Mujahedin Khalq Terror group

US presidential candidates, MKO terrorists; any link

In his article on Antiwar.com on Monday, Justin Raimondo wrote about the MKO’s advocates among the US presidential candidates and their being motivated to take part in the MKO campaign for taking out of the US list of foreign terrorist groups mostly for private gain.

This American author says "Bolton has long championed the Mujahadeen-e-Khalq (Peoples’ Mujahideen, or MEK), an Islamo-Marxist cult widely hated in Iran."

Earlier last month Newt Gingrich promised to appoint the controversial former ambassador to the United Nations for President George W. Bush, John Bolton, to be secretary of state if elected president.

The analyst also warned that under a Gingrich administration we would witness the spectacle of the US Army "installing in power a group currently on the US State Department’s list of terrorist organizations".

Some months earlier Republican figures including John Bolton, Newt Gingrich, Rudy Giuliani, and former Attorney General Michael Mukasey also took part in the campaign to remove MKO from US blacklist.

He made reference to another Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts governor, Mitt Romney, and stated that "Romney, too, has his MEK connection," alluding to Romney’s especial advisor, Mitchell Reiss, who is a leading supporter for Mujahedin-e Khalq terrorist group.

The editorial director of Antiwar.com also pointed out that Mujahedin-e Khalq enjoys "widespread support on Capitol Hill" and stated that "this is the only terrorist group I know of that is allowed to maintain an unofficial embassy in Washington through various front groups".

He raised a question that "could it have something to do with the large amounts of cash the MEK front groups in Washington are throwing around?" concluding that some of these supporters are somehow motivated to take part in the campaign in Washington to remove the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK, MKO, PMOI, Rajavi cult) from the US list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations mostly by the desire for private gain and, in fact, are charged by MKO’s front groups.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

MKO relocates terrorists to Europe

The 200 members of the terrorist Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) who disappeared from the notorious Camp Ashraf in Iraq in past months have been reappearing in European countries.

Nine Massoud Rajavi loyalists, who had been taken to Camp Ashraf from Canada, have once again returned to the North American country.

With the help of the Zionist lobby, the group has been tasked with contacting Canadian politicians and convincing them the situation in Camp Ashraf is exactly as the Rajavi cult has described.

Another four Rajavi acolytes have gone to Washington and filed a lawsuit against the Iraqi government, which has decided to close the camp. This is while the Iraqi judicial system is currently investigating the Iraqi people’s complaint against organized crimes carried out by the terrorist cell.

Three Rajavi acolytes who have recently arrived in Europe are expert bomb makers trained by Saddam Hussein’s army.

Kashmiri and Kolahi, who masterminded the assassination of a former Iranian president and prime minister in the 1980s, have both been sighted in the suburbs of Cologne, Germany.

Analysts maintain that Rajavi will not hesitate to use such MKO operatives to attack Iranian and Iraqi embassies in Western countries in order to stoke tension in political relations.

The US and Iraq’s intelligence services agreed last week to get Massoud Rajavi out of the camp so that the Iraqi government would be able to close it.

Rajavi will be taken to the second major base of the terrorist group in the suburbs of Paris.

The Iraqi government has made clear its plans to close down the notorious Camp Ashraf, located about 120 kilometers (74 miles) west of the border with Iran.

On November 27, the US government announced it is mulling removing the anti-Iran organization from its terrorist blacklist and giving refuge to its members, a move which many believe is an indication of Washington’s support for terrorism.

The MKO is designated as a terrorist organization under United States law, and has been described by State Department officials as a repressive cult.

The group fled to Iraq in 1986, where it enjoyed the support of Iraq’s executed dictator Saddam Hussein, and set up the camp in Diyala Province, near the Iranian border.

MKO is also known to have cooperated with Saddam in suppressing the 1991 uprisings in southern Iraq and the massacre of Iraqi Kurds. The group has carried out numerous acts of violence against Iranian civilians and government officials.

Iran has repeatedly called on the Iraqi government to expel the group, but the US has blocked the expulsion by mounting pressure on the Iraqi government.

To the judges of European supreme court of justice

Honorable and distinguished judges of European supreme court of justice

Respectfully,
We are a group of former members of pmoi( People’s Mujahedin Organization of Iran) who had spent a great deal of their lives in Ashraf garrison and the other bases of this organization in Iraq and during those years we had been witnessing horrifying incidents and events which were all related to human rights and sentimental issues. Around 2 weeks ago on 21 of December 2011 ,you rejected the French government appeal of the European union verdict of 4 of December 2008 related to revoking terrorist label against pmoi and you emphasized and reiterated over delisting of this organization from the terrorist list and you called the French appeal request as an invalid request. In issuing of this verdict the role of Mrs. Shariston as the attorney of this file and dossier is very clear.

We know perfectly that most human rights issues as well as juridical and humanitarian issues throughout the world are contaminated to the wrong policies and any humanitarian principles are trampled easily for the sake of political and economical interests and the only thing which has lost its value is humanitarian and human rights values.

We know also that sometimes listing and delisting of the terrorist organizations has been affected by the contaminated and wrong policies and politics and if everything was implemented and carried out justly ,there was no need to put this organization(pmoi) in the European and US terrorist list in long interval from each other, because the performance of this organization during past 30 years is not covert for anyone.

Honorable judges

You are confronted with the organization which during the first years of the beginning of arm struggle had done hundreds assassinations on the streets ,so called revolutionary executions, and they have assassinated and slain more than hundreds of Iranian people by using bombs and automatic submachine guns ,in the pretext of their cooperation and involvement with the different Islamic republic organizations, on the streets and in mosques .

You are confronted with the organization ,which from 1981 till few years after the Kuwait war, has bombed and exploded governmental buildings and oil pipes and other places which as a result of that many innocent people have been killed and slain by them.

You are confronted with the organization which has implemented and carried out more than hundreds mortar attacks and missile operations on the streets of Tehran and other cities of Iran just few years before the fall of Saddam Hussein and they have targeted the buildings which both military personnel and ordinary innocent people ,like women and children, were in it.

You are confronted with the organization which has assassinated few American military advisers during the shah’s time in 70,s and had participated in hostage taking of American Embassy in Teheran ( they had a significant role in that operation which some video clips related to that event is available in YouTube).

You are confronted with the organization which its spiritual leader ,Massoud Rajavi, declared in official gathering that he will assassinate and slay the pmoi separated members and his critics on the streets of Europe if he does not succeed and fail in his cultic plans.

Honorable judges

You are on the position of judgment and many eyes are watching you. if one of those terrorist military operations happened and occurred in European cities , you would have silenced? Have not you condemned it as a terrorist act ?

Had not the leader of this organization , Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, declared self immolation order to her own members in the heart of Europe in 2003 and because of that order more than ten people set themselves on fire for her release? Do you know that simultaneously with Europe also in Ashraf Garrison the pmoi operatives had recruited for self immolation? Do not you think that these brutal and savage actions are not a terrorist danger for the future of Europe?

Honorable judges

Each one of us has lost one or more members of our families during these 30 years and also we have sacrificed and spent many years of our lives in this organization to fight against Islamic republic … we know well that the brutal and bloody policies of Massoud Rajavi during past 30 years has been precisely against the peaceful struggle and demanding democracy of Iranian people . we know very well that if any person who has perpetrated many crimes ,he or she can not be punished or killed on the alley or street by the order and the will of some one else without going to the court of law and without any trial and official judgment and this brutal action be called as a revolutionary execution and they call it as a street trial . you as the professionals in your position in judicial and juridical affaires know very well that these kind of brutal actions are the clear and apparent breach of human rights rules. No one can be punished without the trial and substantiation of the crime but the leaders of pmoi are not committed to such international rules and they have not showed any remorse of their brutal and bloody past in nowhere.

You honorable judges know that we had been members of this cult in the past and forcibly we knew such actions ( specially in the cold war which was the era of arm struggles) as an legitimate and lawful action because we did not have any idea about the breach of human rights , juridical and lawful issues because our thoughts were formed by the things which our leaders were saying to us, but you in the free and democratic world and society knew that such actions do not have any lawful and juridical legitimacy and we expect you to review the past of this organization carefully one more time .

Do you know that colonel Sayad Shirazi was assassinated and killed right in front of the eyes of his child on the street by the direct order of pmoi leader ,Massoud Rajavi? Who had put this colonel on trial and sentenced him to be executed and killed without any court of law and any official verdict even if he had done many crimes ? In which court of law such verdict and maximum penalty, death by firing squad, has been issued? Do you accept that a criminal , any criminal , be executed or assassinated in front of his terrified eyes of his own child? This is just an example of hundreds assassinations that pmoi has done.

Most of the pmoi assassinations had happened on streets and inside the mosques . we do not judge about the crimes which had perpetrated by the people who were assassinated but we are talking about the way of handling those trials and the punishments . Do you know that inside of the mosques women and children were present and some of those innocent people also were wounded or killed by the assassins? what about those innocents, women and children, who were wounded and killed?

Some of us were present in the scuffles which happened after the Kuwait war in Iraq. many times the homes and the properties of the ordinary iraqi people were targeted in the cities such as Touz Khormatou and Soleymanbak and Kefri and women and children and elderly people got injured and they were crying and begging the pmoi operatives not to target their homes . Do not you think that such actions are terrorist act and crime against humanity?

Honorable judges

Do the leaders of this organization has changed their violent strategy and policy? if it is true where have they declared it officially? is their forcible disarmament the criteria of their change? If it is true why during past 2 years hundreds of the pmoi members who were equipped with hand made baton , club , archery and wooden shields were sent by Massoud Rajavi direct order to fight against Iraqi soldiers? why those pmoi members by the direct order of Massoud Rajavi throw rocks and pieces of iron and fireballs toward the elderly parents of those pmoi stranded members?

Do you ,as honorable judges ,have enough recognition of the leaders of this dangerous religious cult? Have you spoken with hundreds of separated members of this cult to find more vital facts about their internal relations?

There is no doubt that the politics may be contaminated to corruption and we hope that the European courts specially the European supreme court of justice will always be free of any politics But there is an ambiguity for us that for what reason the French government appeal has been rejected?

Do not you think that the leaders of this cult are terrorist so how do you call and see those terrorist actions which had been perpetrated by pmoi during past 30 years ? and if you think that the leadership of this cult has changed its strategy and behavior what is your criteria and how do you confirm it? Is Rajavi ready to say in the Press and the Media that he is remorseful of all terrorist actions that he ordered and he says officially that he is responsible and has made a mistake? If they do not want to say it , so with what criteria can you be completely confident and sure that after all these events and residing of Massoud Rajavi and some of pmoi operatives in Europe, again they do not begin their terrorist actions against their dissidents and critics?

Honorable judges

We ,as the former members of this dangerous religious cult , have been witnessing of many terrorist and criminal actions which have been planned by Massoud and Maryam Rajavi and we are ready to be present at any court of law that you mention to testify as witnesses . Most of those crimes has occurred against the dissidents and critic members and those crimes have been covert unfortunately . many members have lost their lives in Ashraf Garrison either under torture or by committing suicide and self immolation and more than hundreds of those members were incarcerated either in Ashraf garrison or Iraqi prisons such as Abughrib prison ,just because they were against the pmoi internal ideological revolution. Many of those pmoi incarcerated members in Iraqi prisons were exchanged as prisoners of war (POW) with Islamic republic. All those suicides which happened inside Ashraf garrison were because of inhumane pressures which the pmoi leadership exerted upon them.

So how is it possible to go through of all those facts without scrutiny and investigation and just by false claims of pmoi leadership and its officials, give the verdict? What about all those victims of pmoi terrorist actions , have they been mentioned in your verdict? Do not you think that before any verdict ,it was better to talk with some of those victims and let them share their views and experiences about pmoi with you? Have you been informed that during current year many pmoi members escaped from Ashraf garrison and took refuge in United Nation and among them there were women of leadership council ? was it not better for you and your verdict to talk with them first who are the most valuable sources and witness of the pmoi internal relations?

We are eager to see justice to what extent in the supreme court of justice and other European courts what comes first? We hope that with this verdict( which is only in favor of pmoi leaders and it does not solve any problems of those stranded members who have been victims of the pmoi leadership’s terrorist and inhumane policies) the future of the European youth will not be affected by the sectarianism and dangerous terrorist actions which may happen by the rise of religious cults and sects on European soil.

We, the former members of this dangerous religious cult, are ready to help you as much as possible to inform you more about these dangerous religious cults because we do not want that European youth like us become victims of such cults which are capable of brainwashing and forcing them to set themselves on fire and commit suicide for the sake of cultic thoughts and ideology. Fortunately the Iranian informed and intelligent girls and boys have shown perfectly during the recent years that they have recognized utterly these kind of cults, consequently for their own safety and security, they keep their distance from them as much as possible for that reason Rajavi has lost his hope on Iranian youth and instead he has counted on European youth.

Respectfully

Mujahedin Khalq; A proxy force

Ex-CIA chief reveals US officials support for MKO

Former CIA counter-terrorism chief and 27 year CIA veteran, Vincent Cannistraro, says MEK is a terrorist group truly taking advantage of US officials support. Ex-CIA chief reveals US officials support for MKO

Referring to Mujahedin-e Khalq terrorists enjoying widespread support within the United States Vincent Cannistraro told Habilian in a recent interview, “I agree that the MEK is a cult that interestingly is a terrorist group supported by neo-conservatives and others.”

Cannistraro who served as Director of Intelligence Programs for the United States National Security Council (NSC) from 1984 to 1987, said "some apparently think it’s not terrorism when it only kills people you don’t like."

Earlier last month, a group of the US congressmen asked the Obama administration to take the MKO off the US terrorist list and increase efforts to keep its terrorist elements in Iraq.

Mujahedin Khalq; A proxy force

Mitt Romney, Strangely Unfamiliar With the MEK

During Mitt Romney’s last month’s lackluster debate performance with a town hall in New Hampshire, an audience member asked the potential Republican nominee if he supported efforts by prominent political leaders in Washington to remove the Mujahedin-e-Khalq, an Iranian dissident terrorist group, from the State Department’s list of designated terrorist organizations.

Romney responded: "I have not heard of the MEK, so I can’t possibly tell you whether I support the MEK. I’ll take a look at the issue."

If Romney has truly never heard of the MEK, he won’t have to go far to learn more-his own special advisor on foreign policy, Mitchell Reiss, is a leading advocate for the group. In the past, the MEK directed bombing campaigns in Iran, but the group was de-listed from the European Union’s list of terrorist organizations in 2009 and would like America to do the same.

Reiss, the president of Washington College, issued a call last spring for removal of the MEK from the terrorist list, saying: "Time is running out, lives are at stake. For the United States this is a case where American interests of opposing the regime in Tehran are entirely consistent with American values of freedom and democracy."

In October, Reiss spoke at a policy briefing on the MEK. In fact, Reiss attended an MEK event just this past weekend.

The issue is hardly under the radar. Andrew Card, John Bolton, Rudolph Guliani, and Tom Ridge have all advocated for the MEK’s removal from the State Department’s list of terrorist organizations. Democrats like Bill Richardson, Patrick Kennedy, and Wesley Clark, have issued similar pleas.

For more, read MoJo’s coverage of the American PR firm that works on MEK’s behalf; Salon’s Justin Elliott has frequently reported on the issue as well.

Iraqi Authorities' stance on the MEK

Former Minister urges trial of MKO members

Former Iraqi Oil Minister Ibrahim Bahrol-Oloum asked the country’s Judiciary officials to put the members of the terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) on trial for their crimes against the Iraqi people.

"We call on Iraq’s Judiciary to try anyone or any group who has committed a crime against the Iraqi nation," Bahrol-Oloum told FNA on Tuesday, adding that any move in this regard is considered as a positive response to the demands of the Iraqi people.

"All political groups and parties which hold power should cooperate with each other to put the criminals on trial," he underscored.

In relevant remarks in September, Iraqi Minister of Finance Baqir al-Zubaidi had strongly condemned the crimes committed by the terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) against his nation, and stressed that the group’s ringleaders should stand trial before being expelled from Iraq’s soil.

"The MKO has committed many crimes in Iraq and for that reason the criminal leaders of this group should be tried before being expelled from Iraq," Zubaidi said at a meeting with Seyed Mohammad Javad Hasheminejad, the Secretary-General of Iran’s Habilian Association – a human rights group formed by the families of 17,000 terror victims in Iran.

"Before the process starts for their expulsion, Iraqi officials are required to take action on behalf of the Iraqi nation to swiftly probe and verify the crimes committed by this cult," the minister reiterated.

The MKO, whose main stronghold is in Iraq, is blacklisted by much of the international community, including the United States.

The MKO is behind a slew of assassinations and bombings inside Iran, a number of EU parliamentarians said in a recent letter in which they slammed a British court decision to remove the MKO from the British terror list. The EU officials also added that the group has no public support within Iran because of their role in helping Saddam Hussein in the Iraqi imposed war on Iran (1980-1988).

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

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

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

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

Iranian Pen Club to the European supreme court of justice

Open letter of the Iranian Pen Club to the European supreme court of justice

your confirmation regarding not to accept and recognize the pmoi( People’s Mujahedin Organization of Iran) as a terrorist organization after the French government just and truth objection and appeal , there is no doubt that it is a very big juridical mistake and it seems that the European supreme court which the justice has been designated as its name , has trampled the name of justice in this case, and Iranian people will not forgive your mistake which it seems that is a political matter. Our reasons are as follows:

1. This organization( pmoi) from the beginning of its foundation has utilized the behavior of arm struggle as the main tool to gain the political power and since the Shah’s time , this organization has insisted on this behavior .

2. This organization, according to their own confirmation is the first organization which organized the suicide missions in the middle east and carried out those missions in Iran, the missions which became as pattern and sample for the terrorist organizations such as Al Qaida in Afghanistan and the other violent organizations in the middle east.

3. The pmoi by its leadership ,Massoud Rajavi in Iraq and Maryam Rajavi in Paris had begun its mortar attacks inside Iranian cities in 1987 ( 1376) which is the biggest and the most undeniable document and proof of their violent behavior against the ordinary Iranian residents , and they can not hide or deny any of those attacks as a result of tens of vital documents and proofs which are available.

4. The pmoi and its leadership in Iraq and in Paris has not declared yet officially and in any place by showing a reliable and clear document that they have set aside and abandon the arm struggle . the Iranian people’s mind and memory can not be fooled by the deceit and political play of the juridical authorities in Europe and by their deliberately evaluation of the Iranian as ignorant people which specially and practically the European supreme court of justice has done it in this case.

5. The symbol of arm and submachine gun as logo in their emblem since 40 years ago shows their violent thoughts and behavior which has not been changed yet.
The honorable and distinguished judges of the European supreme court of justice

Unfortunately you have reconfirmed the delisting of this organization( with the traits mentioned above) from the European union terrorist list and the Iranian people think that in any violent activity which this organization may implement perpetrate in future , the European supreme court of justice should see its share and role in it and they should sense its heavy burden on their conscience and this fact is not far from the Iranian people’s expectations.

As you know well that the Basque combatants in Spain recently according to an official statement declared their renunciation and abdication from terrorism and violence as a tool for gaining identity and political power and they declared it officially and openly and Spanish people and politicians will reevaluate the Basque combatants after their declaration.

During past years the Irish Liberation army also has chosen the political struggle as the main solution for reaching to its political objectives and as a result of that they disbanded their military wing. Today’s world move forward far from using political violence , and using sword and arm for exertion and indoctrination of the thoughts and beliefs on the people in the space era and 21 century is completely out of question .

Honorable European supreme court of justice

If you as an important authority and justice seeker on the European soil has closed your eyes on pmoi terrorist activities and their mistakes , according to your heavy humane responsibilities ask this organization that if they truly believe in denunciation and banishment of the arm struggle as the main tool for compelling and the exertion of their political beliefs and also if they have abandoned the arm struggle for ever and like the civilized people throughout the world have accepted the political solutions to express their thoughts and beliefs and they are practically committed to it , they should declare it officially and openly for Iranian people and the people throughout the world and you should ask this organization to declare this transformation by an official statement . otherwise you should accept that you have been deceived by their false policies and their hired lawyers but their movement and activities are under vigilant Iranian people surveillance and they will not be deceived.

The bitter truth is that before of all the Iranian people have been paying the price of the terrorism and the institutionalized violence in mujahedin’s terrorist cult and this fact has begotten an irrecoverable and irreparable losses on Iran democracy path.

Iran

Western supporters of MKO refuse to have them in their own countries

The Iranian foreign ministry called for the rapid expulsion of the terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) from neighboring Iraq, and called on the European countries which support the terrorist group to shelter its members. Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast

"The grouplet’s (MKO’s) fate should be determined as soon as possible," Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast said on Tuesday, asking those European states which provide support for the terrorist group to transfer them from Iraq and shelter them in their countries.

The reason why Europeans support the MKO, but refrain from sheltering its members lies in the fact that "they like insecurity to remain in the regional countries but they themselves continue to live in security and support such groups", he reiterated.

Mehman-Parast described the European states’ behavior as unacceptable, and said those countries which claim to be advocates of human rights should confront the terrorist groups like the MKO.

The Iraqi government in late 2011 forced members of the MKO out of their main training camp in the Northern Diyala province.

According to reports, one of the ringleaders of the MKO announced that the MKO was about to start relocating its members from their headquarters to a new place in Iraq.

He added that the first group of MKO members were about to be transferred to a new place specified by the Iraqi government.

Iraqi Government Spokesman Ali Al-Dabbaq stressed on Wednesday that Baghdad had not extended the presence of the MKO in Iraq, dismissing western media reports that had alleged to the opposite.

"The deadline for MKO’s presence on Iraq’s soil has not been extended but the way they will leave Iraq has changed and will take place in two phases," Dabbaq stated.

"Based on the agreements made with the UN, the MKO members will leave Iraq’s soil in two phases, they will be relocated to Camp Liberty and then leave the Iraqi soil from the camp," Dabbaq said.

"As we have earlier announced, the MKO members will leave Camp Ashraf (now the Camp of New Iraq) by the end of 2011," Dabbaq underscored.

Based on the UN proposal, the MKO members will be moved to Camp Liberty base, the US former base near Baghdad’s airport.

Since the beginning of 2011, the Baghdad government has repeatedly assured Iranian officials and people that it is determined to expel the MKO from Iraq by the end of 2011.

Meantime, a report in December disclosed that the main leader of the MKO, Massoud Rajavi, in remarks interpreted as informally declaring war on Iraq cautioned that he would not allow Baghdad to expel the group from Iraq, and stressed that he will keep the MKO in the country even if it costs the lives of all the group members.

According to a report published by the Habilian website, Rajavi has ordered the commanders of Camp Ashraf (the MKO’s main training center located in Iraq’s Northern Diyala province) to be ready to resist against the Iraqi forces, saying that it would not matter if all Camp residents are killed for obtaining his desired goals.

He also ordered his commanders to strengthen the military positions at the camp and in the surrounding areas by erecting numerous bulwarks and hurdles around the Camp and be ready for a war with the Iraqi government.

The MKO has been in Iraq’s Diyala province since the 1980s.

The MKO, whose main stronghold is in Iraq, is blacklisted by much of the international community, including the United States.

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

France / People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran

Honorable President of the European supreme court of justice

I , Mohammad Karami , had been a member of pmoi( People’s Mujahedin Organization of Iran) since 1976.

In 1977, I got arrested by the S.A.V.A.K ( the Shah’s security service) and after a while I got released.

I got arrested in 1980 as a result of political activities in Iran and I was sentenced to death by Islamic Republic ,but fortunately I could escape from the Islamic Republic prison along with some of my friends . In 1984 as a result of my disagreements and objections with the policies of pmoi leadership, I got arrested for 6 months and during imprisonment I was under severe torture . During my membership in pmoi as a result of my objections against the dictatorship policies of the pmoi leadership , I got beaten up more than 40 times and I was put on trial many times. In the last two trial , I was sentenced to death by Massoud Rajavi himself. After the downfall of Saddam Hussein government as a result of turbulent conditions inside pmoi , I along with some of my friends could escape from pmoi and we took refuge in American camp , TIPF.

Honorable judges

The French government appeal of the European Union verdict of 4 of December 2008 related to revoking terrorist label against pmoi, it was a just and correct request. The French government has a very good recognition of the pmoi activities which its headquarter based in Auvers-sur-Oise .The French government has distinguished perfectly that pmoi is a terrorist organization. For this reason Maryam Rajavi with other 160 pmoi operatives and officials along with a great amount of documents( such as 8 million euro which was inside a drawer of Maryam Rajavi’s worktable and many plans which pertained to their intention of attacking to places in Europe and occupying them) got arrested by French police on 17 June 2003, truly the US state department has listed them as a foreign terrorist organization.

Honorable judges

I ,as a former member of pmoi who has almost 30 years record of service and membership in pmoi, had been witnessing many terrorist activities of pmoi such as the suppression and slaying of the Iraqi Kurds in Northern part of Iraq in 1991, suppression and slaying of Iraqi Shiae in Southern part of Iraq in 1991, slaying and killing of Iranian defenseless people, slaying of Iranian people in pretext of having beard ( the pmoi operatives were guessing that the people with beard were working for Islamic Republic government ), targeting the Iranian oil pipes with explosives , begetting and creating intimidation among ordinary people, suppressing and killing of the dissidents inside their relations , sending their dissidents to the notorious Iraqi prison , Abu ghrib, beating up their opposition and dissidents , issuing execution order to kill and assassinate the dissidents and separated members of pmoi ….

I am completely ready to participate in any international court of law which intend to investigate about the pmoi crimes and I am ready to stand as a reliable witness with 30 years record of service and membership in pmoi and testify about those crimes in that court of law . I am a victim of pmoi who has been beaten up and threatened many times by the pmoi operatives and supporters in Europe which its files and dossiers are accessible in police station.

All the best

Rights group warn German Interior Minister of MKO

According to Habilian Association database (families of terror victims in Iran), Ali Akbar Rastgou, defected member of MKO terrorist group, now living in Germany, in an open letter to German Ali Akbar Rastgou, MKO former member Interior Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich requested him not to let MKO members enter the country under the cover of wounded patients.

The full text of the letter is as follows:

As you know Iraqi government has given an extension to a deadline for the closure of the base of the Mojahedin-e Khalq, Camp Ashraf.

By contrast, we were surprised to see Maryam Rajavi’s expression of readiness to cooperate with Iraqi government and the UN for the closure of the Camp.

We would like to warn you against a premature decision for accepting "refugees" of Camp Ashraf.

Rajavi’s retreat from her propaganda campaign and spending billions of dollars for retention of Camp Ashraf, her collaboration for the dissolution of the camp and resettlement of hundreds of MKO members all confirms the suspicion that Mujahedin-e Khalq organization sees the struggle for Ashraf a futile effort, and at the present time she is trying to help the leadership (in Camp Ashraf) escape with their lives.

There are many rumors swirling around the MKO leader’s efforts to transfer the leadership and top militants to Europe.

This week Switzerland announced its readiness to resettle refugees of Camp Ashraf, though it did not provide any medical services to 11 wounded patients of them, since after some investigation they found out that "these individuals pose a great threat to Switzerland’s national security."

It is rumored that MKO attempts to transfer its leadership members by Doctors Without Borders (Medecins Sans Frontieres) under the cover of wounded people and patients.

According to Iraqi government’s recent plans, 800 members will be moved to Camp Liberty to be transferred to out of Iraq. It is strongly possible that they are the high rankings and trained militants. The cult hereby intends to save its valued members and transfer them to Europe.

The fate of the members of little value, especially critics, dissidents, and those who want to defect (from the cult) is not important for the MKO leadership. It is said that the cult wants to exploit them as martyrs and victims in clash with Iraqi security forces.

It is obvious that Mujahedin-e Khalq spends a lot of cash lobbying to get off US terrorist list and reinstate the camp. It shows that this cult does not spare any effort to achieve its goals.

Therefore we request you to:

Support UN plan for conducting interviews individually with each person in a safe location without the cult’s leadership presence.

Make the visit of MKO member’s families outside the camp with their relatives possible.

Do not let Germany become a haunt for terrorists! Germany has always been MKO’s backyard. Make sure of their organizational status before accepting them!

Sincerely Yours,

Ali Akbar Rastgou,Aawa Association
