Mujahedin Khalq as a Destructive Cult

Mr. Razaghi Open letter to Ambassador Dritan Tola of Albania

Dear Excellency,

I am Mohammad Razaghi. I have been a member of the Mojahedin Khalq (Rajavi cult) for about 20 years, spending the best years of my life in the military camps of Saddam Hussein and Massoud Rajavi under conditions of brainwashing and physical abuse. I can say from first-hand experience that Massoud Rajavi and Maryam Rajavi have created a new version of slavery in the camps which were gifted to them by Saddam Hussain, and have used the enslaved members for purely personal benefit.

We were imprisoned at their hands in their camps. Massoud and Maryam Rajavi were personally responsible for creating the rules and regulations, and these ‘laws’ were implemented by their henchmen against us. Unfortunately now even after the fall of the dictator of Iraq, Saddam, this practice is still ongoing. The enslaved hostages are not allowed to move freely and walk out of the camp (now Camp Liberty). They are not allowed to send or receive mails or emails to and from their families and friends.

The so-called ‘members’ are not allowed to talk about their problems. All they are allowed to say is what has been dictated by the leaders. They are forced to repeat this and not to say anything else.

Inside the cult, men and women are not allowed to have any normal human relationship with each other. On the other hand, private conversations between even two men or two women are forbidden and can be seen as “plotting” by the leaders and hence punishable.

Members have no right to decide for their own future and the leaders choose everything, even things like what they should eat, drink or wear, etc.

Dear Ambassador Tola,

I thank you and the government of Albania for your humanitarian efforts in accepting some of the members of this organisation which has removed these people away from the dangers of remaining in Iraq. Your government has demonstrated its commitment to human rights by taking this important step to save to lives of these unfortunate people.

But what we hear from Tirana is somehow disturbing. We hear that Maryam Rajavi is sending her top known agents from Paris and these agents, who are from her ‘Leadership Council’, are now trying to control the lives of the recently arrived people as they did in the Iraqi camps. The pressure on these survivors of Camp Liberty who are now in your country is constant.

The Rajavi cult leaders threaten the newly arrived people and do not let them come out of the camp so they are now still fully under cult control in Albania. People have to ask for permission and with acceptable reasons to get exit visas from the commanders.

Some of the well-known torturers of Saddam’s Private Army (MKO) like Hassan Ezati (aka Nariman) or Mokhtar Janat Sadeghi (aka Mokhtar) or Hooshang Doodkani, have now been sent to Albania. These people are trained by Saddam’s forces and are now using their expertise to make the newly arrived people to submit the leaders’ demands.

The names of some of the people who have lost their lives under torture in the prisons of Saddam and Rajavi at the hands of these henchmen are:

Gharban ali Torabi Killed under torture

Jalil Bozorgmehr killed under torture

Parviz Ahmadin killed under torture

Dear Ambassador Tola,

I am not the only victim of torture carried out on the direct order of Massoud and Maryam Rajavi in Saddam’s camps and at the hands of these torturers who are now stationed in Albania. I am asking you to allow us to attend a court of law in your country to present our claims and allow us to seek justice.

While I was imprisoned on the direct order of Rajavi, I also witnessed the torture and murder of others in these cells. I would like to have the opportunity to provide witness statements about these crimes.

I would also like to warn your government that this cult is certainly capable of ordering its members under the influence of drugs as well as brainwashing to carry out self-immolation or to burn others – as they demonstrated clearly in the streets of European capitals in 2003 where some of them lost their lives and several others were left permanently scarred and disabled.

I would also like to warn you that some of these people now in your county have received high level training in explosives from Saddam’s Republican Guards.

Dear Ambassador Tola,

I believe that the only solution to these threats is not to allow the cult leaders to continue keeping their hold on these people. (At the simplest level they keeping control of them by paying 500 dollars per month in exchange for their cooperation.) Otherwise you will face having a dangerous cult take root in your country.

I would like to say that I and my other friends with similar experiences are ready to give evidence in a court of law.

Yours sincerely,

Mohammad Razaghi

Albania

Albania must protect human rights of Iranian refugees from MEK

Rajavi cult abuse – Albania must protect human rights of Iranian refugees from MEK

Albania’s efforts to improve its human rights and bring them into line with European and international standards could be seriously undermined if it does not take action to curtail the activities of the terrorist Mojahedin Khalq cult organisation in that country. There is strong evidence that the MEK has bought land and property just outside Tirana in order to create a closed cult enclave similar to ones in Iraq, and that it is using coercion to keep refugees captive there where they are subject to systematic human rights abuses outside the supervision of the Albanian authorities.

The MEK is a terrorist organisation. It is being dismantled in Iraq because its presence and its activities there are illegal under Iraq’s constitutional law. UN officials have made high level efforts to persuade third countries to accept these individuals, in particular those with previous connections to those countries. Understandably, most Western countries have been extremely reluctant to allow trained terrorists into their countries even as refugees. Albania has, however, generously accepted to receive some of the Iranians as refugees. Since 2013, over four hundred of these former MEK combatants have been transferred from Camp Liberty in Iraq to Tirana by the UNHCR as refugees.

Unfortunately UN officials responsible for undertaking to transfer the residents of Camp Liberty have been hindered further in their task by the cult nature of the group. The MEK leaders have effectively imprisoned and isolated the residents of Camp Liberty just outside Baghdad, and refuse to allow them to leave independently or have contact with the outside world. This has meant that families wishing to help their loved ones have been unable to do so. MEK treatment of these people involves the violation of nearly all their internationally recognised human rights; including the right to form a family, to enjoy citizenship, freedom of belief and many more.

Once they arrive in Albania one of the first things all the new arrivals do is to contact their families and seek out other forms of support. The refugees are given time limited support by the UN refugee agency – accommodation and a small living allowance – which is deemed sufficient for them to settle in their new country and make new lives for themselves.

But the MEK does not easily relinquish its control over these former members and has made every effort to prevent them from living independently. One obvious reason is that the MEK want to maintain numbers so they can advertise to Western sponsors as an opposition group. But more importantly, these new arrivals are desperate to tell their stories. They want to speak out about the suffering they endured, some for many, many years. Their stories are of terrible internal human rights abuses committed by the MEK leaders over a period of thirty years (documented by HRW and RAND) and which are still ongoing. They are also witnesses to the MEK’s war crimes while the leaders Massoud and Maryam Rajavi collaborated with Saddam Hussein. The MEK is desperate to silence them.

As the first group arrived, the MEK dispatched senior members from Paris to intimidate them and re-create the cult hierarchy in Tirana. Although unable to physically contain these people, the MEK first offered money and then issued threats to coerce them into compliance. Even so, over half of them rejected the MEK.

The MEK has now created a physical space in which the cult can continue to impose the same strict controls that exist in all its bases. Albanian authorities overseeing the resettlement of these refugees may choose to believe the MEK’s deceptive arguments that this is a humanitarian act because this appears to fulfil the obligations the government has toward the refugees. But former MEK members and cult experts know that already this inaccessible enclave hides systematic human rights abuses.

A country’s commitment to improve human rights for its citizens must not be allowed to exclude the most vulnerable people, including refugees. If Albania is serious about ratifying international human rights conventions and harmonising existing legislation to comply with European standards this issue must be addressed as a matter of urgency before conditions for these vulnerable refugees become intractable.

Mujahedin Khalq; A proxy force

lobbyists demand MEK terrorist cult in Iraq be re-armed rather than removed

Rajavi’s lobbyists demand Mojahedin Khalq terrorist cult in Iraq be re-armed rather than removed

It is surely ironic that the same bunch of people who lobbied hard and at great expense to have the Mojahedin Khalq terrorist cult removed from European and American terrorist lists (the flimsy claim they had renounced terrorism was only possible because in 2003 the US army captured, disarmed and confined them to a single camp in Iraq), is now lobbying to have them re-armed.

Whether delusional or corrupt, this gang – listed below and now posing as the International Committee in Search of Justice (ISJ) – says the residents of Camp Liberty should have their “personal protection weapons returned to them for self-defence following serious threats and attacks [sic] as the Iranian regime’s intervention in Iraq grows”. But has neglected to inform their English speaking audience that the MEK leader, Massoud Rajavi, has demanded the MEK be re-armed with heavy weapons as well as small arms.

In any case, anyone who knows anything about the situation of Camp Liberty knows that the residents are deliberately imprisoned incommunicado inside the camp by the MEK leaders, that the greatest danger these residents face is from these MEK leaders, and that small arms are wanted in order to impose greater control over these captives as they become more and more desperate to escape the tyranny of the cult.

The ISJ statement should certainly not be read without context: Since attaining sovereignty in 2009, each successive government of Iraq has designated the MEK as a terrorist entity which must, under the Constitution, be entirely removed from Iraqi territory. The demand for re-arming rather than removing this group is doubly insulting for a country still swarming with Western spawned terrorist groups.

Perhaps the most ironic ‘complaint’ of the Committee is that the government of Iraq is not investigating the September 1, 2013 attack on Camp Ashraf in which fifty three people died. How is this possible when forty two key eye witnesses – survivors of the attack – have been incarcerated by the MEK inside Camp Liberty so that no investigator in the world has access to them?

Instead of demanding the MEK be re-armed ready to utilize violence again – the raison d’etre of the terrorist cult – this gang should be demanding from Massoud and Maryam Rajavi that each resident of Camp Liberty be given the opportunity to make contact with their families in privacy and to freely leave the camp if they desire. Then we would see how quickly and efficiently these people can be resettled.

List of members of the ISJ according to the MEK:

Alejo Vidal-Quadras, former MEP; Patrick Kennedy, former Congressman; Günter Verheugen, former member of the EU Commission; Nicole Fontaine, former MEP; General Hugh Shelton former US military; David Kilgour, former Canadian Secretary of State; Ingrid Betancourt; Raymond Tanter; Horst Teltschik; Colonel Wesley Martin, former US military; Senator Lucio Malan, Italian Senate; Alessandro Pagano MP; Antonio Razzi, Italian Senate; Gérard Deprez MEP; Ryszard Czarnecki, MEP; Tunne Kelam MEP; Lord Carlile, UK; Lord Clarke, UK; Lord Maginnis, UK; Lord Dholakia, UK

The cult of Rajavi

Rajavi panic the collapse of his cult

After the relocation of a few hundred of members of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization in Albania, the organizations’ leadership found it crucial to maintain its rule over relocated members who were not isolated in the cult hegemony anymore. In order to keep members under the cult control in Albania, the MKO needed to use its most reliable servants.

One of these servants is Faezeh Mohabatkar who has been recently sent to Tirana too. She is one of five assistants of the MKO’s first commander.

The relocation of such a person to Tirana shows that the MKO leaders are planning to reorganize their cult-like group in Albania and Europe. Massoud and Maryam Rajavi probably are counting on Albania as a new container for their cult of personality.

The new commander for MKO members in Tirana seems to be fully trusted by the leaders. Faezeh Mohabatkar apparently fits all the criteria of a suppressive cult commander who is able to keep resettled members under the cult control by any means possible.

Most of the former members of the MKO recall Mohabatkar as a torturer. Zahra Sadat Mirbaqeri is former member of the group who has experienced mental and physical torture under Faeze Mohabatkar’s ruling. Mrs. Mirbaqeri declares that she is ready to present her testimonies against Mohabatkar in any court of justice.

Mirbaqeri recounts the pain and suffering she underwent under the command of Faezeh:

“… I was sick. They ordered that I had to attend a session for Ashins (women of the second layer of the Leadership Council). I refrained from attending the meeting. So, Faezeh ordered 6 to 7 women in the room to take me to the meeting by force. I hided in a corner of the dorm but they found me.

“Despite I was resisting, they took me to the meeting by pulling my arms and feet on the floor

“I was shouting and crying; the pain in my neck exacerbated. They put my army uniform on me by force….”

Since then, Zahra Mirbaqeri was sentenced to death because of the disobedience she showed toward her superior. She was all the time verbally abused by Faezeh in the cult sessions.

Now, Faeze is supposed to execute cult jargons in Tirana where the group members are no more quarantined behind the bars of Ashraf or Liberty. Will she succeed to run her cult-like practices in a European city? Is she able to maintain the entire relocated members in the cult?

The experience of the previously resettled members demonstrates that once members are cut off the cult-like relations they are able to defect more easily.

Choosing Faezeh Mohabatkar – with a horrible background of oppressive attitude – for linking the main cult in Iraq to the part of cult resettled in Albania, has a message to relocated members: You cannot simply leave the cult.

But, is this method an effective technique to prevent the cult of Rajavi from collapsing?

Former members of the MEK

Sanjabi and Khodabandeh in the Conference on “World Against Violence and Extremism”

Maryam Sanjabi and Ebrahim Khodabandeh Participate in the Conference on “World Against Violence and Extremism”

The International Conference on World Against Violence and Extremism (WAVE) was held in Tehran by the Institute of Political and International Studies (IPIS) on 9-10 Dec. 2014, with the participation of hundreds of delegations from 53 countries around the world.

Maryam Sanjabi, former member of the Leadership Council, and Ebrahim Khodabandeh former official of the International Department of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO, aka Rajavi Cult) participated in the opening session, dinner reception, and most of the fringe meetings of the two day conference and actively spoke with most participants and reporters. They were also interviewed by the Iraqi television network Al-Forat and delivered their points of view about the problems facing the families of Camp Liberty residents in Iraq – who desire to visit their loved ones but are prevented from doing so by MKO leaders – and urged the Iraqi officials responsible for the camp to take immediate action in this regard.

Sanjabi and Khodabandeh, during the two days of the conference while speaking to the participants gave a brief report about the latest situation of Rajavi’s mind manipulating destructive cult (MKO) and emphasized the need to establish contact between those trapped in Camp Liberty in Iraq in the hands of Rajavi, and their suffering families. In all cases, without exception, the addressees approved the necessity for this basic right to be fulfilled and made promises that they would do everything possible in their capacity to help this human rights issue which is the result of the whim of a violent extremist leader of a cult.

Khodabandeh also met with Jean-Marie Guthenno, President of the International Crisis Group, Ali Dabbagh, former Iraqi Government Spokesman, Jan Oberg, Director of Transnational Foundation for Peace and Future Research of Sweden, Richard Bacon, Member of Parliament of the United Kingdom, Herald Kindermann, German Council of Foreign Relations, Martin Fleischer, Vice President of the East-West Institute of Brussels, Cardinal Theodore Mc Carrick of the USA, Jim Slattery, former Congressman of the USA, and many dignitaries including governmental, non-governmental, international and human rights officials, and briefed them in detail about the Rajavi Cult and the situation of his victims and hostages in Camp Liberty.

Ebrahim Khodabandeh also met Ebrahim Jafari, Iraq’s Foreign Minister, and delivered to him the pleas of the families who anxiously want to visit their loved ones in Iraq. Mr. Jafari expressed his sympathy with the families and promised to try to help them. In this meeting Mr. Jafari emphasized that the MKO is a terrorist cult which has committed many crimes against the people of Iraq and confirmed that it is the wish of all factions and tendencies that they should leave the country and that their leaders be prosecuted. He said that preventing the families from visiting their relatives shows by itself the nature of the leaders of this group.

The Conference ended on the afternoon of Wednesday Dec. 10 with a concluding speech by Mr. Zarif followed by a question and answer session with him.

The cult of Rajavi

Dear Washington: Kick Out This Iranian Militant Cult

In the war of words on Iran’s domestic issues and controversial nuclear program, the Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK) always is front and center to condemn the country. The MEK is known by many monikers: the People’s Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI), Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO), but is best known by the multifaceted National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI). Through social media, the group spams most Iran-related hashtags with their propaganda, bankroll prominent U.S. officials to advocate on their behalf as the “democratic alternative” to the Islamic Republic of Iran, and even re-opened an office a block from the White House where they hired former Senator Robert Torricelli (D-N.J.) as their legal representative.

None of these points would be problematic if it weren’t for the fact that the European Union and United States formerly designated the Iraq-based MEK as a terrorist organization for its past activities. What makes this realization peculiar is the very people in Congress that cozy up to the group’s leader, Maryam Rajavi, by calling for staunch sanctions–sometimes even war–on Iran due to its nuclear program and particularly human rights violations, seem to turn a blind eye to the activities of the totalitarian cult of Marxist-Islamist Iranian dissidents we know today as the MEK.

The amount of misinformation circulated by their public relations is disturbing and it’s time to expose their true nature.

Not A Champion of Iranian Women

To this day, the followers of the Mojahedin-e Khalq and its apologists dismiss it is a cult and continue to refer to their group as a “deeply democratic organization whose guiding principle on all issues is referendum and discussion until a consensus is reached.” Despite denials, its conduct tells otherwise as cited by a RAND report: deceptive recruitment, emotional isolation, extreme degrading peer pressure, forced labor, imprisonment, lack of exit options, sexual control, sleep deprivation, and physical abuse.

Maryam Rajavi’s marriage to one of the original founders of the MEK symbolized the transformation from an organization to a “cult of personality.” With the money provided by Iraqi President Saddam Hussein–they formed an alliance due to a deep disdain for the Iranian regime–to “construct self-sufficient camps” which included: medical clinics, prisons (also known as “reeducation centers”), schools, and training centers, in order for the population not to engage with outside society. Additionally, prior to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, members of the Mojahedin carried cyanide tablets around their neck to avoid capture. Self-immolation and suicide reportedly are a popular form of political protest amongst members.

With knowledge of this publically available, it is difficult to take them serious. But what is truly an affront to women is when Rajavi and her supporters claim they offer a better alternative to the current women’s rights situation in in Iran.

In a recent op-ed for The Hill, Soona Samsami a representative of the NCRI expresses:

“Rajavi has outlined a Ten Point Plan for Future Iran, which says, ‘We believe in complete gender equality in political, social and economic arenas. We are also committed to equal participation of women in political leadership. Any form of discrimination against women will be abolished. They will enjoy the right to freely choose their clothing.’”

Even though the group promotes leadership positions for women, in order to impose “military” regulations on its members, the MEK forces them not only to move into gender-segregated compounds, but also cut ties with family and friends–both inside and outside of the commune. They even require members to divorce their spouses and to live a life of celibacy. It is presumed that love for family and significant others would be replaced with love for the Rajavis.

Last but not least, when it came to attire for women, journalist Elizabeth Rubin notes:

“Everywhere I saw women dressed exactly alike, in khaki uniforms and mud-colored head scarves, driving back and forth in white pickup trucks, staring ahead in a daze as if they were working at a factory in Maoist China.”

Iran’s women rights record is problematic, but this is not and should never be considered the alternative, even momentarily.

Listen To Iranians

While Samsami says “Young women in Iran find true inspiration in the main opposition” that is Maryam Rajavi, the group has not won an audience with the Iranian people at home in Tehran.

Not only has the Mojahedin-e Khalq lost its support because of its alliance with Saddam during the Iran-Iraq War of the 1980s–an insult to the Iranian people’s nationalism–but also for its position against Iran’s nuclear program, something the average Iranian sees as their legitimate right. Many Iranians convey the group is “worse than the mullahs” or along the lines of what some Iranian democracy activists claim that “if it had had the chance, [the MEK] could have become the Khmer Rouge of Iran.”

With that in mind, there is no chance the MEK could win over the Iranian people if a potential regime change took place–something various legislators in the United States need to recognize.

It’s time the MEK’s blind proponents see them for what they really are: a sham.

The cult of Rajavi

Independent Int. Probe Should be Called for Suspicious Deaths in the MKO

Following the execution of Reihaneh Jabbari the Iranian girl convicted of murdering a man Morteza Sarbandari, Maryam Rajavi called for an independent international probe into her execution. This was not the first reaction of the MKO propaganda on the case of Reyhaneh. The group’s media had launched a wide propaganda about her trial. However, their propaganda pushed her towards execution.

Abdusamad Khoramshahi Reyhaneh’s attorney told Radio BBC Persian that the media’s intervention in Reyhaneh’s process of trial was an effective drive for her death. Media’s propaganda including the MKO’s turned out to be an obstacle for Sarbandari family to forgive the murderer of their father. According to the MKO’s propaganda Sarbandari was a former Intelligence agent who wanted to rape Reyhaneh. Reyhaneh admitted that she had killed her victim with Knife.

Furthermore, it cannot be said simply that Reyhaneh deserved death penalty or not due to the complexity of her case. In addition, people have different ideas about Capital Punishment.

The main contradiction in Maryam Rajavi’s propaganda about Reyhaneh’s death sentence should be closely investigated in her organization’s record of cases of torture, murder, and execution. Numerous cases of disappearance and abusive conduct against dissident members can be simply found in the testimonies of former members.

As former member of the MKO’s so-called Council of Leadership (Elite Council), Mrs. Batoul Soltani recounts the horrible fate of at least three women who were murdered by the group authorities. According to memoires of Mrs. Soltani, Minou Fathali was a member of the Elite Council who opposed the mass marriage and sexual relationship of elite members with Massoud Rajavi the leader of the cult. She did not attend Salvation Dance Ceremony. Batoul writes: “Minou left the meeting while she was crying”. I heard her telling to Maryam Rajavi, “I don’t want. I hate it.”

Minou was under severe pressure by Maryam Rajavi and other high-ranking officials of the cult but she was never convinced to dance undressed in front of Mssoud Rajavi. She was degraded in the cult hierarchy, separated from her comrades and then her death was announced in the group’s Journal. Soltani reveals that Minou was then killed by the Batoul Rajaiee, a notorious figure of the MKO Elite Council. However, after the fall of Saddam Hussein, the name of Minou was declared as a martyr of the American bombs.

Mehri Mousavi was another member of the cult of Rajavi who was mysteriously murdered in Camp Ashraf. Batoul Soltani wrote an article in the memorial of Mehri. She remembers the day she found a report written by Mozhgan Parsaiee about Mehri. “She has problem with Salvation Dance and relationship with Christ,”Soltani cites from the report. Christ is the pseudonym of Masoud Rajavi among high-ranking members.

Mehri became a subject of the groups’ peer pressure meetings. Massoud rajavi personally beat her and kicked her out of the meeting, based on memoires of Batoul Soltani. Mehri Mousavi was then found suffocated by her scarf in her dorm. She was also announced as a martyr of bombardments by American forces.

Among many other victims of the MKO’s efforts to wipe out internal dissidents one can definitely see the name of Maasoumeh Gheibipour. According to Batoul Soltani, Maasoumeh was not observing religious rules well so she was under severe peer pressure in the cult. She was all the time suppressed by the cult officials for her careless covering or for her not performing prayers – despite Maryam Rajavi’s claims of seeking and advocating a secular democratic government in Iran.

During brainwashing sessions Maasoumeh dared to criticize the organization and its leaders’ attitudes and decisions but she was labeled as a “traitor”. Maasoumeh was no more seen in the group’s meetings!

The three above-mentioned cases are examples of dozens of people who were killed in the MKO’s cult-like system just because their absolute obedience was doubted and questioned by the leaders. The list of Masoud Rajavi’s victims inside the group includes male and female members of whom one can only find the name of Parviz Ahmadi in the report of the Human Rights Watch on abuses in the MKO, “No Exit”, published in 2005. According to HRW’s report, Parviz Ahmadi was killed after he was tortured in the group’s prison in Camp Ashraf.

Therefore, Independent International Probe is certainly needed for murders and mysterious deaths in MKO camps. Maryam Rajavi and her disappeared husband should be brought to justice for unspeakable human rights abuses they have committed for over three decades.

Reyhaneh Jabbari who had actually killed a man might not deserve to be executed but how about Minou, Mehri, Maasomeh and many other individuals who lost their lives for criticizing the cult? Did they deserve to be executed?

USA

Open letter to Senator John Sidney McCain

The Honorable John Sidney McCain

United States Senator

United States Senate

Washington DC

Dear Senator McCain

As an Ex-resident of Camp Ashraf for nearly three decades, I have read your letter of support for the people of Camp Liberty in Iraq to US Secretary of State John Kerry.

The people in Camp Liberty are victims of terroristic policies. Before the invasion of Iraq they were used to operate, help, administer and train terrorists. After the invasion, the leader escaped to the West, and now they are being used to safe guard the leaders in the West by feeding and creating the necessary cause for the leaders to deceive the West about their ominous thoughts and beliefs.

I am sure you remember that the September 11 tragedy masterminded and put to action by people who lived in West and pretended to be civilized people. Even now days people from civilized world who have been deceived, are joining the most barbaric terrorist groups in the Middle East region and elsewhere, which as a consequence the world has paid and is still paying a heavy price because of their evil actions.

On the verge of the invasion of Iraq and toppling of its dictator, we were told in the Camp Ashraf by Masoud Rajavi and Maryam Rajavi, that we must stay in Camp Ashraf for any price that it requires, and if we had to leave, we would ask them to send us to California, to create a dead end situation for US in order to prevent US from moving us from the Camp Ashraf.

Masoud and Maryam Rajavi having watched the September 11 barbarism live on CNN, praising it, commented facing their 4000 members then “…because Al Qaeda harmed Imperialism before and better than us, must not think Al Qaeda is more progressive than we are, ,”. Mujahidin believe in violence to reach their political goals, look at their emblem.

Mujahidin believe in destroying the Western Civilization as Western Imperialism, oppose and compete with ISIS and Al Qaeda from the point of being more anti-Western and anti-Imperialistic than they are.

Your Honor

What I would like to point at is that, it is time for everybody in the west and around the world to face international and regional terrorism with open eyes. Terrorism has changed face and is adopting new tactics to destroy the civilization. They have learnt how to deceive the world and utilize every means to reach their mediaeval barbaric goals.

Especially as a well-known and influential Senator that have great responsibility on your shoulders on behalf of your constituents and contemporary world, with the facilities at reach to investigate about the true nature of the people and groups, facing them blind folded or be deceived just by their appearance or pretense of supporting democracy or women’s rights … is no longer acceptable by the public opinion and the future generations.

All members of the Mujahidin are barred from any public and free media, books, newspaper, contacting their families and even their children. They must only love Masoud and Maryam Rajavi as their Caliphate and if anything else went through their mind but must be daily reported. They are a Cult group and not a political entity.

Mujahidin believe in separation of sexes in any common ground of activity. They force their women members to divorce their husbands and marry Masoud Rajavi as the Caliphate who owns them!

Residents of Camp Liberty are used as a prey by Masoud and Maryam Rajavi to gain media attention to utilize it to reach their goals in the West while they are still at reach by law. Masoud and Maryam Rajavi are waiting as such ISIS to reach the power to show his real face.

Your Honor

But please don’t let your political consciousness be humiliated by them.

Sincerely yours

The cult of Rajavi

Collapse of Morality in the MKO

From Stealing Flowers to Sexual Abuses

The reports and documents published on the MKO camps, demonstrate that morality has been deleted from the group’s internal relations.

Morality is defined as a particular system of values and principals of conduct, especially one held by a specified person or society. It gives the person or society the extent to which an action is right or wrong. In a moral-based society people obey moral and human values including helping others, offering sympathy to others, being honest, being polite… These do’s and don’ts are less or more practiced and respected in normal societies.

Nonetheless, in the Cult of Rajavi (the MKO) from the peak of the cult’s hierarchy – where Massoud Rajavi stands – moral values have been violated and even confused with immoral values.

For instance, marriage, maternal love, family life are regarded by the MKO leaders as counter values. In turn, polygamy, treason and divorce –that are usually considered as counter values– are recommended values in the Cult of Rajavi. The leader of the MKO is able to marry as many wives as he wants – up to the number of the Cult’s Elite Council, about 600 women. He can sleep with all of them while male members of the group are not allowed to marry or even to think of the opposite sex otherwise they are humiliated and punished by the cult system. Not only polygamy is considered a value but also dishonesty of the cult leader is viewed as an ordinary.

The most recent case of immoral acts in the MKO was covered by French media. Last week, French newspaper Le Figaro reported that plant pots decorating graves in a cemetery in Auver Sur d’Oise were found in the MKO base. “The 59 year old widow followed the path of the plant on her computer. Imagine her surprise to find that the floating plant came to rest in the premises of the NCRI, based in Auvers since 1980,” reported Le Figaro. The French newspaper also reported that besides the hydrangeas other plants were found that might have been stolen from other graves in the cemetery, where such disappearances have intensified over the past year despite the precautions taken by the municipality.

The news of the new Rajavi’s scandal was widely covered by former members of the cult. It was followed by numerous cases of memoirs and experiences of former members about stealing objects for the group. Former senior interpreter of the MKO, Ghorban Ali Hossein Nejad recited that stealing goods was called “Liberating” in the MKO.

He believes that robberies by cult members should be measured as “ideological” because they are indoctrinated by Massoud and Maryam Rajavi and their Machiavellian ideas that justify every means to get the goal.

In ex-members memos and evidences you read about all sorts of stolen items from Iraqi tanks and artilleries for the MKO army to suits and ties for the group’s gatherings. The whole stories indicate the awful decline in values in the cult of Rajavi. Defectors recall that at that time they were proud of their immoral acts.

Furthermore, as we witness the evidences of female defectors such as Batoul Soltani, we realize that every women who was more dedicated to Rajavi’s sexual desires was more admired and more glorified by the cult leaders. This was definitely the outcome of the manipulative indoctrination structure of Massoud Rajavi’s cult of personality. The lust of the MKO authorities for absolute obedience of members prompts them to suggest he evil as good.

By the way, the stolen plant that made a French citizen sue the MKO might be a very small step to counter the huge immoral and inhuman acts of the MKO leaders but it is an indicator of collapse of morality in a group that when its leader was arrested by French Police in 2003, millions of dollars were found in her base.

It is a pity that more crucial crimes and counter values practiced in the MKO are ignored by the international community. Leaders of the group are not brought to justice for their inhumane acts. There are countless records and documents of these cases of abuses in the MKO but they have not been investigated seriously by judicial bodies yet.
