Personal Rights of Members in the MEK

Iran Women Association took action to denounce Rajavi

Members of Iran Zanan Association took action to denounce leaders of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization in Koln, Germany.

On Sunday November 7th, 2015 these former female members of the MKO took an action in front of Dame Church in down town, Koln.

Ms. Batoul Soltani, Ms. Zahra Moini and Ms. Homeira Mohammad Nezhad condemned the deadly attack on Camp Liberty residents in Iraq. They condemned the leaders of the Cult for negligence to take proper actions to relocate the residents of the camp in a safe place.

They called on international community to engage for the immediate relocation of the residents. Former members of the cult of Rajavi asked the UN, Red Cross and other human rights bodies to put pressure on the leadership of the group to get engaged for the release of the residents who have been taken as hostages.

While the three female ex-members of the Cult of Rajavi could gain the attention of Koln citizens, a few agents of the cult tried to launch an organized propaganda to whitewash the leaders of the group and to distract public opinion from the main culpable of the incident.

By the way, the action lasted for hours. Attendees handed out brochures on the true nature of the MKO that was welcomed by citizens.

Former members of the MEK

Human Rights activists to denounce the Cult of Rajavi

Human Rights activists held a rally in front of the European Parliament in Brussels to denounce the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO). Honoring the World Day against Death Penalty, the participants of the rally who all used to be high ranking members of the MKO, carried pictures and placards to reveal the true face of the group.

These former members of the MKO were representatives of certain human rights bodies including “Zanan Iran” ,” Iran Fanus”,”Pen Association” and “Aawa Association”. They tried to draw the attention of people to their cause by asking questions on the MKO and its leaders Maryam and Massoud Rajavi. So people got eager to know more about the action; they were provided with brochures and pictures.

The activists stated that Massoud Rajavi officially issued death sentence under the title “Revolutionary Execution” for a large number of civilians and officials.

In a report on the above-mentioned action, Pen Association asserts,”If governments are charged with elimination of death penalty , their so-called “Opposition” must care much more about it . However, in the history of the MKO there are hundreds of cases of human rights abuse. The MKO leaders even threaten their critics and their dissident members to death. Some of the group’s members were sentenced to death after being tortured in solitary confinement in Camp Ashraf.”

Today, with the failure of the MKO propaganda following the nuclear deal reached between Iran and the P5+1, the Cult of Rajavi is seeking another ray of hope to resort to. “Politically and strategically isolated, the only way left to the Rajavis is to officially denounce violence and armed struggle,” suggests Pen Association.

Massoud Rajavi

MKO leader threaten members to death penalty

On the occasion of October 10th, World Day Against Death Penalty , the Mujahedin Khalq Organization’s propaganda arm, holds an alleged conference in Paris where its leader Maryam Rajavi claimed,” Our plan is an Iran without the death penalty”(!)

Meanwhile, a number of defectors of the MKO hold rallies, take actions and issue statements to denounce Rajavi’s claims. Besides, some of the former members posted their experiences and memoirs of Massoud and Maryam Rajavi as cult leaders who threaten their rank and file to death penalty.

Foad Basri is a defector of the MKO cult who hasn’t given up condemning the cult leaders in social networks. This is his Facebook status on October 11th, 2015:

“A video on the MKO website titled:” Tomorrow without Death Penalty” called a memory to my mind. I remember a meeting in Baharestan hall in Baghdad [when he was a member of the MKO]. Massoud Rajavi was walking on the stage, smoking a cigarette, when he said,”Anyone who wants to leave us, I mean in Baghdad, I myself issue his death sentence. In Iraq, we can do everything but unfortunately we cannot afford it, abroad. I allocate a place in [camp] Ashraf and I personally execute the mercenary renegades so that you do not think I’m kidding.” (!)

Maryam Rajavi

Maryam Rajavi’s crocodile tears over human rights

‘Who could hang a saint?’ – Maryam Rajavi’s crocodile tears over human rights

Human Rights advocacy is a laudable activity. Advocates automatically occupy the high moral ground in pursuit of their goals – and this of course reflects on their status. But as with everything we must examine their underlying motives before we accept at face value the posturing of every Tom, Dick and Harry who jumps on the bandwagon of human rights. Above all, we must examine the person before we listen to their inviolable message.

In reaction to the ‘World Day Against the Death Penalty (October 10), notorious cult leader Maryam Rajavi will use the occasion to announce to a specially assembled audience that she is against the death penalty.

That will be news indeed to the thousands of former members and indeed the current members of the notorious terrorist Mojahedin Khalq cult which she leads. Maryam Rajavi’s MEK has not only killed over 12,000 Iranians and 25,000 Iraqis as part of its violent regime change agenda, but inside the group, Rajavi has been personally responsible for the extra-judicial murder and torture of countless members behind the closed doors of the cult.

So, what could be behind this dramatic volte-face? Has Rajavi really undergone a unique transformation of belief and if so, is she sincerely contrite for all the deaths she is personally responsible for within the Mojahedin Khalq? Does she regret her past? Will she now apologise to the thousands of former members of her organisation who are victims of heinous human rights abuses for which she and her husband are culpable?

For various reasons this is impossible. Not least because as the leader of a mind control cult such an admission of guilt would undermine the whole foundation of her organisation and throw the remaining vulnerable brainwashed members onto the path of a mental breakdown.

Or is this, as we have every reason to believe, a politically motivated fake stance brought about by panic and despair, just as once the MEK’s manufactured nuclear intelligence bought them artificial status brought about by opportunism. Since July, the negotiated Iran nuclear agreement has irrevocably changed the political landscape. The MEK are no longer needed or wanted beyond backing up the efforts of a few regime change pundits clinging to the past.

And of course, Maryam Rajavi is acutely aware of the fate of her benefactor Saddam Hussein. When he was no longer needed, his former allies handed him over to the Iraqi people for judgement and punishment. He was, as we all know, hanged.

So, Maryam’s Rajavi’s sudden and specific and uncharacteristic condemnation of the death penalty should be judged in this context. Her underlying message to her sponsors is, ‘who could hang a saint?’

Mujahedin Khalq Organization's Propaganda System

Speaking of human Rights, Paradox of the Cult of Rajavi

As soon as her supervisors turned their back, she opened the door next to the doctor’s room and ran through the long corridor. At the end of the corridor, there was another door opening to a hall where she rushed to a window. She was lucky that there was no bars on the window so she could squeeze through the window. She breathlessly ran again and again until she reached Iraqi forces guarding Camp Ashraf.

Zahra Mirbagheri, former member of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization ( the MKO) left three sisters and a brother in Camp Ashraf after she was fed up with mental and physical tortures under the oppressive mind control system of the Cult of Rajavi ( the MKO).

She is now married in Iran but looking forward to the releasing of her siblings who are still taken as hostages by the MKO authorities. According to Zahra’s testimony, they had no family relationship in the Camp Ashraf due to the strictly scheduled and emotionless life in the MKO cult in which no one is allowed to think of love, family and friends. Zahra and her mother are waiting for their loved ones and hoping that they find their way out of the cult someday.

As a matter of fact, the rank and file of the MKO must dedicate their entire life to their leaders Massoud and Maryam Rajavi under a manipulation program that requires members to attend self-criticism meetings and to undertake cult jargons every day.

Zahra and her family are a few of thousands of the MKO’s victims. Finian Cunningham, a prominent expert in international affairs opens his latest article on the US sponsored MKO terrorists, with the bitter story of another victim of the MKO: Masoumeh. She was only six years old when MKO gunmen shoot her family members dead at home. “Masoumeh and other children in the house were spared in the massacre,” Cunningham writes. “But everyday of her life ever since that horror, she lives with the nightmare encountered that morning when she woke as a young girl.”[1]

“My mother was innocent,” she recounts with an abiding, heartrending disbelief that her beloved was so cruelly torn from her life. [2]

There are a lot of more families who were torn by the MKO either in its terror acts or as a result of the cult-like despotic approach by its leaders. By contrast, today Maryam Rajavi who speaks under the so-called title of “president-elect”, boasts of human rights and democracy that she could bring to the Iranian people.

Over a decade the MKO’s misinformation campaign tried to mislead the West about the Iranian nuclear program. However, the nuclear deal was finally reached between the West and Iran.

Defeated tactic pushed the MKO to take the next step. They took action to bold a new propaganda: human rights in Iran. Maryam Rajavi orders the West to empower her cult as dissidents of the Islamic Republic –perhaps like what happened in Syria and Iraq. She accuses Islamic Republic of launching “a war against its own people” by “executions, imprisonments, intimidation and repression.”

Maryam Rajavi claims that her cult can fulfill the desire of the Iranian people for democratic change while Iranian victims of the MKO mount to thousands of people who never forget the group’s atrocities against its own people. The MKO, as Fininnan Cunningham describes, is the most notorious group that has devastated Iranian families by acts of terrorism. [3]

Caleb Maupin, American journalist exposes the MKO as “a group of fanatics” who “has killed tens of thousands of innocent people since the Iranian revolution in 1979”. [4]

He states that the MKO turned into a destructive abusive cult after it was sided with Saddam Hussein against its own countrymen. “Hossein forces air-dropped bands of MEK fighters into Iran where, as the self-named “Iranian National Liberation Army”, writes Maupin.[5]

He mentions the MKO’s role in Iraq, as Saddam Hussein’s “personal goon squad” who slaughtered Kurds of Iraq. Thus, he ironically puts the subtitle “Mass murderers as Human Rights Activists” who chant slogans of democracy and human rights.[6]

The MKO agents follow Maryam Rajavi’s agenda in their recent masquerade show in front of the United Nations during its General Assembly. The few MKO agents who attended the so-called protest were “a group of elderly, agitated Persians” who tried to pass themselves off as “Human Rights Activists”. [7]

Caleb Mupin calls their show as a display of “insanity to the world by calling for greater hostility between the United States and the Islamic Republic.” Referring to the collaboration of the MKO and Mossad to kill the Iranian nuclear scientists, Maupin reveals the MKO as a supporter of Netanyahu’s Likud Party, too.

Considering the dark history of human rights abuses in the undemocratic Cult of Rajavi, Maryam Rajavi’s claim for democracy and human rights (that she promises to be fulfilled in Iran by the empowerment of the MKO) seems absolutely absurd.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization members' families

Facebook account for liberty residents! An outrageous lie

Families of the residents of Camp Liberty who had picketed behind the gate of the Camp probing the visit of their loved, did not succeed to meet them during the due time that they were allowed to picket by the UN officials. The leaders of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO) claim that all Liberty residents have Facebook accounts with real IDs !! through which they can contact their families. They labeled the families at Liberty gate as agents of the Iranian Intelligence Ministry and Quds force!

Elderly parents and siblings of the MKO hostages at Camp Liberty suffered the hot and dusty weather and dangerous situation of Iraq in the hope of visiting their loves ones but Liberty authorities did not allow any visit and even threatened that they would stop the relocation of the residents to Albania.

On one hand, leaders of the Cult of Rajavi (the MKO) claim that the entire Camp residents themselves abstain from meeting their families, on the other hand they allege that all residents have Facebook accounts to contact their families. As a matter of fact, making fake personal Facebook accounts with the identity information and photos of liberty residents is a simple tactic for the MKO propaganda to deceive the UN officials.

According to several international reports such as “No Exit” of the Human Rights Watch and the testimonies of a large number of defectors who fled the MKO, members of the group have no free access to the free media. They are allowed to watch the MKO’s satellite channel and a few recorded news reports filtered by the authorities of the camp .They assess the presence of families at the gates of Camp Ashraf as a serious motive to push them to escape the cult, Massoud and Maryam Rajavi fear families as a powerful lever that might influence many other members of the cult of Rajavi to liberate themselves.

The claims and threats made by the MKO authorities indicate that the MKO is definitely a destructive mind control cult that takes its members as hostages under a horrific manipulative system. Social networks including Facebook is an unknown phenomenon for a lot of the Camp residents. Given that they have access to social networks, it sounds weird that they prefer it to a face to face visit with their families who are just a hundred meters away from them.

Family members of Camp Liberty residents appeal for help from Baghdad

24 Iranians who have travelled from Khorasan Razavi, Khuzestan and Yazd provinces have just arrived in Baghdad. They will visit Camp Liberty tomorrow where they hope to make contact with their loved ones.

These are family members of individuals in the camp and have become concerned about reports that their loved ones may be transferred to Albania without notice and wish to be able to see them.

They stress that they have no political agenda and only wish to make family visits.

They are not for or against anybody and don’t wish to persuade their loved ones in any way, only to meet with them. The family members appeal to anybody, including the MEK’s supporters, to help facilitate these meetings, after which they will return home.

Albania

The MKO Cult strive to survive in Tirana

Following the relocation of residents of Camp Liberty, Iraq in Tirana, Albania, the relocated members of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO) find it less difficult to leave the cult-like atmosphere of the group. Thus, leaders of the Cult of Rajavi take action to prevent them from defecting.

Mr. Ebrahim Khodabandeh , former member of the MKO and an expert on destructive cults is writing a series of articles about what is going on inside the MKO based on emails he receives from group members who are willing to leave the cult but they cannot manage due to severe pressure they are exposed to. Khodabandeh’s last post includes crucial points about the new agenda of the Cult of Rajavi in Albania.

He states that the group leaders have to focus on members in Tirana base because they mostly include those who has criticized the group’s acts and the leaders’ decisions; they have asked to leave the group. The MKO leaders see dissident members as creditors who have a claim.

According to Mr. Khodabandeh’s information, the MKO has bought a campus called Vitrina in Albanian capital in order to build another concentration camp like Ashraf. This way they can manage their mind control system much better. “Cults need an isolated place where they can cut the contacts between their followers and the outside world and they can absolutely control all aspects of a member’s life,” suggests Ebrahim Khodabandeh.

Members of the Cult of Rajavi pose questions that leaders do not like to hear. As Mr. Khodabandeh has been informed, residents in Tirana have begun questioning the million-dollar expenses of Maryam Rajavi’s meetings in Paris and expensive payments for Western speakers of the group’s propaganda shows despite urgent need of several members in Iraq for medical treatment.

“Someone has written to me that the group refuses to pay for medical treatment of an old member saying plainly that there is no money but parties and ceremonies of Maryam Rajavi is held non-stop,” Mr. Khodabandeh writes.

Criticism against the system and its leader has turned into a crisis in Albania to the extent that Maryam Rajavi was forced to hold a video conference for members accusing them of being rude, according to the article.

Thus, process of defection from the MKO has been accelerated in Tirana. However, leaders of the cult are endeavoring to keep the cult-like system of manipulation and indoctrination in Tirana as they had kept in Camp Liberty and Camp Ashraf, Iraq. They have enhanced their mind control cult jargons. Self-criticism sessions are held under various titles in the cult’s base in Albania. These sessions are aimed to deviate the members’ minds from the controversial situation the group is stuck in.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization members' families

My sister Somayeh forced to swear at her family on Rajavi cult’s TV

Mustafa Mohammady and his youngest daughter were attacked on June 12, 2015 by more than a dozen associates of Mojahedin Khalgh MEK. Mohammady brutally beaten, with kicks and punches sending Mustafa to the floor. Soon after they realize his young daughter is taking a film of them recording their coward and criminal violent acts they ran to her and started attacking, and trying to confiscate her camera. She was brutally attacked and pushed to the floor. These violent acts are just a few in many.

These are the actions of group who the French government are housing and protecting. This is group known as Mojahedin-E-Khalq, which are supposed to be a rebel organization for the freedom of Iranians in Iran, have attacked a father and his daughter who only intentions are to free his eldest daughter, Somayeh, from Iraq. These deceitful, violent and cruel cult members beat and prey on the innocent who have just been begging to reunite their family.

This was not the mistake of a few, but of many. The innocent minded people who were ideology deceived to support a terrorist group know as Mojahedin Khalgh MEK. The mistake in believing that this group is stands for peace and freedom, which started way before the revolution Iran, but turned out to be a terrorizing manipulative cult. The many innocent lives of families who suffered by the acts of this cults selfish beliefs.

We were one of those families. We lost our uncle and aunt, (Hadi, Hurieh) who we loved dearly. They died believing in this group, who we thought were just, but in time we have realized that this group, and the violence they cause, are a terrorist group. We are looking to free our sister from this dangerous, and deceiving group who brain wash their members in believing in false ideology through constant lies, and physical and mental torture.

This group exist through political bribery and financial advantages. They have millions of euros and dollars through investments in many regions of the world. They continue investing in their thrust for power and control. They pursue their goal through any means. Thats why this group is very dangerous. No one would know what their next actions would be, either through constant protests or violence.

On the MEK television channel for the whole day they broadcast Somayeh Mohammady to lie on camera. They want to present lies through rehearsed mental torture. They present a show on their tv channel crafted to brain wash more people. Any experienced psychologist can read Somayeh condition. Somayeh Mohammady has gone through to many, its time to end these lies.

And now our sole concern is Somayeh’s well being. We need your help in freeing the Somayeh’ in the grasp of MEK.

The cult of Rajavi

Victims of the MKO Need Help

Mostafa was visiting the headquarters of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO) in Auvers sur d’Oise, Paris when he was beaten up by some of the thugs of the group. He was violently encountered because he was asking the group leader to allow him to meet with his daughter Somayeh. After travelling to the group’s camp in Iraq for several times, Mostafa, finally took his case to the group leader, Maryam Rajavi. Due to severe beating Mostafa was hospitalized overnight. He was accompanied with his other daughter Hooriyeh who was also injured by the MKO agents in Auver.

Somayeh is an example of many people captured in the cult of Rajavi (the MKO), separated from family, friends and society. “Family Survival Trust” that is a foundation formed by volunteers who are concerned for people, families, communities and societies who are abused by totalitarian cults. Some of the members of this foundation are volunteers whose children, parents, siblings, friends or colleagues were recruited by cults. Their task is very similar to ours at Nejat NGO that is specifically focused on the salvation of the victims of the MKO cult.

This article refers to Family Survival Trust as a reliable and informed source on the cults since they professionally deal with a large number of case studies being abused by different cults. FST’s website proposes, “What damaging cults have in common is their vindictive abusiveness and their dissociative totalitarianism”.

The above mentioned fact about destructive cults is definitely witnessed by a large number of members of the MKO (the Cult of Rajavi).

Ghorban Ali Hossein Nezhad is a former high-ranking member and interpreter of the group. He also has a daughter taken as a hostage in the MKO’s Camp Liberty, Iraq. As a disassociated member, he is not allowed to meet with his daughter Zeinab by the group leaders. “Cults are dissociative, separating members from families, friends and colleagues,” FST proposes.

The horrifying events that are happening inside the cults are the main reasons that the cults’ leaders are able to keep members out of reach for a long time. Ebrahim Khodabande, a former member of the MKO and cult expert describes how a cult victim is indoctrinated by the cult system:

“Cults have no unchangeable principal; they have only one fixed principal and that is: Everything must go around the leader’s interests and will. Maryam Rajavi told us:” You are not good enough unless you recognize Massoud’s interests and will and then you try to fulfill them”.

According to FST, Cults recruit members by various forms of enticement or deception, demanding total submission and adoption of the ideas by members. Free thinking is not allowed.

Khodabandeh’s testimony absolutely confirms the above characteristics of cults: “In cults, lying and deceiving is formulated and indoctrinated by the system. Everything is based on lie and deception. The hierarchy tells lies from top to bottom.”

He admits that he was deceived and then was recruited by the MKO. ”Then I was brainwashed under the mind-control system and I was manipulated to tell lies about the group’s cause as if it was a secular pro-western organization,” he says.

The MKO’s pro-West and pro-democracy gesture has an external function for the leaders. This way they can gain the support of western politicians, particularly Zionist warmongers of the US Congress. ”At the same time, to gain acceptance from wider society, cults lobby politicians and the public, using the same ideas of freedom of expression which they deny their members,” FST states.

In contrast with the MKO’s slogans for human rights and democracy, the Human Rights Watch report titled “No Exit” offers testimonies of numerous cases of human rights violations committed in the Cult of Rajavi. Besides, there are a lot more interviews and memoires of ex-members of the group who were victims of its cult-like structure (most of them are available at Nejat NGO website).

“Cults tend to be psychologically manipulative or abusive in order to exploit and control members commercially or sexually,” according to the FST’s description of cults. ”Some cults can also be physically abusive”. The No Exit report confirms that members of the Cult of Rajavi are mentally and physically tortured and at least in one case a man named Parvis Ahmadi was killed under torture in the group’s jail in Camp Ashraf. Parvis’s case was approved by some other defectors of the group.

Furthermore, as FST proposes, cults are abundant and deceptive and the reason for concern is clear. “The separation from loved ones, whose personalities may become unrecognisable after cultic recruitment, causes a great deal of grief and upset to families and friends,” the website says. “Seeing changes in, or hearing of the abuse suffered by, cult victims – or sometimes having to deal with an individual’s disappearance – can cause a great deal of stress, anger and upset in the home.”

The common grief of the two fathers Hossein nezhad and Mohhammadi made them to take an action near the MKO’s headquarters in Auver Sur D’Oise, Paris. They tried to inform citizens of Auver Sur d’Oise about the violent, cult-like nature of the MKO. They distributed flyers, brochure, images and CDs to inform the citizens that the cult has kidnapped their daughters.

Khodabandeh believes that it is essential for the family of the victims to be involved in order to speed up the process of liberation. He suggests that the salvation of the MKO hostages is possible if they are supported from outside of the cult, such as the family members and other philanthropists. “That’s why the cult leaders forbid and control any contact with families,” he says. All cult victims need help, no matter how they have been involved or harmed, according to FST.
