Representatives of the Association for Defending Victims of Terrorism attended the 36th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council under the motto”Empowering Women Victims of Terrorism as a Necessity for the Future of Human Beings”, and offered recommendations to UN mandate holders, representatives of states, human rights activists, and other NGOs.

The Association proposed some projects to the UN mandate holders to strengthen the role of the UN in protecting women affected by terrorism and emphasized the implementation of such proposals which were welcomed by the UN officials.

ADVT delegate held a side-event on”Empowering Women Victims of Terrorism”attended by experts from Spain, Britain, Cameroon and Iran. They analyzed and explained the situation of women affected by terrorism in the world and offered solutions.

“International law is still incomplete when it comes to protecting these women. During war times, the protection granted by the Geneva Conventions isn’t enough. Besides, terrorism is becoming more complex, so the international community should have a more dynamic approach to women’s protection from terrorism,”one of the law professors said.

One of the prominent and impressive points raised at this side-event was the testimonies delivered by women victims of terrorism. One of the victims was Ms. Manijeh Safiyari who explained how she was affected by a terrorist act.

“I was a 17 year-old girl when I lost my right leg from up the knee in a bomb explosion by Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization in Tehran Bazaar. My mother who was with me was injured and is now disabled. At that age, while I had only one leg, I did my best to keep myself and my family calm and avoid isolation. I continued to study, started college and obtained a bachelor’s degree, and now I drive with the left foot and go swimming. I also participated in sports events in the fields of discus throw, weightlifting, archery and shooting with a pistol, and at last, I joined the darts tournament, and in all of these fields I received a national title and a lot of medals,”she said.

The session is now being held from 11 to 29 September for three weeks.

The Habilian Association, a human rights group formed of the families of 17,000 Iranian terror victims, sent a letter of protest to the French Parliament, reiterating that the MKO is a group with dictatorial structure which is at odds with democracy.

"The MKO not only is undemocratic, but also has a complete autocratic structure which is at war with manifestations of democracy. The blast in Islamic Republic Party on June 27, 1981 is a clear example in this regard," the letter wrote.

The Habilian Association referred to the MKO terrorist attacks which have claimed the lives of 12,000 Iranians so far, including the murder and assassination of dozens of parliament members, and asked whether such a group which has never expressed regret over its terrorist operations in the past can introduce itself as a supporter of democracy?

French lawmakers invited Rajavi last Wednesday in a move to give credibility to the terrorist group.

Speaking to the members of a French parliamentary committee on Iran, Rajavi hailed the western sanctions imposed against Iran over the country’s civilian nuclear program, and claimed, "International sanctions are positive steps. But they will only be effective if the West changes its policy vis-à-vis the resistance."

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

Many of the MKO members abandoned the terrorist organization while most of those still remaining in the grouplet are said to be willing to quit but are under pressure and torture not to do so.

A 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 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 were 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 terrorist group joined Saddam’s army during the Iraqi imposed war on Iran (1980-1988) and helped Saddam and killed thousands of Iranian civilians and soldiers during the US-backed Iraqi imposed war on Iran.

Since the 2003 US invasion of Iraq, the group, which now adheres to a pro-free-market philosophy, has been strongly backed by neo-conservatives in the United States, who argued for the MKO to be taken off the US terror list.

The US formally removed the MKO from its list of terror organizations in early September, one week after Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sent the US Congress a classified communication about the move. The decision made by Clinton enabled the group to have its assets under US jurisdiction unfrozen and do business with American entities, the State Department said in a statement at the time.

This exhibition which was last year held by Habilian Association for the enlightenment of the visitors of MKO crimes draws to the attention of the viewers different aspects of MKO crimes in Iran and Iraq as well as many other countries around the world.

Revealing Mujahedins’ long history of violence and terror the exhibition also indicates their treasonous role during Iraq-Iran war and their alliance with Saddam Hussein while fighting against their own people. It also concerns with the cult-like lives of MKO members, their internal relations, complicated brainwashing and manipulation system within the cult, the rank and file members’ compulsory divorces, MKO propaganda system and their role in the after- the-elections unrests in Iran as well as a full list of over 16000 terror victims mostly assassinated by the MKO terrorist cult.

Another purpose of the exhibition is to keep alive the memory of Mersad operation in which MKO was severely defeated while trying to attack Iran and to make especially the youth know better their enemies.

After the acceptance of resolution 598 by Iran and in an operation the MKO called the eternal light the Mujahedin which were armed to the teeth and fully backed by Saddam Hussein’s regime invaded Iran regardless of international laws; but were mostly killed by the Iranian defense forces.

Seyyed Mohammad Javad Hasheminejad welcomed the group, headed by Sheikh Hussein Khushnawati, to “the Iran’s spiritual capital city”, hoping “a good cooperation” between Iran and Iraq, Habilian Association (families of Iranian terror victims) news website reported.

“Iran’s enemies enjoyed utmost use of terrorist groups”

“The enemies used terrorist groups widely to break the Iranian nation’s unity. The US used the anti-Iran terrorist group, the Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO), in the midst of Iran-Iraq war against our country. The cult assassinated several Iranian senior officials as well ordinary people. The enemies also created terrorist groups in the name of backing Iraq’s Kurdistan,” the Secretary General of Habilian Association said.

“US wants MKO stay in Iraq”

“The MKO is much hated both in Iran and Iraq, since it has committed many crimes against the two nations. However, the US wants the MKO stay in Iraq. The cult is currently planning to intervene in Iraq’s forthcoming parliamentary elections. The MKO, as well as other terrorist groups does not like a secure Iraq,” Hasheminejad added.

“More relationships are welcomed”

“Your association is named after Habil (Abel), the son of Adam, which shows your humane views. By the way, Abel was not willing to do any harm to his evil brother,” Jamal Muhammad, Imam of Halabja Mosque said. “Opposite to you is Qabil (Cane) or the MKO, who fought with Saddam Hussein against you and also destroyed many Kurd villages. We want you to continue holding such meetings,” he insisted.

“I am also willing to continue this. The more security in Iraq, the more friendship between the two countries,” Hasheminejad said.
“MKO assisted Saddam in removing Iran-Iraq shared heritage”

“We have many things in common, but the MKO aided Saddam in removing our shred heritage. We hope to meet you soon in Iraq’s Kurdistan,” said Seyyed Muzaffar Pirkhezri, a university lecturer and chief of Pirkhezri Seyyeds.

“Part of Saddam’s savage crimes in Iraq was committed by the help of the MKO. The cult committed many crimes in Kifri and Tuz Khurmatu and we should say that it many MKO crimes are committed in Iraq’s Kurdistan,” Hasheminejad commented.

“Habilian, the first and only anti-terrorism organization in Iran”

Issa Barzanchi, another member of the Iraqi group, asked Mr Hasheminejad if Habilian Association is registered in international organizations.

“We are the first and only anti-terrorism official organization in Iran and we could manage to collect a full list of Iranian terror victims. We have given the Iraqi officials confidential documents we have gained against the MKO. However, we are not willing to register the Association in international organizations, since they only back those who repeat their words. There have been many talks between me and Western officials, including those in Geneva. They said they didn’t know the MKO, though they supported the cult to be removed from terrorist organizations lists,” Hasheminejad answered.

As reported by Habilian Association website, keeping on its active presence in the universities throughout the country, this time Habilian Association held an exhibition about the crimes MKO has so far committed and their enmity with Iranian nation for the illumination of the young generation especially university students and academics in Tafresh.

In this exhibition which had, like other Habilian exhibitions in the universities, getting the university students familiar with Mujahedin-e Khalq terrorist cult on top of its goals, students with different political viewpoints visited the exhibition.

Some students who were new entries were either unaware of the existence of such a terrorist cult or at most heard that once there had been a band of Iranian traitors who had betrayed their own people during the Iraq-Iran war by fighting on the side of Saddam Hussein. Some students had limited information about MKO treasonous role in France and Iraq and also the assassination of top Iranian political figures during the early years of Iran after the Islamic Revolution.

In this exhibition new aspects of MKO long history of violence and terror were brought to the eyes of the students; images of MKO crimes in engineering operations , in one of which three guardians were tortured to death in a team house, killings of women and children in our cities, mortar attacks on residential areas, manipulation and brain washing methods they imposed on their rank and file members and a full list of names of more than 16 thousand terror victims over 12 thousands of whom were directly killed by MKO formed different parts of the exhibition.
The first comprehensive software program on MKO terrorism – Qabilian – which was very much welcomed by the students and playing the Wolves documentary which dealt with different dimensions of MKO treasons and the money which was given to MKO by the Ba’ath party in return for their betrayal during the war were other parts of the exhibition.

Providing the students with the images of students martyred by MKO, the most complete bank of books with topics concerning MKO, recognition and informing the students of MKO inter-cultic relations including weekly confessions, self immolations and compulsory divorces were other programs of the exhibition.

One of the aims of this exhibition was to make more familiar the younger generation with the crimes MKO has so far committed against Iranian as well as Iraqi nations and to let them know the fact that Iran has suffered serious damages from terrorist groups and is an oppressed victim of terrorism.

Through various books, posters and videos, the exhibition sought to present shocking documents on the MKO’s terror efforts and its ideological and behavioural deviations. The students were introduced to new dimensions of the MKO’s crimes through classified posters on the cult’s background, intra-cult relationships, assisting Saddam Hussein during the Iran-Iraq war, its crimes against Iraqi people, the cult’s propagation and fundraising tricks and some of Iranian figures assassinated by the MKO.

The exhibition also included cartoons on various dimensions of the cult’s crimes.

Recorded by Habilian Association, a full list of 16403 Iranian terror victims ,over 12000 of whom assassinated by the MKO, was also on show at the exhibition. It aroused an increasing sense of hatred of the cult among the visitors who came to know many people assassinated by the MKO were civilians.

The exhibition also revealed the cult’s lies on Tehran Polytechnic University. News of a debate between two Iranian politicians at the university a month ago appeared as an uprising by the students on MKO’s websites. Interestingly enough, the debate began several minutes after the cult’s websites revealed the news!

As in several other universities, "Iran: A Victim of Terrorism" was highly welcomed by teachers, students and the staff of Tehran Polytechnic University. This led to the MKO terrorists’ excessive anger as they failed to prevent the students to bury five anonymous martyrs in the same university just a few months ago.

The following are only a few comments by many visitors who signed the exhibition’s guestbook:
•Excellent, helpful and influential. I feel this should be done in a broader sense for all groups of the society especially the youths.

•I have never believed in many Islamic teachings, however I will never forget the MKO’s obvious crimes, just the same as no one can forget Hitler’s. I hope the world is filled with eternal peace on day.

•I was so influenced by the exhibition when I remembered my own friends martyred by the MKO.

•Thank you very much for your efforts. The Supreme Leader’s comments on the enemies’ "soft war" necessitate exploring the MKO’s role in this regard.

•Quite informative! I never imagined that the MKO had done so many bad to us. Woe to the West that removed it from the terror list.

"US backs terrorists in Iraq"

"The US is backing terrorists in Iraq following the fall of Saddam Hussein," Muhammad Javad Hashemi Nejad said in a meeting with a number of Iraqi Kurd officials, Shia and Sunni religious scholars and journalists. "The Iraqi people were willing to determine their own destiny, but they were prevented by the US as they technically supported the terrorists," he added according to Habilian Association website.

"The US can counter terrorists in Iraq easily if it wills to do so," Habilian Association secretary general insisted.

"US, the main support to the MKO"

"The US keeps being the main support to the MKO, though it considers it as a terrorist organization," he added. "Who can believe that the MKO members are living in Iraq’s Camp Ashraf as civilians? The cult has a 40-year background of terror efforts and it needs to keep it in order to survive."

"MKO’s crimes are unprecedented"

"MKO’s crimes, including assassinating more than 70 Iranian senior officials in a single operation as well as more than 12000 ordinary people, torturing Iranian Guards and civilians to martyrdom and assisting Saddam Hussein against Iran as well as Iraq’s Shias and Kurds, are unprecedented," Hashemi Nejad said in reply to Sheikh Bashir Adil Guli, the director of Shahid al-Mihrab Foundation in Iraq’s Kurdistan, who asked him about details of the cult’s crimes.

"MKO is a terrorist organization"

"The MKO is a terrorist organization and as representatives of Iraq’s Kurds, we are against its terror efforts and want them to be prevented," said Ali Ahmad Ali, an Iraqi lawyer attending the meeting.

"It’s very fortunate that the MKO was fully removed from Kurdistan following Iraq’s Intifada Sha’baniyyah in 1991," said Mulla Hassan Muhammad.

– Some of the documents and information which was shown in the exhibition I have never seen nor heard about before.
– This exhibition fully disclosed the Stalinist nature of MKO.
– Monafeqin (MKO as known in Iran) are much worse than the nonbelievers.
– I really didn’t know a person can betray his own country to this extent.
– Thank you very much for a small exhibition with a huge message.
– Very interesting it was and very shocking as well. I didn’t know Masoud and Maryam Rajavi before. How dirty they are!
– This exhibition is just a part of the "backed by the west" crimes against our nation.
– It’s a pity some people have been deceived by these terrorists.

As a sideline of the 1st regional course for political training teachers in Mashhad, Habilian Association held the exhibition in order to reveal the crimes of the MKO. The exhibition was highly welcomed by hundreds of school teachers from Sistan-Balouchestan, Kerman, Yazd, Golestan, Khorasan-e-Razavi, Khorasan-e-Shomali and Khorasan-e-Jonoubi provinces.

Documents on scandals of MKO leaders, forced divorces and violating women rights within the MKO, the cult’s tricks to attract Iranian youth, documents on MKO frauds, MKO’s vast assassination attempts against Iranian people, the cult’s contributions to Saddam Hussein during the Iran-Iraq war against Iran as well as against Iraqi Shias and Kurds and documents on Iranian victims assassinated by the MKO were on show.

Several software and multimedia products on crimes of the MKO produced by Habilian Association were also introduced to the visitors. Showing documentaries on MKO crimes was also highly welcomed.

The following are only few of the visitors’ positive comments who signed the exhibition’s guestbook:

• Well done! Thank you very much for your great work. It reveals the crimes of terrorist groups to the youth. Please hold the exhibition in other cities if possible.

• Since protecting the Islamic Revolution necessitates holding such exhibitions, I suggest you to hold this in regions close to the frontier, where is more endangered by foreign agents.

• I was always wondering about terror attempts in the post-Revolution Iran and wishing to view a full collection of terrorist groups’ activities against Iran. Now I found my wish fulfilled. I think this should be held in other cities also.

• To me the exhibition was an innovation; that is I had never seen such a full-detailed and informative collection on crimes of the MKO. Thank you very much for all your efforts.

• Thank you very much for this. I suggest you to hold this in schools so that crimes of the MKO will be revealed to the Iranian young generation.

Held at a request by a number of terror martyrs’ families in Pakdasht, the exhibition showed various dimensions of the MKO crimes against the Iranian nation. New and shocking dimensions of MKO’s crimes including their pre-evolution team houses, using sex attraction to make students join the cult, Rajavi’s cooperation with Shah regime to save his own life, intra-MKO clashes to elect a leader, exploring Rajavi’s personality, MKO’s shameful uprising in June 20, 1981, MKO’s mortal attacks on Iran’s president, prime minister and more than 70 senior officials in 1981, their treasons during the Iran-Iraq war, MKO’s contributions to Iraqi Shiite and Kurd massacres by Saddam Hussein, their treasons regarding Iran’s peaceful nuclear program and their current parasite stay at Iraq’s Camp Ashraf were on show.

The exhibition held separately at the office of Pakdasht Friday prayer leader and the Friday prayer area was highly welcomed by Hawza and university students as well as more than 3200 people of various groups, including the city officials such as the governor and chief of the police.

The following are only few of the visitors’ positive comments who talked to the Habilian website on the exhibition:

•This is my first time to visit such a detailed exhibition. I didn’t know about many of the MKO’s inhuman behaviour. I’m happy that I’ve immunized myself against their eclectic beliefs.

•I hope the exhibition will be on show in many other cities, villages and universities in order to inform people about the MKO’s crimes.

•I am an Iran’s temporary history researcher, with parts of my study on cults including the MKO. The cult is moving into decline and misery from the very beginning. I provide my students with detailed information on the MKO as a cult. I do believe that the trend involved in Iran’s post-election clashes is consisted of a few people whose motive is self-aggrandizement, though the MKO claim it is motivated by them. However, the problem is that the MKO is really neglected in Iran.

•I knew something about the MKO’s deceiving propaganda before. I do know that they are trying to show themselves still alive. They have no Islamic beliefs and sympathy for Iranian nation.

•It’s very funny for me that despite of all their treason against Iranian nation, the MKO still claims to love and be benevolent to Iranian nation. The MKO’s treasons during the Iran-Iraq war are not forgotten yet.
