US urges Iraq to facilitate MKO move

The United States has called for a "negotiated plan" to facilitate the move of the Iraq-based terrorist group Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) to another country.

US State Department spokesman Mark Toner urged Iraqi authorities on Tuesday to allow UN officials to visit the terrorist group’s base Camp Ashraf, located north of the capital Baghdad, AFP reported.

"We’re prepared to help the government of Iraq develop and execute a negotiated plan — and the emphasis on ‘negotiated’ — that addresses the future of Camp Ashraf," said the US official.

Earlier on Monday, Iraqi government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said the cabinet is determined to shut down Camp Ashraf and disband the terrorist group, noting," The council of ministers has been committed to implement an earlier decision about disbanding the terrorist group by the end of this year at the latest."

According to AFP, 10 people were reportedly killed in clashes between Iraqi security forces and MKO terrorists at Camp Ashraf last Friday.

The MKO has carried out numerous acts of terror and violence against Iranian civilians and government officials.

The group fled to Iraq in 1986, where it enjoyed the support of Iraq’s executed dictator Saddam Hussein, and set up Camp Ashraf in Diyala province, near the Iranian border. More than 3,000 MKO members reside in Camp Ashraf.

The organization is also known to have cooperated with Saddam in suppressing the 1991 uprisings in southern Iraq and the massacre of Iraqi Kurds. Much of the international community, including the US, considers it as a terrorist group.

Iran has repeatedly called on the Iraqi government to expel the group, but the US has been blocking the expulsion by pressuring the Iraqi government not to do so.

US moots ‘negotiated’ plan for Iranian camp (Ashraf) in Iraq

WASHINGTON — The United States said Tuesday it is ready to help Iraq find a negotiated plan for an Iranian opposition camp in which the dissidents there could "conceivably" end up in a third country.

Iraq has ordered the exiled Iranian opposition group People’s Mujahedeen of Iran to leave the country by the end of this year after a deadly weekend assault at its Camp Ashraf base.
"We’re prepared to help the government of Iraq develop and execute a negotiated plan — and the emphasis on ‘negotiated’ — that addresses the future of Camp Ashraf," State Department spokesman Mark Toner said.

When asked whether the plan could include having the camp’s members transferred to a third country where they would not be tortured or abused, Toner replied: "Conceivably, yeah."
Toner also said Washington is urging the authorities in Baghdad to allow UN officials to visit Camp Ashraf to determine what happened during the assault and how many people were killed.]

An Iraqi security official said at least three people were killed Friday when Iraqi forces clashed with the Iranian opposition group, but the dissidents claimed 31 of their members died in a full military assault.

During a visit to American troops in northern Iraq, US Defense Secretary Robert Gates expressed concern at the reports of casualties. He urged Iraqi authorities to show restraint.

The People’s Mujahedeen of Iran set up Camp Ashraf in the 1980s — when the regime of late Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein was at war with the Islamic republic — as a base to operate against Tehran.

It was disarmed following the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003.

Rights Group Urges US Officials to Abandon Support for MKO

Habilian Association, an Iran-based human rights group, in a letter called on the US officials to drop support for the anti-Iran terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) which has carried out numerous terrorist attacks against both Iranian and foreign nationals in the last four decades.

"To conduct a real campaign against terrorism, we, the families of terror victims, expect you to stop supporting and making an instrumental use of the terrorist groups, including the terrorist and anti-human group of Mojahedin-e Khalq, as a tool and move towards the total annihilation of terrorism," a letter by the group said on Tuesday.

Referring to the dark record of the MKO, the letter reminded that the terrorist group is one of the most hated terrorist organizations in the Middle-East, specially among the Iranian, Iraqi and Kuwaiti people.

The letter described assassination of seven American attaches and counselors and thousands of other innocent people as well as bomb attacks, plane hijack, aggression, armed robbery and money-laundering as among the other crimes committed by the terrorist group.

The MKO has been in Iraq’s northern Diyala province since the 1980s.

Iraq’s security forces took control of Camp Ashraf and detained dozens of the members of the terrorist group last year. The Iraqi authority also changed the name of the military center from Camp Ashraf to the Camp of New Iraq.

The MKO, whose main stronghold is in Iraq, is blacklisted by much of the international community, including the United States.

Before an overture by the EU, the MKO was on the European Union’s list of terrorist organizations subject to an EU-wide assets freeze. Yet, the MKO puppet leader, Maryam Rajavi, who has residency in France, regularly visited Brussels and despite the ban enjoyed full freedom in Europe.

Some other ranking members of the MKO who have had a role in the assassination of a large number of Iranian citizens and officials are currently living in France.

The group started assassination of Iranian citizens and officials after the Islamic Revolution in a bid to take control of the newly established Islamic Republic. It killed several of Iran’s new leaders in the early years after the Revolution, including the then President, Mohammad Ali Rajayee, Prime Minister, Mohammad Javad Bahonar and the Judiciary Chief, Mohammad Hossein Beheshti who were killed in bomb attacks by MKO members in 1981.

The group fled to Iraq in 1986, where it was protected by Saddam Hussein and where it helped the Iraqi dictator suppress Shiite and Kurd uprisings in the country.

The terrorist group joined Saddam’s army during the Iraqi imposed war on Iran (1980-1988) and helped Saddam and killed thousands of Iranian civilians and soldiers during the US-backed Iraqi imposed war on Iran.

Many of the MKO members have abandoned the terrorist organization while most of those still remaining in the camp are said to be willing to quit but are under pressure and torture not to do so.

A May 2005 Human Rights Watch report accused the MKO of running prison camps in Iraq and committing human rights violations.

According to the Human Rights Watch report, the outlawed group puts defectors under torture and jail terms.

Numerous articles and letters posted on the Internet by family members of MKO recruits confirm reports of the horrific abuse that the group inflicts on its own members and the alluring recruitment methods it uses.

The most shocking of such stories includes accounts given by former British MKO member Ann Singleton and Mustafa Mohammadi — the father of an Iranian-Canadian girl who was drawn into the group during an MKO recruitment campaign in Canada.

Mohammadi recounts his desperate efforts to contact his daughter, who disappeared several years ago – a result of what the MKO called a ‘two-month tour’ of Camp Ashraf for teenagers.
He also explains how the group forces the families of its recruits to take part in pro-MKO demonstrations in the western countries by threatening to kill their loved ones.

Lacking a foothold in Iran, the terrorist group recruits ill-informed teens from Iranian immigrant communities in western states and blocks their departure afterwards.

On the Anniversary of Explosion at US offices in Tehran

The Letter of the Families of Terror Victims in Middle East to the American Authorities on the Anniversary of Explosion at US offices in Tehran

Dear Mr. Obama:
President of the United States of America
On January 1973 a few terrorist explosions took place in some American buildings and companies including RTI Radio Television Company and Pan American airlines. The terrorist organization of Mojahedin-e Khalq which pretends to be a human rights defender issued statements and claimed the responsibility for the explosions. The MKO (PMOI) stated that such acts were in line with their anti-capitalist and anti-American objectives.

Mr. President,
We are the members of the Association for Defending Victims of Terrorism in Middle East who have lost our family members in various acts of terrorism. Among us there are more than 12000 Iranians and thousands of Iraqis and Kuwaitis who have been assassinated by Mojahedin-e Khalq members. Based on these facts and the responsibility we feel on our shoulders, we had to inform you about the terrorist threats of some extremist groups like MKO. Accordingly we wanted to mention the threat which is posed by Mojahedin Organization to the global community and especially American society.

Your Excellency,
Mojahedin-e Khalq is an organization which has murdered many people including seven American counselors and thousands of innocent civilians. Planting bombs, high-jacking, armed robbery and money-laundering are some other crimes they have committed. This organization has also been

Republicans’ Support for MKO Angers US Media

The US Republicans’ increasing support for the anti-Iran terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) and their extensive lobbying for taking the group off the list of terrorist organizations have received harsh reactions from the side of the US political analysts and media.
Lawrence Davidson, a history professor at West Chester University in Pennsylvania, wrote in an article titled "Republicans Give Aid to Terrorists", published by consortiumnews website, that US hypocrisy regarding terrorism is one of those topics that Official Washington typically ignores.
Politicians and the press wax indignant about "terrorists" who lack powerful American defenders, but then look the other way or find excuses when the "terrorists" are on "our side", Davidson wrote.

The most glaring examples have related to right-wing Cuban terrorists who had close ties to the Bush Family, but there are also double standards regarding Mid-East groups, Lawrence Davidson notes.

Here is an interesting piece of news from the Washington Post: "A group of prominent US Republicans" went to Paris last month to attend a rally of the French Committee for a Democratic Iran. This organization just happens to be intimately connected with the MKO.

"And what is the MKO? It is an Iranian exile group, originally Marxist in ideology that has been on the State Department’s list of terrorist organizations since 1997. And, as we will see, our "prominent Republican" visitors knew of this connection – knew it and apparently were not put off by the fact at all," Davidson added.

As described by the Washington Post, there were former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, former Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge, former White House homeland security adviser Frances F. Townsend and former Attorney General Michael Mukasey publically demanding that "Obama…take the controversial Mojahedin-e Khalq opposition group off the US list of foreign terrorist organizations and incorporate it into efforts to overturn the government in Tehran".

In other words, these four stalwart defenders of the homeland from terrorism were lending material support to a designated terrorist organization through speech that was coordinated to enhance the cause of that group, the report added.

Meantime, David Cole, one of the best civil rights lawyers in the US explains the situation in a New York Times op-ed : "The problem is that the United States government has labeled the Mojahedin-e Khalq a ‘foreign terrorist organization,’ making it a crime to provide it, directly or indirectly, with any material support. And, according to the Justice Department …material support includes not only cash and other tangible aid, but also speech coordinated with a ‘foreign terrorist organization’ for its benefit."

As Cole points out, this law is a serious infringement of the First Amendment rights of US citizens and it was recently challenged in the courts in the case "Holder v. Humanitarian Law Project."

It was the Obama administration that successfully upheld the law before the Supreme Court.
Subsequently, the FBI has been issuing subpoenas and raiding homes of people in Chicago and Minneapolis who allegedly have connections with Palestinian and Columbian resistance organizations.

The actions of these republicans should create a dilemma for President Obama. Consistency in applying the law demands that he make sure that Giuliani, Ridge, Townsend and Mukasey are treated in the same way his Justice Department is treating people in Chicago and Minneapolis.
The MKO, whose main stronghold is in Iraq, is blacklisted by much of the international community, including the United States.

The MKO is behind a slew of assassinations and bombings inside Iran, a number of EU parliamentarians said in a recent letter in which they slammed a British court decision to remove the MKO from the British terror list. The EU officials also added that the group has no public support within Iran because of their role in helping Saddam Hussein in the Iraqi imposed war on Iran (1980-1988).

Many of the MKO members abandoned the terrorist organization while most of those still remaining in the camp are said to be willing to quit but are under pressure and torture not to do so.

A May 2005 Human Rights Watch report accused the MKO of running prison camps in Iraq and committing human rights violations.

According to the Human Rights Watch report, the outlawed group puts defectors under torture and jail terms.

The group, founded in the 1960s, blended elements of Islamism and Stalinism and participated in the overthrow of the US-backed Shah of Iran in 1979. Ahead of the revolution, the MKO conducted attacks and assassinations against both Iranian and Western targets.

Leaders of the group have been fighting to shed its terrorist tag after a series of bloody anti-Western attacks in the 1970s, and nearly 30 years of violent struggle against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

In recent months, high-ranking MKO members have been lobbying governments around the world in the hope of acknowledgement as a legitimate opposition group.

The UK initiative, however, prompted the European Union to establish relations with the exiled organization now based in Paris. The European Court of First Instance threw its weight behind the MKO in December and annulled its previous decision to freeze its funds.

The group started assassination of the citizens and officials after the revolution in a bid to take control of the newly established Islamic Republic. It killed several of Iran’s new leaders in the early years after the revolution, including the then President, Mohammad Ali Rajayee, Prime Minister, Mohammad Javad Bahonar and the Judiciary Chief, Mohammad Hossein Beheshti who were killed in bomb attacks by MKO members in 1981.

The group fled to Iraq in 1986, where it was protected by Saddam Hussein and where it helped the Iraqi dictator suppress Shiite and Kurd uprisings in the country.

Since the 2003 US invasion of Iraq, the group, which now adheres to a pro-free-market philosophy, has been strongly backed by neo-conservatives in the United States, who also argue for the MKO to be taken off the US terror list.

The MKO has been in Iraq’s Diyala province since the 1980s.

Iraqi security forces took control of the training base of the MKO at Camp Ashraf – about 60km (37 miles) north of Baghdad – last year and detained dozens of the members of the terrorist group.
The Iraqi authority also changed the name of the military center from Camp Ashraf to the Camp of New Iraq.

Objection Letter of Families of Terror Victims to the Representatives of the US House

The nature of terrorism and the criminals who murder innocent people is in a way that the lives of innocent people whether Iranian or American do not have any value for them. In fact, the only important thing for them is achieving their evil goals and accordingly they would remove any one opposing them. Do you remember General Harold Price, William Cottrell, Donald Smith, Robert Krongard and Lt. Col. Louis Lee Hawkins? They were the military counselors who have all been assassinated in Iran before the Islamic Revolution by Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization. Are you familiar with American companies such as International Telephone & Telegraph Cartel (ITT) and John Dyer Co. which were working in Iran before the Islamic Revolution of 1979? These companies have also been targeted by the MKO’s bombs.

Do you know which terrorist organization murdered Col. Paul Schaefer and Liet. Col. Jack Turner?

Indeed, do you know Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO), their strategic approach and their activities in the past and at present? Are you aware of the consequences of letting a terrorist group, which has collaborated with Eastern Bloc and acted as the private army of Saddam Hussein in suppressing the Iraqi Kurds and Shiites and Kuwaiti youths, to operate in American soil? Do you know that MKO has one of the beigest human trafficking networks and has committed various crimes including kidnapping, high-jacking, armed robbery, attacks on civilians and military forces, planting bombs in public areas, money-laundering and terrorism.

Have you ever referred to international documents, which have been published about Mojahedin-e Khalq organization and recognized it as one of the most dangerous terrorist cults, in order to get more familiar with the real nature of this inhuman organization? Relying on communist thoughts, MKO seeks for freedom and human rights through armed conflicts. This issue is quite understandable from the flag and the symbol of the organization on it. The gross violation of human rights in this organization can not find anywhere else; prohibition of marriage, separating children from their parents, sterilizing women by taking their wombs out, torture, solitary confinement and above all changing the members into the captives without any sense of determination are just some of the disasters occurring in Ashraf Camp presently. The result of such mind transmutation techniques is obvious in 2003 self-immolation of some MKO members in several European cities.

Your Excellency,
The international documents like the Human Rights Watch report of May 2005 and American National Defense Institute (RAND) report of 2009 and the report presented by German Federal Office on Mojahedin-e Khalq have confirmed the above-mentioned points. These reports make a strong basis for us to understand the real nature of a terrorist cult whose freedom of activity is similar to letting a group of criminals be free in the society.

Your Excellency,
Deciding about a terrorist organization which has claimed responsibility for the murder of 12000 Iranians and thousands of Iraqis and Kuwaiti people is not easy and accordingly responding on the criminal acts which may occur in your country in future by this organization is definitely more difficult.

Undoubtedly your presence in Iran, Iraq and Kuwait and witnessing the documents related to the murder of thousands of innocent people including women and children would seriously affect your approach towards Mojahedin-e Khalq terrorist organization. You would meet children who have lost their parents in the terrorist measures of this organization or innocent people who have been mutilated in MKO’s terrorist operations.

You can find people who want to see the trial of the leaders of this organization. In fact, how would you react against those who support September 11 terrorist attacks? The interesting point is that you are voicing support for delisting an organization which had celebrated and rejoiced after 9/11 event.

Letter of Mr. Naderi to the US Secretary of States concerning MKO

Honorable Madam Hillary Clinton, The US Secretary of State
Letter of Mr. Naderi to the US Secretary of States concerning MKO
Respectfully, at the beginning of my letter, I would like to introduce myself. I am Nader Naderi one of the former members of PMOI (People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran ) with almost twenty years of membership in that organization. I managed to separate from them and took refuge in the American camp (TIPF), located in Iraq, after the fall of Saddam Hussein the dictator of Iraq. I stayed in TIPF for four years.

During those awful years, I was witnessing the many crimes that this organization implemented against me and others. I had felt the real essence and content of this organization by my own flesh and bone, and the reality of this organization that I experienced in their garrisons and military bases is completely different than their behavior and attitude (anti terrorism and pro human rights) in Europe and United States of America.

The entity and the internal relations of this organization like the other religious cults throughout the world is based on fundamentalism and terrorism which separate them from any humanitarian values and foundations and as a result of this fact, their cultic internal relations are completely in contrast with all humane values and criteria. The members of this organization are deprived of having any choice, complaint and criticism and they are suffering from the lack of the basic and inferior individual rights, as a matter of fact in this organization having such rights are considered as blasphemy and treason against its leadership interests and they have designated harsh and severe punishments for people who wants to have those rights. Any dissent and disobedience in this organization will be suppressed and oppressed viciously and brutally with no mercy. [..]under PMOI leadership any protest, complaint, and criticism will be suppressed utterly with no mercy.

This organization with such a terrorist identity had participated in many crimes against humanity in Iraq during Saddam Hussein’s reign and they cooperated with Saddam Hussein by all means. This organization with such a terrorist content and essence while the catastrophic event of 9/11 occurred in USA by the terrorist Al Quaida organization, they began throwing parties and distributing cookies, candies, and pastries among their members in their garrisons and military bases in Iraq to celebrate this cowardly and shameful attack which caused the death of thousands American men and women in twin towers and other places on US soil. The PMOI leader Maryam Rajavi who is living in her command base on French soil and she pretends that she is in love with democracy, freedom , justice and she cares about human rights and etc , she was the main factor to provoke and encourage her members to celebrate the death of thousands innocent people. Simultaneously, her husband, Massoud Rajavi was threatening and doing war cry. Massoud Rajavi said, “This operation (referring to 9/11) was the production of the fundamentalist Islam, now you wait and see what will happen if the revolutionary Islam comes to power (meaning the PMOI).” He was joyful and happy while he was watching the catastrophic event of 9/11 on the widescreen in Bagherzadeh Garrison.

Dear Madame Clinton, unfortunately some of your politicians have closed their eyes on PMOI’s past and its terrorist entity and instead of condemning the PMOI as a terrorist organization, they support and back them up. We are talking about an organization which according to one of the US State Department’s reports, is introduced as one of the most dangerous organizations throughout the world. We are talking about an organization which is totally against capitalism and it is proud of killing the American military advisors by its members during the Shah’s time. We are talking about an organization which one of its teachings was the struggle against Imperialism led by USA. These teachings were compulsory and all the members had to participate in those classes and Mr. Mohammad Seyed Al Mohaddessin, who is currently in charge of PMOI foreign affairs and pretends that he is pro human rights and against terrorism was the instructor of those classes. It is pretty strange that Mrs. Maryam Rajavi and Mr. Mohaddessin rapidly change their faces and become anti terrorism and pro human rights! The leader of this organization, Massoud Rajavi at the beginning of the war between coalition forces led by USA and Iraq declared war against USA and its troops and he said, “The day of revenge and punishment of Imperialism has arrived” and he instructed to all his members to fight against invasion of USA to Iraq, but his instruction was confronted with dissent in general by his rank and file and he was forced to retreat from his instruction.

This organization has made lots of humanitarian-like associations throughout Europe and in USA to deceive parliamentarians and politicians with the glamorous slogans like freedom , democracy , social justice, etc, but in their internal relations they are continuing their infelicitous ideological teachings to brainwash their members for keeping them ready for diabolic and ominous objectives.

This fact that they are disarmed completely by coalition forces led by USA is utterly right, but this question crosses my mind that “is their terrorist ideology which propagandizes death and hollowness also disarmed?” Their ideology is based on terror and maximum violence and the tool for begetting violence and terror is arms, so this ideology which is still working in their internal relations forces them to find arms and in my opinion they are capable of finding arms.

This organization basically is against family and making family. As you know after the ideological revolution in this organization all people who were married, were forced to get divorced, and now you can not find any married person and family in their internal relations. Since nine months ago many families of those stranded members who have been kept in Ashraf have been picketing to see their loved ones. It is more than two decades that those families have not seen their loved ones and now the PMOI operatives and officials do not allow those desperate families to visit their loved ones.

Recently Massoud Rajavi, the supreme leader of PMOI, has declared in one of his messages that if the Iraqi government wants to take its property back (Ashraf Garrison) the world will come across with a mass suicide like Khalkha group and David Koresh. Mr. Rajavi is ready, for his own survival, to sacrifice all those members. Well, this organization with such a cultic ideology probably would carry out such a mass suicide.

Now, Madam Clinton with all cultic behaviors and attitudes of PMOI and its terrorist ideology and beliefs the US politicians should stand under the PMOI emblem and take a picture with PMOI officials on your soil? The PMOI emblem which has a sign of an arm (Kalashnikov) which propagandizes the maximum violence?

Dear Madam Clinton, I urge you to intervene and force the PMOI officials to allow the families to meet with their loved ones, and also I urge you to prevent a human catastrophe (mass suicide) which PMOI supreme leader Massoud Rajavi, in his recent message has threatened. Massoud Rajavi the PMOI supreme leader deliberately and purposely wants to begin a skirmish with Iraqi forces to beget the human catastrophe that I mentioned above.

Madam Clinton, history has showed to us that all the terrorist organizations are alike and they should be isolated internationally. I wish all those captives of Rajavi’s ideology can be freed in the near future.

Regards,
Nader Naderi, Paris
Separated member of PMOI

Mr. Piransar Letter to the US Secretary of States concerning MKO

Honorable US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton

Respectfully,
I had been a member of PMOI (People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran) for more than two decades and I had spent and wasted twenty years of my life in Iraq in different garrisons and bases of this organization. Fortunately, I managed to rescue myself from this organization in 2004 and I took refuge in an American camp called TIPF, which was run and controlled by American army. I stayed in that camp for almost four years waiting to go to my ordinary and simple life and finally in 2008 prior to closing the camp completely, I left the camp. After going through many difficulties and hardships, finally I arrived in Europe safe and sound.

Madame Clinton, it is very painful and woeful for me when I see that your country has allowed some of the members of this organization to stay in your country and take advantage of democracy and freedom which exist in your country for a long time. The terrorists who not only are not less powerful than Al-Qaida but also they are more complicated than them. They enjoy the benefits and privileges of being American citizens and unfortunately some of your political officials back them up. It is pretty strange for me while I hear or see that those PMOI members freely propagandize in favor of their group in your country. Your country became a target of terrorism which because of that thousands American men and women lost their lives in 9/11 and that catastrophic incident gave this message to all American people and politicians that they should be more vigilant and careful. Freedom and democracy is just, good and ideal for people but there are always people who take advantage of the democracy and freedom in favor of their terrifying intensions.

I am a live witness who had lived many years among them in different garrisons and bases, and with the complete knowledge and experience that I have gained about this organization, it is crystal clear for me that the leaders of this organization cunningly by spending huge amounts of money and disguising themselves behind a mask of freedom and democracy just to deceive people as well as the politicians throughout the world, successfully they hid their awful past which is laden with criminal records in Iraq, Iran and even against American citizens in the 70s, and by these tricks they have gathered a few foreign political backers in Europe and USA. But I should remind you that never trust a viper or python because we can not expect them to give birth to a beautiful dove of peace. This organization from its foundation till now has paved its way by utilizing aimless and blind terrorism, bombing and always disguising its image suitable with the condition on the ground and I am sure that your country as the first superpower in the whole world equipped by modern and complicated technology and science has enough evidence and information about this organization, its past and its present. Now the question which crosses our minds is why is this organization allowed and authorized to continue its presence in your country despite of being blacklisted and considered as a terrorist organization in your terrorist list?

Now this question crosses our mind that: “can Al Qaida leader or its representatives live and do their political activities in USA? If these terrorists change their clothes and wear suit and tie instead of their local clothing and eliminate their turban and begin chanting slogans like freedom, democracy and throw expensive parties and banquets, and etc, will your country and your resentful and mournful people who lost someone in 9/11 forget and relinquish their crimes? Have not you maximum penalty for criminals, murderers and slayers in your country like other countries? So the world has its own laws and regulations vis-a-vis terrorism and crime, specifically after the 9/11 catastrophe. So any kind of help, backing and supporting of criminals, slayers, and terrorists is considered as a cursed and obscene act, so why is there a support and help for them?

We are talking about an organization which its outside image is like a godsend angel who is the symbol of justice and equality and freedom loving as well as modernized and revolutionary but I should say to you from the bottom of my heart, according to my own personal experiences which I gained them all by wasting the best years of my life in that organization that this angel is just a diabolic cult but very powerful one in its essence and content, and its entity is completely dependent on the cultic regulation and rules which the other cults should come and take lessons from them. Substantially, which logic does justify the presence of this organization in your country? We are talking about an organization that has killed many Iranian people in their terrorist’s missions inside Iran.

They have killed and suppressed many Iraqi people (Kurds and Shiites) during their uprising in 1990 and 1991 to overthrow Saddam Hussein’s reign and in return they received many valuable and priceless gifts from their godfather, Saddam Hussein. In this organization any complaint and criticism toward its agenda and tactics especially towards its leadership will be punished severely and harshly, and no one dares to criticize against the leadership of this organization. So how do they claim that they are pro-democracy and freedom? I never forget this famous phrase which both Massoud and Maryam Rajavi used to utilize in their ideological indoctrination sessions to brainwash their members and it was “No one in this organization has any right except one right which is the right of dying for the sake of the leadership of this organization.” Can anyone find any trace of freedom and democracy in this phrase? Have we forgotten the desperate members of this organization who set themselves on fire just because Mrs. Maryam Rajavi was detained by the French police?

Is there any logic in these self burnings? But these kind of reactions which are implemented by the members of this organization substantiate a very powerful fact that they are capable of creating and begetting awful scenes wherever and whenever their leadership desires and that is an undeniable fact which all foreign politicians and governments should think about.

We should not forget that this organization had assassinated US military advisors during the Shah’s era (in 70’s) in Iran about which documents are available and I am sure that your central intelligence agency (CIA) has that evidence and documents. We should not forget that many dissident members of this organization who dared to open their mouths and complain about the brutal and inhumane agenda of this organization and its leadership either were mysteriously killed or disappeared and vanished (the names of those members who have been killed or have disappeared are available).

The political unrest after the Iran’s presidential election in 2009 perfectly showed that this organization does not have any popularity among Iranian people whatsoever and on the contrary they are considered as cussed and damned organization by Iranian people because of their cooperation and collaboration with the dictator of Iraq, Saddam Hussein who killed many Iranian citizens, military and civilian, during 8 year war with Iran.

The political unrest in Iran were just a peaceful demonstrations but the leadership of this organization intended to provoke the Iranian people to convert their peaceful demonstrations to a bloody chaos and they wanted to create carnage and bloodshed to take advantage of the blood in the favor of their leadership’s political interests. But the Iranian people were very vigilant and alert so they did not allow them to succeed in their diabolic plot. Actually the PMOI leadership was thinking that with the bloodshed and carnage the people of Iran would be provoked and instigated and as a result of that they would come on the streets of Tehran and other cities so the Iranian regime would have been overthrown by Iranian people, then the PMOI leadership would use this chance to return to Iran and confiscate the political power, but the truth is that Iranian people who are resentful of any violence and bloodshed, overcame the PMOI’s diabolic plot and they unanimously said No to the violence and bloodshed which was the desire of the PMOI leadership.

Dear Madam Clinton, any democracy and freedom has two aspects. The positive aspect of any democracy and freedom is for the people who are living under the democracy and freedom to promote their lives and gain whatever they want in their lives. But the negative aspect of any democracy and freedom is the people who want to take advantage of those two, democracy and freedom, to forward their diabolic intensions by using the levers which exist in any democratic and progressive countries. As a veteran and former member of this organization and according to my own knowledge of their internal relations and their thoughts and ideology , this is my humane duty to warn you that do not trust them by no means and do not be deceived by their beautiful slogans which are totally hollow and meaningless for them. This organization is not just “suspect of terrorism”, it is a terrorist organization itself which has come on the political stage equipped with glamorous and deceitful slogans and words which are totally meaningless and ridiculous in their leaders’ minds. I am ready to be present in any place and any court of law to testify about their crimes and reveal their real face which has been hidden purposely behind their mask of freedom and democracy just to forward their cultic ambitions.

With desire for peace and peaceful coexistence without any violence , bloodshed and terror.

Mr. Sarrafpour Letter to the US Secretary of States concerning MKO

Honorable Secretary State of United States of America,

Greeting, Mr. Sarrafpour Letter to the US Secretary of States concerning MKO
I am a former MKO member with over 22 years presence in Iraq and I also spent approximately four years at one of United States of America Military Camps in "Khaales" region in Iraq (Close to Ashraf Camp) after Iraq invasion. During this period I have witnessed a great deal of injustice, oppression, psychological and physical pressures by the leaders of the MKO organization on its own members. Furthermore, during this period, I have closely observed and heard all the Political and religious positions taken by MKO leader Massoud Rajavi. Unfortunately, it is a pity for me to let you know that the political and religious remarks made by MKO leader and his wife Maryam Rajavi similarity, contrast clearly with their remarks shown up or said in highly classified inter-organizational documents. In other words, what you and outside world leader hear from the leadership of MKO does not fit what they present inside their cult. Furthermore, their idea of dominating and leading the world expressed daily in all internal meeting, is one that you and other world politician can never hear.

The Leaders of MKO cult know very well (unlike Taliban and Al-Qaida leader), the need to choose the most beautiful humanitarian words in order to penetrate and perhaps dominate global opinion poll and consequently get acceptance by modern world’s political system as main opposition or alternative to their suppressive totalitarian partners of Islamic Republic of Iran. As an example, despite their effort to claim a humanitarian face for their organization that stand for equal rights for women’s and minorities in Western world, they have been imposing the most difficult pressure on Mujahed women internally, including, one of the most awful form of Gender Separation within their campus in Iraq. Consequently, as part of their policy of policy of gender separation, even gas station and water treatment plants are both divided by male and female section, not to mention that women hospitals are completely separated from men’s hospital. Furthermore, MKO has also restricted walking in public places including campus’ park, museum and even the cemetery to certain hours for women and separately for men to avoid any cross gender contact, perhaps a step farther than Taliban in gender separation. Of course, Massoud Rajavi officially stated (on September 11, 2001) that if al-Qaida with its fundamentalist Islam can do such an act (September 11th Tragedy), we can do much bigger acts with our revolutionary Islam. apparently such a gender separation is one of his achievement!! And of course, I have no doubt he will pursue his idea of forming a haram of all Mujahed women whether he will able to rise to power. From the perspective of Massoud Rajavi, all the women are just her confidante and must be separated from their families. This was exactly his hypothesis that we were told when in Ashraf Campus.

Dear Ms. Clinton,

The leaders of MKO cult has been already following the policy of disintegration of families to gain full control on their members and perhaps could be more dangerous than Taliban or Iranian Suppressive government whether they could rise to power. As a proof of my statement, the doors of "Ashraf Campus" in Iraq has been closed to the families who come from all over the world to visit their loved ones for very long time and MKO leader forbid the basic visitation right for its members’ family. Even though, I am a living example, spending 22 years in "Ashraf Campus" since my teen years and forbidden to contact any family member, I think, I rather give you another example to show the depth of this tragedy. A clear example is "Maryam Babaii" a 22 years old girl whose father was captured by Sadam Hossein (during Iran Iraq war) just 3 month before Maryam’s birth. After spending some time in Iraqi prison and as part of deal between MKO and Sadam, which allow any Iranian POW joining MKO, Mr. Babaii joined MKO to avoid persecution by Iraq. Mr. Babaii is still in "Ashraf Campus" and was not allowed to contact his family. Two years ago, this young girl (Maryam) hears that his father is alive. During this period MKO leader did not allowed Mr. Babai even be aware of his family and daughter. Maryam thought his father was killed in the war … After hearing that her father is alive, Maryam and her Grandfather went to Iraq and demanded to meet her father however, MKO leadership deny such permission to Maryam and her grandfather to meet Maryam’s father. It is now over two years that this innocent girl who has never seen her father, goes to "Ashraf Campus" shedding tears and looking forward to meet her father even for an hour, just to be rejected.

Dear Ms. Clinton,

You are a mother yourself and I am sure you understand the feeling of this young girl (Maryam) and her old grandfather to meet the father of this young girl. Why MKO leaders panic to allow a father that after 22 years still have not seen her daughter, reunite even for an hour with his family? The truth is that, Rajavi and MKO leader trying to keep absolute control over their members by separating them from their family; Consequently, getting undivided loyalty and attention. At the same time, in Europe, Maryam Rajavi, is trying to claim a humanitarian face for her MKO cult while denying a young girl to meet her father. Why they are so scare of meeting a young girl with her father?

Dear Ms. Clinton,

The leader of this dangerous religious sect (MKO Leaders) have been taking hostage thousands of men and women in "Ashraf camp" with several tricks that as a former member, I am well aware. They are trying to portray such a determination and will of their own to live in Ashraf campus but this is not simply true. They use very complex tricks in order to keep the members there. Again, as a former member who has spent over 22 years in Ashraf Campus, I understand and well aware of the tricks this notorious organization is using and I am willing to testify in any court what facilities and Tricks they have been applying to force their members avoiding expression of their real thought or escape freely from this imposed prison. Recently, they have been taking even more extensive protective measures so no one can escape this prison called Ashraf Campus according to few former members who managed to escape.

Dear Ms. Clinton,

As a former member of the MKO who managed to escape from this cult, considering your power and capabilty, and for the sake of humanity, I would like to request:
1 – To help so the representatives of international organizations and human rights meet members of MKO group in a neutral and risk free environment outside Ashraf Campus and without presence of the representative of MKO with all MKO members and ask their true opinion.

2 – to pressure the leaders of this cult to allow families to visit their loved one in a neutral and friendly environment and stop playing with their members emotion. And to pressure them to stand for basic human rights of their members and their family, and maintain open communication and be informed of world news.

3 – to pressure these cult leaders to allow the basic right of access to Internet and free world so these members can freely exchange email, call or opinion with their families and friends.

Unfortunately in the last 25 years none of Mujahedeen members have been able to access any phone, internet magazines or newspaper. In the garrison that they call it a "City", unfortunately, no one is allowed to have a cellular phone or even access to any magazine or newspaper. It is a humanitarian disaster that majority of MKO members in Ashraf except the very small number of trusted even don’t know how to use Internet or mobile phone. Having say that, these members need your immediate humanitarian assistance to escape this mental and physical prison called "Ashraf Campus".

Appreciate your humanitarian efforts is greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

Help the hostages taken by terrorist Mojahedin Khalq

Open letter to Secretary of State Mrs. Hilary Clinton
From Mr. Ali Ghashghavi, Iran Green Association, Germany, October

Dear Secretary of State,
I would like to introduce myself and give you a brief history of my experience with the Mojahedin Open letter to Secretary of State Mrs. Hilary Clinton From Mr. Ali Ghashghavi, Iran Green Association Khalq and their conduct in Iraq during the time I was a member. I have been treated with Dark Age kinds of torture and inhuman conduct on the direct order of the leadership of Mojahedin Khalq (MKO, MEK, Rajavi cult) only because I rejected the training and execution of terrorist activities. I was brought to their so called courts, forced to sign and confess to whatever they asked me and was sentenced to death. Subsequently I was sent to Abu Ghraib prison of Saddam along side other disaffected members of Mojahedin Khalq to serve long sentences. This is the time that Saddam was under pressure by the US government as well as much of the international community. With the fall of Saddam the benefactor of Massoud Rajavi leader of Mojahedin Khalq, I managed to free myself and now live in Germany.

I am writing this letter only to remind your good self of the situation of the people who are still trapped in this organisation. Now, years after the fall of Saddam, many of the captives inside this organisation are still trapped and have not achieved their basic human rights. The silence of the international community and the open hand given to this terrorist religious cult within the western lobbies including in your country US, has encouraged the group to increase its abuse of human rights and continue its spread of terrorism and hatred in free societies.

This way of life has been continuing for the last two decades in the closed camp in Iraq. A way of life which is more like an exercise of deliberate hostility toward the modern world and a way which is dreaming using the cult and cultish experiences to gain power over the civilised Iranian society. A dream obviously doomed to fail. After losing all credibility amongst Iranians over the last few decades, the cult is now trying to portray a picture of political opposition for itself by taking the internal critics as hostages.

After the September 11 disaster, the group celebrated the event and distributed candy etc in the presence of their leader Massoud Rajavi. They broadcasted every song and march they had for the celebration of the assassination of the American servicemen who they had killed in previous years in Iran. They clearly showed how distanced their way of thinking is compared with the normal social feelings of normal people in free societies.

Considering the backward mentality of terrorists who can even cheer for terrorist acts against innocent people, it seems that helping people to free themselves from Mojahedin Khalq terrorist organisation is a necessity.

Mojahedin try to hide their true face under the disguise of made up human rights names and groups so that they can stay in Iraq with the hope of one day starting their terror campaign again. They are also trying their best to come off the list of terrorists in US for the same purpose. The history of Mojahedin Khalq and the way they are treating the families of their victims inside their camp in Iraq clearly shows their vast differences with normal people. They are clearly demonstrating their true belief that “you are either with us or against us”
It is good to see that the State Department has included the name of National Council of Resistance (NCRI) in the list of terrorists as a another name for Mojahedin Khalq but we believe that there should be less tolerance of this organisation and certainly more help to free the ones who do not wish to continue working for this terrorist organisation.

The families of the victims of this terrorist cult, some of them have not seen their loved ones for the last two decades, are now picketing in front of the camp for the last few months demanding visiting rights to their loved ones. But the Mojahedin cult not only deny any proper response to their demands and questions, they are now clearly using the captive dissidents inside the camp as hostages to their goals.

Today everyone knows that the presence of Mojahedin Khalq and using them as a tool in political games not only has no benefit to the people of Iran[…]

Your sincerely,
Ali Ghashghavi
