls them—although this time they do not look so skilled.

Iraqi Authorities' stance on the MEK

MP: Iraqi Kurds do not want the MKO in Iraqi territory

Kurd member of Iraqi Parliament asserts that Iraqi Kurds do not want the Mujahedin Khalq Organization in Iraqi territory.

Mr. Rinas Jano Mohammad Younis, a deputy of Kurdistan Democratic Party from Dahuk Province told Ashraf News, “Kurds have been victims of the MKO as it was cooperating with Saddam Hussein.”

“The role of the MKO and the crimes it committed against Iraqi people including Arabs, Kurds and Turkmens is known to everyone,” Mr. Jano added. “Iraqi government has so far tolerated members of this terrorist organization because European countries have promised to receive it in their soil.”

The Kurdish parliament member considers the United Nations as the main responsible body to determine the future of the remaining members of this Iranian organization, in Iraq. “The UN has a heavy responsibility on the issue of the group since it has been a side of the agreement that was signed based on relocation of members of the Mujahedin Khalq out of Iraq,” Mr. Jano said.

The deputy of Kurdistan alliance in Iraqi Parliament denied that Kurdish alliance fraction wants the MKO members to remain in Iraq. ”We support the rule of Iraqi government on its territory and the expulsion of any terrorist group that is hostile to neighboring countries of Iraq,” he stated.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization's Propaganda System

Perils for the MKO, the US purchasing Iran’s heavy water

As the leading enemy of the Iranian Government on the nuclear affairs, the US is now starting the first financial deals with Iran. The news of the US buying Iran’s heavy water marks a significant message to other players against the Iranian nuclear program. As a vocal opponent of diplomacy, the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO) has received the message so it has launched an aggressive propaganda against the deal.

The MKO’s spokesman in the US Alireza Jaffarzadeh called the US decision “another unjustified concession” and “rewarding” the Iranian government. However, certain analysts including Jay Solomon of the Wall Street Journal considers this deal “a new gambit in a growing White House effort to encourage Tehran to stick to the nuclear agreement reached last year”.[1]

The MKO’s stance is as usual shared with their republican sponsors in the US Congress. "The White House wants to ease Iran’s concerns that it is not reaping the expected economic benefits of the nuclear accord”, Jay Solomon writes. ”But its efforts to buttress the Iranian economy have ignited fresh ire among Republicans in Congress who are drafting new legislation to block any Iranian economic integration with the U.S.”. American warmongers criticized the administration for “subsidizing Tehran’s nuclear program”. [2]

What the MKO fears most is seen in this paragraph by Jay Solomon: “The purchase agreement is the latest sign of rapprochement between Washington and Tehran after decades of hostilities. As part of the nuclear accord, the U.S. and global powers lifted certain sanctions on Iran. And the U.S. Treasury in recent months granted licenses to American companies, including Boeing Co. to return to the Iranian market. “[3]

As a matter of fact, rapprochement between Tehran and Washington results in more isolation for the MKO. While the MKO propaganda do not hesitate to obstruct any agreement between Iran and the West, there is a true fact that the US actually needs Iran’s heavy water. So, the purchase agreement seems to be a mutually beneficial deal for both sides. According to the WSJ, “The U.S. doesn’t produce heavy water domestically, and largely has been purchasing the material from Canada and other foreign countries in recent years. It imports around 75 tons of heavy water annually, according to Department of Energy officials.” [4]

Besides, the director of the Press Office of US Department of State, Ms. Elizabeth Trudeau clarified for journalists in a Press Briefing on April 22, “This heavy water will fulfill a substantial portion of the U.S. domestic demand this year for industry and domestic research applications.” She added, “Our purchase of the heavy water means it will instead be used for critically important research in non-nuclear industrial requirements here in the United States.” [5]

This indicates that the Islamic Republic has officially become an exporter of heavy water to the world. Bad news for the MKO is that the two first costumers of Ian’s heavy water are two super powers, the US and Russia. “Iran is holding talks with Russia to sell it about 40 tons of heavy water from its nuclear program “, reported the Reuters. “The Russian Foreign Ministry later confirmed Moscow was considering the purchase.” [6]

As the MKO detests the notion of rapprochement between Iran and the West, the practically successful nuclear deal will make the MEK more inapt. So far, the MEK has not succeeded to impose a significant challenge to the Iran-West nuclear conflicts, but western politicians should watch the group as a nuisance in the process of reaching peace.

Camp Liberty

Five more Camp Liberty residents defect the MKO

Sources to Ashraf News: Defection of five Mojahedin Khalq members in Camp Liberty

Iraqi security sources revealed on Monday that five members of the MKO terrorist organization, who are in Camp Liberty in Baghdad, declared their defection and turned themselves to security forces stationed near the perimeter of the camp.

Police Colonel, Mohsen Jaber Al-Kanani, told the reporter of Ashraf News, “Five members of the Organization of Iran (PMOI) defected on Sunday from the organization and turned themselves to the security forces after they managed to leave Camp Liberty.”

Al-Kanani said that the Iraqi police handed over those five to the United Nations mission in Baghdad, noting that “the dissidents were Ali Hussein Khodabandeh, Mohsen Tayeb Zadeh, Massoud Bakhshi Zadeh, Sayed Jalal Rahimpour, Manouchehr Shirazi,” .. “three of the dissidents are from Kermanshah province in western Iran."

Hundreds of MKO terrorist organization members who are in Camp Liberty seek to defect, leave the organization and join their families who have been protesting more than a month in front of the Camp, demanding to meet with their sons detained by the organization leaders Maryam and Massoud Rajavi.
