Rajavi deploys his Special Guard to attack families with catapults

After one year families of MKO hostages in Camp Ashraf refuse to go away

Zionist-backed Mojahedin-e Khalq revert to type. The families of MEK cult members held hostage in Camp Ashraf are subjected to violent attacks by Massoud Rajavi’s Special Guard. The cult enclave is surrounded by the families of the people inside who are asking to have contact with their loved ones. The worst fear of Rajavi is for his cult members to have contact with the outside world.

Rajavi deploys his Special Guard to attack families with catapults

Over the past few months the families have begun approaching the fence all around the camp perimeter trying to engage with the members inside and talk with them.

Now, in order to prevent them from contacting the ordinary members, Rajavi has introduced an extra security system to try to force them back. Undaunted the families continue to approach the fence and engage with the MEK’s security force.

Rajavi has introduced an extra security system to try to force families back

The systematic nature of the security patrol is clear. The MEK have introduced extra lookout posts around the perimeter mounted on trucks. There are also mobile patrols which travel the perimeter road watching for the families. When the patrols discover the families approaching, the MEK security forces are mobilised. These forces are organised. They do not engage with the families but are immediately hostile. They quickly escalate the encounter from aggressively shouting at the families to go away and swearing at them, to throwing stones and using catapults to launch missiles (some of them made of metal scraps). This is not a spontaneous reaction but is a deliberate action to prevent the families getting close to the perimeter.

It is notable that the perimeter fence has been added to with the extension facing inward and the barbed wire all on the inside. This is clearly designed to keep people in rather than prevent anyone outside from entering the camp. It should be plain from this that Camp Ashraf has become a prison for the ordinary members.Download Rajavi deploys his Special Guard to attack families with catapults

Ex member encounters a MKO security unit in camp Ashraf

The film shows an Iraqi soldier going to investigate an encounter at one of the boundaries of the camp. The two men on this side of the fence are, an MEK member (in buff jacket) who managed to escape the camp only several months ago, and an Iraqi Farsi translator (in black jacket and holding walkie talkie). The MEK member inside the camp is angrily gesticulating and shouting at the two outside telling them to go away and starts throwing stones.

MKO Expulsion; Joint Demand of Iranian families and Iraqi People

Iraqi protesters in the North of the country have called for the expulsion of anti-Iranian terrorist group Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) from Iraq.

Scores of protesters gathered outside Camp Ashraf in Diyala on Friday and called for the expulsion of the notorious MKO terrorists from the country, a Press TV correspondent reported.

MKO members responded by throwing rocks at the demonstrators.

Among the protesters were the Iranian relatives of some MKO members, who were calling for the release of their loved ones said to be held inside the camp against their will.

Diyala has been the scene of similar protests against the presence of MKO members, whose camp used to be guarded by American forces after the US-led invasion of the country in 2003.

Iraqis accuse the terrorist organization of involvement in the killing of their compatriots during the Ba’ath rule of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.

French refugee Mehdi Fathi dies in Camp Ashraf

Rajavi cult refuses Mehdi Fathi safe passage to France for medical treatment

Mr Mehdi Fathi, a hostage of the Washington backed Mojahedin Khalq (MKO, MEK, NCRI, Rajavi cult) terrorist group died in Camp Ashraf (CIA protected MKO HQ) in Iraq one year after the Rajavi cult (Mojahedin Khalq) leaders refused to allow his return to France for medical treatment.

The leader of the Mojahedin Khalq is a fugitive. He has been in hiding since the fall of his last benefactor Saddam Hussein. But his third wife Maryam Azodanloo (Rajavi), based at the European HQ of the terrorist cult, today blamed the Government of Iraq and Iraq’s Prime Minister Noori Al Maliki, for the death of the hostage.

According to the statements issued by the cult leaders, the deceased, Mehdi Fathi, had been suffering from cancer. He was admitted to Baquba hospital when it was too late for treatment. But the demand for his transfer to his home in France was denied by the leaders of Mojahedin Khalq (Who themselves live under protection of American and Israeli secret services in Paris).

The news of the death of yet another hostage of the Washington-backed Mojahedin Khalq terrorist organisation coincides with a meeting tomorrow morning of Iraqi tribe leaders, Iraqi dignitaries and officials as well as media representatives and reporters at the gates of Camp Ashraf. The meeting includes the families hostages have picketed outside the camp for the last 10 months demanding the simple right to visit their loved ones.

Ashraf residents cannot be safeguarded under the domination of Rajavi

Health and security of Ashraf residents cannot be safeguarded under the domination of Rajavi

Here and there we read and hear that such and such parliamentarian or human rights activist has demanded that the health and security of the residents of Ashraf Camp, the main base of the Rajavi cult in Iraq, be restored. It is very interesting to learn that some people are concerned Health and security of Ashraf residents cannot be safeguarded under the domination of Rajavi about the fate of 3000+ innocent followers of Rajavi trapped in his cult. The aim behind the establishment of Sahar Family Foundation was to follow the best interests of the Ashraf inhabitants. The question is of course how these interests can be fulfilled in the best way.

What has happened in the past decade clearly shows that those Ashraf residents who managed to escape the cultic garrison and were freed from the domination of Rajavi, eventually had a far better fate and enjoyed better and more health and security. The facts demonstrate that those who remain there are confronted by all sorts of threats and dangers such as facing death as the result of suicide, self-immolation, unintended shootings, various accidents and misfortunes, being prevented from leaving Ashraf to go to Baghdad or abroad for medical treatment and so on.

During the last decade, several hundred people have escaped Ashraf Camp and were freed. Many of them voluntarily decided to go back to Iran with the help from the International Committee of the Red Cross and they returned to their families and got their lives back through this reconciliation. The ICRC is continuously monitoring their situation and they can state that no-one faced any harm. The parliamentarians and the activists who are concerned about the case of the Ashraf residents can check this out with the Red Cross easily. Even those who were sent from Iraq, with the help of Saddam’s army, to Iran to conduct terrorism and sabotage activities and were arrested before or after their operations had a better destiny. Many of them have since formed a family in Iran or freely moved to another country.

Those separated members who did not wish to go to Iran were located in the American Forces’ camps and after a long wait they accepted the risks (less than the risks they faced in Ashraf of course) and moved to Europe. Some stayed in Iraq and are still waiting to leave the country to get to a third country. Up to now no security threat has threatened their lives, except on one occasion some years ago when a man crossing the border river between Turkey and Iraq was drowned.

All former members can witness that since they left Ashraf Camp they are in a far better physical and psychological situation. Many of them managed to overcome their chronic illnesses and gain their health again after a while. Inside the Camp their illnesses were ignored and they were even accused of pretending to be ill. The hard labour inside the Camp that the members had to suffer as a means to make them stop thinking has had enormous effects on them and most inhabitants suffer severe physical and mental disorders. Some inside the camp say in secret that the rifle and sickle on the MKO’s emblem should be replaced by a shovel and sweeping brush.

More than one hundred individuals have lost their lives inside Ashraf during recent years in different ways. The MKO terrorist cult claimed that more than 50 people were killed due to the U.S. bombing of Iraq during the 2003 invasion of the country. Eye witnesses who have been able to escape from Ashraf Camp say that none of them were killed in that way and many of those named were killed long before or after the bombings. Some of these people were killed on the direct order of Massoud Rajavi the cult leader. Hundreds of statements have been filed with the Iraqi Judiciary in the MKO’s lawsuit in this regard.

Rajavi has never given an explanation to these murders. His cult has not announced the details of even one case of a member losing their life due to the bombings. The cult agents are in the habit of recording every single moment on camera to use for propaganda. Not even one photograph or film was released to show a dead body or a place devastated by the bombings.

Those who are really concerned about the situation of Camp Ashraf’s residents probably know that Rajavi has on many occasions threatened that if he reaches the end of the line he will order all his followers in Ashraf to commit mass suicide or self-immolation, the same way that happened at Waco and in Guyana.
After the cult prevented Ms. Elham Fardipour from going to hospital in Baghdad and after the murder of Mr. Ahmad Razani, the concern of the families at the gates of Camp Ashraf has about the health and security of their loved ones inside the camp has escalated. They are rightfully frightened about the fate of their children and relatives since Rajavi does not think about anything but his childish goals.

Rajavi’s claim about Ashraf’s blockade by the Iraqi forces is totally false and is cultic propaganda. The leaders of the cult frequently travel between Ashraf and Jordan and Paris. Trucks full of medicine, food, fuel, and other essentials keep going into Ashraf Camp escorted by UN officials and American tanks. Those inhabitants who are fully trusted by the cult go to Baghdad for many reasons. The truth is that the Ashraf blockade is imposed by the cult only and the American forces who wish to protect this terrorist base fully assist them in this.

Sahar Family Foundation calls on all humanitarian and international activists and organizations, particularly those who have expressed their concern about the situation of the residents and wish to do something about it, to come to the place or send delegations to gain first hand observation of the actual conditions there. SFF is happy ready for any kind of cooperation and for providing all sorts of documents in this respect.

MKO Ringleaders Cut Medical Supplies to Dissidents in Iraqi Camp Ashraf

Leaders of the anti-Iran terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) have resorted to various types of torture and pressure, including a cut of medical supplies to ailing members, to suppress growing dissidence in their main training camp in Northern Iraq.

A report by the Habilian Association, an Iran-based huma MKO Ringleaders Cut Medical Supplies to Dissidents in Iraqi Camp Ashraf n rights group said that under the direct order of MKO’s Ringleader Maryam Rajavi, leaders of the terrorist group in the Camp of New Iraq (formerly known as Camp Ashraf) have made any kind medical, health and other services to the members dependant on the level of their cooperation.

Based on the order, dissident members are deprived of medicine and other medical services or, at least, face much hardship and difficulty in procuring their necessary medicines.

The right group added that the new measure came after protest remarkably increased inside the group, especially in the camp. Right groups are gravely concerned that a large number of MKO members may lose their lives soon if UN, human rights and Iraqi officials do not force the group leaders to end their tortures and pressures against the dissident members.

In relevant development, a report revealed on Saturday that Ahmad Razzani, a veteran member of the MKO, had been killed inside the Camp.

The report said that the move by the MKO ringleaders came after they failed to brainwash their inferiors to convince them to distant themselves from their family members who have been residing and waiting outside the camp for the last 10 months demanding freedom of their relatives.

The right group said after the brainwash policy and efforts of the MKO leaders failed, discontent and protest has both widened and deepened among MKO members.

Earlier reports coming out the camp had said that a large number of MKO’s deprecating members started riots and angry protests to end their forced presence in Camp Ashraf.
According to an August report by the Habilian Association, the MKO leaders have increased their pressures and control over the members of the terrorist group to prevent possible defection and escape by unsatisfied members.

Reports also said that all exit and entry doors have been locked and none of the members, even those suffering from acute diseases and illnesses, are allowed to leave the camp.

MKO ringleaders have ordered the camp guards to stage snap inspections of the group’s members and their personal belongings under the pretext of finding the lost weapons.

Such behaviors have sparked discontent among a number of MKO members and made them escape the camp and return to their anguished families.

According to international human rights bodies, the MKO has a completely black record in human rights. Many of the MKO members have 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.
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.

The MKO is behind a slew of assassinations and bombings inside Iran, a number of EU parliamentarians said in a letter last year 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).

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 was 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 MKO has been in Iraq’s Diyala province since the 1980s.

Iraqi security forces took control of the training base of the MKO at Camp Ashraf – about 60km (37 miles) north of Baghdad – last year and detained dozens of the members of the terrorist group.
The Iraqi authority also changed the name of the military center from Camp Ashraf to the Camp of New Iraq.

Call for Rescue of Camp Ashraf patients

Rajavi’s Cult prevents members’ leaving the Camp for medical treatment in Baghdad.

According to the latest information on Camp Ashraf, the Camp leaders do not permit the residents who suffer serious diseases to leave the camp in order Rajavi's Cult prevents members' leaving the Camp for medical treatment in Baghdad. that they are able to receive treatment in Baghdad hospitals. The leaders are especially crucial about those members who are considered as "problematic ". They fear the possibility of their escape in case of their departure from the isolated garrison of Ashraf.

For instance the reports show that Iraqi doctors have insisted on transfer of Ms. Elham Fardipour to hospital but the leaders of the cult procrastinate to send her to hospital since her runaway as a member of Leadership Council might reveal confidential information of the group’s internal relationships.

There are some residents who have been diagnosed of cancer but they are not allowed to go under proper treatment in hospital.

In some cases, MKO leaders have used a trick to prohibit the patient’s escape and to watch him all the time in order that his information on inside of the Camp is not infiltrated by any one. They send to the hospital another member – a more reliable one – with him. The supervisor has to monitor the patient otherwise the group might lose the member.

The bottom line is that barring the prisoners from receiving medical care is a war crime and should be brought into justice in war criminal court. The reports show that several members have so far died in Ashraf Garrison due to lack of proper medical treatment.

Mujahedin terrorist group Kills Dissident Member

MKO terrorist group Kills Dissident Member to Suppress Protests Inside Ashraf

Leaders of the anti-Iran terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) killed a dissident member of the group in a bid to suppress growing discontent among MKO members in its main training camp in Northern Iraq.

According to a report by the Habilian Association, an Iran-based human rights group, Ahmad Razzani, a veteran member of the MKO, was killed inside the Camp of New Iraq (formerly known as Camp Ashraf), about 60 km North of Baghdad.

The report said that the move by the MKO ringleaders came after they failed to brainwash their inferiors to convince them to distant themselves from their family members who have been waiting outside the camp for the last 10 months demanding freedom of their relatives.

The right group said after the brainwash policy and efforts of the MKO leaders failed, discontent and protest has both widened and deepened among MKO members.

The report further refuted the claim raised by the MKO leaders that Razzani had hanged himself in the camp’s kitchen in an act of suicide, and stressed that Razzani’s murder on Thursday was the result of this growing discontent and protests among members of the terrorist group.

The report also pointed out that the Iraqi physician and coroner of the camp has refused to confirm the victim’s death as an act of suicide and that Razzani’s body has been sent to Baghdad for post-mortem studies and forensic tests.

Earlier reports coming out from the main training camp of MKO in Northern Iraq had said that a large number of MKO’s deprecating members started riots and angry protests to end their forced presence in Camp Ashraf.

According to an August report by the Habilian Association, the MKO leaders have increased their pressures and control over the members of the terrorist group to prevent possible defection and escape by unsatisfied members.

Ahmad Razani a member of Mojahedin Khalq killed in Camp Ashraf

According to the news a member of Mojahedin Khalq stationed in their garrison, Camp Ashraf, in Iraq named Ahmad Razani has been killed by the agents of the Rajavi cult on the morning of Thursday 18th November 2010.

The information suggests that the body of the dead member was transferred to the internal hospital of the camp near the main gates on the morning of Thursday 18th and the cult leaders have claimed that he has killed himself by hanging himself in the main kitchen area.
Ahmad Razani a member of Mojahedin Khalq killed in Camp Ashraf
The Iraqi doctor in the hospital, after preliminary checks has announced that the cause of death was not suicide and therefore he has refused to sign the papers allowing the body to be buried and has sent the body to Iraq for post mortem investigation.

The families of the hostages who have been picketing outside the camp for the last 10 month only to get access and visiting rights with their loved ones, have been deeply affected by the news coming out the garrison.

Also some of the survivors of the cult who are currently in Iraq helping the families have been saddened by the news. They once again emphasised their deep concern over the security and the well being of the hostages taken by the cult in this camp and asked the Iraqi and international bodies to interfere in this ongoing human disaster.

One of the survivors of the cult who knew the murdered member, Ahmad Razani, said, “Ahmad was from Lorestan province and one of the long serving members of the Mojahedin Khalq. He refused to accept the so called ‘Maryam Ideological Revolution’ (cult jargon used to make members divorce and leave their children in order to be available to the cult leader Massoud Rajavi as sex slaves) and has been under severe pressure. He loved his family and this was always brought forward as his weakness in the organisation. He had two children (twins called Bahram and Shahnaz) who were deceived and brought to the camp from Europe and have been kept there ever since”.

Another Survivor of the cult said: “Bahram Razani (the son of Ahmad) was in our unit. He had a wide angle with the organisation and did not believe in the ideological leadership of the organisation and wanted to be allowed to go back to Germany from where he had been deceived and brought to the camp in Iraq. He was under constant pressure because of these demands”.

The Rajavi cult announced that Ahamad Razani committed suicide because of the ongoing noise from the loud speakers of the families picketing outside and the pressure these loud speakers have put on him! Of course everyone knows that the real systematic pressures which are being imposed on the trapped hostages inside this garrison (Camp Ashraf) on a daily basis are not comparable with the noise of some loud speakers.

The news from inside Camp Ashraf also suggests that the cult leaders are putting crippling pressures on the trapped members to write reports and in these reports reject their families and swear at them and lie about them. Every member is expected to use the ultimate swear words against his or her family members and clearly announce that he or she hates them all. According to witness statements, the cult members who show the slightest affection for their families or refuse to write reports and swear at them will undergo severe mental and physical punishments including long hours of interrogation, imprisonment and the threat of murder.

Apparently, in the case of the murder of Ahmand Razani, the leaders of the cult, after giving up about convincing him to cooperate, and after using every available brain washing technique resorted to physical elimination and murdered him. As usual they are now trying to show everything upside down and blame the picketing of the families for their own murderous act.

According to witness statements, the leaders of Rajavi cult have frequently announced that they will have to get rid of the families picketing outside as soon as possible because their presence at the gates of the garrison (Camp Ashraf) is affecting the cult members inside the camp (their presence works against the brainwashing tactics they are using on the victims trapped inside).

It is worth mentioning that the Rajavi cult has a history of murder and killings which they frequently announce as suicide attempts or friendly fire or self inflected gun fire or getting killed in the bombardments (in the case of the wars in Iraq). There are many cases of murder in the file of the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation and its head Massoud Rajavi in the Judicial system of Iraq, but up until now the interference of some foreign backed powers has not allowed the system to pursue the normal judicial procedures.

Delegation asks A.I. to help rescue Rajavi cult hostages in Camp Ashraf

Honorable and distinguished President of Amnesty International in France Madam. Genevieve Garrigos

As you are well informed through many revelations which have been accomplished by many freed and rescued former members of pmoi (Rajavi’s cult) in recent months , since eight months ago many desperate elderly people who are the family of some of those captivated members Delegation asks A.I. to help rescue Rajavi cult hostages in Camp Ashraf inside the military garrison ,so called Ashraf base located in Diyali province ,the township of khalis, have been picketing to show their complaint and protest against the pmoi’s leadership and operatives who do not allow them to meet their loved ones in Ashraf which is one of the preliminary rights of any human being. Those mentioned families have been badly threated by the operatives of pmoi whom in many occasions have passed and violated the red line of human rights charter. I would like to draw your attention to some of those violations which are as follows:

The pmoi operatives have slandered and accused those honorable families ,who are mostly elderly people, by bringing some of their brainwashed members to swear and curse those families .

The high ranking members of this cult have attacked those families in the groups of 40-50 and in one occasion one of the woman commanders with the name of Hengameh Haji Hassan attacked those families with a sharp cold arms to harm them but fortunately her vicious and violent act was thwarted by Iraqi police who were present at the scene.
The pmoi leadership have forced and coerced some of their brainwashed members to participate in pmoi TV program so called Simayeh Azadi to swear and accuse those elderly people whom are their relatives. If those chosen miserable members refuse their leadership orders , they will be badly punished and pestered by the operatives of pmoi.

The tough security measures have been carried out inside Ashraf garrison by the direct order of pmoi leadership based in France specially after the escape of 6 members from Ashraf garrison. Two of those escapes have occurred recently , but two other escape attempts were failed and they got arrested and beaten up by the operatives of pmoi.

The people who succeeded to escape mentioned that the leadership of pmoi has intimidated all the members of being tortured and killed by those elderly families and Iraqi police if they try to escape from Ashraf garrison .

The pmoi leadership has mentioned and pointed out that the Iraqi government does not allow those families to meet with their loved ones but this statement is completely untruth and is a big lie which pmoi leadership by telling it wants to cover the real reason.

We are former member of pmoi and human rights activist urging and entreating all human rights organizations specially Red cross organization and Amnesty international to step forward and intervene in this humanitarian incident and force pmoi leadership to allow those families to see and meet their loved ones whom have been deprived of having any sentiment and love to their families because of tough and vicious cultic regulations and policy for a long period of time.

Best Regards
