										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To:</p>
<p>United Nations Secretariat</p>
<p>European Union Human Rights Council</p>
<p>Dear Sirs,</p>
<p>We represent thousands of families who, over the past decades, have fallen victim to the inhumane actions of the &#8220;Hypocrites&#8221; group (the Mujahedin-e Khalq/MEK). Our innocent children were abducted by this group through deceit and trickery, and are now held captive in the group’s notorious prison in Albania. We submit this formal complaint to address these ongoing crimes against humanity:</p>
<ol>
<li>Human Trafficking and Character Assassination: Over the years, the children of many of families have been torn away from their loved ones by the bandit-like, deceitful operatives of the MEK and forcibly confined in their notorious, controlled prisons.</li>
<li>Illegal Detention and Unofficial Prisons: The site where captives are held in Albania has been transformed into an illegal prison where fundamental human rights, freedom of will, and the right to contact one&#8217;s family are completely denied.</li>
<li>Use of Children and Youth as Human Shields: The MKO cult separates children from their parents, subjecting them to controlled environments and both psychological and physical torture in order to exploit them as tools for its own political agenda.</li>
<li>Psychological Warfare and Emotional Torture: The attempt to sever the bond between mother and child stands as one of the darkest crimes committed by the MEK, resulting in endless and irreparable suffering for thousands of families.</li>
</ol>
<p>Documents regarding the aforementioned points:</p>
<p>We, the families impatiently awaiting the return of those held captive by the MEK cult, hereby submit the following documentation:</p>
<p>Images of families and mothers—and specifically video recordings—documenting years of sit-ins held outside the barbed-wire fences of the group&#8217;s camp in Iraq and at the Red Cross offices in Iran, as well as written, audio, and visual appeals for assistance sent to various human rights organizations.</p>
<p>We possess oral, written, and visual accounts recorded by individuals who have defected from the group, which substantiate its criminal nature.</p>
<p>Therefore, we respectfully call upon the relevant authorities to:</p>
<p>Establish an international task force to examine the legal status of our children currently held in the group&#8217;s camp in Albania.</p>
<p>Facilitate the immediate return of our kidnapped children to their families and ensure the possibility of private face to face meetings, free from coercion or interference.</p>
<p>Hold accountable those who participated in or played a role in the abduction of our innocent and oppressed children.</p>
<p>Sincerely Yours,</p>
<p>Soraya Abdollahi</p>
<p>The representative of the families awaiting the return of the captives</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Soraya Abdollahi is the mother of one of the MEK hostages. Her son Amir Aslan Hassanzadeh was recruited by the MEK agents when he was very young.</p>
<p>Ms. Abdollahi has been endeavoring to free AmirAslan from the hands of the MEK leaders, for over two decades. She has taken every kind of legal action to call on the international community for the release of their son.</p>
<p>She has met several authorities in Iran, Iraq, Europe and the United Nations. She has written so many letters to anyone who can do anything for them. She has founded an NGO called ”Mothers, Forgotten Victims”to help the voice of mothers of the MEK members to be heard. She has launched several campaigns to collect signatures to make Albanian government take action in order to help Ashraf residents choose for their fate.</p>
<div style="width: 640px;" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-16005-1" width="640" height="360" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://dlb.nejatngo.org//Media/Interview/Abdollahi-TehranTimes.mp4?_=1" /><a href="https://dlb.nejatngo.org//Media/Interview/Abdollahi-TehranTimes.mp4">https://dlb.nejatngo.org//Media/Interview/Abdollahi-TehranTimes.mp4</a></video></div>
<p>In this video, Soraya Abdollahi recounts her ordeals with her only son captivated behind the bars of Ashraf 3 in Albania:</p>
<p>Amir Aslan; you left me alone for 24 years,<br />
its been 24 years that I haven’t heard from you,<br />
I don’t know where you are,<br />
I don’t know how you live,<br />
I don’t know how can you live without me,<br />
How can a other tolerate 24 years of anxiety awaiting,<br />
How can a mother live 24 years with just pictures and memories,<br />
On what grounds?<br />
For what crime were you imprisoned?<br />
On what ground have you been imprisoned?<br />
You can’t even make a phone call,<br />
You can’t talk to me, …</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ms. Soraya Abdollahi wrote a letter to Bledi Çuçi, the text of which is as follows.</p>
<p>Honorable Minister of Interior of the Republic of Albania<br />
Your Excellency, Mr. Bledi Çuçi<br />
Greetings and respect</p>
<p>I am Soraya Abdollahi, the mother of Amir Aslan Hassanzadeh, who is a captive in the Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK) camp in Albania, and I am responsible for organizing the mothers of the Nejat Society in Iran. Mothers whose children, like my son, are trapped in the MEK camp and have nowhere to go. Mothers who are rightfully title as the &#8220;forgotten victims of the Rajavi Cult&#8221;.<br />
I and other suffering mothers whose children are in Camp Ashraf 3 in Manëz, Albania against their will, have written many times to you and other authorities of your country and we are still waiting for the response and reaction from the honorable government.</p>
<p>According to media reports, the MEK has taken nearly 2,000 of our children hostage for decades and does not allow the families to meet, make phone calls, or even exchange letters. These people have been based in Albania for almost a decade now.</p>
<p>During the past years, Rajavi&#8217;s cult has brought many of our children into the cult through illegal channels and smuggling. Many of these people had gone to Turkey, the UAE, Pakistan and other countries in search of work and a better life. They were deceived by the promise of work and residence in European countries and were forcibly brought to Iraq and inside Camp Ashraf. After that, they were subjected to a complex process of brainwashing and they were not allowed to go out and communicate with the free world, especially their family.</p>
<p>Members of the MEK, based on cultic controls, have been denied permission to communicate with the free world, form a family and living, communicate with family and friends, study, have a job, and have personal life. They cannot leave the camp run by the cult commanders and contact us, and we expectant mothers and families wish to find out about their health and how they live.<br />
Unfortunately, during the last four decades, many fathers and mothers have suffered a lot due to the separation and distance of their children or died without getting news of their loved ones.</p>
<p>According to the provisions and obligations that were communicated to them when they entered Albania, the MEK should reside in the country of Albania based on asylum laws and basic human rights and as refugees individually. But all members have been under the absolute control of the leaders of MEK who did not adhere to any of their commitments. The leadership of the MEK has practically imprisoned and held its members hostage and violates their basic human rights.</p>
<p>Considering the current situation where the main and law-abiding nature of the MEK has been clarified against the responsible action of the respected government of Albania in the direction of applying the law and national sovereignty, and considering the precarious situation of our loved ones in the MEK in Albania, we the painful families, for the sake of the captives, appeal you that first allow the Iranian families who can prove their relationship with the people stationed in the MEK camp to enter Albania, and secondly consider arrangements so that these elderly people can meet their loved ones.</p>
<p>Sincerely,<br />
Soraya Abdullahi<br />
Representative of the mothers of Nejat Society</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Soraya Abdollahi, the mother of Amir Aslan Hassanzadeh, was a key speaker at the premier of the <a href="https://www.nejatngo.org/en/posts/14396">new documentary</a> produced by Nejat Society. Last week, the first public presentation of “From Tirana to Tehran” was held by Nejat Society. The movie is a documentary based on the grieves of families of those held as hostages in the camp of the Mujahedin-e Khalq in Tirana, Albania. Soraya has been an active member of Nejat Society for the long years of separation from her son.</p>
<p>Soraya Abdollahi, who have been looking forward to contacting his son, hijacked by the MEK, addressed the audience: “Our beloved children are in captivity of the destructive cult of Rajavi and the monstrous Mujahedin. We, mothers, picketed in Iraq for 4 years only to hug our beloved children but they did not allow us.”<br />
Expressing pleasure for those who have managed to escape the group in recent years she said: “My son has been taken as a hostage in the MEK for 20 years. I and other families have written a large number of letters to human rights organizations but there has been no response. However, we are still standing firmly calling for the release of our loved ones.”</p>
<div id="attachment_14387" style="width: 710px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-14387" class="size-full wp-image-14387" src="https://www.nejatngo.org/en/wp-content/uploads/Tirana-Tehran-20221117-2.jpg" alt="Soraya Abdollahi" width="700" height="470" srcset="https://www.nejatngo.org/en/wp-content/uploads/Tirana-Tehran-20221117-2.jpg 700w, https://www.nejatngo.org/en/wp-content/uploads/Tirana-Tehran-20221117-2-600x403.jpg 600w, https://www.nejatngo.org/en/wp-content/uploads/Tirana-Tehran-20221117-2-300x201.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /><p id="caption-attachment-14387" class="wp-caption-text">Soraya Abdollahi, the mother of Amir Aslan Hassanzadeh</p></div>
<p>Soraya Abdollahi has formed a foundation called “Mothers Organization”, members of which are mothers of those who are taken as hostages in the MEK’s headquarters in Albania. “Via our organization we have sent several letters to the International bodies asking for aid,” Abdollahi said.</p>
<p>The mother of Amir Aslan spoke of an intense and prolonged grief that cannot be spoken: the fact that a large number of mothers of MEK hostages are too old to wait for the release of their beloved children. “So many mothers passed away such as the mother of Hamid Atabay whose son has just left the group after 35 years but she is no more in this world to see her son,” she stated. “How do human rights bodies neglect such grieves?”<br />
Amir Aslan Hasanzadeh is a member the MEK recruited by the group in 2002 (1381) when he was 21 years old. Now he is 42 years old. He is not married because as well as all members of the MEK, he has been kept in isolation as a jihadist by Massoud and Maryam Rajavi. His mother Sorayah has made efforts to meet him but the MEK leaders have so far manipulated the international community and the Albanian government preventing her and hundreds of other Iranian mothers from contacting their children.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Soraya Abdollahi blew out the candles on the birthday cake of her son, Amir Aslan who has been taken as a hostage by the Mujahedin Khalq (the MEK/ the Cult of Rajavi) for 20 years.<br />
Amir Aslan was born on Yalda Night which marks the winter solstice in the Persian calendar. Since 2002, every year at Yalda Night, Soraya blows out the candles and cuts the birthday cake of Amir Aslan in his absence.<br />
Amir Aslan Hassanzadeh was only 19 when he fell in the trap of the MEK recruiters in Turkey. During the 20 years that he has been behind the bars of the Cult of Rajavi, his mother has been endeavoring to find a way to contact Amir Aslan.</p>
<div id="attachment_13740" style="width: 610px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-13740" class="size-full wp-image-13740" src="https://www.nejatngo.org/en/wp-content/uploads/Abdollahi-Soraya-11.jpg" alt="Soraya Abdollahi" width="600" height="719" srcset="https://www.nejatngo.org/en/wp-content/uploads/Abdollahi-Soraya-11.jpg 600w, https://www.nejatngo.org/en/wp-content/uploads/Abdollahi-Soraya-11-250x300.jpg 250w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /><p id="caption-attachment-13740" class="wp-caption-text">Soraya Abdollahi</p></div>
<p>“My dear Amir Aslan! I blew out the candles of your 39th birthday as every year in these past twenty years,” Soraya said addressing her beloved son. “I am still hopeful that you will be with me next year.”<br />
Weeping tears while cutting the cake, Soraya talks to her radicalized son in the MEK’s camp in Albania. “I hope that you will be able to make a decision to find your way to freedom,” she tells Amir Aslan.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-13741" src="https://www.nejatngo.org/en/wp-content/uploads/Abdollahi_Ashraf_8-1.jpg" alt="Soraya Abdollahi " width="700" height="443" srcset="https://www.nejatngo.org/en/wp-content/uploads/Abdollahi_Ashraf_8-1.jpg 700w, https://www.nejatngo.org/en/wp-content/uploads/Abdollahi_Ashraf_8-1-300x190.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></p>
<p>In order to visit her son, Soraya Abdollahi has taken various actions but she has not been successful yet. She traveled to Iraq several times when the MEK was located there. She picketed in front of the gates of MEK’s camps in Iraq but the group authorities never allowed AmirAslan to visit his mother. Soraya also traveled to the UN’s office in Geneva to appeal to the UN special rapporteur on human rights. She has written so many letters to the international community and the Albanian authorities. She is now the head of an association for mothers of MEK hostages.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mujahed is a Quranic word meaning holy fighter. Those who take part in the holy war are Mujahedin (plural form of Mujahed) according to Quran. Currently most Islamic movements use the term to glorify fighters for its cause.</p>
<p>Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO/ MEK/ PMOI/ Cult of Rajavi) was one of the first movements to name itself as such to fight against the Shah of Iran, the American Imperialism and then the Islamic Republic of Iran!</p>
<p>The outcome of half a century of their&#8221;holy war&#8221;was nothing but several thousands of victims including civilians, military men, Iranian, Iraqi and American civilians and politicians. As an armed group, the MEK has killed at least 17 thousand people. Nevertheless, it was disarmed by the US army in 2003 after the American invasion to Iraq. The MEK signed an agreement with its former Imperialist enemy and started offering services to them. It has been working as a proxy force for the US and its strategic ally, Israel.</p>
<p>However, victims of the MEK are not just those who were killed in its terrorist operations. The rank and file of the group are the main victims today. They are under the cult-like rule of Maryam Rajavi and his disappeared husband Massoud Rajavi. They are isolated in the group&#8217;s camp under daily pressure of the indoctrinations of Masoud&#8217;s cult of personality.</p>
<p>In 2005, the <a href="https://www.nejatngo.org/en/posts/79">Human Rights Watch</a> (HRW) published a report on human rights violations taking place within MKO Camps. The report was based on interviews with 12 former members of the group now living in Europe. They spoke of abuses ranging from detention, solitary confinement, beatings and torture. According to the testimonies, at least in two cases torture of the MEK members has led to death inside the MEK jails.</p>
<p>In mid-2009, the Pentagon- Funded Rand Corporation also published a report titled &#8216;<a href="https://www.nejatngo.org/en/posts/2647">Mujahedin-e Khalq in Iraq: A Policy Conundrum</a>&#8216;. The RAND report also reaffirmed that the MEK abuses its own members with cult-like attitudes. The report asserted that the MEK members are due to brainwashing, sleep deprivation, forced labor and mandatory celibacy. The report approved that dissent in the group can lead a member to solitary confinement and torture.</p>
<p>Actually, the rank and file of the MEK have families outside the group who have no access to their loved ones inside the group. They are concerned about the fate of them, particularly because each day, they read and hear testimonies of those who defected the group. They hear horrific stories of cult-like suppression in the MEK so they wish to try their best to help their loved one release from the group.</p>

<p>Soraya Abdollahi is the mother of one of the MEK hostages. Her son AmirAslan Hassanzadeh was recruited by the MEK agents when he was very young.</p>
<div style="width: 640px;" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-12470-2" width="640" height="360" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://dlb.nejatngo.org/Media/Interview/Abdollahi_Sorayya_Olsi_Jazexhi.mp4?_=2" /><a href="https://dlb.nejatngo.org/Media/Interview/Abdollahi_Sorayya_Olsi_Jazexhi.mp4">https://dlb.nejatngo.org/Media/Interview/Abdollahi_Sorayya_Olsi_Jazexhi.mp4</a></video></div>
<p>Ms. Abdollahi has been endeavoring to free AmirAslan from the hands of the MEK leaders, for over two decades. She has taken every kind of legal action to call on the international community for the release of their son.</p>
<div id="attachment_12471" style="width: 410px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-12471" class="wp-image-12471 size-full" src="https://www.nejatngo.org/en/wp-content/uploads/Amir_Aslan_2.jpg" alt="AmirAslan Hassanzadeh" width="400" height="240" srcset="https://www.nejatngo.org/en/wp-content/uploads/Amir_Aslan_2.jpg 400w, https://www.nejatngo.org/en/wp-content/uploads/Amir_Aslan_2-300x180.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" /><p id="caption-attachment-12471" class="wp-caption-text">AmirAslan Hassanzadeh</p></div>
<p>She has met several authorities in Iran, Iraq, Europe and the United Nations. She has written so many letters to anyone who can do anything for them. She has founded an NGO called&#8221;Mothers, Forgotten Victims&#8221;to help the voice of mothers of the MEK members to be heard. She has launched several campaigns to collect signatures to make Albanian government take action in order to help Ashraf residents choose for their fate.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-12472 size-full" src="https://www.nejatngo.org/en/wp-content/uploads/abdollahi_Ashraf_4.jpg" alt="Soraya Abdollahi" width="500" height="549" srcset="https://www.nejatngo.org/en/wp-content/uploads/abdollahi_Ashraf_4.jpg 500w, https://www.nejatngo.org/en/wp-content/uploads/abdollahi_Ashraf_4-273x300.jpg 273w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></p>
<p>As it is expected, she has been labeled by the MEK as an agent of the Iranian Intelligence. The MEK leaders even made AmirAslan to show up on their TV channel to insult his own mother accusing her of being the&#8221;agent of the regime&#8221;but Ms. Abdollahi did not stop her struggle to liberate her son and the children of other mothers.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-12473 size-full" src="https://www.nejatngo.org/en/wp-content/uploads/abdollahi_Ashraf_5.jpg" alt="Soraya Abdollahi" width="327" height="218" srcset="https://www.nejatngo.org/en/wp-content/uploads/abdollahi_Ashraf_5.jpg 327w, https://www.nejatngo.org/en/wp-content/uploads/abdollahi_Ashraf_5-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 327px) 100vw, 327px" /></p>
<p>Can`t she be considered a holy warrior whose only motivation is the love of her son? Isn&#8217;t she really fighting for a sacred cause: the liberation of hundreds of individuals who are taken as hostage by the Cult of Rajavi?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-12474 size-full" src="https://www.nejatngo.org/en/wp-content/uploads/abdollahi_Ashraf_7.jpg" alt="Soraya Abdollahi" width="500" height="363" srcset="https://www.nejatngo.org/en/wp-content/uploads/abdollahi_Ashraf_7.jpg 500w, https://www.nejatngo.org/en/wp-content/uploads/abdollahi_Ashraf_7-300x218.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;<em>I ask you to help me not only to rescue my son Emir Aslan but to rescue all hostages</em>&#8220;said <strong>Soraya Abdollahi</strong> to the Albanian historian <strong>Dr. Olsi Jazexh</strong>,&#8221;<em>I am the mother of all of them</em>&#8220;.</p>
<p>As a mother who has been working for ten years in order to rescue her son from the bars of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization, Soraya was interviewed by Dr. Jazexhi. This is how he introduces Soraya on his You Tube account where he published the interview:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Emir Aslan Hasanzadeh is an Iranian mojahedeen taken by MEK in 2002 (1381) when he was 21 years old. Now he is 38 years old. Not married. Kept in isolation as a jihadi by the Maryam Rajavi mojahedeen gang in Manza, Albania. His mother Sorayah wants to meet him. But Albanian authorities who obey to the Mojaheeden command do not allow her and hundreds of other Iranian mothers to come to Albania and see their sons.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Soraya is an iconic symbol of mother love and as she says she is the representative of many mothers whose children are kept as hostages in the MEK camps. However, Soraya is called&#8221;<strong>the agent of the Iranian regime</strong>&#8220;by the MEK as well as Dr. Jazexhi is called by them.</p>
<div style="width: 640px;" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-11009-3" width="640" height="360" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://dlb.nejatngo.org/Media/Interview/Abdollahi_Sorayya_Olsi_Jazexhi.mp4?_=3" /><a href="https://dlb.nejatngo.org/Media/Interview/Abdollahi_Sorayya_Olsi_Jazexhi.mp4">https://dlb.nejatngo.org/Media/Interview/Abdollahi_Sorayya_Olsi_Jazexhi.mp4</a></video></div>
<p>Actually, any person outside the group&#8217;s camps who is willing to contact his loved one inside the camps is considered&#8221;<em>the agent of IRI</em>&#8220;by the MEK. Weeping tears, Soraya Abdollhi tells Dr. Jazexhi,&#8221;<em>I promised all mothers of the MEK hostages to help them liberate their children</em>&#8220;. She asks him and the authorities of Albania to aid them with the release of their sons and daughters imprisoned in the Cult of Rajavi.</p>
<p>Abdolahi recounts her experience of the several times that she picketed together with other families in front of Camp Ashraf, Iraq. She witnessed female members of the MEK gazing at them through the bars of the camp.&#8221;<em>I saw them from a short distance,&#8221;</em>Abdollahi talks about the young girls of the MEK<em>.&#8221;They seemed so oppressed looking at me with too much regret like asking me to rescue them from behind those barbed wires.</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>She recalls two female defectors of the MEK Maryam Sanjabi and Zahra Mirbagheri as two typical examples of young girls who escaped from Camp Ashraf during those years.&#8221;A lot of other girls are still there taken as hostages such as Somayeh [Mohammadi]&#8221;, she adds.</p>
<p>Both sides of the interview are pretty sure that they will be accused of being the Iranian agents by the MEK but their claims about the oppressive ruling system of the MEK is nothing new. <strong>Luisa Hommerich of the Spiegel</strong> was also labeled as the Iranian agent because she reported that the MEK&#8221;<em>subjected followers to psychological terror</em>&#8220;. She interviewed certain defectors of the group including GholamReza Shekari.&#8221;<strong>They told us lies to ensure our obedience</strong>,&#8221;Shekari told Spiegel.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;We were guarded and forced to break off contact with our families.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Suddaf Chaudry</strong> of the Middle East Eye then investigated the case of the MEK inside the Albanian territory. The report quoted a vocal defector of the group living in Albania, <strong>Hassan Heyrani</strong>, who criticizes the Albanian authorities for their ties with the MEK leaders in order to oppress current members and former members of the group. Hassan is also accused by the MEK of being the Iranian agent. However, he does not stop asking for his rights as a defector of the MEK.</p>
<p>&#8220;We just want a normal life, to get married and have a family,&#8221;He told the MEE.&#8221;We have no citizenship, no passports, no land rights. We came here on humanitarian grounds, but we are treated like criminals.&#8221;</p>
<p>The voice of Soraya Abdollahi and a large number of family members of the MEK hostages should be heard by the international bodies. They must take proper actions to convince Albanian government to support MEK members to lead a normal life with normal relationships.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Greetings and Regards</p>
<p>I call on all international human rights organizations to help.</p>
<p>I am Soraya Abdullahi from Iran. Amir Aslan Hassanzadeh is my only son who was abducted in 2002 by members of the Mojahedin Khalq Organization from Turkish job search and transferred to the Mojahedin headquarters in Iraq under the name of Ashraf. I have traveled to Iraq several times.</p>
<img loading="lazy" width="1000" height="860" class="wp-image-7686 size-full"src="https://www.nejatngo.org/en/wp-content/uploads/Abdollahi_Soraya_8.jpg"alt=""width="1000"height="860" srcset="https://www.nejatngo.org/en/wp-content/uploads/Abdollahi_Soraya_8.jpg 1000w, https://www.nejatngo.org/en/wp-content/uploads/Abdollahi_Soraya_8-300x258.jpg 300w, https://www.nejatngo.org/en/wp-content/uploads/Abdollahi_Soraya_8-768x660.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" />
<p>I asked all human rights organizations in Iraq and other countries to help me meet my son, but unfortunately I have not received any response so far.</p>
<p>Therefore, due to the concerns of the current situation in Albania and the place of imprisonment of Iranian individuals named Manez, I ask you, as a human rights representative and supporter of those whose members are abducted and imprisoned by the sect, to take measures as soon as possible. Let me have news of my son’s current situation.</p>
<p>I haven’t heard from my son for nearly eighteen years.</p>
<p>I am waiting for your answer.</p>
<p>Best regards,</p>
<p>Soraya Abdullahi</p>
