Mujahedin-e Khalq Cult defectors take action in Germany

Former members who actively denounce the MKO destructive cult held a protest gathering in Koln, Germany on Saturday, September 3rd, 2016, Zanan-Iran Website reported.

Participants at the rally declared their support for the MKO hostages’ families’ certain right of visiting their loved ones. Sympathizing with the suffering families, they urged the human rights bodies to facilitate their visit with their beloved family members.

They also warned Europe about the threat of the MKO destructive cult entry and spread through their states.

The MKO destructive cult is spreading throughout Europe as its members who are under severe Cult manipulations are entering Europe, ex-members reiterated.

Holding brochures and photos of the MKO Cult’s high-ranking members in Germany and France and also giving some information on their clandestine activities, former members sought to reveal the true face of the MKO destructive cult to the audiences.

Hundreds of brochures handed out to the visitors. The brochures included compendious reports on the terrorist activities of the MKO Cult, smuggling terrorists to Europe by fake identities, self-immolation of the Cult members in 2003, … .

In separate interviews at the end of the protest gathering, former members reiterated their support and sympathy to those who are taken as hostages and their families. They insisted that the members should be recognized and relocated as independent individuals rather than members of the MKO.

Were Saudis behind Abbas-MEK meeting?

Three weeks after former Saudi intelligence head Prince Turki bin Faisal Al Saud attended a rally for the Iranian opposition group Mujahedeen-e-Khalq (MEK) and called for the overthrow of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas met with Maryam Rajavi in Paris.

A meeting between Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Mujahedeen-e-Khalq Maryam Rajavi in Paris has sparked both Iranian and Palestinian suspicion about Saudi Arabia’s ties to the Palestinian Authority.

According to the MEK, the meeting took place to discuss fighting fundamentalism and terrorism in the region. Iran, which accuses the MEK of being behind assassinations and bombings resulting in the deaths of thousands over the last 37 years, criticized the meeting. “[Abbas’] problem is that he does not focus on pursuing the rights of the Palestinian people,” said Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, the former deputy foreign minister for Arab and African affairs and current foreign policy adviser to parliament Speaker Ali Larijani. He called the meeting “support for terrorism” and said that it will neither weaken Israel nor liberate Jerusalem. Hossein Sheikholeslam, an adviser for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, said that the MEK is supported by the United States, Israel and Saudi Arabia and called Abbas a “puppet of America.”

Iran is one of the main sponsors of the Palestinian Authority’s (PA) rivals for power in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. According to Fars News Agency, a coalition of Palestinian groups condemned Abbas’ meeting. A statement by the group read that the meeting can only hurt relations between Palestinian groups and Iran, which has helped Palestinian resistance groups more than Arab countries have since the 1979 revolution. The statement viewed Abbas’ meeting as being in line with Saudi policies in the region, and given the recent closeness between Saudi Arabia and Israel, “the negative consequences of this action will be a hundred fold.” Ten Palestinian groups, most notably the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which has close ties to Iran, signed the statement.

A number of Iranian analysts viewed the meeting as an extension of the Saudi-Iranian regional rivalry. An article in Mehr News concluded that the meeting was the result of either pressure applied by Saudi Arabia or Abbas’ “welcoming dance for Riyadh” to strengthen ties between Saudi and the PA. Despite Iran’s support for resistance groups in Palestine, the article continued, Iran has never taken an official position against the PA. In fact, the leaders of the Islamic Republic closed the Israeli Embassy after the 1979 revolution and handed it over to a Palestinian delegation led by PLO leader Yasser Arafat. In the face of regional and international pressure, reported the Mehr article, Iran has supported Palestinian groups as one of the goals of the revolution.

In an article for BBC Persian, Mehrdad Farahmand wrote that some politicians meet with MEK members and take pictures with their leaders, but have little knowledge of their background. However, given Abbas’ history of political activity, he could not be unaware of MEK’s own history. Farahmand wrote that before the 1979 revolution, MEK fighters had trained in Lebanon with Fatah, the political party that Abbas now leads. The two groups had also reportedly fought together with Iraqi troops during the Iran-Iraq War. Regarding the meeting, he found, given Faisal’s attendance at the MEK rally and the Saudi media’s wide coverage and support of the Paris event, it is natural to assume that they are investing in groups opposed to Iran.

MKO defectors revealed the cult at the city of its headquarters

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ex- member of MKO Leadership Council exposes the Cult

Ms. Sanjabi, a former member of the MKO’s Women Leadership Council shared her experiences of living within the cult camps. The Memoirs of Ms. Sanjabi has recently been published in a Book called” Sarab-e Azadi” – the Mirage of Liberty. The Book is in Persian and covers Ms. Sanjabi’s 25 years of living within the MKO Cult affairs.

Ms. Sanjabi was 12 years old when she first got acquainted with Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization. Some years later in accompany with her brother, she went to Turkey to join the group. She lived within the Cult camps in Iraq for 25 years. During her membership she had no contact with her family. She even had no contact with her brother who was also with Mujahedin.

Having lived under severe pressure of cult manipulation for many years, Ms. Sanjabi surrendered herself to the Iraqi forces deployed near the Camp Ashraf gate in 2011.

Participating a press conference in the Iraqi Defense Ministry at the time, Ms. Sanjabi said:

“When I was appointed as a senior member of the MKO leadership council, I was told that I could never leave the organization. Otherwise, I had to kill myself by taking a cyanide pill… Two members of the MKO leadership council were killed some 2 years ago when they wanted to leave the organization.”

In an interview with Neday-e Haghighat Website last week , the former member of MKO’s leadership Council exposed the Saudi financial support for MKO at the collapsed Saddam era.

She talked in detail about Massoud Rajavi’s clandestine visit to Saudi Arabia ostensibly for Haj which the MEK later were forced to admit to. Then, after the First Gulf War, Rajavi received three lorry loads of gold bars and jewelry which was brought to Iraq from Saudi Arabia. The MEK took it bit by bit to Jordan and sold it there. At that time Malek Abdullah was Crown Prince and he was in charge of the MEK and Saddamists. He gave his support for these financial transactions. Sanjabi explains further that Daesh is not a new phenomenon but is a continuation of this coalition of forces.[1]

Families’ presence at Camp Liberty gate gave me courage to liberate myself, Ex-member

Families of Mujahedin-e Khalq Cult hostages gathered together at Nejat Society office; Gilan Branch on Thursday 27, May.

Mr. Esmaeil Fallah Ranjkesh who has recently defected the Cult participated the meeting. He was warmly welcomed by the families. The families were so eager to hear Mr. Fallah’s experiences within the MKO Cult and the way he managed to liberate himself from the group.

Mr. Fallah said:” at first I should thank God for guiding me to be able to find my way out of a destructive cult after 27 years of captivity. I thank God for I can now live my life among my family members …. “

Mr. Fallah referred to the MKO leaders lies about the families and defectors of the group – being all agents of the Iran Intelligence service- and said when I stepped the meeting and among you I recalled those nonsenses.

Mr. Fallah then briefly recounted his years of captivity behind the bars of MKO Cult. He was a prisoner of Iran-Iraq War when the MKO agents tricked him into joining the group:

“ Rajavi had lost a big number of its members at the so called Eternal Light Operation and the remaining members were exhausted of the futile struggle. so as, in a dirty deal with Saddam Hussein, he tried to deceitfully recruit the Iranian prisoners at Iraq’s prison camps.

I had tolerated severe sufferings during three years of imprisonment at Saddam’s Camps. On the other hand I had no information about the Mujahedin Khalq Organization. Hence I was tricked into joining the group and along with some other POWs, I was transferred to Camp Ashraf first as a guest, as they told us.

Witnessing the realities at the group Camp Ashraf, most of the POWs who had joined the group asked to repatriate to Iran. Subsequently, the group shifted to another dirty trick:

Because of staying at MKO Camp for some time, you will be tortured and executed by the time you return to Iran, they told us. However if you insist on leaving the organization you will be handed over to Saddam Hussein’s Intelligence service and will be imprisoned at Abu- Ghoraib prison.

Though time and again I asked to leave the group, I forced to stay with them and tolerate the dictatorial, oppressive affairs of the cult. Finding no way out of the group, I lost several years of my life at MKO Camps.

Eventually, the families’ presence at Camps Ashraf and Liberty gates gave me enough courage and confidence to release myself from the Cult of Rajavi.

I drew my escape plan. In the evening of a stressful day I came out of the container. I looked around and at a suitable moment ran into a gap within the concrete barriers of Camp Liberty. I was full of stress, anxiety, joy and hope. All of a sudden about 10 MKO members rushed after me. They invaded and beaten me. I shouted and asked for help. Fortunately an Iraqi soldier helped me and I went to the Iraqis guarding room at Camp Liberty gate. …. the Iraqis handed over me to the UNHCR representatives. Then I was transferred to Mohajer Hotel in Baghdad. I was very scared because of what I had heard about Mohajer Hotel. As soon as I arrived the hotel I was welcomed by the ex-members of the MKO who was residing there. No harassment, no torture. I could contact my family and Nejat Society head at Gilan; Mr. Purahmad.

However I couldn’t believe what I saw, because of the false propaganda of MKO that I had in my mind. I still thought I would be tortured, imprisoned and executed once I return to Iran. Nonetheless coming back to my homeland, I was warmly welcomed by my family members and Nejat Society families.

Now I can decide my own fate. I live with my family members and in my own hometown; Astaneh Ashrafiyeh City.

The most glorious moment of my life was when I warmly embraced my family members and especially my mother after 27 years.

Every day I thank God for such felicity. ..
