The day a terrorist cult was raided

The decline of MKO began with the US-led invasion in 2003 of Iraq, where it had been exploited as Saddam’s mercenaries who had provided the MKO with sanctuary. Wearing a pro-democratic mask after her husband preferred to live in hideout, Maryam Rajavi reorganized the group’s headquarters in Auvers-Sur-Oise, north of Paris, to give the organization a new go.

On 16 June 2003 the French best-known anti-terrorist judge, Jean Louis Bruguiere, issued a detention order accusing MKO of "terrorist activities, association with a terrorist organization and financing terrorist operations". Shortly after 6 am on 17 June 2003 more than 1.200 police and gendarmerie forces launched the largest police operation in three decades to raid 13 MKO-run offices in outskirts of Paris. The main target was the office of MKO at Auvers-sur-Oise and Police arrested 164 suspected Mojahedin cadres as well as Maryam Rajavi, the leader.

In the next few days, people in some Western cities were shocked to witness one of the most appalling potentialities of Mojahedin; a number of the group’s insiders set themselves on fire just before the eyes of people in public to protest MaryamRajavi’s arrest. According to reports issued by Mojahedin itself, “16 people attempted to set themselves alight in three days in Paris, Berne, Rome, London, Ottawa, Athens and Nicosia”. The human tragedy ended with two deaths; two women, Sediqeh Mojaveri, 44-year-old, and Neda Hassani, 19-year-old, died because of sever burnings.

The self burnings proved, for those yet in doubt, that MKO preserved the characteristics of both a terrorist group and a cult. Following the classic techniques of cults, Mojahedin relies on psychological manipulation and brainwashing to mesmerize the insiders to follow the orders, one of which is to set themselves on fire whenever commanded to accomplish cultic ends of the organization.

June 17th sign of MKO illegality

On June 17th, 2003, immediately after the fall of Iraqi dictator following the invasion of coalition forces to Iraq, the French police raided on MKO’s Camp in Auver Sur d’Oise on Parisian country side where Maryam Rajavi (who had just escaped from Iraqi Camp Ashraf that was offered to MKO by their ex-supporter Saddam Hussein) was arrested together with 160 of other members of MKO. The raid showed the awareness of French government about the risk of transference of Camp Ashraf Iraq to Auvers Sur d’Oise after the collapse of Iraqi Baath government that had been financially and militarily supporting MKO for about 3 decades.

The act of French Police against MKO led the West to be enlightened of the illegitimate presence of MKO in Europe, signifying the ambiguity of the group’s activities for ever. As a reaction to the move of French Police, MKO leaders made their members set themselves ablaze, causing tragic impressive scenes in European capitals. The self-immolations just provided the accuracy of the accusation Police made against MKO.

Following the Police raid, DST (French Intelligence Service) issued a report in which it was declared that the Police succeeded in finding large amounts of money and some documents on MKO possible plans to launch terrorist operations from their bases in the West. The story didn’t end with the raid but the French government has been supervising Mujahedin Khalq that is still under juridical prosecution.

June 17th, 2003, is a historical chapter in the anti-terrorism challenges around the world and removed the mask of human right claims from the face of MEK as a notorious terrorist cult. That event announced that the group is still loyal to its violent strategy both in Iraq and in the West and it has always the potentiality to commit terrorist acts.

MEK cult has never had a positive background since it has always deprived its members from living a free life without the manipulative controlling system of the cult. Besides, MEK’s history is a bunch of violent activities. Considering the entire notorious story of MEK, today the world’s public opinion is the best judge to recognize the true nature of terrorist groups.

The way Mujahedin approaches the world has no use for them except their further isolation among Iranians as well as the world. MEK views its former members as an obstacle against their deceitful approach towards the world. Therefore, as its last resort, MKO doesn’t stop insulting the ex-members labeling them as the agents of IRI.

French judges tough with terrorist MKO

Reported by Ayandenews , a new round of French courts’ investigating MKO leading cadres, including Maryam Rajavi and Mehdi Abrishamchi, for the terrorist charges has dropped the rankings just in the middle of a mare’s nest. The ranking leaders under the investigations are facing charges of terrorist plots in Iraq, Iran and Turkey as well as illegal activities of laundering and the like.

The leaders had already circulated among the cadres that they had arrived at a compromise with the European countries on many issues and that they could possibly face no problem therein.

The move by the French judges has made it really hard for the leaders to justify what is going on. It may intensify the challenges the organization is already facing as well as causing the members to lose their trust in what the leaders implant in them.

Despite having good lobbies in European parliaments, Maryam Rajavi’s base in Auvers-sur-Oise was unexpectedly raided on June 2003 and she was arrested along with a number of ranking members. It was only after the widespread self-immolation of members that Maryam Rajavi was set free. The organization is not acquitted of the terrorist charges and the French counter-terrorist forces closely monitor any move that may threaten the security of the country.

A serious mistake may never repeat

Never thought to be so, the presence of MKO in France has turned to be a domestic controversial issue. In spite of being removed from the EU list of terror, the French authorities are well aware of its cultic threat that might jeopardize the nation’s security. The challenge France is faced with has its roots in the time when the hijacked Iranian plane in 1981 landed in Louvre airport where Masoud Rajavi was welcomed with nobody taking the consequences of this action into consideration. It is likely that the reason was the position of France among the European countries due to its great revolution and well-known slogan that all great revolutions of the world have their roots in the cafés of France. Thus, they considered it an honorable action to support this group. However, they failed to recognize that the nature of Rajavi’s group was different from that of great revolutionary leaders and social peace-lovers. Here we refrain to judge whether French authorities had other hidden reasons for admitting Mojahedin or not. It suffices to the point that France leads all European countries in welcoming oppositions and consequently, has accepted Mojahedin disregarding their true nature.

Soon France found out the true identity of those to whom political refugee was given, yet their next activities in foiling their efforts seemed futile. They managed to expel Rajavi in 1986 but they were unaware that the issue of the presence of Rajavi and his followers in France had not come to an end and was turning to a real challenge for France. An instance is the fact that since then, Mojahedin have commuted between Iraq and France at will and also turned France into their central domicile among European countries. In addition, they have many security and legal cases on investigation in French courts and are under close surveillance of DST since their residence therein. The reports show that Mojahedin have broken all the norms of refugees and have committed all kinds of crimes under the cover of their political refugee status as an opposition fighting for freedom and democracy.

The crimes committed by Mojahedin are so numerous that this article fits not to include all, yet French authorities are well aware of them. Furthermore, there are other crimes and misdeeds of Mojahedin that France has to conceal due to political and diplomatic considerations. These crimes have been registered and described fully in the judiciary and security organs of France and are not to be reviewed here. As it was said before, France was unaware that Rajavi was not an ordinary political figure, rather he formed a very complex and expensive organization that would pave the way for the activity of his followers in France after drawing them back from Iran as a result of suffering a great defeat in guerilla warfare policy inside Iran. Giving leave to these forces to enter France was the second strategic error of France while it had been revealed that Auver-sur-Oise was the centre of terrorist activities of Mojahedin.

Inrush of these forces to France was the best advantage for Rajavi since they made the ground for him to strengthen his organizational establishment in France. It took 5 years until the time when France could recognize the adverse effects of the presence of MKO members in France and decided to force them out whereas it was not the end of the scenario as France paid most costs when Rajavi had formally left France. In fact, just the head of the organization had been driven out while its body that consisted of time bombs remained there.

France made some other mistakes too and the third one was letting Maryam Rajavi to reside in Auver-sur-Oise after the fall of Saddam. It suffices to point out that Maryam Rajavi returned to France along with 400 members of the so-called leadership council of Rajavi and only God knows the severe and terrible phases that they had passed to gain the qualification of safeguarding Maryam Rajavi. As Rajavi stated, they were the most faithful ideological members of MKO and had the responsibility of keeping Maryam and Masoud secure against all assaults and offenses.

On the potential competence of these members, it can be said that some of them were even inferior to the members of council of leadership. However, they were experts of some kind and shocked the world and Europe by their suicidal actions like self-immolations in Paris streets to force French government to set Maryam Rajavi free to immunize her against further threats. In fact, our warnings on prohibiting the entrance of the remnant members to France aimed at preventing the integration of the head and body of MKO; the imminent disastrous event maneuvered on by Mojahedin has occurred years ago upon the entrance of Maryam Rajavi and 400 members of council of leadership.

Mojahedin are afraid lest French authorities put their negligence in last decades aside and make the grounds for separation of the head and body. Ashraf residents, except for those who seek to detach from MKO, are like the cells and organs of this monster that would show their true nature after joining other cells and organs and the head. All the costs paid by France up to now has been just a result of the existence of the head of the organization and their primary task at the time being is to stop the joining of MKO highrankings and rank-and-file in Auver-sur-Oise or any other place in France.

In a nutshell, the disaster has occurred since many years ago and has targeted France. The entrance of Ashraf residents to Auver-sur-Oise means the end of a long-time project that Rajavi plotted long before when he lost his ideological and strategic ally and patron, Saddam, in Iraq. It is an issue of high significance for them and tied to their destiny. It is an issue of high significance for Mojahedin to recoil to the same bastion they once migrated to Iraq. But will French authorities make the same mistake, this time not a bunch of political campaigners but the most experienced terrorists trained under Saddam, to let them in? Auver-sur-Oise deserves to remain a calm, picturesque resort for Parisians than becoming a military citadel for terrorists and cultic practices.

Mr.Kouchner; P.M.O.I is a terrorist cult

We are the former members of PMOI( people’s MOJUAHEDIN organization of IRAN) , whom recently could manage to leave Iraq and safely reached to European countries. We had lots of obstacles and hurdles on our path to the free world such as possibility of being arrested and extradited to IRAN and dreadful dangers which exist in IRAQ daily because of sectarian conflicts, but successfully solved all the problems and after putting behind all those hurdles , fortunately we could reach to EUROPE safe and sound.

Now , we are in PARIS and we want to have a normal life in free and democratic countries such as FRANCE, and also we would like to notify all the human rights’ organizations as well as the governments and politicians about the dangers of this inhumane cult(RAJAVI’S CULT) and its representatives and operatives who are propagandizing and plotting in the favor of their terrorist cult and its destructive cultic ideology, in EUROPEAN countries as well as in USA by their agents ,right now. They have concealed themselves behind democracy and freedom to hide their dreadful past to prevent others knowing of the terrible crimes that they have done during these years.

This inhumane cult, which has assassinated American colonels and generals during the SHAH’S time(THE KING ) and had a very robust and powerful cooperation with the late dictator of Iraq(SADDAM HOSSEIN) in suppressing and repressing IRAQI people specially the KORDS, during the national uprising against SADDAM HOSSEIN and his government as well as oppressing its own members and dissidents inside the cult which many of them were vanished or killed by the operatives of this cult during past twenty years. We were all suppressed and oppressed every now and then by the operatives and commanders of this cult in different cultic gatherings and sessions such as CURRENT OPERATION(AMALIYATE JARI ),DIG ,DIGCHEH,GHOSLE HAFTAGHI, and etc. These gatherings and sessions were all suppressive tools to demoralize and punish the dissidents and members.

We are ready to testify against the crimes that PMOI have done . We are all victims of this cult whom have been tortured physically and psychologically by the cultic criminals in this notorious cult. PMOI is a terrorist organization and should face the consequences of killing innocent people of IRAQ as well as mistreatment , misbehavior , torture and killing of the dissidents who were against RAJAVI’s cultic terrorist ideology inside the cult. We are witnesses of killing and murdering of many members inside the cult such as killing of MR.GHORBANALI TORABI and MR. FARHAD TAHMASEBI in 1994 and many others under sever torture As well as committing suicide of MR. AHMAD REZAPOUR as a result of too much physical and psychological torture in this cult.

We are ready to reveal the crimes which have been perpetrated and carried out by PMOI operatives and its leaders MASSOUD and MARYAM RAJAVI. We are ready to reveal the killing of many dissidents such as MR.SAEED KIYANI ,who was drowned by the operatives and torturers of this inhumane cult just because he wanted to separate and secede from this cult to go to his normal life, and many others. We are ready to testify about committing suicide of desperate people in PMOI who were under sever physical and psychological torture by operatives of this cult. We know them by names and we are ready to testify in any court of law.

We have lots of information which substantiate and prove that this organization is a criminal and terrorist cult and the operatives and the leaders of this cult should be put on trial in the court of law. We, the victims of this cult, are ready to participate in the court of law to testify about the crimes which have been implemented and carried out by this cult.

We urge all the humanitarian organizations, UNITED NATIONS, AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL, ICRC, HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH, and the government of FRANCE to help us to put those criminals on trial. They are very dangerous and their cultic ideology is suppressive and destructive.

We want to inform and notify all the governments and countries specially EUROPEAN and NORDIC countries to be aware of the presence of the RAJAVI’s cult agents and operatives on their land because, these agents and operatives are taking advantage of these countries’ democracy and freedom to propagandize their terrorist cultic ideology in there. Actually the operatives and the agents of this cult are recruiting IRANIANS who are living in free and democratic countries, by deceiving and inciting them to go to IRAQ or work for them in European and Nordic countries to propagandize the cultic ideology of this terrorist and suppressive cult (RAJAVI’s cult) in these countries under direct control and supervision of MARYAM RAJAVI one of the leaders of this cult, in their main headquarter in PARIS.

We want to see the justice to be done for the inhumane crimes which have been implemented by the RAJAVI’s cultic criminals, against people of IRAQ and the dissidents and members of this cult whom we are part of those dissidents. For that reason we are ready to participate in any court of law to testify about our terrible observations of crimes which were perpetrated by the operatives and leaders of this cult. We have lost everything in our life as a result of being kept forcibly in this cult. we are the real victims ,both PMOI and ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN destroyed and ruined every valuable things we could have them in our life today. we are deserved to see the justice to be implemented .

For French diplomacy: PMOI remains a terrorist group

Bernard Kouchner, French Foreign Minister, replied on December 10 at the French Senate in a matter of a senator and has declared that”France is indeed in favor of retaining the Mujahedin (PMOI/MKO) on the European list of terrorist organizations. He added that”this movement, mainly based in Iraq, poses a number of problems.”French diplomacy, as a large part of European diplomacy, seems not to be deceived by the charming champagne of PMOI / NCRI (the two covering names of terrorist Mujahedin Khalq Organization).

All this falls very badly for the terrorist Mujahedin organization, including the latest members of its military organization, will soon be expelled from Iraq where Saddam Hussein had hosted them as performers of its dirty crimes.

Sobhani pens letter to Minister of Affairs of the Republic France

Dr. Bernard Kouchner Minister of Affairs of the Republic France
During the time since the fall of Saddam Hussein’s regime and the forced disarmament of the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation by the American army, the Mojahedin have been trying to put a mask on their violent, terrorist faces in Europe and America in a bid to remove the organisation from the list of terrorist entities in US, EU and Canada and ….
Unfortunately On last Monday EU ministers removed the MKO from their list of terror organizations, following a European court ruling in favor of the group, which has accepted responsibility for many deadly attacks against Iranian and Iraqi civilians and cooperated actively with the regime of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.
Unfortunately, the EU’s act of removing this group from its list of terrorist entities has not been based on any credible investigative work.
When PMOI whispers statements denouncing terrorism, it is not referring to its own acts. Rather it means the acts of others that fall within the group’s own definition of terrorism. This is a trickery by which PMOI continues to deceive your politicians.
In your opinion, does a terrorist group which has been disarmed after the fall of Saddam Hussein by the US army and exists in quarantine within a limited geographic boundary inside Iraq, have any opportunity to perform terrorist activities?
Surely your answer must be ‘no’, as they have had no access to arms. Therefore the reasoning that “they have not performed any terrorist act” in the short time mentioned could not in any way be considered as a professional, specialist’s argument for the leaders of European Union. Or could it?
If the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation had access to arms and had refrained from carrying out further terror acts, then in that case perhaps the group would have had to announce this in a clear public statement signed by the leaders Massoud and Maryam Rajavi, then this might have been proper grounds to consider the situation and perhaps investigate the organisation’s intentions deeper. But that was not the case now.
But fortunately, your good self, as the highest authority in the French government have announced that you consider the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation a terrorist organisation and Figaro newspaper has quoted from you:
“France, as do Belgium and Germany, continues to consider this group (Mojahedin Khalq Organisation) as a terrorist organisation”.
I have enclosed a small sample of the evidence which has already been made public concerning the MKO. The charges against the MKO and in particular its leaders include but are not limited to: crimes against humanity and war crimes inside and outside Iran; deliberately targeting civilians in acts of terror; close co-operation with the secret services of Saddam Hussein against Iranians during an 8 years war in which chemical weapons were used against Iranian people; close co-operation with other hostile spying services and spying programs against the best interests of the people of Iran and Iraq; suppression and massacre of Kurds and Shiites in Iraq on the order of Saddam Hussein; criminal misuse of the democratic institutions of a majority of European countries and the US through fraud and deception.

France files appeal against”Mujahedin Khalq Organization”terrorists

France says it has filed an appeal to an EU court to keep the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) on a list of banned terrorist groups.

"Our appeal was filed the day before yesterday," said Foreign Ministry spokesman Frederic Desagneaux Friday. On Thursday, an EU diplomat said the bloc had decided to remove the anti-Iran group from the EU list of banned terrorist groups. The source, who was speaking on condition of anonymity, said EU foreign ministers should approve the consensus before it can be fully implemented.

MKO terrorists, banned by many countries including the US, have claimed responsibility for numerous terror attacks inside Iran since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. The group is also responsible for assisting Saddam in the massacre of thousands of Iraqi civilians. The EU move to remove the MKO from its banned terrorist group list has provoked widespread condemnations inside Iran as well as among the families of the terror attacks victims. The French spokesman said Friday that Paris was pressing ahead with the appeal to keep the anti-Iran group on the list.

Iran divides French Parliamentarians

For or against the regime of Tehran:Iran divides French Parliamentarians

Iran divides French parliamentarians, in their political disagreement, to right as well as left. More than 290 of French deputies have recently singed a call for the support for Mujahedin Khalq Organization of which the leader, Maryam Rajavi is exiled in France Auvers-Sur-Oise. A group called “coordination Parliamentary”, solicited by Jean-Philippe Maurer the deputy of UMP, and Jean-Pierre Brard, the communist representative are working for the removal of the name of the movement from the list of terrorist organizations of the European Union.

These activities that are relied of the recent decision made by a British court in favor of the Mujahedin, count on finding a positive opinion by Nicolas Sarkozy during the French presidency in EU. “We support this Iranian opposition group because it’s the only democratic foundation that struggles against the regime of Iran,” estimated Jean-Philippe Maurer. The deputy of Strasbourg refuses the critics that have been presented against the organization of Maryam Rajavi since 2003. Following a police raid, many militants set themselves on fire. The leaders of National Council of Resistance of Iran, the political cover of these dissidents, are still under investigations. ” Since 2003, this organization has moderated its excessive behavior.” revealed Jean-Philippe Maurer.

Lobbying Activities in Elysée

Among the same ranks of the French Assembly, other deputies of UMP totally disagree.” The parliamentarians who singed this call for support do not know the situation in Iran well.” Says Didier Julia, vice-president of the France-Iran group, “Iran is not such a simple state. It is led by Experts Council and the execution of the laws is performed by three different sources. In my opinion, People’s Mujahedin enjoys a very small support. They are very weak inside Iran. Instead, France should reinforce its relations with Iranian civil society and the Iranian government in order to achieve the public liberty. It’s not the regime change that we should look for. Iran can evolve gradually, like Syria.”

Whose lobby is more effective towards the French Parliament members; The Iranian dissidents or the representatives of the Iranian State? Didier Julia declares that the diplomatic advisor of Nicolas Sarkozy has the same opinion as he has.

Jean – Philippe Maurer thinks that the debates on Iran have not reached a clear position, in Elysée.

Dear Mr, Berbard Kushner you are correct

Dear Mr. Bernard Kushner,

The esteemed Foreign Minister- the Republic of France

I wish to thank you for your recent statement on the Iranian group- PMOI

As you are aware, I have known this group up close for years and continue to monitor its activities on a daily basis.

You are correct in your recent assessment of the terrorist nature of the PMOI. This group has never denounced violence and terrorism in its Persian publications; and indeed continues to endorse and promote them. The recent unclassified reports by the group’s own former members do support our existing knowledge of the group and its nature. PMOI is a dangerous cult that naturally deserves to remain in the EU terror list. NCRI is just an alias for the PMOI under which it continues to operate in the EU. In 2004 the US State Department realised this and banned both entities. I hope that the Republic of France would lead the efforts to do the same for the EU, so that PMOI would not continue to ridicule our democratic values.

Happy New Year

Ahmad Baaraan
