On February 23, official websites of the terrorist Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO/MEK/PMOI) announced that their she-guru Maryam Rajavi “met with officials and members of European Parliament”. “The meeting was organized in the run up to the International Day of Women” according to the group’s sites where Maryam Rajavi’s so-called speech was also published.
Under the cover of an elegant muslim Iranian woman, she claims to be concerned over what she calls “tragic suppression of women by the regime”. Then she introduces her cult of personality as an example of “women’s participation in leadership positions which supplies the dynamic and vitality for this resistance’s perseverance and progress”. She speaks of the role of her female members as “a guarantor for lasting democracy and development in tomorrow‘s Iran”
She also makes too much fanfare about “forced veiling in Iran and the inability of Islamic Republic to reform.”She ridiculously emphasizes that “let any woman choose what to wear and what not to wear”!
Yes, Mrs. Rajavi,
This is the minimum freedom for Iranian women as human beings. How can you guarantee lasting democracy in Iran while your cult members are all forced to wear scarves and military uniforms? Yes, let them choose what to wear and what not to wear. No Ashraf female member is allowed to wear the least casual clothes. They are never allowed to use cosmetics. If as you claimed, you are really inspired by the genuine Islam why are the members of your cult never allowed to decide for their eating time, their clothing, their sleeping time, their work schedule and any small choice they can have in their personal life?
Maryam Rajavi claims that women are suppressed for their appearance and for the manner they walk or talk. She might have forgotten that her cult members are not allowed to talk to their peers let alone talking to their opposite-sex comerades. In Camp Ashraf, even the time women can use eating place, gas station … are different from those of male members.
Mrs. Rajavi,
We say that if you are sincere in your claims for people’s freedom, then the first step would be to agree with the members’ right, the most basic right, including the right to choose their own clothing, to visit their beloved ones easily, to live among their family members especially their children and spouses, to get married and have children.
In Maryam Rajavi’s destructive cult the most fundamental human rights are denied, according to former members and numerous reports by journalists. Following the so-called ideological revolutions in the terrorist cult of MKO, all couples were forced to divorce even those who had once been forced to marry a comrade whom the leaders had ordered to marry.
Then in 1991, under the pretext of the Gulf War I all children were separated from their parents. Camp Ashraf was removed of children who were sent to Europe in order to be abused for the group’s propagandistic and fundraising activities.
In a terrorist destructive cult where any family life, emotion, love and individuality are forbidden, Maryam Rajavi’s claims for democracy and women’s freedom sound comic. For those who are informed of human right violations committed by MKO leaders, Maryam Rajavi’s speech in Europe is just like a hilarious comedy!
She speaks of complete equality in social, cultural and economic rights between women and men. It is all too much for Mrs. Rajavi while she is not able to guarantee the least right of living in a normal society with normal regulations and atmosphere.
Doubtlessly, Mrs. Rajavi’s few sympathizers in European Parliament including Mr. Alejo Videl – Quadras, EP Vice President and Edit Bauer of the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality, should do some effort to increase their knowledge about the cult of Rajavi in order that they would not be tricked by Rajavi’s gang. They might not have considered the speeches of Mrs. Nasrin Ebrahimi (who defected from MKO destructive cult in 2008 used to live in Camp Ashraf for about thirteen years and witnessed a lot of terrifying facts about the cult) at the European Parliament on September ninth 2008 when she said:”the women in MEK are not only barred from marrying but they are forced to work for long hours, do so hard manual jobs under the hot sun every day that they no more look good, this way they do not think they can attract a man…” .
The Rajavi’s heighten their sabotage to the extreme extent when they try to cut female members of their cult from their only source of hope. ”they try to kill any hope in heart of women of Ashraf by removing their womb through a hysterectomy surgery which is operated under various pretexts. So far ten percent of Ashraf women have sustained such an operation” Nasrin Ebrahimi added. Is this the women right Maryam Rajavi promises to offer the Iranian women?
She proposes her only option for her alleged democratic change in Iran while she lacks the ability to find a solution to the problematic declining situation her group is stuck in. today the only option for victimized members of Rajavi’s cult is the dissolution of her cult in order to offer the captured members an opportunity to get released from the suffocating cult of MKO and to decide for their own fate with their own free will.

Reporters from Iraqi and International media are at the gates of Camp Ashraf to report on a protracted stand-off between the leaders of the terrorist cult Mojahedin-e Khalq and the families of residents held hostage in the camp. The families are demanding to meet with their relatives.
The MKO have refused. The MKO leadership enforces strict isolation on its members and does not allow them to leave the camp or have access to media or communications. Because of this, their families have not had news or met up for over twenty-five years.
History has seen various ideologies that generally have been of the closed type. The most famous ideologies “Liberalism “ , “ Marxism” and “ Religion” are significant examples of closed ideologies that undemocratically view themselves as righteous.
The followers of such ideologies have prepared superficial answers to every question. They simply formulate and solve the most complicated problems of the world and never see any ambiguity or mistake in their analysis. The leaders of closed ideologies are not knowledgeable enough although they have enormous claims of helping humanity. They don’t believe in necessity of challenge, research and efforts to progress in their path. Thus their absolute approach and their non-dimensional view lead them to decline.
Mujahedin Khalq Organization is the living instance of closed ideologies which fanatically sticks to its cult-like doctrine. Justifying all phenomena along with its objectives, MKO represents a thought of which the social function supposes the absolute right of understanding the truth for itself and never believes in exchanging, choosing or adapting other thoughts. The consequence of closing the doors against external thoughts or communities is the declining situation in which MKO is trapped now.
On the opposite side, the supporters of open ideologies view problems relatively, dynamically and depending on phases. Although they believe in the righteousness of their values and ideas, they see themselves as responsible for moving toward growth of the values they are constantly reconstructing, elevating and flourishing.
The absolutism of MKO ideology has led it to an irrational society without variety of thoughts and a cult of personality.
The type of relationship between human and ideology has caused violence and tyranny in MKO. The closed ideology of MKO wants the human for the ideology so the members of Mujahedin serve their ideology.
That’s why they see an undemocratic legitimacy in their social and political functions.
The leaders of mujahedin and especially Massoud Rajavi do not recognize the knowledge and will of individual human beings denying their rights to decide for their own future. That’s the substantial characteristic of their closed ideology which ends in the cult of personality around Massoud Rajavi. For MKO change, evolution, perfection and continuous growth have been replaced by fossilization and dogmatism.
Thus, one cannot see any change in the cult-like system organized in MKO or in MKO’s language toward its supporters or against its dissidents. Although Maryam Rajavi makes too much effort to draw a democratic, modern progressive image of its organization, the reality, based on testimonies and evidences, proves the opposite fact.

After ten days of a stand-off, a small group of Iranian families have staged a sit-in outside the gates of Camp Ashraf in Diyala province in Iraq. The families’ simple, straightforward and only demand is that they be able to meet with their relatives who are trapped inside the camp. Camp Ashraf still houses around 3500 members of the terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq organisation which the Government of Iraq plans to remove from the country.

From the start, Iraqi security forces who guard Camp Ashraf would not allow the families to enter the camp because they could not guarantee their safety. Instead, the Iraqis told the MKO to release the handful of individuals concerned to meet with their families before returning to the camp.

So far the Mojahedin leaders are not cooperating. The MKO’s immediate reaction to the family visits was to state that “agents of the clerical regime’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security are being dispatched to Camp Ashraf under the cover of family members of Ashraf residents, the Iraqi committee responsible for suppression of the residents, under the instructions of Nouri al-Maliki, has intensified cruel and inhumane siege on Ashraf”.

A quote from Massoud Rajavi stated that members were not allowed to visit with their families even if an MKO minder was present.
