RTSH Interview with Nejat Society Albania’s media manager

The Albanian Radio and Television (RTSH) interviewed Aldo Sulollari. The morning show hosted by Angelo Shkreli, received the journalist Aldo Sulollari to talk about his latest projects.

The interview went on with a lot of humor but also spicy moments about the media and social projects that the journalist Aldo Sulollari has recently promoted to the Albanian public.

In some parts, it has been talked about the lifestyle of the famous journalist in the United States of America, but also a return to do media projects in the national media in Albania.
A very interesting point of this interview was Aldo’s professional anniversary, which this year marks 10 years of being part of the Albanian media, explaining that his professional life is constantly divided between the Albanian media and the focus on American platforms.

When asked by the host about his social engagements, he explained that when social activities are centered on an individual, this initiative becomes very significant for the life of this person, but also for the community to whom these social activities are transmitted, but when these activities come from outside the country, they become more solid and important, but also very interesting for the Albanian public.

Aldo explains that he has been part of a social project of Nejat Society Albania for more than 2 years now. Aldo Sulollari explains about the project:
“We are creating everything from scratch, based on every normative legal provision. Nejat in Albania, which is known in Albanian as the “rescue” Society, as the name itself is directly twinned with the founding society located in Iran, which was created by mothers whose children are in the Mujahedin-e Khalq organization known as the MEK camp.

We were in another association with another logo, but the interest was to show in the most direct way that now is the time to save those Iranians locked in that camp and to show that life is beautiful and must be lived. In Iran, we are in the year 1403, while we are in 2024 here, and it is a pity to discuss that there are still such false democracies, where the family according to the MEK is the enemy and you should not communicate with it.

In the MEK organization, all human rights are violated, and moreover, they came to Albania with a humanitarian shelter status, where according to the law, by the Albanian institutions, that camp must be monitored to understand that there are many legal violations and the people are not living free.

There are many mothers who mourn every day for the fate of their children, who have joined a camp, to go to a European country for material benefits, promising that they will have a life with democratic principles, but they’ve been stuck there for years.”

Journalists asked Sulollari for more details about the projects of Nejat Society and how it operates in Albania for its members who have left the mujahedin-e Khalq:

Aldo Sulollari answered:
“I met them by chance, as you invited me to the show tonight, I went as a journalist 2 years ago for an interview, and since that day, they have become part of my professional and personal life. A boy named Mehdi, who spoke my language very well, made me understand that these people have come here to integrate, to get a job, create their families and live life from scratch. As before, and now we are creating activities grand and modest, all kinds of activities, we try to give our best, with a team of Iranians and a team of Albanians, united together, with the support of Albanian institutions, we are giving our best every day to integrate this community in our country, but also to bring the voice of parents in Iran, for whom they suffer every day the fate of not being able to contact with their children who are in Camp Ashraf3.

If you allow me, I want to say hello to a member of the Nejat association, who was previously a nurse, doctor, dentist, and when he came to our society, he even became a writer, writing his life story, leaving his mark through literature. Khalil Ansarian, an artist at heart, who loves life, work, and even his Albanian partner. He has told every detail of his life in the MEK organization, in his book.

Inspired by this, now the Nejat Society has made it possible for the Albanian public through 3 other Albanian writers, to bring to the Albanian readers 3 new publications which are different from each other, but with a single mission to leave a witness generation for this history that has been marked in the lives of these members and to make possible and transmit the voice of mothers in Iran.”

Furthermore, during the interview, there were many jokes, where the host of the program was sneezing, and Aldo asked him if he was allergic to the Mujahedin-e Khalq organization.
In this interview and Aldo’s statements, there was also the expectation for the near future to create a media program in the Albanian media this time, to be closer to the Albanian public.

The interview was closed with a great message for Albanian citizens and also for Albanian institutions.

Ebrahim Khodabandeh, CEO of Nejat Society, thanked the Albanian women in a message following the successful and fruitful activities of the women’s group of the Albanian Nejat Society.
The text of the message is as follows:

Greetings and regards
Hereby, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Women’s group of the Nejat Society of Albania and you, the active and caring head, for the successful and fruitful celebration of the International Women’s Day on Friday March 8, 2024 in Nejat Villa in Tirana.

The commemoration programs of this day started with social activities early in the morning in the center of Tirana city and continued with photo and poster exhibition in the Villa’s open area and finally ended with the conference of women supporters of the Nejat Society of Albania with prominent speeches in the Villa’s hall.

This was the second major act of the Albanian Nejat Society after the large gathering of November 26, 2023, since the announcement of its founding in less than six months.
Also, I congratulate you and your friends and all the eager families on the foundation of the students’ defense committee of the Albanian Nejat Society, which was announced in this conference, and I hope that these activities will be a source of good and blessings for the families.

The received reports indicate that you organized this program with the lowest cost and facilities and with round-the-clock efforts in a very limited time and with a very busy schedule, and you had good media coverage, including a report broadcast on several television channels.

While thanking all of you, it should be mentioned that now families have much higher expectations in the coming Persian New Year (Nowruz). The activities of you and your friends should finally convince the Albanian government to terminate the practice of modern slavery by MEK in Europe on the threshold of the second quarter of the 21st century.

Sincerely,
Ebrahim Khodabandeh

Women’s committee of Nejat Society Albania Statement on the occasion of March 8

The MEK has formed a modern slavery in European soil in the 21st century.

The Nejat Society of Albania, as an organization that supports Iranians living in this country, has declared one of its goals to fulfill the human rights demands of the families of the members trapped in the isolated and remote camp of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK, MKO, Rajavi Cult), and uses all its capacity in this direction.

The women’s group of this Society is specifically the voice of families and especially mothers who have not known about their loved ones for years and want to communicate with them. The leaders of the MEK prevent this communication and violate the most basic human rights of their members.

On this day (March 8), which is named for the rights of mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, and all women, our request is to respond to the calls of the grieving families, especially the mothers of members caught in the MEK in Albania, to provide the possibility of communication between them and their loved ones after many years of detachment and no news.

We ask the responsible authorities in the government of Albania to allow the families of the members of the MEK to communicate with their children and meet their loved ones. In the 21st century, the MEK has formed a modern slavery in European soil. In this organization, all basic human rights and freedoms are violated, one of which is the right to communicate with the free world, especially the family. This can be done simply with a phone call or by making it possible for families to travel to Albania to meet after so many years.

With respect,

Members of the Council of Women’s group of the Albanian Nejat Society:

Erisa Idrizi
Ela Deda
Brikela Sulollari

EuroNews Albania report on Nejat Society Albania

The international TV channel Euronews Albania participated in the event organized by the Nejat Society Albania on the occasion of Yalda night this year. The TV reporters filmed and interviewed the members and activists of the society.

Euro News produced a video report titled “The Land of Refugees” which was aired many times on this network in the first days of the new year.
This program was a thought-provoking short documentary that started with the relocation of Iranian refugees in Albania and the entry of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK). The report finally covered the activities of Nejat Society Albania.

It is noteworthy that in the report called the MEK as terrorists. It also broadcast the statements of Nejat Society in full. This report even held the MEK responsible for the hacking of Albania’s internet systems and introduced them as a threat to Albania’s national security.

Broadcasting such a program from a television channel in Albania is unexampled and has never happened before.

In the past, the MEK had introduced the News24 TV channel, the Albanian-language channel of the Iranian regime, for airing an interview with Ali Zamani, a recently defected member of the group. It remains to be seen what the group will say about EuroNews Albania.

Concluding Statement of The great gathering of the Nejat Society Albania

Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK, MKO) led by Massoud and Maryam Rajavi, while they were expelled from Iraq and no other country was willing to receive them, were accepted in Albania for humanitarian reasons about 7 years ago.
But this organization, according to the repeated statements of various responsible officials in the Albanian government, behaved beyond the agreements made and violated the laws of the Republic of Albania, and in an isolated and remote camp, they violated the most basic human rights of the members, that is, the right to communicate with the outside world. especially with the family.

The Albanian Nejat Society, consisting of former members of the MEK, those who managed to recover their freedom and set foot in the outside world, organized this rally with the help of families in Iran to raise public opinion in Albania regarding the issue of human rights violations in the MEK camp. Their aim is to inform the Albanians about the situation and ask the authorities to intervene in this matter and prevent the continuation of this process.

Therefore, we, the participants of this rally, while thanking and appreciating the responsible officials in the government and police of Albania for the support provided to the Iranians living in Albania and especially the members of the Albanian Nejat Society, would like to inform the Albanian government of the following requests:
1. Conditions should be provided and arrangements should be made so that the families of the members of the MEK in Albania can obtain visas and entry permits and travel to Albania so that they can closely monitor the conditions of their loved ones.
2. Refrain from sending the defectors of the MEK to Iran, even if it is apparently voluntary, because these people are travelling from Albania, which hosts the MEK, without Iranian identity documents, and due to their history of activity with the MEK they face prison and prosecution.

3. The activity of the MEK against the security of the people of Iran in cyberspace, which takes place from the territory of Albania, continues as in previous years, and there is still no serious action visible on the part of the government of Albania against such actions that endanger the national security of Albania.

4. On June 20 of this year, the MEK reacted violently against a legal action of the Albanian police to inspect their camp, which resulted in the injury of a number of police officers. Similar to this incident, when this organization was present in Iraq, also happened against the legal action of the Iraqi police to inspect the Ashraf camp. Unfortunately, there was no reaction to this clearly illegal action of the MEK in Albania.

Ebrahim khodabandeh, as a supporter of the Nejat Society in Iran, gave a big thank to the Albanian institutions that have supported the Iranain community in Albania not only by integrating them as best as possible in various professional fields, but also by giving them an opportunity to create a life they had missed inside the MEK camp.

the Nejat Society conference in Tirana

Ebrahim Khodabandeh, the head of the Nejat Society, said that the MEK organization keep its members locked up and deprive them of basic human rights. The MEK claimed that it would form an opposition that promises democracy and freedom, but they took away from the members the right to communicate with their families, and they took away the right to live freely.

The association Nejat Albania operates in the framework of the integration of this foreign community in Albania and has made it possible for them to protect the status of human rights by enabling re-contact with their families in Iran and creating a stabilized life in Albania.

Hamid Atabay

Hamid Atabay former member of the MEK and now a member of Nejat testified his own dark personal experiences that accompanied him in his years of staying within the MEK camps. He described how his life has changed since the establishment of Nejat. He further shows that staying in the MEK means being a person without rights.

Part of this conference was also a mother who still has her son in the MEK camp who said that she has had no contact with her son for many years.

Soraya Abdollahi said: the MEK took away our right to feel the love of our children, our children have fallen prey to a huge fraud. I am very excited when I see the support of Albanian citizens through this conference because it gives me hope to meet my son, Amir Aslan.

I also appeal to the Albanian institutions and the Prime Minister himself to make it possible for the mothers to meet their children, but also to tell them the bitter truth that camp leaders destroyed those people lives only for their own interests.
