Representatives of Iranian Families of terror victims called for the European Parliament not to permit terrorist Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) to carry out any action in Europe.
The representatives also expressed their readiness to provide evidence showing the MKO crimes.
"Presence of Maryam Rajavi, one of the top leaders of the MKO in the European parliament and her speech against the Islamic Republic of Iran, created a good opportunity to reveal performance and terrorist background of the group," the representatives said in a statement.
The statement highlighted the terrorist measures of the group killing 12,000 Iranians including women and children after victory of Islamic Revolution and its help to army of the former Iraqi President Saddam Hossein and Baath regime security services.
"We as representatives and children of 16,000 families of terror victims that 12,000 thousands of them have been murdered by the terrorist group’s attacks call for you not to let the group carry out any activity based on European and international rules." "We are ready to provide you with evidence of crimes of the group."
The Iraq-based MKO is listed as a terrorist group by many international organizations and some countries.
The MKO founded in 1960s and has masterminded a large number of terrorist attacks in Iran and Iraq, killing and injuring thousands of people.
The US troops disarmed the MKO terrorists following the 2003 US-led invasion on Iraq. Members of the group are now based at Iraq’s Camp Ashraf.
Former Iranian President Mohammad-Ali Rajaei, Prime Minister Mohammad-Javad Bahonar, and Judiciary Chief Mohammad Husseini Beheshti are among victimes of the group’s attacks who all were assassinated in 1981.
The Statement of Justice Society, Terror Victims families, in condemning the France’s backing of the MKO
28 June 1981 is the anniversary of the assassination of 72 outstanding members of the biggest Iranian Party. They were martyred in Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization’s terrorist operation. This is another evidence of the crimes of this terrorist organization. MKO began its operations before the Revolution and up to now has murdered 12000 people.
We are the families of the victims who have been killed by the MKO terrorists. Since we have realized the malicious nature of this cult with all our hearth and soul, condemning terrorism in any form, we believe that:
At the outset of third millennium, the history witnesses another black era of the sovereignty of sect-like thoughts which do not present any gift other than terror and aggression. The innocent people’s blood is the only fund of such a thought which intends to destroy humankind. Undoubtedly Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization with its countless crimes is the clearest evidence of this type of inhumane thinking.
Mojahedin-e Khalq terrorist organization has perpetrated various crimes including kidnapping, high jacking, armed robbery and attacks on civilians and military forces. It has displayed terrorism in the most horrible forms like setting the corpse on fire or chopping them up.
It is quite surprising that this organization which has itself confessed to the assassination of American counselors in Iran and murder of Iraqi Kurds and Kuwaiti youths- whose corpse were unearthed in Ashraf Camp- now enjoys the complete support of western powers such as France. France has now turned into a safe haven for the anti-human activities of Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization. In spite of the existence of tens of international and regional conventions which condemn terrorism and emphasize on the necessity of encountering its operatives, how would French politicians respond the Iranian terrorism victims’ families for their illegal backing of the MKO. Mojahedin-e Khalq organization has recently deployed several terrorist groups to Iran for planting bombs in different parts of Tehran. This reality obviously proves that this organization not only doesn’t want but also can not abandon its treacherous and terrorist nature.
Indeed, how French politicians allow a terrorist organization that has confessed to the murder of 12000 children of this country, to hold anti-Iran gatherings and demonstrations? Isn’t it the evident violation of international laws? How could an organization, whose terrorist and sect-like nature has been approved by various documents released in European and American countries, deserved to be removed from European Union list of terrorist organizations? How is it possible that the MKO leaders who had been arrested in 2003 under the charges of terrorism and money-laundering now freely attend in European parliaments and fabricate lies?
French statesmen must know that the world public opinion and Iranian nation who have experienced the bitter taste of terrorism can never realize the logic behind such a dangerous measure. They ask this question that ‘isn’t it a threat to the global community to let this terrorist organization be free’? Wouldn’t the classification of terrorism to Bad and Good categories, expand the activities of similar groups? Have you pondered over the consequences of these supports? Is there any guarantee for abandoning terrorist acts by MKO members?
On this basis, we, the Families of Terrorism Victims, strongly request France and other European countries to take into account the contents of the Security Council Resolution 1373, which criminalizes any type of support from terrorists, considers them as prosecutable, and necessitates all member states to cooperate in the process of fighting against terrorism. In this regard another question comes to mind: Supporting Mojahedin-e Khalq terrorist organization is not an obvious violation of Resolution1373?
Consequently, we, the descendents of victims of terrorism condemning any western support from Mojahedin-e Khalq organization, call for the insistent encounter of these countries and international bodies with MKO leaders.
On 19 June 2010, a large hall in Paris was a place of a meeting of more than 200 former members of MKO (Rajavi cult), families of present members trapped inside the cult in Iraq, and a number of reporters and human rights activists.
In this meeting titled “rejecting violence, terrorism and cultic behavior, as well as aiding the families of the victims of Rajavi cult in Ashraf garrison in Iraq”, dozens of foreign personalities, reporters and camera men from various organizations and media were present.
A new round of activities of Sahar Family Foundation
Patience, Dawn is Breaking
A word with our readers
Dear readers
As we enter a new round of activities of Sahar Family Foundation and announce the launch of the site a new format, we wish to communicate with readers of the site and friends and supporters of SFF.
SFF was established in Baghdad around three years ago by some former members of the Rajavi cult (Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization – MKO) who had managed to escape from this destructive cult and get out of Ashraf garrison. They started everything from scratch, with practically nothing in hand.
The aim in establishing this Foundation was to help those freed from the cult in Iraq, as well as the families of those still trapped inside Ashraf garrison, who had wanted to visit their captive beloved ones for more than two decades.
This responsibility seemed difficult from the beginning and the process proved to be even more difficult than it looked in the first instance. Our facilities and resources were very limited compared to the enormity of our task. Nevertheless, our fellow countrymen in various countries as well as humanitarian organizations and individuals in Iraq helped us in this regard.
As some of our members moved to Europe and because of the high amount of legal work involved in participating in the legal file opened against the MKO in the Iraqi judiciary, and also taking care of the travel and residence arrangements of the desperate families and the former members, the SFF site was practically in a state of stagnation and our resources were used for what was considered to be more vital. During this period the task of issuing information was mostly done by the sites of Iran-Interlink in Britain and Nejat Society in Iran who effectively did what was actually our job.
During this period, the office of SFF in Kazemein was subject to a terrorist attack. We decided to keep silent in this regard and all we did was just to move our office to a new place. Of course we continued with our job even more seriously. The site too was attacked by hackers. Our friends in Europe managed to turn it back to normal after sometimes using a lot of efforts. These subversive activities however did not stop us from fulfilling our duties and responsibilities.
Now we feel obliged to praise and thank all those who helped us during past three years and truly did not hesitate in aiding us. In particular, it is essential to thank the following people on behalf of the families and the former members. May God be with them all the time.
Mr. Massoud Khodabandeh, the manager of Iran-Interlink in Britain who travelled to Iraq several times (Baghdad, Erbil, Kirkuk, Dahuk, Suleimania, and etc.) and played a key role in sorting out the affairs of former members just freed from the cult and also the families of present members. His help in different periods were absolutely vital.
Ms Batul Soltani, former member of the MKO Leadership Council, who was very active in dealing with the affairs of the SFF in Iraq. Her trips to Iraqi Kurdistan and to Turkey along with Mr. Khodabandeh paved the way for the success of SFF.
Mr. Arash Sametipour and Mr. Samad Nazari and other officials of the Nejat Society in Iran who made several trips to Baghdad and also sorted out the trips of the families and helped us by providing facilities and legal advice.
Mr. Reza Sadeghi, Mr. Asghar Farzin, Mr. Ali Biglary and others who were managing the activities of SFF unstintingly and courageously.
Mr. Mehdi Khoshhal and Mr. Ali-Akbar Rastgou who travelled from Germany to Iraq to help SFF, even though they faced many difficulties.
The families of Nowruzi and Mohammadi from Canada, Bashiri from Norway, Akbari-Nasab from Germany and many others who beside striving to free their beloved ones helped us in many ways.
We also must thank all Iraqi and non-Iraqi lawyers and citizens in Iraq who sincerely helped us with the affairs of SFF. Without them we could not establish and run SFF. In this respect we would like to particularly thank Mr. Tariq Harb the head of Iraqi Lawyers Association, the Government of Iraq (especially Dr. Muwaffaq Al-Rubaii the former Iraqi National Security Adviser, and Ms Wijdan Mikhael the Iraqi Minister for Human Rights), all tribe chiefs of the province of Diyala, the officials of the United Nations and UNAMI, the Iraqi police stationed in Ashraf garrison, international bodies such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, the Iraqi political parties (except the supporters of the Iraq’s toppled regime who support the Rajavi cult), reporters and the media and finally the individual American soldiers based at Ashraf garrison who were kind, considerate and respectful.
Dear Friends,
You are aware of the political events in Iraq as far as they are related to the presence of the MKO in Iraq. In January 2009, responsibility for Ashraf garrison was transferred to the Iraqi Government. The Iraqis at first promised that when they took responsibility for Ashraf garrison they would let the families to see their beloved ones trapped inside the cult. But this did not happen since there was a lot of foreign interference and the involvement of some elements with particular interests; the international Zionist lobby including, Lord Corbett of England and Struan Stevenson of Scotland as well as the supporters of Saddam Hussein in Jordan, who are the only backers of Rajavi in the region and who are striving to bring back the toppled regime of Iraq and use every means to let the MKO (Rajavi destructive cult) reach this goal contrary to the wish of the suffering families.
For more than four months, some determined families have made a picket line in front of Ashraf gate and refuse to move until they visit and talk with their relatives freely. More are joining them day by day. The activities of these families, despite the fake propaganda and sabotage of the leaders of the cult, enjoyed positive coverage in the Arabic and international media. The BBC Persian television broadcast a report under the title of "useless efforts of Iran and Iraq to close down Camp Ashraf" and mentioned that "leaders of Mojahedin-e Khalq are keeping individuals in camp Ashraf forcefully". Associated Press and United Press International as well as Reuters and also international Arabic papers such as Al-Sharq Al-Awsat of London and many Iraqi and non-Iraqi television channels and newspapers gave coverage to the sit-in of the families. The widespread coverage of this issue by various media contrasts strongly with the fact that the MKO had to resort to paid advertisements to spread misinformation and relied on its apologists in various parliaments to advocate for them by deception.
But it is interesting that this destructive cult claimed "the Iraqi forces are preventing families visiting with their loved ones". Rajavi shamelessly calls the picketing families "enemies’ terrorist conspiracy" and claims that all these families are "enemy spies and mercenaries". Perhaps he meant that they ambushed their headquarters in Iraq with machine guns and bazookas and night vision equipments. The photos of these families, some over 75 years old, breaks the heart of every human being, particularly bearing in mind that they are labeled ‘aggressive, agent and spy’ by the leaders of the MKO. Can someone find a more wicked man in the modern history of Iran than Massoud Rajavi? Are any boundaries for corruption, mendacity and cruelty known to him? Can a person be more loyal to the motto which denotes the cults in world history that "the aim justifies the means"? How far can a human being go forward to "gain power at any cost" in lying and indecency and harassment of innocent people? How far can a person sacrifice hundreds and thousands of individuals?
In a meeting with an official of an international organization in Baghdad the person mentioned that "I really feel ashamed facing these families and I am amazed how during the war and bombings in Afghanistan, family visits with prisoners of war could be arranged, but now in Iraq after so many years not even one letter could be obtained from the inhabitants of Camp Ashraf for their families. When political interests take the place of humanitarian relations and everything is seen through the glasses of interests and when a person like Rajavi is prepared to sell his country as well as even the members of his own cult, these matters do not amaze anyone.
Sahar Family Foundation is honored to have been able to tread this long path toward its goal, which is to reunite the members of the cult with their families, and of course until we reach this goal we will not stop our efforts. Visiting loved ones is the absolute right of these families and if even the world denies it they would not abrogate their rights and eventually they will succeed.
Mr. Ali Barzegar, a former member of MKO, returned home after twenty years of membership in the organization, reported Nejat Society Gilan Office.
Mr. Barzegar was welcomed by his family who had been awaiting his return since he had gone on compulsory military service twenty years ago when he was captured by MKO.
During those twenty years, he was under psychological manipulation by Rajavi’s destructive cult and deprived from enjoying a normal life.
Nejat Society congratulates Mr. Barzegar and his family for their reunion after long years of separation.

Families vow to stop the use of their children as Rajavi’s human torches
On Saturday 5 June Shahab Husseini son of Mohammad Hussein born in Tehran, escaped from Camp Ashraf. Shahob Husseini had been with the Mojahedin-e Khalq for twenty four years. Since the Government of Iraq took responsibility for the camp in 2009, a steady stream of MKO members have successfully managed to overcome the immense difficulties imposed on them by the cult leaders and have managed to leave.
Two days earlier the families encamped outside Camp Ashraf waiting for news of their children celebrated Iranian Mothers’ Day. The fact they are separated from not only their long-lost children who are being held hostage inside the camp by MKO leader Massoud Rajavi, but are also far away from their other family members back home, did not deter them from having a good time. They remain cheerful and optimistic. They will succeed eventually in their aims.
The families have warned Rajavi and his Western backers that they will not allow their children to be used as human sacrifices as other MKO members have in the past. Pictures of the self-immolations ordered after the arrest in Paris in 2003 of Maryam Rajavi were raised above the gates of Camp Ashraf to remind the world of the crimes of the Rajavi cult against their own members.
