ASILA authorities appreciated the efforts made by Hassan Heirani and his friends and colleagues in ASILA office in Tirana.

ASILA members in Tehran

The guests of Nejat Society finally returned to Tehran and attended a meeting with a large group of families who had come from all over Iran.

As the Iranian head of ASILA, Hassan Heirani started the meeting reporting that the actions of his society are accomplished under the regulations and protection of the Albanian government in contrast with the illegal activities of the MEK against its own current and former members in the soil of Albania. “The Albanian security service has come to know that the MEK is a dangerous entity that makes efforts to obstruct the activities of defectors.”

A number of family members of MEK hostages who have been present in the meeting spoke of their grieves during the dozens of years of separation.
Weeping tears, the sister of Forouzaned (Zhila) Kakavand said, “We have had no news of my sister for 40 years. Based on which rule, religion or doctrine, contacting your family is considered a crime? The international human rights bodies just kept silent regarding the pains and grieves we have endured in these 40 past years.”
The brother of Abbas and Musa Faraji was on the verge of bursting into tears. “There is no convincing reason to prevent a person from contacting his or her family,” he said. Emphasizing on the sufferings of families of MEK members, he asked ASILA authorities to aid families contact their loved ones in the MEK’s camp in Albania.
Another sister spoke of the grieves of her family in the absence of Houshang Goudarzi who was an army soldier in the Iran-Iraq war and was deceived by the MEK recruiters when he was a POW in Iraqi camps. “I don’t know how the MEK agents deceived my young brother. We have been awaiting his return for 32 years,” she said.
The Albanian head of ASILA Dashamir Mersuli who is the advocate of the Iranians living in Alibania, also addressed the Iranian families in the room, expressing hope for the release of their loved ones who are taken as hostages in the MEK. “I love Iranians,” he said. “I hope that everything will go right for both defectors of the group and those who are in the group but are willing to depart. I understand the problem. It is a complicated problem that will be solved gradually.”

Families of Alireza Arjmandi, Zahra Qasemi and Mohsen Shojai asked about the conditions of their loved ones. Rahman Mohammadian, former member of the MEK and a current member of ASILA informed the families about their loved ones as far as he knew. “We see them in the streets of Tirana from time to time but they cannot get close to us. We just wave secretly to them. They are always under the supervision of their commanders and if they communicate with us, they will be interrogated by their commanders in the group. We don’t want them to get into trouble so we do not go near when we see them in the streets.”

The authorities of ASILA and Nejat Society office in Lorestan expressed their commitment to support families in order to pave their way to contact their beloveds in the Cult of Rajavi.

Referring to the Camp Ashraf 3 residents, Thanasi said:” there is hope. There is an alternative for these inmates. The alternative is to have a normal life in Tirana.
He reiterated that the new legislation helps these people from Hassan Heirani to the last inmate of Ashraf 3 to find a job in Albania.

Referring to the harsh conditions of living in the closed camp of the MEK, Thanasi said to the families that we should help the MEK members to release themselves, otherwise the alternative for them would be to stay at Ashraf and die because of Covid 19. “I have published a lot of photos of graves of the people died in Ashraf Camp because of lack of medical helps.”

Thanks to Mr. Khosropour and Mr. Moradi of the Nejat Society office in the Province of Lorestan, who have worked hard over the years. They have guided and have helped the families to follow their children’s case.

The father of Ali Askar Jafarpour

I support the complaints of 42 former MEK members against the MEK leaders.

We have been requesting to meet with our children for years. But unfortunately, the MEK has deprived us of this meeting.

I thank God for the return of this number of separated members and I hope that they will be able to make a living in Iran without any problems.

I thank you all for your efforts.

Mr. Ali Akbar Khatibi, brother of Mohammad Khatibi

I am Khatibi. Greetings to all the friends and those who really work hard in this way. Especially the Lorestan Province Nejat Society, and Mr. Moradi and Mr. Khosropour, for whom I am very grateful.

I ask for those loved ones who have separated from the Rajavi Cult, salaries be considered in order to help them financially. God willing, there would be a way for us to go to Albania and have a meeting with our loved ones for even a few minutes, I do not mention a few days, and to be able to find out about their health, both physically and mentally. Because we are really disconnected from them and we cannot contact them in any way. We would just like to have a meeting where we can be informed about the health of our loved ones.

In the name of God. Greetings to all the loved ones and activists of the Nejat Society, especially the activists of the Lorestan branch. My request is similar to those of my dear brothers and our noble sister (sister of Aziz Kakavand and Mr. Khatibi).

Mr. Faraji, brother of Abbas and Asghar Faraji, members of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization

Our request is that the complaints be dealt with and that, God willing, they arrange for us to have a meeting with our loved ones, which is the least we can expect from the International Court in The Hague.

Insha’Allah, the authorities should review the demands, and we should be able to meet them as we did once or twice in Iraq in the past, and we can fulfill our smallest rights and examine the complaints of the loved ones who returned home and their rights and youth were really lost.

The complaints of these individuals should be seen and dealt with.
Thank you

Brother of Hussein Nematollahi

Greetings to the friends and companions. Greetings to all. I am very pleased with this act. Thank you all. Mr. Momenzadeh, Mr. Mahmoud Dashtestani and others.

I am Ahmad Nematollahi, the brother of Hossein Nematollahi, a 42-year-old prisoner of war who spent 10 years in Saddam Hussein’s prison. Later in 1989, they deceived them into the MEK. There are many like them who went there and stayed. Many friends have left now, but he still remains. Many are still there.
We wrote, signed and sent many petitions to the International Court in The Hague. We also requested a meeting in Iraq, but we did not succeed.

We wanted to meet them in Albania, where we were also denied. The Rajavi Cult, which I do not know who is supporting it at the moment, does not allow us to visit our loved ones.
Oppressed families and parents suffer a lot. We can tolerate more, but most of the parents are suffering and they cannot tolerate this. They are longing for a visit. We expect the international organizations to get involved to help us and arrange for a meeting. I have no more to say.

nephew of Mahmoud Talebi, a member of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization

In the name of God. I am Saeedeh Talebi Mian Deh, nephew of Mr. Mahmoud Talebi. My uncle was captured during the Iran-Iraq war and transferred to the Mosul camp. There, he was deceitfully taken by the MEK to Camp Ashraf without informing anyone.

Then we found out that he is in Camp Ashraf. We went to Ashraf garrison but we were not allowed to visit him. They did not allow us to visit anyone at Camp Ashraf or at Camp Liberty.

We wrote to the United Nations several times so that we could meet with him. But there was no answer for us. We continue to pursue the freedom of our uncle and we will not give up our efforts and complaints. We support the complaint lodged with the International Court of Justice in The Hague.
