Pictorial – sixth group of families in front of Camp Liberty

Families of Liberty residents gathered in front of the camp gates for the sixth time, on July 31st afternoon.

Picketing families are from various provinces from all over Iran. According to the authorities, about a hundred more are seeking to obtain Iraqi visa to join the campaign. This has been the biggest campaign run by families in order to release individuals who are taken as hostages by the Mujahedin Khalq Organization( the MKO/the Cult of Rajavi), although the security situation of Iraq is not proper as well as the weather.

Lawmakers Welcome Iraq’s MKO Expulsion

Several lawmakers welcomed the Iraqi efforts to expel the remaining members of the anti-Iran terrorist Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization from its soil in the near future.

Seyyed Qasem Jasemi, a principlist lawmaker, in an interview with ICANA on Saturday, praised the Iraqi government’s strong determination to expel MKO terrorists, which reflects the view of the Iraqi nation.

"This is an international terror organization that should have no place in any part of the world," the parliamentarian said.

Iran’s Ambassador in Baghdad Hassan Danaeifar said on Thursday the Iraqi government, in cooperation with the United Nations, has so far expelled 65% of MKO terrorists and the rest will be deported in 45 days.

"The Iraqi government has long sought to expel MKO members, but this process has been delayed due to pressure from the US and some of its allies," Danaeifar said.

Jasemi, who is a member of Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, said other countries will not allow the terrorist group to do what it could do in an Iraq ruled by former dictator Saddam Hussein, because they know such activities are detrimental to their interests.

"With the expulsion of all MKO members from Iraq, the group will near its end," he said.

Desperate and Hopeless

Kamal Dehqani Firouzabadi, another member of the parliamentary commission, told ICANA on the same day that the expulsion of the group from Iran’s neighboring country is a defeat for its western and regional supporters.

Dehqani said the "desperate and hopeless" members of the group are absolutely hated by the Iranian people and pose no threat to the country.

"The Islamic Republic of Iran has so much power in the region that its enemies cannot use the group [to hurt it]," he said.

MKO has martyred over 12,000 Iranian civilians and government officials over the past decades, after the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

In the 1980s, the group, called Monafeqin (hypocrites) by Iranians, fled to Iraq, where it received support from Saddam and set up Camp Ashraf near the Iranian border, and sided with the ruthless Iraqi ruler in Iraq’s war against Iran (1980–88).

There is also a deep-seated resentment toward the group in Iraq, as it assisted Saddam in his brutal suppression of Shias and Kurds in southern and northern Iraq in the early 1990s.

In December 2011, the UN and Baghdad agreed to relocate some 3,000 MKO members from Camp Ashraf to Camp Hurriyet (Camp Liberty), a previous US military base.

The last group of MKO terrorists was evicted by the Iraqi government in September 2013 and relocated to Camp Hurriyet to await their potential transfer to third countries.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization members' families

Mothers, Most Powerful Army to Fight Maryam Rajavi

Members of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO) are victims of highly manipulative technics. Their decision making process is completely dictated by the leaders of the group. Thus, their unconditional devotion to Massoud and Maryam Rajavi does not seem bizarre. What can collapse the bars that extremist and cultist leaders build around their followers?

Based on an article by Daniel Koehler of The San Diego Union-Tribune, “There are three different approaches a country can take against violent extremism and terrorism: prevention, repression and intervention.” The writer states that although Western countries rely on prevention and repression, intervention might be more effective.

Daniel Koehler who has founded GIRDS, the German Institute for Radicalization and Deradicalization Studies, asserts that deradicalization programs work by reaching out to the gatekeepers — family and close friends. He believes that “Mothers are essential gatekeepers”. “Most of the mothers I have worked with who have lost their children to ISIS or other terrorist groups have noticed something changing about their child, but were mostly alone without any outside help”, he writes.

GIRDS counselors try to build support networks around the family. They will teach the family de-escalation techniques to reduce frustration, fights in the family helping their youth getting away from their extremist recruiters.

Destructive cults such as the MKO (the Cult of Rajavi) keep their members away from family, friends, and everything else they had previously known and loved. This separation is their only way to maintain their hegemony over members. Former member of the MKO, Ann Khodabandeh perfectly denounces the group leaders referring to Daniel Koehler’s article:

“This explains why Maryam Rajavi is terrified – and I mean really terrified – by the families who visit Camp Liberty. Rajavi is holding their loved ones hostage and she knows that if her victims have any contact with their families that will trigger an emotional response in their authentic self. All control over them will evaporate and they will never come back.”

Today, you can see elderly mothers sitting on wheelchairs, crying names of their children who are taken as hostages in Camp Liberty. There are brothers and sisters who bring flowers and candies for their siblings who are mentally and physically imprisoned in the camp.

Liberty residents are not allowed to visit their mothers but they are indoctrinated to throw stones at them. They set the flowers -offered to them by their brothers and sisters- on fire. They hide behind the walls because they panic their mothers on wheelchairs!

Iran

Iran official reacts to Abbas meeting with MKO ringleader

An adviser to Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has harshly criticized the recent meeting between Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and the ringleader of an anti-Iran terrorist group.

Speaking on Sunday, Hossein said the meeting between Abbas and Maryam Rajavi, the ringleader of the terrorist Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO), came as no surprise to Iran.

Abbas met with Rajavi in the French capital of Paris late Saturday. According to reports, the two discussed regional issues, and Rajavi briefed Abbas on the MKO’s recent annual meeting.

“That a Palestinian faction that compromises with the Zionists (Israelis) and that has yielded to Israel under US pressure… today meets with terrorist elements is no surprise,” Sheikholeslam said, referring to the Palestinian Fatah party, which is headed by Abbas.

The Islamic Republic, the Iranian official said, was already in possession of evidence of Abbas’ secret collaborations with the United States.

He said the relations between Mahmoud Abbas and terrorist groups and Israelis have been covert and have only become publicized today.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas (R) meets with Maryam Rajavi, the ringleader of the terrorist Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO), in Paris, France, July 30, 2016.

Sheikholeslam referred to the MKO’s bleak history of assassinations and bombings against Iranian civilians and officials following the 1979 Islamic Revolution, and said the terrorist outfit receives support from the United States, Israel and Saudi Arabia.

He also pointed to the move by the MKO to side with former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein in the eight-year Iraqi war against Iran in the 1980s, and said the group maintains its enmity toward Iran with continued Western support.

In early July, the MKO held a meeting in Paris, where Saudi Arabia’s former spymaster, Turki al-Faisal, gave a 30-minute speech to the gathering and expressed support for the anti-Iran group.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry subsequently summoned the French Ambassador to Tehran François Sénémaud to hand him a strong note of protest over the meeting.

Iran and Saudi Arabia have no diplomatic relations.

Saudi Arabia

Former Saudi Chief Spy Infuriates Iranians by Attending Terrorist Group Rally

Turki Faisal has raised the anger of Iranian officials by attending Mojahedin-e Khalgh’s annual congress in Paris.

When it comes to politics, there are only a handful of things that bring Iranians together in unison. Of these enviable handful, opposition to Mojahedin-e Khalgh, MEK/MKO, stands on top of the list. It beats contenders for its ability to unite not only Iranians inside the country and those loyal to the Islamic Republic, but also the majority of the establishment’s critics and opposition groups outside the country.

The Mojahedin-e Khalgh Organization, aka MEK/MKO, described by Bobby Ghosh as "1 part opposition, 3 parts terror group, 6 parts cult", earned the grudge of Iranians early in the 1980s after it resorted to armed opposition and wave of blind terror that targeted not only officials of the nascent Islamic Republic, but also civilians. Yet, it was the organization’s decision to side with Iraqi tyrant Saddam Hussein during his eight year war against Iran that served as the last straw and turned MEK into a national target of hatred.

On July 9, the group held its annual gathering in Paris with its typical pomp and circumstances and hired supporters gathering to voice their support for Maryam Rajavi, head of MEK and self-proclaimed president of Iran. Were it not for some unexpected guests, Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs would perform the ritual summoning of the French ambassador to Tehran after the event and let the story to rest. However, former chief of Saudi intelligence service Turki al Faisal was invited to the event, uttering provocative remarks against the Islamic Republic and wishing for its overthrow. This was apparently more than Tehran could tolerate.

Reactions to Turki Faisal’s speech in MEK’s Paris gathering were predictably fierce. In his Instagram account, Mohsen Rezaei, former Revolutionary Guards’ commander, threatened that if Iran became angry, it would "leave no trace of the House of Saud on earth", a strong reaction even in his own scale. Rezaei accused Riyadh of holding secret meetings with Iranian Kurdish separatist groups in Erbil, capital of Kurdistan Regional Government in Iraq, after which terror attacks were carried out, apparently against Iranian targets, in Iraqi Kurdistan. "Saudi Arabia’s official en the MEK shows that all terrorist attacks carried out in the recent years by this group enjoyed Saudi support."

Tabnak, affiliated with Mohsen Rezaei, followed the same line. "[Faisal’s] official, open support for the MEK, removed all doubts about Saudi Arabia’s support for criminal acts of this terrorist group" the website said. "This becomes important knowing that many of these acts of terror were carried out during the time Faisal held an official position in the highest level of the Saudi establishment" it added. Tabnak also stated that from now on, Saudi Arabia will be viewed as responsible for any action carried out against Iran by the MEK, and Iran reserves the right to show appropriate response.

The hardliner Mashregh News pointed to the unprecedented coverage of the MEK gathering by Saudi-sponsored media, including al Arabiya, al Hadath, and Sky News Arabia. Mashregh News called Riyadh support for MEK, "an out-of-date group", a sign of Saudi Arabia’s "absolute failure in its anti-Iran policies".

"Saudi Arabia has extensive relations with the MEK" said Hossein Amir-Abdollahian in an interview with Al Alam, the international state-run Arabic channel of Iran. Amir-Abdollahian, who recently left his position as Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs, added that remarks by Turki Faisal prove that sponsoring terrorism has been always on Riyadh’s agenda. "Riyadh’s strategic mistake of wielding terrorism in [order to influence] regional developments, will bring irreparable damage to Riyadh and all of us" in the Middle East the Iranian diplomat added.

Another diplomat, Alireza Miryousefi, head of the Iranian foreign ministry’s Middle East research center was less soft-spoken, calling Turki Faisal’s attendance at the MEK annual gathering a sign of Riyadh’s "desperation" and the consequent "stupidity". Miryousefi claimed that de-listing the MEK as a terror threat in 2012 by the US was thanks to "Saudi petrodollars". He also attributed Riyadh’s recent move to its struggle with domestic and regional challenges, and its need to project those challenges to the region. "In its instrumental use of terrorists, Riyadh is playing with fire" Miryousefi warned.

Massoud Rajavi

Saudi chief spy announced the death of Massoud Rajavi

At the annual gathering of the Mojahedin Khalq to celebrate armed struggle, Maryam Rajavi praises her husband Massoud Rajavi’s leadership of the organisation. The crowd cheers and chants. However, during his speech, Prince Turki al-Faisal, Saudi spy master, refers to Mrs Rajavi and “the late Massoud Rajavi”. The translator does not translate the word ‘Marhoum’, an expression of condolence in Arabic. But Maryam Rajavi’s expression shows clearly enough that she understood exactly what was said.

From 1977 to 2001, Prince Turki was the director general of Al Mukhabarat Al A’amah, Saudi Arabia’s intelligence agency, resigning the position on 1 September 2001, some ten days before the September 11 attacks in which 14 Saudi nationals hijacked commercial American airliners. Prince Turki subsequently served as ambassador to the Court of St. James’s and the United States.

Former members of the MEK

MKO defectors revealed the cult at the city of its headquarters

A number of former members of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO/MEK/the Cult of Rajavi) distributed thousands of booklets, journals, brochures, flyers and posters in Paris.

The defectors of the Cult sought to illuminate hundreds of thousands European citizens who have come to France for Euro Cup 2016, on the true face of the MKO as a terrorist destructive cult.

They launched their campaign to denounce the MKO at different streets and squares and locations including universities, churches, art centers, Eiffel tower, Justice Palace and the City Hall.

Survivors of the Cult of Rajavi handed out dozens of the book “Mujahedin Khalq, a cult in the heart of Paris” written by the French Senator Ms. Nathalie Goulet.

The defectors’ effort to enlighten the European citizens about the threat of the terrorist cult of Rajavi in Europe, was welcomed by the citizens.

Regarding that the MKO was launching its so-called annual Great Gathering on July 9th in Paris, defectors worked hard to warn Europe about the reality of the Mujahedin Khalq, the undemocratic atmosphere ruling this cult and its dark history of violence and human rights abuse.

They want Europe to beware that the MKO cult is neither a political movement nor an opposition group; it’s just a destructive cult that has tricked and victimized some of Iranian youth under its inhumane brainwashing and mind control system.

The large-scale campaign to denounce the MKO cult was going on in Paris and its suburb for more than a week.

Mujahedin Khalq; A proxy force

Mr. Gingrich! The Cult of Rajavi Is Also Incompatible with Western Civilization!

Following the terrorist attack in Nice, France, the former speaker of the US House of Representatives called for screening and deportation of Muslims who practice Sharia (Islamic law). He told that "Sharia is incompatible with Western civilization” while a few days ago he spoke in the rally of the Mujahedin khalq Organization (the MKO/ the Cult of Rajavi) and declared his sponsorship for this Islamist terrorist cult-like group.

The former presidential candidate of the United States asked for monitoring the mosques. “Where do you think the primary source of recruitment is? Where do you think the primary place of indoctrination is? You’ve got to look at the madrasas (religious schools), if you’re a school which is teaching Sharia, you want to expel it from the country," Gingrich continued. He forgot or denied to notice that the MKO’s camp in Auver sur d’Oise, Paris and also its bases in Tirana and Baghdad are primary places of indoctrinating individuals with reactionary ideas.

The Iranian-American independent researcher, writer and journalist, Soraya Sepahpour Ulrich updated her Facebook status highlighting Gingriches double standard towards radical Islamists:

“The irony! Gingrich demands Moslems be deported from America a couple of days after he attended a rally in France in support of a Moslem Terrorist Cult, the MEK, funded by Wahhabi Saudis! And not a freaking news stations is making the link! Wake up people…”

Mark Dankof, the American correspondent confirmed Soraya by sharing this:

“Wake up, folks. Soraya Sepahpour-Ulrich is absolutely correct. Check out the Rand Corporation report on the MEK. I witnessed their handiwork in Tehran in the 1970s at a funeral for 2 American officers.”

He also said the deadly attack in Nice was the “fault of Western elites who lack the guts to do what is right, to do what is necessary.” Actually, Newt Gingrich himself is one of those Western Elites absolutely “lack the guts to do what is right, to do what is necessary”. He supports the MKO and bows to Maryam Rajavi while the cult-like group under the rule of Rajavi has a horrific background of extremism, violence and terror. should beware about any group or movement that might endanger their civilization. The Cult of Rajavi is definitely one of those groups that is located in the heart of France. Surprisingly, it is free to buy a large number of Western figures to speak in its luxurious gatherings under the cover of freedom and democracy.

Massoud Rajavi

The man whose midwife was Saddam Hussein, announced dead by Saudis!

In an official MEK (Mojahedin-e Khalq of Iran, aka MKO) meeting, a Saudi guest speaker mentioned that Massoud Rajavi is dead. Prince Turki Al-faisal, who is a member of the Saudi Royal family and the former head of the KSA spy agency, gestured to Maryam Rajavi twice while directly saying “your late husband”.

For a long time the MEK has refused to talk about the situation of their leader and master Massoud Rajavi. They have tried to provide an account in which he is hidden, while many others believe that he died when Iraq was attacked by American forces in 2003. Dead or alive the MEK is still following the rules and regulations which are designed by Rajavi. The Ideological Revolution, which forbids MEK members from getting married and forces them to live collectively in isolated gender-segregated houses and attend self-criticism meetings, is still being followed. These are all standards which were designed by the leader who has disappeared.

Another legacy of Rajavi for this Organization is working for the notorious enemies of Iran, and this is still being practiced. Rajavists became a part of Saddam’s army during the Iran-Iraq war. However, their participation was more beneficial to the Iranians than to their master. In this era they did not have any military or political victory which could change the playing field on their behalf. Information they provided for Saddam was not beneficial either. The MEK lost many of their loyal forces in combat and provided a good source of propaganda for hardliners in Tehran.

After the fall of Saddam and in order to get removed from the US terrorist list, they approached right wing conservative US politicians who were negotiating for a military attack on Iran to stop its nuclear activities. At the same time the MEK enjoyed a good relationship with the occupation forces in Iraq – although after being used, the MEK was thrown away by its American handlers. US military sources who were assigned to interrogate members of the organization claimed that they exaggerated their power and information in a way that throws doubt on all of their claims. Nevertheless, the US left the MEK in the deserts of Iraq and the ongoing war in Iraq has cost the life of many MEK activists.

The third phase in which the MEK has tried to attach itself to a wealthy power is the Syrian civil war. Although the MEK had had a long term relationship with Saudi intelligence, this strengthened since the Syrian war began. During this period they approached the KSA embassies in European capitals claiming they have information to sell about activities of Iranians in Syria and Lebanon. Being so desperate to have anything against Iran, the Saudis began to invest in the MEK – even though the historical facts show that investing in the MEK is not a win win game. It seems rather that the KSA has a propaganda plan for internal use. They are fully aware that the MEK is not what it claims. The MEK provides information from open sources which are not accurate. Therefore, Saudi intelligence’s pay and play with this organization shows that they want to use it for their internal affairs. For example, to show the new King that they are working!

The Saudis have had many failures in their intelligence war on Iran. A former Iranian activist and reformist individual who spent some time in Evin prison 209 section as a high-security prisoner, claims that he had seen two individuals accused of spying for the KSA. Both cases were very humorous, he said. In one case the Iranian national arrested for espionage sold translations of articles and interviews of Iranian military officers published on the IRGC website, claiming that it is confidential information that only he has access to.

The second case involved an Afghan man who was spying for Saudi for a long time. After his arrest he told his cell mates that the Iranian interrogator had information about him which could only have been obtained from his handlers inside the Saudi service. He was mocked by his interrogator for working for people inside Saudi intelligence who were actually working covertly for Iran!

Thus, considering these examples, it can be concluded that Saudi Intelligence officers are trying to grab at anything they can against Iran to satisfy their king. It is very unfortunate for the MEK because the average age of Saudi Kings is usually between 5 to 10 years and after choosing a new king a new policy will be enforced.

The Saudis have accidentally announced the death of Rajavi. This does not indicate a very professional new master for the MEK.
