Why is Maryam Rajavi so hated by Iranians?

These days, admire and hope for the women of Iran is viral but not because of Maryam Rajavi. Given the history of the Mujahedin e-Khalq (MEK), the group is extremely unpopular. It is hated by both pro-Iranian govt people and anti-Iranian govt people. Basically, everyone in Iran hates them.

Maryam Rajavi, and her husband, Massoud Rajavi, are the joint leaders of the MEK also known as the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI). Which all sounds very promising but the true nature of the group and its resume prove the opposite.

In 1979 the MEK supported the Islamic Revolution, only finally falling out with the Islamists a couple of years later. Whereupon they decamped to Saddam Hussein’s Iraq and fought alongside the Iraqi Army against Iran during Iran-Iraq War (1980-88).

Thereafter, until Saddam’s defeat in 2003, they conducted a terrorist campaign in Iran. They surrendered to US troops in 2003 who found themselves in the slightly awkward position of fighting a War on Terror while having to protect MEK which was, at the time, proscribed as a terrorist group by the US government and the European Union. The US interned MEK at camp Ashraf, Iraq and disarmed them. The Iraqi newly established government was determined to expel the MEK which considered an accomplice of Saddam Hussein’s regime. The UN eventually arranged for MEK to be relocated in Albania, Europe.

The MEK itself was and remains a weird and cult-like group, best known for a cult of personality around the Rajavis and imposing celibacy on its members, separating children from parents, isolating members from the outside world and many other cultlike attitudes that violate the rights of MEK members.

Maryam Rajavi wears hijab. Compulsory veiling (forced hijab) is one of the many rules of her cult. Removal of veils is forbidden under the rule of Maryam Rajavi although in her so-called ten-point plan for the future of Iran she claims to stand for freedom of clothing. She does not believe in free clothing. A look at the pictures her female followers who are isolated in a camp in Albania verifies that female mujaheds are not allowed to choose for their clothing.

The MEK is Islamist (with a dash of Marxism thrown in for good measure). It is not democratic. By all accounts, it once had a good intelligence network in Iran, but that was when it was based next door in Iraq, which it has not been for nearly two decades now. They might well be by now just another group of exiles, odder than most, with no particularly deep understanding of what is going on in Iran.

Maryam Rajavi and her ten-point plan

The PMOI or People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran, also known as NCRI or MEK, is a radical political Marxist – Islamic militant organization.

Mojahedin-e-Khalq was founded in 1965 by six radical Muslim students recruited by the Russian Marxist movement to overthrow the Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, and create an Islamic republic. They based the organization in Lebanon to give their early members military training inside Palestinian Liberation Organization camps. They returned to Iran to fight against the Shah with guerilla attacks, assassinating and terrorizing hundreds of people over a decade.

After the 1979 Islamic revolution, in August 1979, Masoud Rajavi, the leader of PMOI, a totalitarian ideological organization, got into power struggles with Khomeini. PMOI refused to participate in the December 1979 Iranian constitutional referendum organized by the Islamic Republican Party to ratify the Constitution that the Assembly of Experts drafted.

[Ayatollah] Khomeini subsequently published a fatwa banning Massoud Rajavi and PMOI members from running in the 1980 Iranian presidential election. The PMOI could not win a single seat in the 1980 legislative election either. The group began clashing with the ruling Islamic Republican Party while avoiding direct and open criticism of [Ayatollah] Khomeini. They restarted the guerilla fight, but this time against their initial comrades in the Islamic Republican Party. As a result, a few thousand innocent lives, including women and children, were taken.

PMOI recruited teenagers and young adults as soldiers with its brutal Marxist Islamic ideology and cult-like regulations, then forced them to organizational marriages and divorces. Some female PMOI members have been ordered to surgically remove their ovaries to prove their commitment to the organization. Female militants are also forced to wear hijabs to comply with the organization’s Islamist ideology, so PMOI does not believe in freedom in any forms, including freedom of belief, speech, or appearance.

PMOI or its allies, including OIAC, have a tiny number of supporters. They do not believe in secularism but instead aim to reach a Marxist Islamic paradigm to control the people of Iran and the middle east for their demonic totalitarian demands. PMOI has been supported by those who never wanted human rights and peace for Iran and the middle east.

Truths can neither be denied nor ignored anymore. We are standing together to fight terrorism in any form. Please stand with us on the right side of history today. Reject Maryam Rajavi and her ten steps plan.

“No to forced hijab, religion and government” a big lie by Maryam Rajavi

The Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) has published a book called “No to compulsory hijab, No to compulsory religion, No to compulsory government” in English, which apparently contains a selection of Maryam Rajavi’s speeches.

For those who have gone through a long and painful experience of being in the coercive relations of the MEK, even the title of the book attracts a lot of attention. How and with what attitude can the leader of a destructive cult who runs her organization by sheer coercion comment on coercion!!

In the case of “no to compulsory hijab”, it should be asked how can a group that does not enjoy any concept called “free choice of clothing” in its relationships claim to say no to forced hijab.
In the Cult of Rajavi, women are forced to always wear hijab. If a bit of women’s hair is seen, they will be dealt with harsh punishments. how can Maryam Rajavi claim the slogan “No to compulsory hijab”?! When all women and even men are strongly forced to observe the type of covering that the group has determined for them, how can they really claim, “no to compulsory hijab”?

all women and even men are strongly forced to observe the type of covering that the group has determined for them

Of course, we all know that using such empty promises is only to welcome the western politicians who are in the next step paid heavy amounts in order to deliver a five-minute speech on behalf of the group. The leaders of the MEK have to mask their fierce face in Western societies so that the current realities in their organizations remain hidden.

When we look inside the MEK’s relations, we see that they act completely opposite to their slogans, and their beliefs are 180 degrees different from what they say. Rajavi knows that if he reduces a bit of the ruling compulsions within the hierarchy of his cult, it will certainly collapse. This is the nature of cult-like systems.

The second phrase in the book’s title is “No to compulsory religion!”. A long list of testimonies of former members of the MEK state that in the cult like structure of the MEK, even people who are Muslim but Sunni are forced to behave according to Shia rulings. Based on many documented testimonies, those who did not believe in any religion and had joined the group for its political cause into, were eventually brainwashed and coerced to act as a Muslim does, performing Shia rituals. If from Maryam Rajavi’s point of view this religion is not compulsory, then what does it mean?

One can talk for hours about compulsory hijab and religion in the MEK. From gender segregation to the humiliation of men before the eyes of women and the handing over of the pyramid of power to women, it all shows the alleged dominance of women over relationships. Under the order of the disappeared leader of the cult, they have been forced to divorce their spouses. No one had the power to oppose but Massoud Rajavi had the power to have sexual relationships with all women in the higher ranks. Polygamy is not forbidden for Massoud Rajavi.
And the other thing mentioned in the title of the book is “No to compulsory for the government!”. In this matter, like in other parts of the title, human rights or democracy has no meaning for Maryam Rajavi.

Once Rajavi used to chant the slogan of “Islamic democratic government”, but now he has taken the word “Islamic” to deceive the West and instead, he is chanting the slogan of democracy. The conflicts of the MEK with other opposition groups over any political issue about Iran should be closely studied. Rajavi does not accept any government except what he says. She criticizes and threatens everyone who criticizes her and considers every opponent opinion as enemy.

Maryam Rajavi has claimed to write a book with such titles. No to forced hijab, religion and government, by the mouth of Maryam Rajavi is nothing more than a big lie. She violates these three concepts on daily basis within her organization. She is likely to intend to impose the same version, that is right now being executed in her cult, on the Iranian nation.

Maryam Rajavi on the graves of mothers of the MEK hostages

Musa Hatamian’s account of the MEK’s approach regarding the death of his mother

Members of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) are not allowed to have any contact with their families during the decades of their presence in the Rajavi cult. They only find out that they have lost their mother when they escape from the bars of the group. The heart-breaking story of the Hatamians indicates the MEK’s hostility with the family. Like her disappeared husband, Maryam Rajavi abuses mothers, their names and their children as fuel for her propaganda machine.

Musa Hatamian is a former member of the MEK. He lives in Sweden now and he is an opponent to the Iranian Government as well as the MEK. In the article that he published on his Facebook account on the occasion of Father’s Day in Sweden, he begins his narrative with the death of his father when he was a child and then with the story of his devoted and kind mother, whose name was Tala:
“My mother Tala, after my father’s death, single-handedly took the burden of raising and educating us and that was why she was very respected by people,” Musa writes.

Musa’s other siblings were also involved in the MEK. Malakeh, the big sister was killed in 1997, according to the MEK. One of his sisters, Farah is still taken as a hostage in the MEK. When their mother was diagnosed with cancer in 2014, doctors warned the family that there was no hope for the mother to survive!

“I had defected the MEK for a few months, and my family members said that Tala kept mentioning Farah’s name and wanted to hear Farah’s voice for her farewell,” Musa Hatamian writes. “Following their cries and pleas, I asked Alan, a senior Lebanese-American UN official, to try to make Farah’s last contact with my mother, and she promised she would.”
Alan was shocked by what she saw in the MEK after she had informed Farah about her mother’s critical conditions. She had gone to the MEK’s then Liberty Camp in Baghdad to visit Farah. Musa Hatamian recounts:

When she came back, she said angrily, “I’m sorry, I couldn’t fullfil your mother’s request,” and weeping tears she continued saying, “when they brought Farah, two senior ladies of the leadership council of the MEK were with her! I said your mother is dying, and she wants to hear from you every day, I got her phone number from your brother, and you can call her. Farah seemed shocked but didn’t know what to answer. But when she looked at the two senior members of the leadership council who were speaking to her in Farsi, I don’t know why she answered me: No, I don’t want to talk to my mother!”

That moment, Alan learned something new and terrible about the MEK. “Musa, I am a girl, and I know no girl in the world can give such a response to a dying mother,” Alan cried, “I am completely shocked today, and I have come to a new understanding of the MEK’s anti-human relations.”
Tala, the mother of Musa, Farah and Malakeh died a few days later. Mayam Rajavi’s propaganda TV channel and websites offered condolences on the death of Tala but under this name: “Mother of Martyr Malakeh”. You are respected in the MEK only if you are dead.

3 decades of life presidency, the prove for Rajavi’s undemocratic ruling

Nearly three decades have passed since the appointment of Maryam Rajavi as the president on 30 Mehr 1372, she is still in power and carries the title of “elected president for the era of transfer of power and sovereignty to the people of Iran”. A title that cannot last for three continuous decades in any democratic structure.

As we know, words such as “election” or “elected”, like many other valuable words, have been emptied of their meaning by the Cult of Rajavi. No democratically elected president in the history of democracy has been able to hold office for thirty years, or rather for life, unless the power structure is a dictatorship.

The remarkable coincidence in the appointment of Maryam Rajavi to the presidency for life was that Almost at the same time, members of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), were subjected to the most severe repressions and organized tortures at Camp Ashraf, Iraq. Massive interrogations, torture, solitary confinement and even the murder of members took place in Camp Ashraf prisons in the early 1990s.

In addition to the above-mentioned honors, the resume of Maryam Rajavi, the president of the so-called National Council of Resistance, during all these years, is a ten-point plan full of contradictions and deception, in which the right to choose for clothing, to choose for religion and freedom of expression and many other democratic rights are claimed to be fulfilled by her in case that she come to power in Iran.

The beginning of Maryam Rajavi’s presidency coincided with the height of the “Pot” meetings –in which dissident members were suppressed under peer pressure, interrogation and isolation. This type of ruling has continued until today in Ashraf 3, in Albania.

Today, the only achievement of Maryam Rajavi, after years of wearing a democratic title, is that about two thousand members of her group are forced to work under the command of the queen like worker bees on the outskirts of a village in Albania, while they are not allowed to leave their hive without organizational control.

And of course, another democratic achievement that can be considered for Maryam Rajavi is a concept called “resistance units”, which is summarized in images of groups of two or three people with their faces covered and being in secluded areas with a photo or a slogan of Mrs. president of whom they probably don’t even know the name correctly. In exchange for receiving a sum of money, members of resistance units are ready to set fire to the buildings in the urban areas in order to display another symbol of the democracy desired by Masoud and Maryam Rajavi.

Maryam Rajavi Banned from Entering Albania

The government of Albania has banned Maryam Rajavi, the notorious ringleader of the terrorist Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO), from entering the country, informed security sources told Tasnim.

The sources said Albania’s counter-terrorism court has issued the ban after reviewing evidence that shows the group has run terrorist activities in Iran.

Rajavi fled from Albania to France in late June, after Albanian police forces raided a camp hosting the MKO due to its engagement in “terror and cyber-attacks” against foreign institutions.

They seized 150 computer devices linked to terrorist activities.

At least one MKO terrorist was killed and dozens of others were injured during the clashes at the camp, known as Ashraf-3, in the northwest of the capital Tirana.

Reports suggest that the MKO terror group member killed in the raid was ‘Abdolvahhab Faraji’, a prominent commander of the terrorist group with expertise in military engineering operations who was in charge of technical and engineering activities during an operation launched by the MKO terrorists against Iran in July 1988.

MKO members spent many years in Iraq, where they were hosted and armed by the former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. They sided with Saddam during the 1980-88 imposed war against Iran and then helped him quell domestic uprisings in various parts of the Arab country.

The notorious group is responsible for killing thousands of Iranian civilians and officials after the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979.

More than 17,000 Iranians, many of them civilians, have been killed at the hands of the MKO in different acts of terrorism including bombings in public places, and targeted killings.

Maryam Rajavi needs blood no matter whose it is

Following the arrest of an ex-member of the Mujahedin-e Khalq while entering Iran, Massoud Khodabandeh former personal security guard of the MEK leader notified the usual technique used by the group leaders to victimize dissident members.

On April 8th, the Iranian news outlet, IRNA reported that an Iranian security source had announced that an MEK member had been arrested while trying to enter Iran from Albania on April 4. This man whose name is Ehsan Bidi has defected the MEK seven years ago but he has under too much pressure by the side of the group because he was a harsh critic of Maryam and Massoud Rajavi.

Massoud Khodabandeh who is now a long-standing critic of the MEK leaders, Massoud and Maryam Rajavi, refers to their background of pushing dissident members towards Iran-Iraq border in order to eliminate them. He twitted:

“I remember days Maryam Rajavi would use Saddam’s protection to force members cross the border only to be arrested & executed? Now she is doing it from #Albania.
She need blood no matter whose it is.
Hope Iranians would not give her the satisfaction.”

International Women’s Day according to Maryam Rajavi

According to Maryam Rajavi the leader of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK/ PMOI), women’s leadership is the guarantee for democracy and equality. She is right but the leadership of Iranian women, not the MEK’s women. Female members of the MEK are symbols of human rights violations. They are deprived of life with its various aspects.

The various aspects life are physical health, family and friends, relationships, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. Experts say that we must know how to balance the various aspects of life in order to lead a happy and healthy life. These aspects of life are absolutely unheard of in the MEK.

On the occasion of the International Women’s Day, the MEK leader speaks of democracy and equality for Iranian women while the condition of women inside her group is disastrous. Maryam Rajavi speaks of forced hijab as a violator of Iranian women’s rights while women of her group are not only forced to wear hijab but also, they are not allowed to choose the design, pattern and color of their own clothes.

MEK women are not only forced to wear hijab but also, they are not allowed to choose the design, pattern and color of their own clothes

She apparently advocates a female revolution in Iran while female defectors of the group everyday reveal new dimensions of women’s rights abuses committed in the cult-like system of her group.

Former female members of the MEK such as Batoul Soltani, Zahra Moeini, Homeyra Mohammad Nezhad, Nasrin Ebrahimi, Zahra Mirbagheri and Maryam Sanjabi have constantly denounced the Cult of Rajavi and warned the world about its threat of sectarianism and violence particularly against women.

France and Albanian states should be vigilant enough regarding the MEK’s presence in their territory. In both countries, the group has bases. Camp Ashraf 3, located in Duress, north of Tirana, Albania is an isolated place in which the rights of hundreds of Mujahed women are systematically violated on daily basis.

Today, women across the world including the Iranian women are seeking new achievements in their way towards equality and freedom but the MEK still enslaves women. Women in the Cult of Rajavi are deprived from the most basic human rights. They can never love or be loved. They must be single forever; they cannot be mothers anymore; hysterectomy surgery is an order from leader. Those in the group who had children have been separated from children. Based on their beauty and their ranking in the cult’s hierarchy, MEK’s women have been chosen by Massoud Rajavi, the disappeared leader of the group, as sex partners.

Western audience and human rights bodies must get to know that female members of the MEK endure severe mental and physical tortures under the destructive mind control system of the cult. Maryam Rajavi’s speech on the occasion of the International Women’s Day is ridiculous. She is one of the most horrific violators of women’s rights in the entire human history.

Maryam Rajavi Knocked out by Iranians in social media

The death of the young Iranian Kurdish woman, Mahsa Amini, after she was arrested by the Iranian morality Police was heartbreaking and was followed by waves of protests across the country but the words of the leader of the Mujahedin Khalq to nobble the protests in Iran in favor of her cult of personality was encountered with hatred and disgust by the Iranian public opinion in social media.

The reaction of the Iranian public against Maryam Rajavi’s tweet is worth to know about her status among Iranians. The so-called president-in-exile of the NCRI twitted as if she is the leader of Iranian civil protests. She clearly calls for violence trying to surf over the recent wave.

Maryam Rajavi tweet and the reaction of the Iranian public against her tweet

In order to evaluate her base among Iranians, one can simply analyze her recent tweet. The number of likes and retweets are almost equal as it is normal in any content that is published by the Cult of Rajavi in social media. The reason is definitely clear regarding the troll farm of the group in Manza Albania who are working in cyber space to promote the group’s agenda day and night.

Nevertheless, the number of comments is at least six times the number of likes. It is worth reading the comments written by ordinary Iranians in Persian. More than six thousand comments were left under the post. The majority of users have expressed their detestation for Maryam Rajavi and her group.

In only one case, one comment addressing Rajavi “Shut up asshole!” has received near three thousand likes. Besides, a large number of celebrities and journalists mentioned Rajavi’s account and criticized her by ironic comments or simply insults. Ali Karimi, the famous Iranian soccer star mentioned Rajavi twitting, “You! Shut Up!”. Just these two words twitted by the Iranians’ favorite athlete has been liked by more than 90 thousand people, and has been retweeted more than ten thousand times.

For four decades, in every international report that has been issued on the Mujahedin Khalq, this fact has been notified that the MEK is widely detested by the Iranian public. However, the recent reactions against the group’s leader in social networks indicate a more revealing dimension of the nation’s antipathy towards a group that has the blood of Iranians, Iraqis, Kurds and even Americans in its hands.

Maryam Rajavi has sent 300 Iranian foreign fighters to Europe: declares Albanian judge Etleva Deda

Gjergji Thanasi and Olsi Jazexhi discuss the latest attacks that Maryam Rajavi, People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran are doing against their defectors in Albania. While DAESH / Jahbat al Nusra in Syria used to kill their defectors, the Mojaheden are using Albanian security officials to attack the defectors.

To download the video file click here
MEK fights from Albania a proxy war with Iran on behalf of Israel. MEK claims that in March 2018 Iran wanted to attack it, and used this justification together with Israel to deport the Iranian ambassador from Albania. MEK claims that Pasdar, Iranian secret service operates in Albania to attack Maryam Rajavi and her foreign fighters. Rajavi is particularly nervous with defectors of her cult. Many Iranians have escaped from MEK and now live in freedom in Albania. This creates a major existential crisis for MEK since the defections are causing the death of the organization. Maryam Rajavi and her first husband Mehdi Abrishamci claim that the defectors of jihad are supported by a number of Albanians. In the past years and with the support of US institutions they have managed to push Albanian authorities to fight on behalf of MEK against the defectors.

On July 15, Maryam Rajavi managed to convince Albanian prosecutor Vladimir Mara and judge Etleva Deda to raid the homes of Iranian defectors. During the search, the police did not find anything illegal. The search warrant released by judge Etleva Deda shows that 400 mojahedens have abandoned the ex-terrorist organization and 300 foreign fighters have smuggled themselves into the European Union. Thanks to the Zionist lobbying on behalf of MEK, Albanian authorities do not jail MEK commanders who have been caught smuggling drugs and humans into Europe and do money laundering.

Olsi and Gjergji make fun of the ways how Maryam Rajavi tries to do money laundering in Albania. They even claim that even if Maryam Rajavi earns money by doing porn, she must justify the source of her income before she can deposit money in Albanian banks.
They ridicule the hysterical attacks of MEK against the Albanians who denounce the illegal activities of MEK and appeal to Albanian authorities to not become tools at the hand of an ex-terrorist organization.
