SCANDAL! Albanian Mafia Helps Mojahedin Khalq Recruit Our Youth, Fears The EU

In Albania there is a silent threat to all of Europe from a group of three thousand Mojahedin (MEK) who are accommodated in a camp in our country. In an article published in Huffingtonpost, it is said that there is a risk that the MEK will cooperate with the Albanian Mafia, and have even tried to recruit Albanian youth for their own purposes. For this reason, the MEK has moved to a second camp called ‘Ashraf Three’.

Tirana Today

The article states that when anti-terrorism expert Anne Khodabandeh visited Tirana on November 5-7 to investigate the difficult situation of former members, some of the interviews she gave in the media were withdrawn from broadcast due to threats by the MEK and Albanian mafia when she revealed that she had discovered that the MEK is actively recruiting Albanian youth to join their cause.

According to the author of the article, the goal for the arrival of thousands of Mojahedin from Iraq to Albania was for their de-radicalization, but that never happened.

The article is authored by the director of Middle East Strategy Consultants, Massoud Khodabandeh, who as well as expressing concern about political slavery, warns of the danger of a Second Jihad represented by the Mojahedin cult under their leader Maryam Rajavi.

According to him, the Mojahedin in our country are political slaves, indoctrinated and kept in complete isolation. And if they try to abandon the group, they are humiliated, beaten and even killed.

Although America turns a blind eye to political slavery, the European Union takes a very different view. Not only are Albania’s efforts to join the EU completely hindered by the MEK’s ​​activities there, the rapprochement of the group with the Albanian mafia, and the threat of a new wave of political slavery implies that Albania is now considered a threat to security at the border of Europe rather than a potential partner country.

Albania’s Modern Slavery Problem Alienates Europe

A UK report on modern slavery identifies its various manifestations – sexual exploitation, labour exploitation and domestic servitude – concluding that increased awareness results in an increase in detection and reporting. But, with trafficking at the root of much modern slavery it is clearly a worldwide phenomenon, not limited to the west or to any particular country.

Ann Singleton, Adel and Bahman Azami,Sadollah seifi

Modern Slavery is usually a hidden phenomenon, it goes on behind closed doors and can be hard to detect. Victims are often isolated individuals – domestic servants or cannabis ‘farmers’ – locked away behind closed doors. Nobody knows of their existence because they have been illegally trafficked. Even those more openly kept in brothels for sexual exploitation are unable to escape for fear of reprisals against themselves and their families back home.

But there is another form of slavery hidden in plain sight: political slavery. This is not difficult to detect because the kinds of groups which practice it actively seek publicity and influence over worldwide politics. The exiled Iranian Mojahedin Khalq organisation (MEK aka MKO, NCRI, Rajavi cult) is one such group. It describes itself as a democratic political organisation, the main opposition to the Islamic Republic of Iran. But the life of the members speaks of a very different story.

A year ago, the last of nearly three thousand MEK members were finally expelled from Iraq where they had been operating under the patronage of Saddam Hussein. America paid millions of dollars to the UN and the Albanian government to have the group to settle there. Part of the deal was to establish a de-radicalization programme to return the members to normal life. This did not happen.

Instead, the group closed ranks and over the past year, several high-profile US politicians and former officials opportunistically visited Albania to heap praise on the MEK for its anti-Iran stance. John Bolton, Senator John McCain, among others have unabashedly promoted the group by meeting its leader Maryam Rajavi there.

Of greater concern was that during this same period the families of these MEK members in Albania complained to the UNHCR and the Albanian government about the treatment of their loved ones. They said that many, perhaps the majority of MEK members want to leave the group but have nothing – no money, no place to go, no officially recognised status and no language skills – to help them do so. They are effectively being held in a state of modern slavery.

A report by an Albanian lawyer (acting for MEK members who managed to separate from the group) after meeting with the UNHCR in Tirana reveals that under a secret agreement struck between the Americans, the government of Albania and the MEK leader, the UNHCR supervised the transfer of approximately 3,000 MEK from Iraq to Albania not as refugees but on a ‘humanitarian basis’. In other words, they have no official status in the country.

According to this agreement, all the expenses for the MEK members are to be doled out by the MEK itself. This means that members are totally dependent on the MEK leadership for their subsistence. Those who have expressed their desire to separate from the group, for whatever reason, must continue to obey MEK rules and restrictions, they must accept MEK imposed conditions so that they are given accommodation and food.

As such, they are forced to pay lip service to a belief system they no longer believe in. They are forced to give allegiance to a pseudo-political terrorist entity. Under these conditions, they are modern political slaves, trapped in plain sight in a circle of fear, coercion and isolation.

Bahman Azami, Adel Azami and Sadollah Seyfi talk about their ordeals with Albanian media (Nov. 2017)

The stories of those who do escape are harrowing. (See videos below.) In the MEK, any word of dissent is punished. How? By public humiliation, beatings, solitary confinement and ultimately death. More poignantly, in the MEK contact with your family is a punishable sin against the leader. Your devotion must solely focus on Maryam Rajavi to the exclusion of all others. This is a disturbing addition to the ways and reasons that individuals are enslaved. It is known as cultic abuse because of the involvement of a belief system. The MEK are political pawns whose minds have been hijacked for a cause most of them no longer believe in. Urgent action is needed to rescue them. But at present there is little hope of that. Even Albania’s deputy anti-trafficking coordinator, Dr Elona Gjebrea, who is also the deputy minister of the interior, has bowed down in the Court of Maryam Rajavi.

When counter-terrorism expert Anne Khodabandeh visited Tirana on 5-7 November to investigate the plight of former members, several media interviews she gave were pulled from broadcast due to MEK and Albanian Mafia intimidation when she revealed that the MEK are actively recruiting Albanian youth to their cause.

But a more sinister turn of events is taking place right now. The MEK is moving over 2,500 members to a remote camp in the north of Albania far away from any local communities. This desperate act serves several purposes. One is to recreate the isolation the cult enjoyed in Iraq where coercion and brainwashing were a daily occurrence – the new camp is called ‘Ashraf Three’. Another reason is to prevent families from reaching their loved ones and prevent members from escaping. The other is to empty the old university buildings in Tirana to make way for a new round of political slaves to take up residence. This time, families of Daesh fighters who have fled Iraq and Syria are rumoured to be ready to move to Albania on ‘humanitarian grounds’.

While America turns a blind eye to political slavery, the European Union takes a very different view. Not only have Albania’s efforts to accede to the EU been completely stymied by the MEK’s activities there, the group’s alignment with the Albanian Mafia and the threat of a new wave of political slaves means Albania is now regarded as a security threat on the border of Europe rather than a potential partner country.

MKO members in Albania

Warning: MEK moving members to a remote and isolated camp in Albania

For three days now, the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK, MKO, Rajavi cult) in Albania has been relocating its members to a remote and isolated camp in Albania which they have called the ‘Ashraf Three’ base after Camp Ashraf, the main MEK garrison in Iraq. The new base is surrounded by high walls and barbed wire to prevent the members from escaping.

MKO members in Albania

Since a long time ago the Rajavi cult has been covertly establishing facilities far away from Tirana, or any other town or city, to which it can move its members and separate them from the outside world. The aim is to exert maximum control over them to enable further brainwashing them without interference. A remote and isolated place similar to Camp Ashraf in Iraq is an ideal place for coercive psychological manipulation because it allows the leaders to control the followers both physically and mentally.

At present, the MEK members in Tirana enjoy some limited access to the outside world. This is not tolerable for the cult. The cult leader Maryam Rajavi wants her followers captive all the time. If they have free access to the outside world they will realize they are continually being told lies and they will discover that there is a way out.

The method of controlling the members inside the MEK is mind manipulation which requires an isolated area from which the members cannot escape and gradually people forget about the free world and accept their lives in there.

Cults like the MEK do not allow their members access to uncensored news or information. If they are moved to this new base the situation will be even worse than it was for them in Iraq since they now know a lot more than they did before about the outside world and therefore the internal pressure and suppression will be more severe.

The cult has also forced members to sign documents to swear that they wish to move to the new place willingly and voluntarily and they have no right to leave the place ever. They are told that this is for their own safety and security which is not correct. In this way they are giving away their rights and freedom for the rest of their lives.

The members have also been given promises of excellent facilities and services which are all lies and even if any such privileges existed these do not replace family relations and contact with the outside world which the cult is denying.

For instance, is it not worse that the members will not have access to the internet and will not be able to contact their families? In Rajavi’s world one has to live isolated from the world and only listen to the cult leaders.

Sahar Family Foundation urges all humanitarian activists and organizations around the world to prevent this human catastrophe from happening and rescue these people from being deceived into a lifelong prison.

The Mojahedin-Mafia coalition threatens media freedom, censorship of Ora News television

Anne Khodabandeh (Singleton) exposing Maryam Rajavi’s MEK activities in Albania

The strength of the Iranian Mojahedin organization in Albania is unconscionable. The organization in question – known as the MKO, the MEK, the National Council of Resistance of Iran, the Rajavi cult – not only wants the violent overthrow of the government of Iran, not only has it managed to recruit politicians, MPs and young Albanians in its campaign against Iran, but their power has already been extended to the media in Albania.

On November 8 and 9, the British activist and former member of the Mojahedin-e Khalq organization, Anne Singleton – Khodabandeh, visited Albania. During her stay, she visited several institutions and gave several interviews to the Albanian media, showing her experience in the process of deradicalization of violent extremists. Anne Singleton was interviewed by several television outlets including Ora News and TemA TV. She, along with some former Mojahedin who have separated from the jihadist organization and have been deradicalized, provided interviews showing their experience and suffering in the Iranian jihadist organization and the reasons why they decided to abandon jihad.

The TemA TV and Ora News reportage was widely viewed so that the Mojahedin organization in Tirana demanded a counter-response to her allegations. But the reportage to be broadcast by one of these television channels never appeared. The Mojahedin not only refused to answer questions from the journalist who went to interview them but visited the media’s editorial office and “convinced” the owner not to show the interview of the British activist.

While Ora News featured an interview with the British activist on 12 November 2017. However, today, two days after the interview of British activist Anne Singleton the broadcast has been deleted by Ora News from its channel on Youtube and from the news edition of the date 12 November 2017. The Iranian Mojahedin, this cultic and jihadist organization operating freely in Albania, seems to have extended its power not only to corrupt Albanian politicians but also to Albanian media. What is being written here is not conspiracy theory, but fact. Below are the hidden links of Ora News television where Anne Singleton talked about her experience with the Iranian jihadist organization:

Exclusive for Ora News, Anne Singleton: Mojahedin Khalq are recruiting Albanian youth

Anne Singleton who introduces herself as a human rights activist who separated from the Mojahedin group, said in an interview with Ora News that this group is terrorist and is extremely dangerous for Albania. Singleton said the Mojahedin are recruiting young Albanians to use for their purposes. On the other hand, the Mujahedin group in Albania calls Anne Singleton an Iranian intelligence agent who spreads propaganda against the democratic opposition of Iran.

Ann Singleton

In May 2013, the first opposition group in Iran, the so-called Mojahedin, arrived in Albania. Today, more than 3,000 Mojahedin are being protected in Albania. Their arrival in Albania was accompanied by great debates due to poor public knowledge about their activities and after allegations of their designation as terrorists. But with the United States mediation, Albania accepted an agreement to shelter them. Anne Singleton, a British activist and human rights consultant, arrived in Albania to raise concerns about this group. Anne says she was part of this group and separated after having realized that their intention to oppose the Iranian regime democratically was deceptive. Singleton said the Mojahedin are currently recruiting young Albanians to use for their purposes. On the other hand, the representatives of the Mojahedin in Albania call her an Iranian agent who is trying to demonize the democratic opposition to the Iranian regime. According to the Mojahedin in Albania, Anne Singleton, and her husband Massoud Khodabandeh, are two agents of the Iranian Intelligence Ministry (MOIS), who are based in London. According to the Mojahedin, the Pentagon has also called them agents of the Iranian intelligence services who were recruited by the Mojahedin group and who were used as anti-opposition activists.

Interview for Ora-News

What is the purpose of your visit to Albania?

I came to Albania because of the scandal, if we can call it this, caused by the presence of the Mojahedin in Albania. I’m trying to figure out what’s going on and trying to help members who want to leave this organization to do so safely.

What is this organization to you?

I was a member of this organization for 20 years. I was recruited as a student. My visit is about a terrorist group which believes in the violent overthrow of the Iranian government and for 40 years has a history of violence. For the past 15 years I have been trying to expose the true nature of this group and to help members who want to leave.

Why did they come to Albania?

The Mojahedin have come to Albania because they have been expelled from Iraq. After 2003 they lost Saddam Hussein’s protection and therefore had to leave. The Iraqi government thought the group should be broken up, however the Americans thought the Mojahedin were in favor of their anti-Iran agenda and apparently found a third country to host them, which was Albania.

Why Albania?

Because no one else was prepared to accept them. Your government has received money from the Americans to shelter a former terrorist group in your capital.

We do not know much about the agreement Albania has made with the United States. Why are they so mysterious? Why do we not know much about them?

The first thing that goes through my mind is to say that whatever they do is illegal. Originally, they came from Iraq to Albania under a secret deal between the US, Albanian government, and the Mojahedin. Nobody knows what this agreement is or if it exists. What we are concerned about is that the Mojahedin have come, through this agreement, as a group, which means they do not have individual status and in fact they have no status in Albania. A piece of paper said they were brought on humanitarian grounds, but that does not mean anything. You cannot work with it, you cannot access anywhere, you cannot have a passport with it. If we follow this logic, they were brought to this country illegally as if they were trafficked. They were trafficked as a group without any status through this deal about which no one knows anything. And the Mojahedin themselves are a secret organization because of the cultic nature of the group – what you call in Albanian a sect.

Then why are they living in bad conditions? Are they funded and by whom?

The Mojahedin have never been an independent group. They were funded by Saddam Hussein. He paid for them, supplied arms, they were under Saddam Hussein’s patronage. But in addition, Saudi princes have always funded the group. There have been funds from anti-Iran elements, from America, Israel, support from the anti-Iran front, but I can assure you that this money never goes to the members. They are not paid, they are somehow, modern slaves, gladiators.

What is the risk that Albania is taking by protecting them?

The risk that Albania is taking is greater than you understand, or even what your government understands. At superficial levels, the Mojahedin present themselves as democrats, as human rights defenders, and want to introduce themselves as an alternative to the Iranian regime about which they tell many lies, about how repressive it is. I am not saying that the Iranian regime does not use repressive methods but not to the extent that the Mojahedin say. The reality is very different. The Mojahedin have never given up on their belief, and it is the blind belief of the entire organization, in violent regime change. How can you say they are democratic if they believe in changing the regime by force? Within the organization, their structure is hierarchical. They have the leader who is there for life. This is a criminal organization. Their expertise, apart from terrorism, assassinations – because they were involved in the killings of nuclear scientists in Iran, and their history of American assassinations before the revolution – this expertise has been used by ISIS, AL Qaeda, and it facilitates terrorism. Although they are not now in a position to undertake terrorist acts in Albania, they are experts in human trafficking, money laundering. They have the expertise to teach organizations how to manipulate their members, to use suicides, which they were the first to invent. In addition, as a result of its cultic nature, this group poses a risk to society. You may ask how? Why? We look at them in the streets and they do nothing to anyone… But they are recruiting your youth, young Albanians, to join this organization, as I did years ago, and work for them for nothing in return.

What do you suggest? To drive them out?

The Mojahedin leadership is very close to the Americans, and the Americans are very close to your government, so… The European Union is very concerned about the Mojahedin in Albania for two reasons, one because Albania has applied to join the EU, which will not will happen for as long as this group is in Albania. But besides this, they know the Mojahedin well. They know this group is dangerous, they know it represents a threat to parliamentary democracy and to society, and they want to see it dismantled, or not in Albania.

Cults are destructive
The cult of Rajavi

MEK, More like a Cult than an Opposition Group

MEK or KKK, Cults are destructive

For those familiar with the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO/ MEK/ the Cult of Rajavi) the group’s efforts to represent itself as an opposition group who fights for freedom of Iranians is both absurd and ludicrous.

Cults are destructive

The MKO has notorious reputation in helping Saddam Hossein in the Iran—Iraq war during which many Iraqis along with Iranians were killed as a result. It goes without saying that MKO was funded and supported by Saddam. This is why almost all Iranians and Iraqis loathed the group.

Human Rights Watch has been clear on the MKO’s cult-like practices that include abuses which range “from detention and persecution of ordinary members wishing to leave the organization, to lengthy solitary confinements, severe beatings, and torture of dissident members.” [1]

Elizabeth Rubin a contributor to The New York Times Magazine, where her article”The Cult of Rajavi”appeared in July2003, warns American supporters of the MKO, “Mujahedeen Khalq is not only irrelevant to the cause of Iran’s democratic activists, but a totalitarian cult that will come back to haunt us.” [2]

“Friendships and all emotional relationships are forbidden,” Rubin writes about the atmosphere ruling the Cult of Rajavi. “From the time they are toddlers, boys and girls are not allowed to speak to each other. Each day at Camp Ashraf you had to report your dreams and thoughts.” [3]

Considering such reports and documents on violations of human rights inside the MKO camps, Jon Gambrell of the Associated Press states his concerns over the paid sponsorship for the group by the side of some factions of the Trump administration. “An official in U.S. President Donald Trump’s cabinet and at least one of his advisers gave paid speeches for an Iranian exile group that killed Americans before the 1979 Islamic Revolution, ran donation scams and saw its members set themselves on fire over the arrest of their leader,” he writes. “The U.S. State Department has described the MEK as having”cult-like characteristics.”When French police arrested Rajavi in 2003 as part of a terrorism investigation, MEK members responded by lighting themselves on fire. At least two people died.” [4]

Gambrell reveals the US newly-elected cabinet member for her paid support for the formerly terrorist designated MKO. “Elaine Chao, confirmed this week as Trump’s transportation secretary, received $50,000 in 2015 for a five-minute speech to the political wing of the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq, previously called a”cult-like”terrorist group by the U.S. State Department.” [5]

Paid advocacy for the MKO is actually a disgrace for its sponsors in Washington due to the MKO’s violent past and cult-like present. Mehdi Hassan of the Intercept states, ”These days, the organization — run by husband and wife Massoud and Maryam Rajavi, though the former’s whereabouts are unknown and he is rumored to be dead — claims to have renounced violence and sells itself to its new American friends as a 100 percent secular and democratic Iranian opposition group.” [6]

However, Hassan suggests that its terrorist background is not the biggest problem with the MKO. “Plenty of violent groups that were once seen as “terrorists” later abandoned their armed struggles and entered the corridors of power — think of the Irish Republican Army or Mandela’s African National Congress,” he writes. “Nor is it that the MEK lacks support inside of the Islamic Republic, where it has been disowned by the opposition Green Movement and is loathed by ordinary Iranians for having fought on Saddam Hussein’s side during the Iran-Iraq war.” [7]

He correctly ends his argument against the MKO by warning the US politicians about the group’s cult-like nature. “Rather, the biggest problem with U.S. politicians backing the MEK is that the group has all the trappings of a totalitarian cult,” he states. ”Don’t take my word for it: A 1994 State Department report documented how Massoud Rajavi “fostered a cult of personality around himself” which had “alienated most Iranian expatriates, who assert they do not want to replace one objectionable regime for another.” [8]

More tangible for the American audience is the argument by Sam Ghanchi the editor of Iranscope who compares the Cult of Rajavi with the notorious American cult, Ku Klux Klan (KKK)*. “In our eyes, PMOI is the Ku Klux Klan of 150 years ago and not Klan of today which at least acts civilized and does not lynch people. PMOI has agents harassing and threatening pro-democracy activists who oppose PMOI, on the Internet and elsewhere,” he states in his website. “We do not want the death of any human being but want the death of this *organization* which is a Shiite version of Daesh and goes by the names of Mojahedin khalgh organization, PMOI, MEK, MKO.” [9]

*The Ku Klux Klan, with its long history of violence, is the most infamous – and oldest – of American hate groups. Although black American shave typically been the Klan’s primary target, it also has attacked Jews, immigrants, gays and lesbians and, until recently, Catholics. Over the years since it was formed in December 1865, the Klan has typically seen itself as a Christian organization, although in modern times Klan groups are motivated by a variety of theological and political ideologies. The group has been an ardent supporter of Donald Trump during its presidential campaign.

MEK- Mujahedin khalq Organization
Mujahedin Khalq; A proxy force

US using MKO terrorists as anti-Iran leverage

Pye ian, an independent political and economic researcher, has advised iranian officials to watch out for potential terrorist attacks in the wake of a recent meeting between several senior us senators and the head of anti-iran terrorist mujahedin-e khalq organization (mko) maryam rajavi.

US using MKO terrorists as anti-Iran leverage

Since “Washington and its allies have nothing otherwise to be able to have any sense of leverage within Iran or with Iranians,” the American politicians are “utilizing this terrorist group for terrorism,” Ian warned in an interview with Press TV on Monday.

The delegation of Republican Senators Roy Blunt, John Cornyn, and Thom Tillis had a meeting with Rajavi in Tirana, the capital of Albania, on Saturday.

“This latest meeting in Albania is yet another tactical one and thus Iranian security forces can expect another terrorist incident or incidents within Iran’s borders or on Iranian interests anywhere in the world,” because the June terrorist attacks in Tehran came right on the heels of a meeting between Maryam Rajavi and a group of American neo-cons.

Back in June, Iran’s Parliament (Majlis) and the Mausoleum of the late founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini, became the target of coordinated attacks. 18 people lost their lives and nearly 50 others sustained injuries in shootings and blasts for which Daesh claimed responsibility.

MEK Cult
Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

Warning about threats against the families and former MEK members

Ministria e Punëve të Brendshme

Dëshmorët e Kombit Boulevard, Tirana, Albania

Dear Mr Dritan Demiraj,

As you are aware, over 2,000 members of a terrorist cult known as the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK, MKO, NCR, NLA …) are residing in your country as UN refugees. These individuals are subjected to all kinds of cultic abuses and restrictions, including deprivation of family contact and visits.

To date, some 100 individuals have separated from this cult. They remain in Albania, but under an agreement made between the UNHCR and the MEK leaders, their UN refugee allowances are still paid directly to the Rajavi cult instead of to them as individuals. This diversion of the funds meant to cover their living expenses means that they remain under the control of the cult.

In addition, inside the MEK there are also some 100 individuals who we know want to leave but who are prevented from doing so due to the extreme measures of control imposed on the members. Some of these individuals are even kept in solitary confinement inside the cult.

Recently, Maryam Rajavi – the de facto leader of the cult after Massoud Rajavi’s disappearance – again made a trip to Albania to try to prevent members from leaving. In a meeting, she implicitly threatened those who want to leave. We know that her arrival in and departure from Albania is arranged to avoid her undergoing passport control procedures at the airport. During Rajavi’s visit, Ms Elona Gjebrea, Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs responsible for anti-trafficking, participated in a cult meeting and expressed her full support for the terrorist group.

Lately an article was published in a website associated with the cult which threatens the families of members and the former members with death. Naturally, this caused a great deal of concern amongst them. In this article those who have left the organization and those who wish to visit their loved ones are defined as traitors and therefore, according to the cultic theories of this group, liable to summary execution. The Albanian government’s neglect and appeasement of this terrorist group has given them an open hand and has encouraged them to openly threaten people with death by assassination.

We also learned that the terrorist Rajavi cult has prepared facilities 27 kilometers outside Tirana so that it can move all the members to a remote and isolated place similar to Ashraf garrison in Iraq. There it is planned to hide them from external observation, inspection or intervention and deprive them of their liberty, basic human rights and prevent them from having any access to the outside world.

Unfortunately, we are also witness to brutal behavior by the Albanian government and police towards the families. The families come to Albania to visit their loved ones. Where on earth is visiting loved ones considered a crime so that in your country these suffering families have been interrogated by the police and been treated as criminals after being beaten up by the cult’s mobs?

The separated members of the Rajavi cult in Albania have complained to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and to the UNHCR many times about the misconduct and criminality of the cult toward themselves, the members and others. The response so far, however, is for each to hold the other body responsible for neglecting their legal duty.

Sahar Family Foundation warns against allowing death threats against the families and the separated members and will hold the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the police and security forces responsible for the deeds of the cult’s elements and reserves the right to pursue cases through legal assemblies and international organizations.

Respectfully Yours,

Sahar Family Foundation

Duplicity of the MEK natureMujahedin Khalq Organization's Propaganda System

France’s safety is the main victim of MKO’s traffic

Mujahidin-e Khalq Organization held a meeting in Paris. The meeting is a propaganda for survival rather than making a practical measure or plan and future objectives.

Actually, what just Mujahedin want to say, that also costs them millions of dollars, is that we still exist and the enemies of Iran can invest on us to fight the Islamic Republic of Iran.

It should be noted as Mujahedin themselves know that pro-MKO intelligence services estimated Iranians have deep-seated hatred towards the organization. Plotting issues such as an alternative to the Iranian regime, its overthrow and …are just in publicity levels. Altogether, the organization with all of its factors, capacities and possibilities is an opposition to the Islamic Republic. So, Iran’s enemies have to strengthen groups such as MKO, hoping for some kind of nuisance.

However, it should not be expected a vast impression for MKO and its meeting in Paris. The radius of this move has not go further than Villepinte hall and a couple hour media advertisement before and after the meeting. Reviewing this meeting can explain the glitter of this ad.

Retired and rental speakers

A glance at the media movements and the organization’s supporters reveal that all the participant and well-known politicians who attended the group’s gathering believe that they have been retired and they do not expect to back to power that make such a deal with MKO.

John Bolton, Gingrich, Lopez, Turki al-Faisal and so on, all of them have no longer a position in the power structures of their respective countries and merely see attending MKO’s meeting as business. The difference is the position and history of each of these politicians is effective in increasing or decreasing the amount.

Looking at the checkbook of Mujahedin, it would be realized that they spent 80,000 dollars for a two-minute speech in some cases. The thing is, MKO members write their speech notes. More precisely, speakers are reserved for an hour in MKO’s meetings.

Rudolph Giuliani attended the recent MKO’s meeting in Villepinte. His behavior is an example that these people do not care to sabotage their political future for business. Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City, intended to take a post in Donald Trump’s cabinet after he took the office. Therefore, he kept his distance with the organization and its campaign, but his presence at the meeting shows that he do not hope to back to power so he returned to his old business.

Rented crowd

The crowd present at the hall mostly were European tourists and some homeless people except organization’s official and associated members in Europe who usually sit in first lines. Some of them don’t know anything about politics and even don’t have the slightest connection with the issue. They came to the meeting that they were promised a one-day trip to Paris with a transfer fee, free food, and even some pocket money. Many European students or asylum seekers who attended the meeting in the past years talked about its quality. It reveals that Mujahedin don’t have enough people in Europe, even to fill Villepinte hall.

Of course, Mujahedin became smarter this year and bring figures from East Asia, West Asian Arabs, and Afghan and Pakistani nationals instead of colored people who were found abundantly in the meeting each year. So it created a more common face for its meeting.

Digits that have been published from the meeting, indicate that each refugee daily receives about 30 to 50 euros plus free food, and whoever could bring 20 to 30 people to the meeting will get around 1,500 euros.

Institutions and contractual associations

There are always some institutions and associations that issued a statement in support of MKO or signed Mujahedin’s petition and statement.  An interesting point about these institutions, which generally are related to the countries that MKO agents are active in, is that there isn’t any well-known individual in these institutions and they didn’t do anything except supporting and confirming Mujahedin.

These two reasons from among dozens of other signs prove that these associations, as previously seen in MKO’s activities, cover division organizations that don’t have any background except a name and a registration, and don’t have any other use as well.  The covering institutions are used to show a widespread supporting circle for the organization. In the past, they are also used to get money in the form of charity in the name of different damaged groups; but they worked in the favor of the terrorist organization. However, this method is still active in the European region.

“Syria’s solidarity with the grand gathering of resistance in Paris” is a massage issued by these institutions at the recent meeting. Like before, it don’t has a specific background and isn’t supported by well-known people.

Meanwhile, the existence of a real association and forum can also be investigated in Paris. A cohort consists of the separated members of this cult want to put an end to the terrorist activities in the heart of Europe, by disclosing hundreds and perhaps thousands of pages of documents and evidence. These people are the living evidence of human rights abuses, assassinations, torture and … committed by the organization. Now they are working on their own for the fight against this organization.

The final victim is France’s safety!

The missing MKO leader Massoud Rajavi was remembered viewing an archival footage at this year’s meeting. MKO leader Maryam Rajavi has entered the hall while she was escorted by 15 male and female bodyguards. It show that hypocrites do not feel safe, this year!

The French should worry most, about the safety! France and especially Paris has been involved with the terrorist attacks in the past two years. Today’s security situation is a matter of concern. Under these conditions, a group of 30 years of terror and crime freely commutes and holds a meeting there. Not in-depth review, it’s easy to understand that obtaining such a wrong approach threatens the security of the whole country!

Iraq, in the heart of crisis and terror, expelled terrorists to restore its security, it throw out the MKO agents forever who conducted numerous terrorist operations in the country. In such circumstances, it shouldn’t be so hard to understand for the French government that giving terrorists an opportunity now will affect the French nation someday.

In the end, closing the Mujahedin case requires a real determination. Western governments, including France, can be its main pillars, in one condition, that they put the real fight against terrorism as the decision criteria rather than their political objectives.
