He has never been allowed by the group leaders to contact his family in Iran. \u201cMy brother lives in the MEK\u2019s camp in Albania or in better words, he is imprisoned in the MEK,\u201d Mahin writes in the letter.<\/p>\n<p>Mohammad Jaafar was a soldier serving for the Iranian army in Iran-Iraq war. He was taken as a war prisoner in 1988 and eventually he was taken as a hostage by the MEK recruiters working in Iraqi camps.<\/p>\n<p>Mahin Najafi tells Javid Rehman that under the rule of the MEK leaders, her brother is deprived from freedom, the right to get married and have a family. \u201cAre you informed that the MEK brainwashes its members?\u201d she asks Rehman. \u201cYou must pursue the situation of human rights inside the MEK.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As she states, this is the third letter Mahin has so far emailed to the UN\u2019s special rapporteur on human rights in Iran. She warns the rapporteur on the abuses the MEK leaders commit in their modern slavery system. \u201cThe few thousand people who live in the MEK camp are not allowed to access the outside world, to contact their families,\u201d she writes. \u201cThey are deprived from any form of freedom. Isn\u2019t it violation of human rights? How long do I and other families of MEK hostages have to suffer separation from our loved ones.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mahin Najafi ends her letter by asking Javid Rehman to send a delegation in order to visit the MEK camp in Albania and to interview each member of the group in person.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mahin Najafi, the sister of Mohammad Jaafar Najafi, member of the Mujahedin-e Khalq wrote a letter to the special rapporteur on human rights in Iran, Javid Rehman.
