Families of Camp Liberty residents demanding meetings with their loved ones. MEK leaders are holding them hostage. MEK leader Massoud Rajavi has reacted hysterically claiming the families have come to destroy the camp and kill the residents.
Mustafa Mohammady and his youngest daughter were attacked on June 12, 2015 by more than a dozen associates of Mojahedin Khalgh MEK. Mohammady brutally beaten, with kicks and punches sending Mustafa to the floor. Soon after they realize his young daughter is taking a film of them recording their coward and criminal violent acts they ran to her and started attacking, and trying to confiscate her camera. She was brutally attacked and pushed to the floor. These violent acts are just a few in many.
These are the actions of group who the French government are housing and protecting. This is group known as Mojahedin-E-Khalq, which are supposed to be a rebel organization for the freedom of Iranians in Iran, have attacked a father and his daughter who only intentions are to free his eldest daughter, Somayeh, from Iraq. These deceitful, violent and cruel cult members beat and prey on the innocent who have just been begging to reunite their family.
This was not the mistake of a few, but of many. The innocent minded people who were ideology deceived to support a terrorist group know as Mojahedin Khalgh MEK. The mistake in believing that this group is stands for peace and freedom, which started way before the revolution Iran, but turned out to be a terrorizing manipulative cult. The many innocent lives of families who suffered by the acts of this cults selfish beliefs.
We were one of those families. We lost our uncle and aunt, (Hadi, Hurieh) who we loved dearly. They died believing in this group, who we thought were just, but in time we have realized that this group, and the violence they cause, are a terrorist group. We are looking to free our sister from this dangerous, and deceiving group who brain wash their members in believing in false ideology through constant lies, and physical and mental torture.
This group exist through political bribery and financial advantages. They have millions of euros and dollars through investments in many regions of the world. They continue investing in their thrust for power and control. They pursue their goal through any means. Thats why this group is very dangerous. No one would know what their next actions would be, either through constant protests or violence.
On the MEK television channel for the whole day they broadcast Somayeh Mohammady to lie on camera. They want to present lies through rehearsed mental torture. They present a show on their tv channel crafted to brain wash more people. Any experienced psychologist can read Somayeh condition. Somayeh Mohammady has gone through to many, its time to end these lies.
And now our sole concern is Somayeh’s well being. We need your help in freeing the Somayeh’ in the grasp of MEK.

On Monday July 13, 2015 we rented a car in Paris, France and drove to Auvers-Sur-Oise. Who are we? We are two fathers and a sister, all three in Paris doing all we can to free our daughter/sister from a cult’s terrorist camp in Baghdad, Iraq called Camp Liberty. The irony of the name of this camp is that the people kept in the camp haven’t had a glimpse of liberty or freedom for fifteen plus years. The people in charge of the camp are Maryam Rajavi, Massoud Rajavi and Mehdi Abrishamchi. They are the leaders of the Mojahedin-e-Khalq – the name of the group that fifty years ago started out as a noble group for the freedom of the Iranian people.
Today, and for the past 30 odd years, this group has become a cult in which the leaders were/are affiliated with Saddam Hussein and other known terrorist leaders in the Middle East. They prey on the simple hearted, the young and the hopeless to gain power and money. They use any deceitful tactics such as propaganda, lying, torture, threats and more to get their way. They have taken the lives of many young people and kept them captive in Iraq.
Our daughters are two of the thousands of these innocent victims. We are here to open the eyes of the French government and citizens to show them that the people in charge of the kidnapping and brainwashing of thousands of people over the years are residing in Auvers-Sur-Oise, France. This was the second time that I, Mustafa Mohammady, and my daughter Hurieh have been attacked in the streets of Auvers by the Mojahedin. We want nothing more than a meeting with the town’s mayor to explain to her our story so she will know the true colours of these people.
The first occurrence of attack was a month ago on June 12, 2015. We took the train to Auvers with our lawyer and walked to rue des Gordes in the hope of getting a meeting with a Mojahedin leader since our lawyer was with us. As we turned onto the street not taking more than five steps we saw a man and a woman running towards us from different directions of the road. They begin yelling horrible vulgar curses at us without any engagement or provocation from us. They start pulling at our camera and belongings and throwing punches at us. At this time our lawyer phoned the police and alerted them to come to our rescue immediately.
We were three people, a senior Canadian, a female student and a French lawyer, and within seconds we were cornered onto a gated driveway with dozens of people attacking us. As we were trying to protect ourselves from their terrifying blows to our bodies they succeeded in separating us from each other. They threw each one of us to the ground and five/six people at a time would attempt to steal our phones, wallets and camera while throwing kicks and punches. The police came about ten minutes after the call and pulled them off us.
That did not stop them from gathering around and yelling threats and curses at us by surrounding the police and the ambulance. As we were being taken by stretcher into the ambulance a man jumped on top of Hurieh in front of the police and attacked her to the ground breaking our camera. We was handcuffed and taken to the police station and kept in a cell for one night. We were treated in the hospital in Pontoise with many cuts and bruises all over our bodies. We were traumatized but the fire in us grew bigger as now we know how little humanity is left in them and how much we need to get our children out from their clutches.
We gave our statement to the police the day after and got a full body report of our injuries in the hospital and are filing a complaint against their actions towards us. This case is now being dealt with in the court of Pointoise but we have not given up on bringing our children home to us. We talked to different police officers of Paris and Pontoise and recounted our story to them. This brings us to last week’s events.
So we drove to Auvers-Sur-Oise, with lingering fear of what happened the first time, we went there to arrange a meeting with the mayor. We drove to just outside of the town and decided to stop and enjoy the scenery as there were large beautiful wheat fields which we wanted to take pictures of. As we were about to walk towards our parked car, a man (Mojahedin member) with a camera started coming towards us. With fear we quickly ran faster towards our car, as did he, following us and pushing Hurieh to the ground. She got up and ran into the car and locked herself in waiting for Mustafa and Ali Hossein to so the same. Mustafa was able to get in but when we looked back Ali Hossein couldn’t make it fast enough and we saw that more of the Mojahedin had arrived.
The man clutched at our car trying to grab at us through the open window but we started the car and began to drive away. Ali Hossein stopped a passing car hoping to get help and security from strangers to drive him away from the Mojahedin who, by now were more than five. The driver of the car however did not drive away and the Mojahedin opened their car door trying to pull Ali Hossein out onto the streets. We were circling the roundabout trying to figure out how to save him and to get other car drivers to phone the police. We were yelling for help and for the police as we watched them forcefully pulling him out of the car and onto the ground.
We were trying to distract them until the police came when a black car approached with speed and rammed their car into ours. With fear we had no choice but to flee the scene as the car chased us through the streets at over hundred kilometres per hour. We were calling the police unable to give our whereabouts as we were not only unfamiliar with the location but nothing seemed to be around for miles. The chase went on until we reached the town of Cergy, Pontoise and headed towards the Police station there.
Once there we told them what had happened and our anxiety about what happened to Ali Hossein, hoping the police got there in time to save him. With police cars guiding us back to the station in Auvers we found out that Ali Hossein was saved in time and taken to the station and was secure. Outside of the station the Mojahedin men and women were gathered there with cameras and still yelling curses and swear words at us. This was our second complaint file we made towards them. We did not come to Paris to be attacked and treated this way. We came here begging to see our children. Why is it that to ask for the return of our child, or just plain contact with them is threatening these people so much?
What are they so afraid of that they are not allowing families to be in contact? Somayeh Mohammady was taken from Canada 18 years ago and we haven’t been able to even make a phone call with her for more than twelve years. Murders in prison have visiting rights but these people in the camp, the ones taken away from their lives are not even allowed a letter or phone call. How are we in the wrong to ask for the safety and happiness of our children?
We ask the people of France, nay, the people of the world to see the injustice in this and to help spread the word about these captors. Help our voices be heard. We are now living in fear as they are constantly posting threatening words on their websites and have followed us to our rented home in Paris. They have come to our apartment and handed out flyers filled with lies to everyone in our neighbourhood. They call us spies and people working for the Iranian government, but all we have ever wanted was the return of our child to their home. To take them back to where they belong and have always belonged. To live their lives be with their family and be happy if they can find meaning in that feeling anymore.
The Mojahedin are threatened by a father and daughter that have put their lives on hold many times and have used the little resources they have to fly to Paris to ask for the safety of Somayeh. They call themselves an organization for the liberation of the people of Iran yet they cannot even provide freedom to the ones they call their own. We will not stop fighting for the safety of our children and this will not be over until these captives are freed.
We will go to any lengths and are begging anyone who can hear our voices to help us. Please help free our kids from their evil clutches. Help their voices be heard. Help mothers take their children back into their arms. Help children see the advancement of the world and live the rest of their lives not in fear but tranquillity and peace.

On Monday, July10th Mr. Mustafa Mohammadi former activist and sympathizer of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization and Mr. Ghorbanali Hossein Nezhad former high-ranking member and interpreter of the group, went to Auver Sur d’Oise in the suburb of Paris where the European base of the MKO is located. Both men have daughters taken as hostages by the MKO leaders in Camp Liberty, Iraq.
Mr. Mohammadi and Mr. Hossein Nezhad tried to inform citizens of Auver Sur d’Oise about the violent, cult-like nature of the MKO. They distributed flyers, brochure, images and CDs to help the citizens get to know about the cult that has kidnapped their daughters, Somayeh Mohammadi and Zeinab Hossein Nezhad.
They described how the MKO trapped their girls in to the cult. Somayeh was a Canadian citizen before she was recruited by the MKO and Zeinab was recruited in France.
Citizens of Auver Sur d’Oise welcomed the two suffering fathers. They offered sympathy to them. Some of them had witnessed Mr. Mohammadi and his other daughter being beaten by the MKO henchmen a few weeks earlier in Auver Sur d’Oise near the MKO headquarters. They praised him for his courage and resistance.
Mr. Mohamamdi and Hossein Nezhad called on other families – whose beloved ones were sent to the MKO’s military Camps in Iraq – to join their action and to support their judiciary and international efforts to release their loved ones.
The two fathers said:” we have no appeal from the Cult of Rajavi except letting our children leave the mental and physical bars of the cult.” This is definitely a human, moral and legal demand.
The struggle to free their loved ones from the clutches of the terrorist Mojahedin Khalq cult has been brought to Europe as two fathers visit Auvers-sur-Oise near Paris, home to the MEK leader Maryam Rajavi.
Over three decades the cult leader Rajavi has banned MEK members from contacting their families for fear of divided loyalties and absconding. But the families have refused to give up on their children. Since 2003, hundreds of families undertook the difficult and dangerous journey to Iraq to find their loved ones. Mostafa Mohammadi travelled from Canada on several occasions to find his daughter Somayeh and bring her home. With no success there, he has now brought the demands of the families to the gates of the MEK’s Headquarters in France.
Somayeh Mohammadi has been held hostage by the MEK for over two decades in Iraq. After years of futile protest outside the camp, her father came to France to petition the MEK leader for her release. On the advice of his lawyer Mostafa visited the base in Auvers-sur-Oise with his other daughter Hooriyeh along with the lawyer to deliver a last formal request to Maryam Rajavi before launching legal proceedings against her. The MEK response was to send out around twenty thugs to beat up all three of the petitioners, including the French lawyer. Police intervened and Mostafa was hospitalised overnight.
After recovering from his injuries Mostafa again visited Auvers-sur-Oise on Friday 10th July to publicise his plight. This time he was accompanied by another father whose daughter is also being held captive in Iraq. Ghorban Ali Hossein Nejad joined Mostafa outside the Town Hall at Auvers-sur-Oise to hand out leaflets to local people and tourists. Ghorban Ali as well as other critics had previously been subjected to attacks by the MEK for speaking out against the group in France.
After sending out the message ‘Let’s stand up together and free our children’, other families are now lined up to join them for further activities over the busy summer season.
One of the mayor’s electoral pledges was to rid the small tourist town – where Vincent Van Gogh painted some of his most famous works – of the incongruous presence of the terrorist group. Her election was a clear indication that the townsfolk wanted some action to be taken to remove the MEK from their town. Unfortunately this has not happened and the MEK still continue their activities from inside their de facto enclave beyond the reach of the French authorities even though the cult is currently under investigation for terrorist offences.
On Monday, July10th Mr. Mustafa Mohammadi former activist and sympathizer of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization and Mr. Ghorbanali Hossein Nezhad former high-ranking member and interpreter of the group, went to Auver Sur d’Oise in the suburb of Paris where the European base of the MKO is located.

On Sunday 14th June, a number of Iranian families met with Iraq’s Human Rights Minister and asked him to intervene to allow interviews with their relatives in Camp Liberty, and stressed they need “only a few minutes” with them. The Ministry of Human Rights confirmed that the Mojahedin Khalq (MEK) leaders’ rejection of the requests of these families was based on “their relatives’ refusal to meet them because of the need to protect the lives of the members of the organization”.
Hussein, who is with the group of families, told Almada Press in an interview that, “we have many times tried to see our relatives despite the MEK’s claims that they won’t meet us, and we have had the help of all the parties involved including the Iraqi Ministry of Human Rights and the Red Cross. He pointed out that “all we want is an interview for a few minutes to check on [the wellbeing of] our relatives who have been with this organization for decades without contact with us.”
For her part, Hosna, the daughter of one of the members of the MEK Organization, told Almada Press, “I have repeatedly tried to meet with my father, whom I haven’t seen since I was born – he joined the MEK when I was only was 45 days old – but all attempts have failed. And after moving to Camp Liberty, this camp has very high walls and I cannot see him inside there even from a distance”. She continued, “the only time I have seen him was when they were in Camp Ashraf in Diyala province, when I saw him from far away without talking to him”.
In a meeting with the Iranian families and the press at the ministry’s headquarters, Iraq’s Minister of Human Rights said “We have a responsibility as a state to protect the lives of these people according to agreements made between Iraq and the United Nations, and we respect all the international resolutions, but their presence in Iraq is only for a limited period of time”. He noted, “We will not withhold any assistance that can be provided [to the families] and we will work very hard to secure the needs of these families who have come to meet their relatives in Iraq.”
Haider Hussain Mahdi, Director General of the Legal Department of the Ministry of Human Rights, told Almada Press that “the Ministry of Human Rights has received a group of Iranian families who want to visit their children and loved ones who are in Camp Liberty and this camp, as everyone knows, is home to members of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran.”
Mahdi continued, “The members of this organization numbered more than 3,000 in their camp in Diyala province during the era of the former regime. Following the ouster of that regime their demands to stay in Iraq were rejected by successive Iraqi governments because their continuation in Iraq is prohibited by law and the Iraqi constitution.” He pointed out that, “the Iraqi authorities are trying to expel them from Iraq in cooperation with the United Nations and US forces (when they were in Iraq).”
Mahdi said, “The families of these individuals, now and earlier, have flocked to Iraq to see them but always faced rejection by the organization which argued that its members do not want to see their loved ones coming from Iran.”
Mahdi said, “We are trying to provide all the facilities possible to enable these families to see their loved ones, and we will take their names and the names of those who they want to see in order to complete this interview process between the individual parties involved”. He pointed out that “all previous attempts failed because the leaders of the individuals inside the camp always rejected such visits or interviews”.

On June 9th, 2015 several family members of Mujahedin-e Khalq hostages – who are kept in Camp Liberty, Iraq having no access to the outside world and under the severe brainwashing practices – established a permanent stake in front of the Camp entrance. The families’ only demand is to meet their beloved ones whom they have not visited for long years. The leaders of the Cult of Rajavi do not allow members to have any contact including visits or phone calls or even letters with their families.
The families say they would insist on their legitimate demand and won’t leave the Camp unless they would meet their loved ones.
The MKO leaders who consider the families as their cult’s arc enemy has reacted to the families’ legitimate demand by swearing at them.
The Cult leaders definitely remember the bitter experience of the rise of defection within their cult after the families four years of picketing in front of Camp Ashraf before its shutdown.
Therefore, the cult’s propaganda machine under the order of Massoud Rajavi propagate that these families of Liberty residents have come to kill them and to destroy the Camp!
The cult claims that elderly parents The Mehdifards and Shabanpours, the grieving brother of Parviz Heidar zade and the suffering daughter of Abdulhassan Ahangari are agents of the Iranian Intelligence Ministry and Quds Force!
Iran Interlink reporting from Baghdad.
Video shows families of Camp Liberty residents demanding meetings with their loved ones.
MEK leaders are holding them hostage. MEK leader Massoud Rajavi has reacted hysterically claiming the families shown in the film have come to destroy the camp and kill the residents.
Mr. Ghorban Ali Hossein Nejad ,defector of MKO who was a veteran translator of the group leader has repeatedly asked the International Human Rights bodies to help his two daughters have a visit.
He has two daughters, one in Iran [Mona,33] and one in Camp Liberty [ Zeinab, 37]. The two sisters have not been able to see or have any contact with each other during their lifetime due to the enforced separation of families within the Cult of Mujahedin-e Khalq.
Mr. Hussennejad says even during his reside in MKO Camps he couldn’t manage to visit his daughter; Zeinab for twenty years.
Last week Mona Hussennejad for the second time traveled to Iraq, Camp Liberty to visit her dear sister. However the MKO leaders refused the visit because they fear Zeinab would defect the cult.
