Smuggling Medicine from Germany and Italy by the terrorist group of MEK

How are the Medicines of the Terrorist Group of the MEK supplied?

The terrorist group of the Mujahedin-e Khalq, was on the list of terrorist groups in the United States and Europe from 1997 to 2012 due to the killing of 17 thousand of innocent people, after leaving the FTO list in 2012 and with extensive consultations between the United States and Albania, finally entered Albania in 2016. This terrorist group, which has a record of more than 40 years of killing and torturing innocent people, has now lost its operational capacity and is passing its old age. According to the statistics taken from these people upon entering Albania, it shows that more than 70% of the members of this terrorist cult are between the ages of 70 and 80, and with a simple calculation, it can be understood that a person at this age is facing many diseases that require considerable medical services.

On the first day of this group’s presence in Albania, it was found that about 3 thousand people from this group have settled in Albania from Iraq, now it can be concluded that the medical services of Camp Ashraf 3 alone, require more than a few hospitals in Albania. According to a simple assessment, an average surgery in Albania requires 2,000 euros, and post-operative costs such as medicine and daily medical care should be added to this amount. Now, with the lack of some medicines in Albania and also the lack of some medicinal items, the preparation of medicines is done at a high cost for those who do not have insurance. According to these cases, the question that is raised would be, considering the old age of members of this group, where would the cost of this amount of medical services be provided? Why do these expenses and the amount of money spent on these services by the terrorist group of MEK have no source?

According to the evaluation done by different physicians and researchers on elderly people between 60 and 80 years old, obtained results show that people of this age suffer from diseases such as blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, immobility, rheumatism, neurological problems, and cancer. Now the question is that 3,000 people who are in an isolated environment that has a military status and according to the members separated from this terrorist group, there is no emotional feeling between the members and they are kept without spouses and in separate dormitories. How do they do their medical affairs? According to the information obtained from the Mother Teresa Hospital, which is located near the camp of MEK, it shows that none of the MEK members was admitted to this hospital even for a single day. It should also be taken into account that after the operation of Forough Javidan and the heavy defeat of the terrorist group of the MEK in the attack on Iran, which led to the destruction of thousands of people from this group, many of these people are disabled and have to spend the rest of their lives with a disability. As you know, disabled people must always be under medical care and use special medical equipment. In fact, Albania, with a population of about 3 million people, is not ready to provide this amount of medical equipment and special and expensive drugs for disabled people. How do these 3 thousand people get their medicine and medical equipment? Where do they perform their surgeries? In which medical service center are they hospitalized?

Two theories can be considered for this group, one is that medical equipment and medicines are not provided for the people inside the camp, and it isn’t logical that the members of this terrorist cult, who are busy with their activities and preparing fake news every day against Iran to continue their lives without medicine and medical equipment, because many of the diseases that have been mentioned before, without medicine and disease control, lead to the risk of death for people. The second case is that this amount of medicine and medical equipment be provided by the group of MEK and the companies established by this group in European countries. The second theory is more likely, because some time ago, the group of MEK organized ophthalmology services for the residents of the villages around the camp and provided contact lenses and glasses, and distributed a large number of prescription glasses to the people for free, and all these events happened inside the camp. Therefore, inside the camp, the terrorist group of the MEK has provided the possibility of medical services for its members and people living in the villages around the camp, in this case, the theory that the members receive their medical services inside the camp is proven, but members of the MEK need a large amount of medicine and it is not clear where this amount of medicine comes from. According to the review of the pharmaceutical system of Albania, it is clear that all imported drugs are distributed among pharmacies, and the interesting thing is that the MEK members did not use these pharmacies. So how do they get their medicines?

According to the information received from the Albanian customs, it was found that no medicine is allowed to be sent separately to the camp, and the medicines can only be distributed after being transferred to pharmacies and must be legally purchased from inside the pharmacy. So the main question arises: how do these 3,000 people get their medicines? The answer to this question can be expressed as, if you need medicine and you have to get it from the pharmacy and this action is not done, there is only one way left and that is to import the medicine into the camp. Since the camp of the MEK does not have any license to establish a pharmacy, the result is that the drugs needed by the camp of the MEK are smuggled into this country without the knowledge of the government of Albania, for this purpose, the government of Albania should be more sensitive to the amount of medicines smuggled into its country by the MEK.

Smuggling Medicine from Germany and Italy by the terrorist group of MEK

Alireza Niknam

In the first article, it was mentioned that the terrorist group of the MEK, who were on the list of foreign terrorist organizations in America (FTO) and Europe from 1997 to 2012 due to the killing of 17 thousand innocent people, after leaving this list and with extensive consultations between the United States and Albania, finally entered Albania in 2016. This terrorist group, which has a record of more than 40 years of killing and torturing innocent people, has now lost its operational capacity and is passing its old age. According to the statistics taken from these people upon entering Albania, it shows that more than 70% of the members of this terrorist cult are between the ages of 70 and 80, and with a simple calculation, it can be understood that a person at this age suffers from many diseases that require many medical services.

On the first day of this group’s presence in Albania, it was found that about 3 thousand people from this group had settled in Albania from Iraq, now it can be concluded that the medical services of Camp Ashraf 3 alone require more than a few hospitals in Albania. Another point is the medicines that this terrorist group needs and the history of these people’s presence in pharmacies has not been recorded so far. According to the information received from the Albanian customs, it was found that no medicine is allowed to be sent separately to the camp, and the medicines can only be distributed after being transferred to pharmacies and must be legally purchased from inside the pharmacy. So the main question arises, How do these 3,000 people get their medicines? The answer to this question can be expressed as if you need medicine and you have to get it from the pharmacy and this measure is not taken, there is only one way left and that is to import the medicine into the camp. Since the camp of the MEK does not have any license to establish a pharmacy, the result is that the medicines needed by the camp of the MEK are supplied and smuggled into this country without the knowledge of the Albanian government.

In this article, we have tried to express significant points about this terrorist group with field research from Albania and the previous country where the MEK lived, Iraq. The terrorist group of the MEK, according to the records obtained from them in Iraq, mostly have diseases for which medicines, according to the research carried out in Albania, are not available in this country. Among the common diseases that appear in the medical records of the members of the MEK group are Alzheimer’s, severe osteoporosis, diabetes, various cancers, digestive system problems, heart problems, and high blood pressure. Since the terrorist group of the MEK has always been a puppet or a military tool for the Western governments and for that reason, it has participated in military operations against its country and the people of Iraq, it has certainly received a lot of damage from these operations to the extent that after the operations of Forough Javidan, Anfal, Morvarid 1 and 2, a large number MEK members have suffered physical and mental disabilities and have to use rare medicines to control or treat themselves. According to research, most of these medicines are not available in Albania, and to supply them, they must be imported from the U.S., England, Germany, Italy, and India. According to the investigation of medicine import in Albania, it seems that this country has not imported medicines for these diseases due to the ban on the import of some medicines, so as a result, these items must be smuggled away from the eyes of the Albanian government, but how does the terrorist group of MEK import their medicines into Camp Ashraf 3 in Manza?

The answer is simple, under the guise of humanitarian measures such as importing contact lenses and eyeglasses for the residents of the villages and under the pretext of helping the needy people in the vicinity of the camp, this terrorist group has smuggled its medicine. Based on the investigation, the lenses and glasses sent to Albania were produced in China, and with a simple look at the glasses and medical lenses, you can see its brand as Wenzhow M&I Eyewear Co., LTD, and the country of their manufacture, but the shipment first went from China to Germany then to Italy and from there it entered Albania. Well, the question is why a shipment of medical equipment that comes from China should go to Germany, then to Italy, and then enter Albania? The answer is that the terrorist group of MEK has registered several companies and associations in Italy and Germany to provide medical and pharmaceutical equipment and send them to the Mujahedin-e Khalq camp in Albania. For example, the Association of Iranian Political Refugees living in Italy and the Association of Iranian Youth in Italy are two associations that use the guise of the association to do money laundering and finance the MEK to buy medical equipment. Previously, many money-laundering activities were carried out in Germany, England, and France, and many cases of these activities were revealed in these countries, examples of which were the identification of an orphanage in England, which used the guise of an orphanage to separate children from their families, who were members of this cult, then they transferred them to European countries such as England, Germany, France and so on. These charities received money from the government and international organizations and this money was sent to the headquarters of the MEK. Maryam Rajavi herself was arrested in her home in France for the crime of money laundering along with a large number of MEK members.

The terrorist group of MEK has proven many times that they will continue their terrorist and illegal actions in any way; it does not matter if the Albanian government restricts them or not, history has proven that they will continue their actions for years. a few years ago, by separating children from the members of this cult, they used them for money laundering in Europe under the guise of orphaned children, and now they smuggle their medicines under the guise of supporting the people of the villages around the camp in Albania. From the records of medicine smuggling by MEK, which was also included in the media, we can refer to the news of the Italian news agency LaRedazione with the title “I vaccini migrano via mare, il primo caso di fuga di Astrazeneca, da Bari verso l’Albania” on May 23, 2021, mentioned about the arrest of 2 of MEK members while smuggling vaccines to Albania by the Italian Coast Guard. These two people were 73-year-old Qasim Farhadi and 70-year-old Abdolrahim Orangi, both of whom were members of the MEK in Albania, who were at the sea border of Italy with Albania and arrested before leaving the border of Italy by the coast guard of this country along with the cargo of smuggled vaccines.

These are only a part of the chain of medicine trafficking by the terrorist group of MEK, which was mentioned in this article, and the Prime Minister of Albania, Edi Rama, and the anti-terrorism court of this country are requested to intensify monitoring the entry and exit of smuggling equipment to the headquarters of the MEK in Manza to prevent drug smuggling to Albania. Albania should know that the arrest of the MEK members who have political asylum in Albania, which is also on the borders of Italy, is considered a danger for this country, because every time the people of this terrorist group are arrested, Albania will be one step away from the European Union.

Iran questions Belgium’s resolve in fighting terror after MKO ringleader given platform

written by Nejat Society

Tehran has cast doubt on the Belgian government’s seriousness in fighting terrorism after the ringleader of the terrorist cult Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) was given a platform to deliver an anti-Iran speech in the Western European country.

“Given serious crimes and assassinations committed by the MKO terrorist group against Iranian people and their deceitful nature, acknowledged by institutions like the European Parliament, how can the Belgian government, claiming to fight terror, give tribune to the leader of the sect on its soil?” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kan’ani wrote in a post published on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Friday.

The post came on the same day MKO leader Maryam Rajavi addressed a group of demonstrators in the Belgian capital of Brussels on the occasion of foreign-backed riots in Iran that broke out last September, when 22-year-old woman Mahsa Amini died in a hospital in the capital Tehran, three days after she collapsed at a police station.

Last week, the Branch 1 of Tehran’s criminal court announced that 104 fugitive members of the Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MKO) terrorist group must introduce their attorneys to the court to represent the cases of their clients.

The MKO has carried out numerous terrorist attacks against Iranian civilians and government officials since the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979. Out of the nearly 17,000 Iranians killed in terrorist attacks over the past four decades, about 12,000 have fallen victim to the MKO’s acts of terror.

The European Union, Canada, the United States and Japan had previously listed the MKO as a “terrorist organization.”

In 2012, the group was taken off the US list of terrorist organizations. The EU followed suit, removing the group from its list of terrorist organizations.

MEK goes from terrorist list to Canadian politicians’ best buddy

written by Nejat Society

Canada’s political establishment has become increasingly close to a group it once banned as a terrorist organization. Reports that the violent cult Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) may set up shop here reflects this country’s increasingly conflictual relations with Iran.

Recently Iranian government aligned media reported that the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) is considering a move to Canada. The Albanian government has begun to restrict the group’s operations. In June, a camp inhabited by over a thousand MEK members was raided by the Albanian police and MEK leader Maryam Rajavi has been blocked from entering the country. As a result, there’s speculation the group wants to leave Albania, which has hosted it since 2016. The MEK denies it plans to relocate to Canada, which would be geographically and logistically, if not politically, difficult.

Judy Sgro

Liberal MP Judy Sgro speaks at an MEK-aligned Canadian Friends of a Democratic Iran and National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) event, on February 4, 2023. Image credit: NCRI site.

A Global Affairs spokesperson responded to an inquiry by The Canada Files’ Editor-in-Chief, Aidan Jonah, on the matter by writing: “Canada continues to be gravely concerned with the systematic discrimination and harassment that women, men and youth face in Iran, and stands in solidarity with the courageous people of Iran, especially the women and girls of Iran, who are at the forefront of a powerful call for change based on equality, respect, and justice. With respect to the MeK, Canada does not recognize the Mek as being a credible political actor, does not endorse it, and does not engage in any communications with it.”

MEK’s history

According to US government sources, the MEK has teamed up with Israel to assassinate Iranians. In 2012, NBC News reported that the MEK was “financed, trained, and armed by Israel’s secret service” to assassinate Iranian scientists.
During the Iran-Iraq war the MEK fought with Saddam Hussein’s forces. In the mid-1980s Iraq armed and equipped a 7,000 strong MEK force. A World Beyond War article by Robert Fantina highlighted that, according to one report, by early 2016, ‘…out of the nearly 17,000 Iranians killed in terrorist assaults since the victory of Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution, about 12,000 had fallen victim to MKO’s (MEK’s) terrorist attacks.’”

Until a decade ago, MEK was listed as a terrorist group in the US and Canada. Their impact was felt in Canada, even during that era. In 2003, a 22-year old Iranian-Canadian woman, Neda Hassani, set herself on fire while in London, on the orders of MEK leaders, to protest Maryam Rajavi’s arrest.

MEK in Canadian politics since removal from Canadian terror list

In 2012, prominent pro-Israel activists worked with Iranian dissidents to convince the State Department to remove the MEK from the US terrorism list, which paved the way for Ottawa to follow suit. Two years after working to delist the organization then MP Irwin Cotler invited MEK leader, Maryam Rajavi, to speak at Iran Accountability Week on Parliament Hill. Cotler subsequently attended many events organized by the MEK-aligned Canadian Friends of a Democratic Iran and National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI).

So has Stephen Harper since he was defeated in the 2015 election. Last month Canada’s former prime minister travelled to France to participate in the MEK’s Free Iran World Summit.
Canadian politicians are increasingly willing to openly identify with the MEK. In July of last year seven MPs attended the MEK’s Free Iran World Summit in Albania. Thought to be funded by Saudi Arabia, the group paid for the Canadian politicians travel and accommodation.

Each of the seven Canadian MPs who attended the summit were contacted by TCF EIC Jonah, to get their opinions on the GAC statement saying Canada’s government doesn’t recognize MEK as a credible political actor. None responded to the emails sent.

Melissa Lantsman, who is now deputy Conservative leader, participated in the delegation to Albania. During September 2022, Lantsman spoke at an NCRI event at Queen’s Park in Toronto.

During February 2023, former ministers John Baird and Tony Clement, as well as a half dozen sitting MPs and two senators, attended a Toronto event put on by the MEK-dominated NCRI. At the event Liberal MP Judy Sgro applauded “MEK, the NCRI and other movements trying to finally get rid of an oppressive group of Mullahs that do not deserve to be there.” A former immigration minister, Sgro even labeled MEK leader Maryam Rajavi’s 10–point plan a “model for the world”.
Sgro was also part of the Canadian delegation at last month’s Free Iran World Summit in Paris. According to a transcript, she gushed that “Madam Rajavi, your Ten-Point Plan is a true example of democracy, and I’m so happy to see so many countries have recognized that.”

Canadian officialdom’s growing dalliance with the reactionary group reflects the aggressiveness of Canadian policy towards Iran. Despite de-escalation in its first few years in office, the Liberals have reignited Harper’s low-level war on Iran.

Before being elected in 2015, Justin Trudeau promised to restart diplomatic relations with Iran that Harper severed in 2012. But Israeli nationalist forces scuttled the Liberals’ bid to restart diplomatic relations and there was never any serious bid to remove Iran’s designation as a state-sponsor of terror, which Harper imposed.

Nonetheless, there was still significant political support for restarting diplomatic relations with Iran through 2019. That year some 15,000 individuals signed an Iranian Canadian Congress petition sponsored by NDP foreign critic Helene Laverdiere calling for restarting relations.

But anti-Iranian sentiment grew sharply in January 2020, after the US assassinated top Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corp General Qassem Suleimani and nine others at the Baghdad airport. In retaliation to the Trump administration’s brazen violation of international law, Iran launched a dozen ballistic missiles at US-bases in Iraq. On heightened alert for a US response, the Iranian military mistakenly downed Ukraine Airlines flight PS752, killing 57 Canadian citizens.

Relations soured greatly as a result. Israel lobbyists and long-standing opponents of the regime effectively drove grieving families to place all the blame for the tragedy on Tehran.

Relations have deteriorated even further over the past year since the government suppressed a protest movement. Canada has adopted over a dozen rounds of sanctions, targeting hundreds of Iranians and entities including media outlets and universities. Ottawa has also banned 10,000 members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corp from Canada, condemned the country in various international forums and brought Iran to the International Court of Justice. Canadian courts have also seized tens of millions of dollars in Iranian assets and rendered judgments that would take even more.
In response, Iran recently took Canada to the International Court of Justice accusing Ottawa of illegally seizing its diplomatic assets.

Canada’s hostile policies and dalliance with the MEK take place as Washington seeks to destroy Iran economically. In April, the US seized an Iranian oil tanker and recently began unloading over $50 million USD of its fuel. Tehran responded by seizing two ships traveling through the Strait of Hormuz. Washington then dispatched more naval vessels to the region and is mulling placing armed personnel on commercial vessels traveling through the Strait of Hormuz.

Reports that the MEK is moving to Canada may well be Iranian government disinformation, but the fact such a move is plausible highlights a remarkable turnaround for a group once listed as a terrorist organization.

Mujahedin-e Khalq’s growing respectability among politicians also demonstrates how much Canada follows in lockstep with the US Empire and its Israeli subsidiary.

What should Canada expect after the potential move of the MEK to its territory?

written by Nejat Society

Concerns over potential relocation of the MEK members to Canada has been on the rise. Regardless of the group’s violent acts against Iranian people, regarding the previous experiences of France, Iraq and Albania in hosting the group, Canada should be aware of the problems it will face with.
in 1986 France’s Prime Minister Jacques Chirac evicted the MEK out of France. Massoud Rajavi and approximately five to ten thousand MEK members were received by the Iraqi government. Rajavi moved to Iraq –which was then fighting Iran– and set up a base on the Iranian border.

As Saddam’s private army, the MEK collaborated with former Iraqi dictator for spying and launching cross border operations against Iran and then for suppressing Iraqi Shiites and Kurds’ uprisings. After the collapse of Saddam Hussein, the newly established Iraqi government as well as the Iraqi nation did not want the Cult of Rajavi in their soil. The group had occupied the land, named Camp Ashraf, which originally belonged to Iraqi farmers of Diyala province.

Iraqi authorities made efforts to convince the MEK leaders to leave their territory peacefully, but they clashed with Iraqi security forces who wanted to build a guard post inside Camp Ashraf. The result was violence. Massoud Rajavi ordered the unarmed MEK members to resist Iraqi soldiers not allowing them inside the camp. Nouri al-Maliki, the then prime minister of Iraq – whose ambassador to the US called the group “nothing more than a cult” – insisted it leave the country.

Last month, the same scene was repeated in Albania. The Albanian state Police tried to enter the group’s camp in Manez named Ashraf 3, residents of the camp were ordered not to allow the Police to touch their computers –their main tools to fight the Iranian government. The Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama, in an interview for German network Der Spiegel, said that the Mujahideen cannot use Albania to fight against Iranian government. Rama said that currently Albania is being “used as a trench in a war that is not ours,” warning that if the MEK insists on fighting Iran, “they must leave Albania.”

As a country that still hosts the MEK’s main headquarters in the suburb of Paris, Auver Sur d’Oise, France has witnessed the most violent scenes from the MEK members and sympathizers. In June 2003, after the group’s base was raided by the French Police and Maryam Rajavi was arrested under the order of Frech judiciary, the group followers were ordered to commit self-immolations to protest the arrest of their she-guru. Several MEK members set themselves on fire in 6 European cities. Two women died of self-immolations.

The Iranian Canadian Congress is truly concerned about the probable risks that the Canadian might encounter in case of the MEK’s immigration to Canada. “The MEK organization’s history and actions have raised significant alarm within the community”, the ICC’s Vice President, Mona Ghassemi wrote in a letter to Canadian Immigration Minister.

Open letter to Minister of Immigration Concerns Regarding Potential Immigration of MEK Members to Canada

written by Nejat Society

Vice President of Iranian Canadian Congress, Mona Ghassemi has sent a letter to The Honourable Marc Miller regarding Concerns of Potential Immigration of MEK Members to Canada.
Dear Minister Miller,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing on behalf of the Iranian Canadian Congress to express our deep concern over recent Iranian media reports suggesting that the leaders of the People’s Mojahedin Khalq (MEK) have made plans to transfer their headquarters to Canada. We acknowledge that the accuracy of this news remains uncertain, and we trust in the competence of Canadian authorities in conducting the necessary investigations.

The MEK organization’s history and actions have raised significant alarm within the community, considering their previous inclusion on Canada’s terrorist list until 2012. The potential immigration of individuals associated with such an organization to Canada is worrying not only for Iranian Canadians, but also for the broader Canadian community.

Our organization greatly values the efforts made by the Government of Canada to uphold the principles of safety, security, and human rights. We kindly urge you to address this matter promptly by conducting a thorough investigation into the validity of the media reports. Furthermore, we request that you reassure the Iranian Canadian community and the broader Canadian public, by committing not to provide a safe haven for individuals or groups with a history of terrorist acts. We firmly believe in the dedication of Canadian authorities to meticulously assess immigration files and to ensure that individuals entering our country do not pose a threat to the safety and well-being of our society.

We are confident that your office will handle this matter with the utmost diligence and care. We are looking forward to hearing from you. We remain committed to supporting the values and principles that Canada represents.

Sincerely,
Mona Ghassemi
Vice President

Iran brings ‘huge’ case against over 100 MKO terrorists

written by Nejat Society

Iran’s top human rights official says the Islamic Republic has brought a “huge” case against more than a hundred members of the terrorist cult Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO), which has murdered tens of thousands of Iranian citizens.

In an interview with ISNA news agency published on Saturday, Kazem Gharibabadi, secretary of Iran’s High Council for Human Rights, emphasized that Iran wants to rid the world of terrorism and terror outfits.

He explained that a “huge” case has been brought against 107 high-profile members of the MKO, and their indictment has been referred to a court in Iran. A special branch has also been formed to deal with the matter, and the defendants have been notified via email, he said.

Secretary of Iran Judiciary’s Human Rights Council

“The court will soon start its work in accordance with the provisions of the criminal procedure,” he said.

Gharibabadi reiterated that the Islamic Republic is determined to employ all available tools to counter terrorists, especially the MKO terrorist group.

‘MKO terrorists roaming freely in West’

He also lamented the fact that the members of the MKO are freely wandering around in some Western countries despite having murdered numerous innocent Iranian nationals.

“In parallel with the legal, judicial and political pressures that the Islamic Republic of Iran has exerted on some countries housing MKO members, those states have also independently come to the conclusion that the MKO is really a terrorist group. They are placing limitations on them, and we welcome the restrictive measures against the MKO terrorists,” Gharibabadi noted.

Why the raid?

Albanian police authorities have reportedly taken control of the Ashraf-3 camp housing anti-Iran MKO terrorists, imposing strict restrictions on the entire area.
The top Iranian rights official also vowed that Tehran will not be content with the current level of actions against the MKO, adding that their host countries must either expel or prosecute them.

The MKO has carried out numerous terrorist attacks against Iranian civilians and government officials since the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979. Out of the nearly 17,000 Iranians killed in terrorist attacks over the past four decades, about 12,000 have fallen victim to the MKO’s acts of terror.

On June 20, Albanian police forces entered the MKO camp, known as Ashraf-3, near Tirana due to its engagement in “terror and cyberattacks” against foreign institutions. Authorities seized 150 computer devices linked to terrorist activities.

At least one person was killed and dozens of others were injured during the clashes at the camp. More than a week later, the police entered the camp again and security forces were deployed at the entrance to the camp to control all vehicles leaving the site.

The Foreign Ministry summoned the ambassador over the Italian parliament’s decision to host the ringleader of the MKO terrorist cult.

Albania’s Prime Minister Edi Rama later said the MKO must leave the country if it wants to use Albanian soil to fight against Iran, adding that his country has no intention of being at war with Iran and “does not accept anyone who has abused our hospitality.”

The European Union, Canada, the United States and Japan had previously listed the MKO as a “terrorist organization.”

In 2012, the group was taken off the US list of terrorist organizations. The EU followed suit, removing the group from its list of terrorist organizations.

Mujahedin Khalq as an Opposition Group

The double face of the MEK: between a moderate opposition party and a terrorist organization

written by Nejat Society

While presenting itself as a moderate opposition force in the eyes of Western public opinion, the MEK continues to perpetrate terrorist actions in Iran for the overthrow of the Islamic Republic, as evidenced by their own official website, where the attacks are described as heroic acts.

In one of our previous articles, we summarized the history of the Mojahedin-e-Khalq, a political organization whose declared aim is the overthrow of the Islamic Republic of Iran, known by the acronym of MEK or PMOI (from the English People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran). As we underlined in that article, in 1997, the United States included the MEK in the list of terrorist organizations, due to their modus operandi which actually closely resembled that of a terrorist organization that uses attacks to achieve its goals.

However, in 2012, the United States decided to start using the organization for its own purposes of destabilizing the Islamic Republic of Iran and, taking advantage of the military occupation of Iraq, a country where many MEK militants were located, entered into tacit agreements with them. Just in September 2012, Washington officially eliminated the name of the MEK from the list of terrorist organizations, with the same leadership of the organization officially acknowledging its past mistakes, declaring that it would later act solely as a political force in opposition to the Republic Islamic, renouncing the path of attacks.

This operation has had highly positive implications both for the United States and for the MEK itself. The Washington government, in fact, was able to support Mojahedin-e-Khalq openly in an anti-Iranian function, without having to worry too much about public opinion, indeed there are not a few exponents of the most recent administrations who have expressed their support in favour of the MEK in public occasions. For its part, the organization has cleaned up its image internationally, presenting itself as a legitimate force of moderate opposition to the Iranian government.

The MEK has tried in every possible way to attract the support of Western progressive political groups, which do not look kindly on a government like that of the Islamic Republic of Iran, by relying on media propaganda that exploits the pretext of human rights and the condition of women to stir up anti-Iranian sentiment in public opinion. For this reason, the official political program of the MEK presents points such as the establishment of a democratic republic, religious freedom, gender equality in every sphere of society, the legalization of alcoholic beverages, freedom of speech, association and expression, the right to choose whether or not to wear hijab, all arguments that can find general agreement among Western public opinion. Furthermore, the MEK is also proposing a close alliance of Iran with Western countries and the recognition of the State of Israel, which according to many sources, would support the organization militarily.

This facade of image-cleansing, however, hides a much darker reality, one that sees the MEK continue to carry out terrorist operations in Iran, causing serious damage and casualties both military and civilians in order to achieve its political goals. This dark face of the MEK is clearly kept silent in front of the Western public, to the point that the official website of the organization ( news.mojahedin.org ) does not report news about the terrorist attacks, except in its own version in the Persian language . While in the foreign language versions the MEK presents itself as an opposition political party with a moderate outlook, in Persian all this turns into an extremist raving.

In the Persian language version, the term “insurrection centres” (in Persian: Kanounhaye Shoureshi) frequently appears, which are nothing more than terrorist cells operating in Iran carrying out attacks in public places. These operations, which continuously affect the Iranian military and civilian population, are described as acts of heroism by MEK militants, but are then kept silent in front of the Western public, which certainly could not accept the support of their governments towards a terrorist group who brags about their bomb attacks.

For example, in July of this year the MEK carried out 23 terrorist operations to celebrate 35 years of what the organization calls Operation Forough Javidan (or “Eternal Light”), an attempted invasion of Iranian Kurdistan in course of war events between Iran and Iraq. On that operation, the MEK was defeated, suffering numerous losses, which in the language of the organization are called martyrs. As part of this wave of terrorist attacks, the MEK boasts, for example, of blowing up the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps barracks in Ravansar, the headquarters of the national news agency IRNA in Qazvin and numerous other public buildings across the country, as well as setting fire to images of Iranian revolutionary leaders.

Analysing the MEK website in Persian, there are really numerous episodes of this type that can be found in the year 2023 alone (year 1402 of the Persian calendar). Terrorist attacks are often organized on the occasion of anniversaries considered important in the history of the MEK, such as the aforementioned Operation Forough Javidan, or the establishment of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, an organization and political coalition founded on July 20, 1981 and strictly linked to the MEK. Also, on the occasion of this anniversary, in fact, there were terrorist attacks against the garrisons of the Revolution Guards and other episodes of violence throughout the country.

Browsing the official website of the MEK, it can also be seen that these terrorist attacks are not isolated episodes, as there are several of them every month, and they affect every area of ??the country. The main targets of these operations are headquarters of the Revolution Guards and other armed forces or of the Judiciary, and are described in pompous tones in an attempt to glorify the work of the terrorists, adorned with the title of “heroes”, all accompanied by celebratory videos disseminated through the organization’s Telegram channel. An image therefore very different from the one that is sold to Western public opinion, and of which we want to spread awareness through this article, so that don’t fall into the trap of supporting a terrorist organization like the MEK just yet.

Iranian judiciary's notice to MEK members
Iran

Moment of reckoning: Iranian judiciary’s notice to MKO terror cult members

written by Nejat Society

Last week, the Branch 1 of Tehran’s criminal court announced that 104 fugitive members of the Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MKO) terrorist group must introduce their attorneys to the court to represent the cases of their clients.

The historic judiciary statement noted that the named individuals would have one month to introduce their lawyers to the court, otherwise, the necessary decision would be taken in accordance with the law of the land.

Among the individuals named were Masoud Rajavi and Maryam Qajar Azedanlou (Rajavi), the ringleaders of the MKO terrorist cult, and Mehdi Abrishamchi, their right-hand man.

Earlier on June 21, Mohammad Dehqan, Iran’s vice president for legal affairs, announced that a series of measures have been taken to extradite MKO terror cult members, most of whom are currently based in Western countries.

Five days later, deputy chief of Iran’s judiciary (international affairs) Kazem Gharibabadi stated that legal measures have been initiated in various European countries against MKO members, criticizing the unnamed European nations for not properly pursuing Iran’s complaints.

Interestingly, days after the announcement, Albania banned the cult leader from entering the country, pointing to the beginning of the end of the cult’s Albania stint.

What are MKO terror cult crimes

The horrendous crimes committed by the MKO terror cult are well documented and include terrorist attacks, sabotage of civilian infrastructure, participation in military aggression, and complicity in Baathist Iraq’s genocide of the Kurds.

In Iran alone, 17,161 victims of their terrorist actions have been documented, among them President Mohammad Ali Rajaee, Prime Minister Mohammad-Javad Bahonar, Judiciary Chief Ayatollah Mohammad Beheshti, as well as several lawmakers, ministers and scholars.

After failing to seize power and losing their socio-political base in Iran, the terror cult sought refuge in Baathist Iraq and participated in Saddam Hussein’s aggression against Iran, which was overtly backed by the West.

Post-Baathist Iraq acknowledged the former regime’s aggression against the Islamic Republic and Iraqi Kurds, convicted and punished many of those responsible, but none of the MKO members have so far been held accountable for their crimes, in Iraq or Western countries.

In only the 1988 operation against Iran, the terrorist group’s crimes included aggression and violation of UN resolutions, chemical attacks on Iranian villages with hundreds of victims, urbicide (city-killing) of Iranian cities and towns, and massacres of medics, voluntary helpers and others.

During the war and the subsequent Iraqi uprising against Saddam Hussain’s regime, MKO directly participated in genocidal campaigns against the Kurdish population, with over 4,000 victims in the vicinity of Kirkuk alone.

Testimonies from former MKO members confirm that Rajavis and senior MKO officers personally ordered the brutal massacre of Kurdish civilians, claiming that members of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) were hiding in Kurdish traditional clothing, which was a blatant lie.

The same testimonies say many MKO members were horrified by the massacres but were not in a position to oppose their leaders because they would have risked their lives.

Experts believe that by brutalizing the Iraqi Kurds, the Rajavis desperately wanted to prove themselves useful to the Iraqi dictator, without whose support they would have been without the only base available at the time.

Iran’s experiences with extradition from West

Since the 1979 Islamic Revolution until today, Iran has had multiple negative experiences with Western countries regarding the extradition of those accused of serious crimes against the Iranian nation.

The most famous case is a request to Washington to extradite deposed dictator Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and return billions that he and his family stole from Iran and stacked in Western banks.

Although there is consensus among all Western historians that he ordered numerous atrocities against ordinary Iranians, the US government stubbornly refused to extradite him, as well as other regime officials, which only added to tensions between the two sides.

Another notable case is the request to Canada to extradite Mahmoud Reza Khavari, the former Melli Bank chairman who was accused of large-scale corruption and embezzlement of at least three billion dollars.

Since 2010, Khavari has been living as a Canadian citizen and his family runs a wealthy business empire in the country. Ottawa has always dismissed Tehran’s extradition requests.

In 2017, an Iranian court sentenced him to 20 years in prison and an international Interpol warrant was issued against him, but Canada refused to cooperate for political reasons.

The Western self-righteousness and flawed belief in the correctness of their judiciary, as well as the distorted understanding of the Iranian legal system, have often threatened the lives of their own citizens.

An example of this is Man Haron Monis, who received refugee status in Australia in 1996, then a political asylum, because Canberra accepted his fake story that he was persecuted in Iran because of his liberal interpretation of Islam.

Iran sought his extradition for years and warned Australian authorities that Monis was a criminal with a long history of fraud and violence, but they refused to pay heed.

Eighteen years later, Monis besieged the Lindt Cafe in Sydney, took ten customers and eight employees hostage, killed two, and was eventually killed in a police raid. The “liberal asylum seeker” was then dubbed a “Takfiri terrorist.”

Furthermore, Iranian diplomatic missions in Western countries have often experienced unsavory incidents involving violence, and the perpetrators most often have been individuals who were granted political asylum based on false stories.

How has Iran treated MKO penitents

Contrary to the unfounded claims that Iran imposes collective guilt on all MKO terror cult members for crimes and that they are therefore threatened with death or other severe punishments, actual case stories present a completely different picture.

Iran’s judiciary recognizes that many MKO members were misled, deceived or lured into the terrorist cult with threats, intimidation and coercion.

In tens of recorded cases, MKO penitents renounced cult membership, agreed to return to Iran, voluntarily participated in police and court sessions, and were eventually released, reunited with their families, and today live freely.

This defection process has been underway for years and has intensified in recent years as most of the members are aging and approaching death. They have finally woken up to the failed ideology of the terror cult and its false promises, and are desperate to reunite with their families.

According to the testimonies of former MKO members, they were not allowed private communication with their families and any contact would be attempted under strict control, to recruit relatives or ask for donations.

Due to these conditions, which befit a concentration camp, many MKO members did not see or hear from their closest family members, relatives or friends for decades.

The latest offer by the Iranian judiciary to more than a hundred MKO members to present their defense, even in absentia through a lawyer, allows them to embrace the truth.

“The Italian Parliament hosts terrorists”. And Iran summons an ambassador

The Italian Parliament hosts terrorists. And Iran summons an ambassador

written by Nejat Society

On Thursday 13 July, Iran summoned the Italian ambassador to Tehran Giuseppe Perrone after a conference was promoted and hosted in the Sala Regina of the Chamber of Deputies in Rome with what Tehran considers a leader of the Mojahedin-e Khalq terrorist group (MEK): Mrs. Maryam Rajavi (the other leader is her husband Massoud).

“The wave of hangings in Iran. The responsibility of Europe “, this is the title of the conference moderated by the Honorable Member of the Brothers of Italy Emanuele Pozzolo, which saw the participation of various deputies and senators, including Carlo Cottarelli (ex International Monetary Fund), Giulio Terzi (ex Ambassador of Italy to Israel, former Foreign Minister of the Monti government, now Senator of Giorgia Meloni’s party), Marco Scurria, Giangiacomo Calovini, Gisella Naturale, Lucio Malan, Elisabetta Zamparutti (Italian Radicals). Could John Bercow, speaker of the English parliament, have been missing?
“Everyone reiterated the importance of continuing the fight against the Iranian regime and remaining united and strong, waiting for that misstep by the regime that will surely come.”
So say the parliamentary news (1), while Tehran officially protests with our ambassador, “following the action of several Italian parliamentarians in hosting a terrorist in the country’s parliament” (2).

But what does the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI) represent, what our institutions today celebrate as the Iranian resistance?
The initiative, according to the Hon. Pozzolo di Fdi “It launches an important, unprecedented and transversal signal. Iran, in these inhuman and criminal conditions, must not only be stigmatized but fought, fought, leaving the Iranian people free and recognizing the people’s right to self-defense against a criminal theocracy”.

But then the piece by the Iranian journalist Alireza Niknam arrives in our editorial office and it turns out that the “Mojahedin”, which our politicians like so much, are responsible for the killing of more than 15,000 Iranian citizens and an unspecified number of Iraqi citizens, as well as actively represent a history hand in hand with the West for purposes, perhaps not as noble as those declared to the rooftops.

So who did we host and celebrate in the Chamber of Deputies, what political and geopolitical function does the MEK have and by whom is it favored and for what purposes?

The most important achievement of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (MEK): the repression of human rights
By Alireza Niknam

The People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (MEK, hereafter PMOI, ndt) is a paramilitary organization that started operating in Iran in 1965. After the victory of the Iranian Islamic Revolution in 1979, this organization claimed that the Islamic Revolution of Iran was accomplished thanks to them. Yet, they did not win in any elections and for this reason they tried to take revenge on the people and started fighting against the Islamic Republic of Iran in 1981.

The PMOI has carried out many terrorist acts against the Islamic Republic. He has conducted terrorist operations large and small. In total, more than 17,000 Iranians have been assassinated by the PMOI. The most notable attack was the bombing of the Prime Minister’s office and the Islamic Republic of Iran party office.

President Mohammad Ali Rajaie, Prime Minister Mohammad Bahonar and the head of the Supreme Court of the Islamic Republic of Iran were killed in these two attacks. The PMOI fled from Iran to Iraq and, with the support of Saddam Hussein, the dictator of Iraq, took up arms against his own country and took part in two operations against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

After the ceasefire between Iran and Iraq, the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI), supported by Saddam Hussein, attacked Iran with the aim of conquering Tehran within days. Once they arrived in Iran, this group committed heinous acts, even going so far as to hang or burn people.

This organization now considers itself the advocate of human rights, an alternative for Iran and is trying with all its strength and all means to attack the Islamic Republic.

At the end of Saddam Hussein’s regime, after about 25 years of presence in Iraq, with the financial support of some Arab countries and the direct support of the Americans, the PMOI was expelled from Iraq and established itself in Albania, from where seeks to present a new definition of itself to the world community by attacking the Islamic Republic of Iran with all its might and all means. In its new image, WIPO seeks to demonstrate that issues such as human rights are of great importance.

In the definition of human rights, we find: Human rights are the set of innate fundamental rights that every person enjoys as a human being. Consequently, they belong to all people, everywhere in the world, and no one can be deprived of human rights simply because of the geographical area in which they live, while all people, regardless of factors such as race, nationality, gender, etc. These rights include legal rights or natural rights that exist in national and international law. This definition, which is like a rule, can be used to measure the adherence of countries and groups such as the People’s Mojahedin Organization to the rule of Human Rights.

From the beginning of its existence until today, this organization pretends and claims that it respects human rights all over the world and constantly attacks others in case of suspected violation of human rights, justifying its actions in this sense, but does not underline the destruction of the fundamental rights of its own members and their opponents.

The PMOI frequently violates human rights without ever admitting a single case of human rights violations.

In the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran, no one has the right to go out. No one has the right to separate themselves from political life and lead a normal life. Within the PMOI, members are like slaves who must pay the price for their bad choices for the rest of their lives and endure eternal prison, dead or alive.

No one has the right to secretly or openly oppose the orders and actions of the leaders of the organization.

Any opposition is severely repressed. According to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the People’s Mojahedin Organization is defined as an “independent organization”, within which those who oppose and criticize the organization are transferred to prisons and torture centers.

People who criticize the People’s Mojahedin Organization are harassed, beaten, terrorized both morally and physically, inside and outside Camp Ashraf. The People’s Mojahedin and their leaders portray critical and isolated members of this group as spies for the Islamic Republic of Iran, simply because they criticized them or told a story they didn’t like.

In this regard, any defecting member who criticizes this organization or does anything against the will of the PMOI leadership is considered an enemy, and according to the order of the PMOI leadership itself, shedding the blood of these people is an organizational order, even if were in a European country.

According to numerous reports from defecting members, PMOI leaders Massoud and Maryam Rajavi said that dissidents and individuals who have carried out activities against their organization are worse than the IRGC and the Islamic Republic’s Ministry of Intelligence, ordering all the members: “Go after them, wherever you find them, kill them by all means and stand on their corpses until the police arrive”. Don’t be afraid, European prisons are starred hotels that you will surely like”.

Within the PMOI, no one can marry or have a family. According to Massoud and Maryam Rajavi, in the process of ideological revolution, the family is like a poison, a great obstacle. A person who has joined the Mujahedin and considers himself a member of the PMOI does not recognize anyone else, he no longer knows his father, mother, children, sisters and brothers except the leaders and colleagues of the organization. In this regard, quoting the Bible and the Koran and comparing himself and Maryam Rajavi to Jesus Christ and Mary, Massoud said: “Whoever loves his family more than me is not worthy of me”. In the People’s Mojahedin Organization, even thinking about home and family is considered a crime for members.

Within the People’s Mojahedin Organization, no one is allowed to study science or learn a foreign language. No one is allowed to have a personal device such as a cell phone or computer and communicate freely with the outside world. No one is allowed to call their family members.

Some people who managed to contact their families from the Mojahedin base were accused of espionage, then sentenced to death on Rajavi’s orders. As women who have left the Mojahedin say, there are no borders to sexual abuse. Some of the women who left the country spoke of serious human rights violations and others said they slept with Massoud Rajavi in the name of the ideological revolution.

Now, how can we believe the slogan of the protection of human rights and individual freedoms by this notorious organization that has been guilty of these acts throughout its history?
