When the 21-year-old Amir joined the Mujahedin Khalq Organization in 1994 he was motivated by the young \u201cthin\u201d Massoud Rajavi whom he had seen in the MEK\u2019s early videos and photos of Massoud speaking in the meetings. \u201cA few years later, in more films of Massoud Rajavi which were taken after the death of Musa Khiabani and Ashraf Rabiee, he looked like a king,\u201d Amir Nematollahi says in his recent interview with Siamak Naderi. \u201cMassoud had become a fat man who was living like a king spending the money that was given to him in the name of fighting for the Iranian people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after his arrival in the MEK\u2019s headquarters in Iraq, Amir received trainings for operating explosives and launching bombs. He was then ordered to cross the Iranian border to launch a terrorist attack in Tehran\u2019s Police headquarters. \u201cI was told that the building was only for Police authorities but when I went there, I saw something else,\u201d Amir says. \u201cI saw about a hundred of young innocent soldiers as old as I was.\u201d Amir quit the operation and returned to the MEK\u2019s camp in Iraq. \u201cI told lie to my commanders, I said, \u2018the bomb did not explode and I don\u2019t know why\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13883\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13883\" class=\"wp-image-13883 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Naderi-Nematollahi-1.jpg\" alt=\"Siamak Naderi and Nematollahi\" width=\"700\" height=\"299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Naderi-Nematollahi-1.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Naderi-Nematollahi-1-600x256.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Naderi-Nematollahi-1-300x128.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-13883\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Siamak Naderi and Amir Nematollahi;the MEK ex-operative<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This was the jerk of his hesitations about the MEK and its leaders. He found the group\u2019s main leader as a despotic dictator who wanted the absolute obedience of his followers. \u201cUnder the name of struggle, there was an oppressive atmosphere in the MEK,\u201d he recalls. \u201cTwo people were not allowed to sit next to each other in the eating place, twice in one single day. They were immediately accused of planning conspiracy against the group. They called it Mahfel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As the MEK is a \u201cNo Exit\u201d establishment, dissident members of the group are never allowed to simply leave it particularly when the group was located in Iraq under the rule of Saddam Hussein. \u201cEvery one who entered the MEK, his passport was confiscated by the group,\u201d he explains how members were locked up in the MEK. \u201cHis arrival was not registered by Iraq government so he was considered an illegal person in that country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This was the leverage to suppress the person who wanted to leave the MEK. He had to go to the Iraqi\u2019s notorious prison, Abu Quraib for eight years. Before that he had to stay in the MEK\u2019s quarantine \u2013actually jail&#8211; for two years. And prior to all these imprisonments he was coerced under long hours of brainwashing meetings in order to get convinced not to leave the group. Amir Nematollahi explains how the meetings went on: \u201cEveryone who wanted to leave was supposed to attend a meeting where he was put under harsh peer pressure. Commanders and even peers humiliated him insulting, spitting on him and even beating him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, the public meeting was not the end of this violent procedure. \u201cIf he was not convinced to stay in the group, he was taken to a smaller meeting where a dozen of commanders tortured him,\u201d Amir states. \u201cThese actions were taken systematically under the direct order of Massoud Rajavi.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Amir states the names several MEK members who got victims of the totalitarian structure of the Cult of Rajavi. Ali Tabrizi is one of the members he recounts his heartbreaking fate in the MEK camp:<br \/>\n\u201cAli was a young boy from Tabriz. He had been a sympathizer of the group and he had legally traveled to Turkey and then to Iraq but shortly after he arrived in the group, he declared that he did not want to stay there. The group leaders seized his legal passport and handed him over to Iraqi intelligence. He was eventually jailed in Abu Quraib where terrible living conditions caused him to get infected by tuberculosis. He was almost dying when an Iraqi doctor helped him to get treatments in a hospital. Having become so desperate, Ali wrote a letter to the MEK and asked them to let him get back to the camp. However, when he returned, again he asked for his passport. He told the group leaders \u2018it is your duty to send me back to Turkey\u2019. Later, he was disappeared. He was my friend but I did not see him in the meetings anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Amir recalls Maryam Rajavi\u2019s words saying \u201cMassoud has come to save the world\u201d! The former bomb maker of the MEK terror teams says, \u201cThe Rajavis do not provide the expenses of dental treatment for a young member of their cult but they run their kingdom with the funds they were offered by Saddam Hussein and Saudi Arabia.\u201d<br \/>\nAmir Nematolahi speaks out about the human rights violations committed by the MEK leaders twenty years after his defection from the MEK. \u201cI kept silent for over twenty years,\u201d he argues. \u201cToday, I am speaking because I want my testimonies to be recorded in the history. The MEK leaders must be tried in a fair trial for what they did.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Born in a Mujahed family, Amir Nematolahi was enthusiastic to fight the Iranian government.
