Rajavis and Cult Leadership

Mujahedin Khalq Organization members' families

Rajavi is not their representative, he is the problem

Open letter of SFF to UN envoy to Iraq Martin Kobler

Mr Martin Kobler, Special Representative of the UN General Secretary for Iraq and Head of the Rajavi is not their representative, he is the problem United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI), reported some facts during the session of the UN Security Council regarding MKO obstructing the evacuation of Ashraf garrison which must be handed over to the government of Iraq. Apparently this report did not please Massoud Rajavi and consequently the so called National Council of Resistance issued a statement and indicated some accusations against Mr. Kobler and the Government of Iraqi.

Mr Kobler advised the UNSC that the patience of the GOI is reaching to its limit and they have every right to impose their rule over their sovereignty and they can no longer close their eyes to the fact that the group is breaking national and international laws and is not cooperating.

Sahar Family Foundation has written a letter to Mr. Kobler regarding the MKO statement which comes below to explain some facts:

United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI)
Dear Martin Kobler

Immediately following your report to the UN Security Council, the MEK issued a statement on 21 July 2012. You had explained that the MEK was obstructing the evacuation of Camp Ashraf which should have been handed over to the Government of Iraq by 20 July. You advised the UNSC that the patience of the GOI is reaching its limit and they have every right to impose Iraqi sovereignty over the camp and they can no longer be expected to close their eyes to the fact that the MEK is breaking national and international law by not cooperating.

The MEK statement claims that “Martin Kobler’s report to the UNSC against the Mojahedin of Ashraf is at the disposal of violence and suppression” and has accused the GOI of being responsible for the deadlock in the procedure of the evacuation of Ashraf garrison.

Everyone knows and everyone except those who have some interests with the cult admits that no one except Rajavi desires violence and suppression and it has been clearly demonstrated that Rajavi is doing his best to lead the situation towards violent clashes. He wants to pretend that the MEK is being suppressed and then try to find excuses to keep Ashraf.

As you have emphasized in your report, at the moment UNAMI and the GOI have no direct and systematic contact with the inhabitants of Liberty and Ashraf. The leaders of the cult claim that the GOI has not fulfilled its commitments. But first the GOI has no duty toward those who have cooperated with Saddam Hussein in creating massacres in Iraq and second as far as the individual residents are concerned the maximum medical and welfare facilities have been provided for them. Rajavi insists that all the necessities be given only to him – as was the deal under Saddam Hussein – and that he not be obliged to give anything to the residents but keep these necessities for himself and his close aides.

The most amazing argument that Rajavi makes is that he claims Liberty is like a prison. According to all those who managed to escape from the cult, Ashraf garrison is the most notorious prison in the world since the prisoners have not been allowed any sort of contact with the outside world, even their families, for decades. This is the case in Camp Liberty as well and Rajavi’s loyalists there impose all kinds of artificial boundaries on the inhabitants.

Rajavi has proven so far that he does not understand the language of kindness and tolerance and of course tries to incite the Iraqis into violent clashes and get more people killed to feed his propaganda machine. His act is like someone who puts his foot against the door of your house and doesn’t let you close it and if you try to push, he cries that you are hurting his foot.

The truth is that Massoud Rajavi still insists that only he can talk on behalf of all the MEK victims and hostages. Yet, all those who managed to escape from both Ashraf and Liberty admit that they had no idea about the outside world and they were afraid of everything outside the organization and so accepted every possible risk when they decided to flee. They all share the same belief that if enough and correct information be given to the members of the MEK in Iraq, they will surely have maximum cooperation with both the UNAMI and the GOI.

The Sahar Family Foundation once again stresses its principal request – which only Rajavi is refusing. All the victims and hostages both in Ashraf and in Liberty must have the right to visit their suffering families freely and independently. So long as this important matter has not happened, Rajavi is able to demand his ransom for the hostages and will not give in.

Maryam Rajavi, Leader of MKO Cult Is Lying

Open letter of Mr. Karim Gholami to Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton

I ,as one of the former officials and authorities of the people’s mujahedin organization of Iran who Karim Gholami have 25 years record of heavy injuries in this organization and for more than 24 years I have been forcibly using the wheelchair , would like to draw your attention to the situation of the patients as well as injured people in this organization , because recently , Maryam Rajavi and the people’s mujahedin organization by announcements and attending to the security officials of the camp Liberty and by creating different pretexts and excuses like building roads for the patients and injured people and the ridiculous plan of planting trees , are looking for creating more excuses to buy time to convert the Liberty camp to a new Ashraf camp. Truly , you specified a deadline for the closure and evacuation of Ashraf camp because according to the leaders of the people’s mujahedin organization ¨any logic word and cooperation is a sign of weakness¨ for that reason , they do not cooperate by no means , the only logic that the leaders of this organization understand is the language of power.
Becoming more informed about the situation of the captives specially the patients and the injured people in people’s mujahedin organization , I would like to draw your attention to the following topics :

1. The people’s mujahedin organization is a cultic organization which its members do not have any option and authority to make decision . the Iranian people who are captive in this organization , have been deprived of having any access to the media and the press for many years. The members of this organization have been deprived of having any access to the preliminary facilities like Radio , Television , Telephone, Internet, and newspaper . the news which is given to these members , are all censored and chosen by the cult leadership ,for this reason the members of this cult do not have any knowledge about their rights and international laws to decide deliberately and freely .

2. The leaders of this cult by political strangulation and severe suppression inside of the organization and by insult and threat against all the separated members has created severe fear inside the organization so the members of the cult ,by the fear of the separating punishment , do not dare to leave the organization. the members who want to separate will be confronted with the severe punishments like holding the brainwashing sessions for them and beating them up in those sessions and in continuation ,prison and torture and even in some cases the dissidents were disappeared and executed .

3. This cult brainwashes its members by different methods . one of these methods is the long brainwashing sessions . this cult during many years and by repetitive sessions has filled its members’ brains with lots of lies and rumors , the lies like this ¨any person who separate from the organization , he or she will be followed and chased by the Iranian intelligence service as well as the Iraqi government and will be incarcerated, tortured , and executed , for this reason the members of this cult because of their fear for their lives , do not dare to leave this cult .

4. From 2003 to 2009 the Ashraf camp was under the supervision and control of the American army and they were helping them by giving medication, medical facilities and fuel and foodstuff, but none of those items mentioned above reached to the hands of the members of this cult . those items either were sold in the Iraq black market or was in monopolization of the cult leaders. For instance I programmed a database for the Ashraf garrison’s pharmacy . during one year I was supposed to work on this database in the mentioned pharmacy . I witnessed many times that the big boxes in 2-cubic meter full of medicine and medication were delivered to this pharmacy by the US army , but during all these years I had not seen any of those medicines and medications in the hands of the members of this cult and the leaders of this cult were telling to their sick members that ¨the Iraqi government does not allow us to receive those medicines and medications and for that reason we do not have any medicine to give you !¨

5. The death of the patients and the wounded of this cult as a result of the lack of treatment : I would like to draw your attention to the health situation of the two of my friends , the first one Mr. Abbas Haj Husseini who in one of the cult military operations in 1988 got wounded by a bullet in his Cervical Spinal Cord and he got paralyzed , Abbas always wanted to go to Europe to be treated and cured but the leaders of this cult not only did not pay attention to his request , but also as I saw twice he was threatened by the leader of this cult ,Massoud Rajavi , to be handed over to the Iranian government. The first time was in 1995 and the second time was in 2002 , but unfortunately as a result of the lack of attention and treatment , he died and was buried in pmoi cemetery called Ghatayeh Morvarid( The Pearl) in Ashraf.
My second friend , Mr. Farhad……… who in one of the pmoi military operations in 1986 got wounded by a bullet in his Lumbar Spinal Cord and he got paralyzed . Farhad always wanted to leave this cult but the leaders of this cult rejected his request every time and finally in 2008 as a result of the foot bone fracture and the lack of treatment ,his foot got infected and he died.

6. In all the announcements ,the pmoi leaders have claimed that their members are forced to evacuate their properties in the hot weather of Iraq by their hands and they have requested the appropriate tools such as lift-truck and……etc ,all those requests are just excuses and pretexts, because you do not see any lift-truck in Ashraf camp , the members of this cult were moving the goods and heavy stuffs by their hands for years. Under the hot weather of Iraq , the members of this cult had to work all day long ,and even the patients were not allowed to rest and each person had to work 18 hours a day . one of the forced labors was making the containers . working inside those containers which were made of metal during the hot summers of Iraq , was like working in the hell itself. The leaders of this cult do not care and do not pay attention to the well being and the health of their members specially the patients and injured by no means ,and the only thing which is important for them is to keep this cult alive as long as possible ,and convert the liberty camp to another prison like Ashraf .

According to the facts mentioned above , I am urging you to pay special attention to those patients and wounded ,and their juridical situation be prioritized ,so they can be able to have access to the doctor and medicine as soon as possible to prevent the death of many more.
The liberty camp is a temporary transit location and the people who are residing in there are not supposed to stay there for ever so planting trees , making new buildings ,and tools and the machinery requests are just to postpone the dismantling of this cult . I am urging you not to retreat vis a vis the pressures of the mujahedin’s leaders and put them under severe pressures to dismantle this retarded and religious cult , mujahidin organization, as soon as possible and for ever.
To help these people , first you should take them out of the cult perimeter ,so they can meet their medical needs and get familiar with their rights to make a decision for their future and life freely and consciously . in this regard I am ready to cooperate with you voluntarily and even, if it is necessary , I am ready to go to Iraq to help those people .

Respectfully
Karim Gholami, Iran Pen Association, Germay,

Massoud Rajavi

MKO leader Massoud Rajavi sending mixed messages

You would imagine that, when offered a (now retracted) deal like that from Hillary Clinton – give up Camp Ashraf to give us some grounds to take you off the US terror list – bearing in mind the MKO leader Massoud Rajavi sending mixed messages concomitant Patriot Act funding that would surely follow – Massoud Rajavi would grab it with both hands, vacate the camp and make plans to move his army to a similar camp in another country neighbouring Iran.

Instead, Rajavi, ungrateful cur that he is, has again completely misread the situation and lost the only opportunity he had of redeeming his organisation and giving it a future. His infantile inability to give up what he holds in his hand on the promise of some greater gift held out to him is reminiscent of his reaction during the first Gulf War when he ignored covert attempts by the West to get him to leave Iraq and disassociate from Saddam Hussein’s regime. Instead, Rajavi stayed put and stained the MEK forever with the massacre of thousands of Kurdish and Shiite civilians in an effort to sustain his benefactor in power.

Blinded and dazzled by the smoke and mirrors of his own deceptive tricks, Rajavi simply cannot see what to the rest of the world is completely obvious. Now he has not only bitten the hand that could have fed him, but has gnawed and gnarled it to the point of leaving top US diplomat Daniel Fried reportedly “furious”. Perhaps he has spent so long sitting in his bunker in Camp Ashraf peering out at ants and lizards that he could not see the big picture, which was the rescue and resurrection of the MEK by Western power brokers, and has instead held out for some petty deals to do with the transfer of air-conditioning units and personal cars and planting trees at a temporary camp.

We know that his aim is to stay in Iraq as long as possible in the hope a new dawn will arise and the MEK will carry on as before. But we also know this is impossible and that the unspoken offer of a move to another country was his best, now missed, opportunity.

What Rajavi doesn’t appear to understand is that what he must think is his brilliant and sophisticated trick to save his cult is risibly exposed by its own stupidity.

Does it not occur to Rajavi at all that everyone else can see the totally bizarre and unhelpful contradictions in the campaign messages he has lodged in the three countries where his fate is being decided. Has he not heard of the internet or media scrutiny, or simple critical thinking?

In Iraq Rajavi has told his followers that when they arrive in Camp Liberty and they are taken for the UNHCR refugee determination interviews – in which they are alone with no MEK oversight – they must refuse to disavow their MEK membership otherwise the UN will send them out of Iraq where they will be hunted down by the Iranian regime and killed. As a result only a small number of those transferred to Camp Liberty have allowed themselves to be eligible for refugee status by renouncing their membership of the MEK.

Regardless of the motive, Rajavi’s message in Iraq is clear: ‘the MEK is an illegal but fully trained paramilitary (terrorist) group which must stay intact in order to continue its aim to violently overthrow the ruling system in Iran’.

In America however, the completely opposite message is being rolled out in a massively funded propaganda campaign which aims to convince the State Department, on no evidence except repeated lies, that the MEK has never been a terrorist entity, that the six Americans killed in Iran in the 1970s were killed by an offshoot of the real MEK, and the subsequent deaths of 16,000 Iranians and 25,000 Iraqis either never happened or were the work of a different MEK or was the result of legitimate freedom fighting and that the original terrorist designation in 1997 was made as a pragmatic gift to the Reformist Iranians by the Clinton administration and that the MEK’s real identity is as a democratic, feminist, popular opposition which will lead the Iranian nation in its desperate desire for regime change.

So, the message in America: ‘we have not ever been and are not now terrorists’.

Even more ludicrous then is that a third and different message is being touted in Europe.

Perhaps in anticipation of an unwanted influx of former residents of Camp Ashraf in their countries, the European Union has begun to crack down on MEK activity there. Significantly, the MEK has been evicted from its office inside the European Parliament and has had to establish lobbying offices outside the parliament for its keenest advocates, Struan Stevenson and Alejo Vidal-Quadras. Even this is not acceptable and Brussels is investigating ways to further curtail the MEK’s activities in the city. In the UK, the recent deaths of Lord Corbett and Lord Archer, ardent MEK advocates in the House of Lords, have left a huge hole in the MEK’s lobbying activities. This was reflected clearly in a spate of badly written hysterical press releases which had clearly not had the benefit even the minimum proof reading for style and logic.

Rajavi has had to seek a new narrative in Europe to confront this latest crisis, apparently forgetful or ignorant that those who don’t fall for his smoke and mirrors deception can clearly see what both his right hand and his left hand are doing when he performs his illusions.

With Lord Magginis of Drumglass a Crossbencher from Northern Ireland now advocating for the MEK in the House of Lords, Rajavi has hit upon what must have seemed to him a brilliant idea, which is to borrow from the successful transition of the IRA from terrorists to parliamentarians. Rajavi is now saying that, yes we once were terrorists (we did actually kill thousands and thousands of people), but we have renounced violence and are now peace loving democrats with a feminist face.

(He is forgetting that the IRA brokered their ceasefire and disarmament with their avowed enemy the British government. It is the British government which the IRA were fighting. In the same way, other terrorist entities, such as ETA, must declare and negotiate the terms of any ceasefire directly with their enemy, in this case the government of Spain. The MEK would find this impossible since they have not and cannot change their violent malignity toward the government and ruling system of Iran. Besides, the MEK have never announced to its own membership that it either has, or intends to, renounce violence, let alone made a public statement to this effect.)

So, in Europe the MEK’s third message is: ‘we were terrorists but we are now rehabilitated from terrorists to parliamentarians’. Is this what Maryam Rajavi means by the Third Way? Are we supposed to not notice that three different versions of the MEK identity are being promoted simultaneously in Iraq, America and Europe?

Mr. Rajavi, just because you have your head in the sand, doesn’t mean we can’t see your bottom.

MEK Camp Ashraf

New deaths in Camp Ashraf – Tragic life of MEK members

According to the MEK’s official website another member of the organization died in Camp Ashraf. The man’s name was announced as Mohammad Taataii. This is the third MEK person who has New deaths in Camp Ashraf - Tragic life of MEK members died during the past two weeks in Camp Ashraf.

Last week another MEK high ranking woman, Batoul Rajaii, lost her life in a hospital in Baghdad due to breathing problems.

In recent years a disproportionate number of MEK members have suffered from severe health problems including rare cancers and heart attacks.

The standard of life in Camp Ashraf is not comparable with any other society or group, as the MEK has isolated its members and forbids them any contact with the outside world.

MEK members also suffer from psychological and emotional problems because from the late 80s, the cult leader Massoud Rajavi ordered mass divorce for couples and since then family life in the Mojahedin’s notorious Ashraf garrison has been denied.

According to Mrs Maryam Sanjabi, a former high ranking member of the group, the women commanders received special orders from the Rajavis to force members into hard work and to keep them so busy that they have no time to think about any issue. This trick, to keep the members so busy so they would collapse every night without any opportunity to think, seems to have had some dangerous side effects and has been influential in the deaths of many MEK members despite their age.

A few months earlier another MEK member Bardia Mostoufi lost his life upon arrival at Camp Liberty. The MEK officially announced that his death came as the result of being exhausted by the process of moving out of Ashraf. The MEK writers neglected to mention the fact that a background of years of forced labor, ordered by the cult leaders Massoud and Maryam Rajavi, truly explains the tragic deaths of such victims.

Mujahedin Khalq as an Opposition Group

MKO Seeking Bloody Battle with Iraqi Forces

A defected member of the anti-Iran terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO also known as the MEK, PMOI and NCR) disclosed that the terrorist group is seeking to spark a bloody conflict with the Iraqi government’s security forces before leaving its main stronghold in Iraq, known as Defected Member: MKO Seeking Bloody Battle with Iraqi Forces Camp Ashraf.

"The MKO’s (main) ringleader, Massoud Rajavi, intends to ignore the Iraqi government’s warnings and the UN advice in a bid to pave the ground for the Iraqi government’s military reaction and use of force to misuse the resulting events," the defected member said, quoted by Habilian Association – a human rights group formed of the families of 17,000 Iranian terror victims.

Rajavi had earlier in his remarks said neglecting the Iraqi government’s ultimatum for leaving Camp Ashraf is an honor for him and his terrorist group.

The defected member said that Rajavi shows such defiance while he severely needs the blood of the Camp Ashraf residents to stabilize his conditions in Europe and attain his goals.

The MKO, whose main stronghold is in Iraq, is blacklisted by much of the international community, including the United States. Before an overture by the EU, the MKO was on the European Union’s list of terrorist organizations subject to an EU-wide assets freeze. Yet, the MKO puppet leader, Maryam Rajavi, who has residency in France, regularly visited Brussels and despite the ban enjoyed full freedom in Europe.

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).

Many of the MKO members abandoned the terrorist organization while most of those still remaining in the camp are said to be willing to quit but are under pressure and torture not to do so.
The group, founded in the 1960s, blended elements of Islamism and Stalinism and participated in the overthrow of the US-backed Shah of Iran in 1979. Ahead of the revolution, the MKO conducted attacks and assassinations against both Iranian and Western targets.

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.

The cult of Rajavi

The democracy Rajavi believes in

Democracy is a word frequently used by politicians around the world. People are constantly told The democracy Rajavi believes in that they’d better live in a democracy. Most states claim that their political system is “democratic”. Most opposition groups claim that they are struggling for democracy.

A democracy is a government by people; it is rule of the majority. Tolerance is one of the features of a democracy. Tolerance is the capacity for, or the practice of, recognizing and respecting the beliefs or practices of others. But, is anyone who chants slogans of democracy,a democrat?

The June 23 gathering of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization was allegedly called a “pro-democracy” event. The organizer of the rally said it was held “for democratic change in Iran”!
As the organizers of the event, national Council of Resistance of Iran is the propaganda arm of the MKO. Self assigned president of the NCRI, Maryam Rajavi is now running the group – which is widely known as a cult- in the absence of his disappeared husband Massoud Rajavi. Massoud went in to hiding in 2003 after the US invasion to Iraq and the fall of Iraqi dictator and also following the arrest of Maryam by French Police in June 2003. As Elizabeth Rubin of the NYTimes asserts the MKO "is something more like a husband-and wife-led cult ".[1]

On July13, 2003, Rubin published a comprehensive article on the cult-like devotion of members to the group leaders. Interviewing both advocates and opponents of the group she concludes, "It seems dangerously myopic that the US is even considering resurrecting the Rajavis and their army of Stepford wives." She writes of Iranians view on the MKO, ”those who knew and remembered the group laughed at the notion of it spearheading a democracy movement.”[2]

To clarify the type of democracy the MKO speaks of an example of their so-called pro- democracy acts should be noticed: Prior to the June23 gathering, several former members of the group staged a rally in Saint-Mitchell square in the southern suburb of Paris on Friday, June22 to voice their resentment at the terrorist activities of the MKO ,reported PressTV. The defectors rally was confronted by a number of MKO members wielding knives, snap-off blade cutters, chains and baseball bats. [3]

This undemocratic act of intolerance by MKO members was not unexpected. On June17, 2007, over 50 MKO members attacked a public meeting in Paris at which several people were injured. PressTV reported that it was later revealed that the assault had been orchestrated by top MKO leaders. [4]

This is the democracy the MKO leaders believe in. Neither respect, nor tolerance is included in their “type of democracy”.

Those Western politicians who were invited and paid by “the Organizing Committee for Convention for Democracy in Iran”(!), should watch their behavior. They badly risk their reputation by advocating for an officially terrorist designated group- under the name of democracy!

Mujahedin Khalq as an Opposition Group

MKO leaders to pay off UN staff

Rajavi’s interpreter, who has recently escaped Camp liberty (Temporary Transit Location), speaks of new dimensions of the Mujahedin Khalq’s activities including bribing the employees of MKO leaders to pay off UN staff the UN High Commission of Refugees.

Mr. Qorban Ali Hosseini Nejad was a member of the cult for thirty years. He was Massoud Rajavi’s interpreter because of his proficiency in Arabic. He also used to translate the group’s letters so he had access to a lot of secret information, reported Habilian Association.
Hossein Nejad denounces the MKO by revealing some facts: ”the MKO leaders give bribe to employees of the UNHCR in order that they ignore the group members’ requests for leaving the cult and returning to Iran! I believe that 90 percent of the MKO members both in Ashraf and Liberty want to leave the group but they do not find the opportunity to run away. Thus, if they find a secure opportunity like interviews with UN representatives, they will declare their willingness to defect the cult and to return to Iran.”

“Massoud Rajavi in an internal message told the members that everyone who wanted to leave should declare so that we would pay for all the expenses to hand him to Iraqi forces!” he added.
“Rajavi know it well that high ranking old members of the group, especially hundred of women who are in Elite Council, never dare to say that they want to go because according to the group proclaimed regulations, they are condemned to take a cyanide capsule. Once they are killed, the group will pretend that they died of disease or incidents.”

By using such tricks, Rajavi in fact wants to tell the international bodies that staying in the cult is not mandatory and members are staying there voluntarily! Besides, he wants to feel free to eliminate low-ranking members who have been in the cult at most for 10 to 12 years (Often those who were not in the cult at Saddam’s era).

The MKO defector continued pointing to the MKO’s role in riots in Syria;”A certain number of the MKO members in camp Ashraf and even in Liberty have access to computers, the Internet and telephone. They have been ordered to help riots in Syria by using the media.”

The access to the Internet is totally controlled by loyal members to Rajavi in order to prevent individuals from using the net to contact their families or get news of the outside world.

Former members of the MEK

Abdulhamid Raoufian announces his separation from the MKO

Mr. Abduhamid Raoufian, a recently defected member of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization declared his defection from the group by a letter he submitted to Sahar Family Foundation. After his release from the Cult, he found out that his family had written a lot of letters which were Abdulhamid Raoufian announces his separation from the MKO handed to the MKO by the help of red Cross but the cult hadn’t give him any of them. This caused more hatred in his heart against the Cult of Rajavi.

Mr. Raufian’s statement of declaration of separation:

I am Abdulhamid Raoufian. I was a war prisoner of Iran-Iraq war. I fell in the propaganda trap of the MKO-as it is known to every one-in 1988.

I was imprisoned in the Cult for 24 years. I always thought that I had no way back and my fate was to stay there my whole life. As I hadn’t had enough information on the Cult and its leaders, they abused my good will. My wrong choice ruined 24 of otherwise best years of my life. I had no contact with the outside world and my family.

Massoud Rajavi betrayed everything including his followers’ trust by deceiving them with his deceitful words and propaganda. We were turned into robots who were supposed to only obey the superior’s orders; to just say Rajavi was right, although we didn’t believe in him from the bottom of our heart. But, we had no way except obedience and confirmation.

To achieve what he wanted, I mean “Power”, Rajavi was prepared to do anything. He didn’t value our lives and the lives of thousands of people like us.

He was ready to victimize all of us. We were so isolated and departed that we couldn’t think of anything else in the world. Rajavi abused us to the highest level. Ultimately, I realized that the Cult deceived us and it only wanted our soles. I understood my mistake.

If, 24 years ago, I had had the information today I have about the Cult, I would have tolerated any grieves in Iraqi WOP camps and I would have never fell in the trap of the MKO’s promises.

Now, I made the right decision and I released myself from the prison of the cult. I declare my separation from the MKO. I’m glad for my choosing the right path. I feel like I regained my human identity.

I hope that my friends in the cult can also choose the right path and escape the hellish cult to freedom.

The cult of Rajavi

MKO Kills Members Intending Defection

A defected member of the anti-Iran terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO also known as the MEK, PMOI and NCR) disclosed that the terrorist group kills any member who intends to defect from the group by forcing him/her to take cyanide tablets. Maryam Sanjabi, a former ringleader of the MKO

"In 2003, a number of members announced officially and publicly that they wanted to defect from the MKO but they were killed by cyanide tablets at the direct order of Rajavi (the terrorist group’s main ringleader)," Maryam Sanjabi, a former ringleader of the MKO, told FNA on Saturday. She said that after killing the defected members, the MKO announced that they had been killed during a bombardment of Camp Ashraf, the terrorist group’s main stronghold and training center in Iraq.

Sanjabi, a highly trusted MKO veteran who used to serve the MKO ringleader, Maryam Rajavi, as her highly confided interpreter in top secret sessions with former Iraqi regime officials, said that she herself was tasked with studying their cases and, thus, holds detailed and accurate information in this regard. She mentioned that defection from the MKO was only possible during the years between 1986 to 1993, and said due to the fact that the MKO is run like a cult, no one has been allowed to defect the group from then on.

"From 1993 to 2003, the ringleaders told the members that those who intended to defect from the group, he/she should first be jailed in certain places and then be transferred to the horrendous Abu Ghraib prison," Sanjabi said.

Many former MKO members who have defected the group had also earlier revealed that the group’s ringleaders are using every means within their reach, including execution, to keep members in Camp Ashraf. The defected members revealed in 2011 that the main ringleader of the group, Maryam Rajavi, issues the execution orders personally and condemns to death all the dissidents who refrain from obeying her orders and all those who plan to defect from the MKO. According to the report, the MKO ringleaders have prevented the members of the group from meeting their relatives for the last two years in a bid to prevent their defection and escape from the camp.

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

MKO Ringleaders Order Members to Write Lies in UN Interview Papers

Leaders of the anti-Iran terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) have ordered members of the group settled temporarily in Camp Liberty [TTL]and waiting to be interviewed by the United MKO Ringleaders Order Members to Write Lies in UN Interview Papers Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to make untrue statements in their interviews in a bid to receive asylum, a defected member disclosed on Sunday.

"The MKO officials in Camp Liberty [TTL] always talked to those who were waiting for interviews to get out of the Camp and told them about the organization’s red lines and ordering them how they should behave in front of the UNHCR reporters," Majid Mohammadi said, quoted by the Persian-language Neday-e Haqiqat (the Voice of Truth) website.

"The MKO officials at Camp Liberty [TTL] always stressed in their remarks to those people who were due to be interviewed for leaving the country that they were not required to restate the reality about their membership in the MKO in the UNHCR interview papers," Mohammadi said.

Mohammadi reiterated that the MKO ringleaders told the members that if they wanted to win a UN asylum, they must have said that they have had problems with the Islamic Republic since the first day and therefore their family members and parents have been jailed by the government of Iran.

"This is the way you can win a political asylum, they told us", Mohammadi added.

A growing number of Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) members are leaving the terrorist group as MKO ringleaders are busy with a compulsory relocation from the Northern Diyala province to a Baghdad camp where they are sheltered transiently before being expelled from Iraq, recent reports said.

Some defected members of the group had earlier unveiled that MKO ringleaders are using every means within their reach, including execution, to prevent the members’ defection from the group.

The defected members revealed that the main ringleader of the group, Maryam Rajavi, issues the execution orders personally and condemns to death all the dissidents who refrain from obeying her orders and all those who plan to defect from the MKO.

According to the report, before the MKO members were sent to Camp Liberty, the ringleaders prevented the members of the group from meeting their relatives for three years in a bid to prevent their defection and escape from Camp Ashraf.

Also in March 2011, another defected member of the MKO revealed that the female members of the group have been living under captivity for more than 25 years and are not even allowed to appear in public places alone.

"It can be firmly said that 95% of the women in Ashraf Camp (the terrorist group’s resort in Iraq) have not even been allowed to step in Iraq’s public and recreational places alone all throughout the last 25 years," the defected member said.

The former member of the MKO also revealed that nearly 70% of the female members of the terrorist group are single and have not been allowed to marry anyone in or outside the group.

And only a total 10% of the married members have been allowed to have children, he added.

Many of the MKO members have abandoned the terrorist organization while most of those still remaining in Camp Ashraf or Camp Liberty [TTL] are said to be willing to quit but are under pressure and torture not to do so.

A May 2005 Human Rights Watch report accused the MKO of running prison camps in Iraq and committing human rights violations.

According to the Human Rights Watch report, the outlawed group puts defectors under torture and jail terms.

Numerous articles and letters posted on the Internet by family members of MKO recruits confirm reports of the horrific abuse that the group inflicts on its own members and the alluring recruitment methods it uses.

The most shocking of such stories includes accounts given by former British MKO member Ann Singleton and Mustafa Mohammadi – the father of an Iranian-Canadian girl who was drawn into the group during an MKO recruitment campaign in Canada.

Mohammadi recounts his desperate efforts to contact his daughter, who disappeared several years ago – a result of what the MKO called a ‘two-month tour’ of Camp Ashraf for teenagers.

He also explains how the group forces the families of its recruits to take part in pro-MKO demonstrations in Western countries by threatening to kill their loved ones.

Lacking a foothold in Iran, the terrorist group recruits ill-informed teens from Iranian immigrant communities in Western states and blocks their departure afterwards.

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

Before an overture by the EU, the MKO was on the European Union’s list of terrorist organizations subject to an EU-wide assets freeze. Yet, the MKO puppet leader, Maryam Rajavi, who has residency in France, regularly visited Brussels and despite the ban enjoyed full freedom in Europe.
