We suffer long-term separation from our children who have been imprisoned at camps of Mujahedin Khalq Organization. The group does not allow us to meet them. We have been picketing in front of Camp Ashraf, Iraq for over two and a half years.
While the situation at Camp Ashraf remains uncertain and the relocation of the residents is hanging in balance, families concern over the fate of their loved ones grows. They are truly worried about the future awaiting for them and their children.
Nejat Society believes that there is no need for relocation of Camp Ashraf. A look at recent cases indicates that so far about 1000 defectors of MKO could manage to live a free life in European countries as well as Iran and no judicial obstacle was on their way. If the cult leaders are honest in their words, they should allow the members to decide whether to leave the group or stay in the cult, with their own free will not under the atmosphere of fear and pressure. Then they will see that there will be no more residents to move to another Iraqi area.
The clashes between Iraqi security forces and Camp Ashraf residents on Friday April8, can be analyzed from several points of view. Either the act of Iraqi forces was aimed to set up a new station or to put pressure on the cult leaders to leave Iraq, MKO/MEK/PMOI leaders should take the responsibility of the incidents..Families neither confirm nor deny the number of killed members published by the cult but they ask Iraqi government to remove labyrinth of bars in Camp Ashraf in order to make the cult leaders engaged in providing the residents the chance to visit their families ..
delegation of Nejat Society, Khuzestan office were welcomed by families of MKO captives..Members of Nejat Society reported the recent activities and situation of families picketing at Ashraf gates.Families appreciated efforts of Nejat NGO to release their loved children. Besides, they told their memoirs of visits with their beloveds at Camp Ashraf where they were not allowed to visit their children freely without the control of MKO officials. Families also declared their readiness to offer help to Nejat Society with their activities for salvation of Rajavi’s victims.
The three ex-members told the audience some of their bitter experiences in MKO aka MEK/PMOI. They mentioned the group’s tricks and deceitful approaches to recruit members.They spoke of the suffocating, closed atmosphere of inside the cult where members are not allowed to marry, to contact their family, to watch TV or to read newspapers. They just have to work so hard that they could not find any opportunity to think.Although the atmosphere of Camp Ashraf is terribly oppressive, escaping the cult is not impossible,according to former members; people should only decide to save themselves from the bars of Ashraf.
a number of families who are members of Nejat Society Tehran Branch attended a meeting where three recently defectors of MKO,analyzed the most recent situation in Camp Ashraf Iraq… participants signed a petition to UN Secretary General and UN representative in Iraq asking that their letters be delivered to their children directly by UN or ICRC’s representatives. They also asked for release of their children as soon as possible.
Following the arrival of a number of foreign journalists and reporters to cover the report on the conference to address nuclear disarmament held by IRI in Tehran, they traveled to Shiraz on April 20th, 2010 a number of victims of Mujahedin’s terrorist activities and some members of Nejat Society Shiraz branch visited the journalists.. .They asked the journalists to voice the Iranians’ call to protest against Western support for MEK. They condemned the West’s double standard towards the terrorist MEK/MKO/PMOI Cult.
