Mujahedin Khalq Organization members' families

Who can help us deprived families?

Ms. Masoumeh Azad Manjiri, the sister of Maryam Azad Manjiri, who was detained in the Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK) camp in Albania, wrote a letter to the World Health Organization requesting that her sister’s health be taken care of.

The text of the letter is as follows:

Representative of the World Health Organization in Albania

Greetings and best regards,

I am Masoumeh Azad Manjiri, the sister of Maryam Azad Manjiri. My sister is currently in the Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK) camp in Albania. He left Iran with his wife Mohammad Norouzi 32 years ago.

We later found out that they were deceived by the forces of the MEK and transferred to the organization’s camp in Iraq. In all these 32 years, I have not met her or even heard her voice. It is the wish of every sister to be able to communicate with her loved one and be informed about her condition.

You know that even in the most horrible prisons in the world, and in the case of the most dangerous prisoners, families are allowed to call and visit, but we are deprived of this minimum possibility. Who can help us deprived families? Which international body should we take our complaint to? Who would support us?

Worst of all, I think my sister has a disease caused by Covid-19 and is living in difficult conditions, and the health facilities inside the camp are not good and they have suffered many casualties so far, because the environment there is completely closed. The MEK does not allow its members to communicate with their families, and the Albanian government does not allow Iranians to travel to that country to pursue the issue.

I desperately ask you not to neglect any action that is imagined in order to alleviate the worries of me and my expectant family, so that news of my sister will reach us and we will be able to communicate.
Please understand the feelings of me and my family and do not hesitate to pursue this issue.

Thanks and best regards,
Masoumeh Azad Manjiri

Massoud Rajavi

Rajavi orders widespread assassinations throughout Iran

In response to the recent message of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO)’s leader, in which he ordered the group’s terror cells to initiate widespread assassinations throughout Iran, families of Iranian victims of terrorism have written a letter to the international institutions of the European Union calling for legal proceedings against this terrorist group.

“The families of terror victims in Iran call on all international authorities and institutions in the European Union to, along with restricting the activities of this group in Europe, prosecute the leaders of this terrorist group in an international court with the presence of their victims,” the letter read.

Terrorism

According to this letter, the MKO leader’s order demonstrates adoption of a violent strategy towards the judicial process and the court hearing on March 8 and 9, 2021 where a large number of former members filed a complaint about years of torture and violation of human rights by this group.

As the open letter points out: “the group’s recent move to establish terror cells in Iran and their acts of sabotage and violence, which is officially admitted and prompted by the group, proved that the MeK is still a militant cult and a far cry from becoming an opposition group.”

Referring to The MKO’s location in Europe and freely activity of its members in European countries, families of Iranian terror victims warned that the group’s previous crimes and the violent threats its leader made on March 8 as well as any upcoming terrorist acts and assassinations in Iran, are partly the responsibility of the countries which have sheltered this group.

Massoud Rajavi

Read the full text of the letter below:

We are the families of the victims of assassinations and violence of the terrorist group Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (aka MKO, MeK, PMOI) who lost our children, parents and grandparents in targeted and blind operations of this group. We have repeatedly protested against the negligence of international institutions in carrying out their obligations such as restraining this group and taking necessary measures to start prosecuting its leaders for their terrorist acts and crimes against humanity.

In our earlier correspondence, we had warned that ignoring their violent acts and behaviors would lead to this group’s return to violence and aggression.

As a result of this negligence, on March 8, Massoud Rajavi, leader of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization who has been living in hiding for nearly two decades due to fear of criminal prosecution and has been leaving occasional voice messages for members of his cult, broadcast a message to members of his terror cells known as”rebel centers”in which he ordered them to make use of weapons and initiate widespread assassinations throughout Iran.

This order of the MKO leader clearly demonstrates adoption of a violent strategy towards the judicial process and the court hearing on March 8 and 9, 2021 where a large number of former members filed a complaint about years of torture and violation of human rights by this group.

Fearing that ex-members of his cult sue him in court in Tehran and disregarding dozens of international documents on MeK crimes, terrorist acts and violation of human rights, Massoud Rajavi has escaped forward and invited Iranian officials to appear in an international court. On the other hand, former members and survivors of this terrorist group demand to go to an international court of law along with Massoud Rajavi and other leaders of this group to be fairly judged. Do Massoud Rajavi and his wife, as leaders of this cult, dare to appear in an international court of law before the victims of the crimes they have committed? And are EU officials and international institutions based in this continent ready to hold such a trial? This is the legal obligation of European officials and institutions. The MeK is located in Europe and its members travel freely in it. Therefore, the group’s previous crimes and the violent threats its leader made on March 8 as well as any upcoming terrorist acts and assassinations in Iran, are partly the responsibility of the countries which have sheltered this group.

In his message which promoted violence, leader of the MeK called on his elements to provide his rebel centers, with names and addresses of employees of Iran’s military, security and judicial institutions so that for what he calls the”Great Day of Justice”, weapons can be fired at their chests! In the message, Rajavi made mention of the early years after the 1979 revolution when his group’s death squads assassinated Iranian civilians and officials. He requested the rebel centers to do the same.

As mentioned, numerous reports have been published by the research centers, governmental institutions and western intelligence agencies about this cult and its threats.

The FBI’s 1987 report; a Court of Appeals document on June 25, 1999, based on a CIA Report; US Government Statement in 1997; a report by Canada’s SIRC in 1992; US Department of Justice’s report in April 2009; State Department’s Reports in 2004, 2005, and 2006; Executive Order No. 13224 by the US Secretary of State on Terrorist Financing of the National Council of Resistance and the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization in August 2003; US Court of Appeals’ verdicts in 1999, 2005, and 2009; FBI’s reports in August 2002 and November 2004; a report by the American Institute for Political Studies (IPS) in 2012; a 2005 Human Rights Watch report named No Exit; German BfV agency’s reports in 2004 and 2005; a document regarding the MEK’s inclusion in the European Union terrorist list printed in the Official Journal of the Union in December 2007; a report by security service of North Rhine-Westphalia State in October 2005; the 2008 North Rhine-Westphalia State Protection Office’s Report; Foreign Affairs Committee of the British Parliament’s report in July 2003; the British Foreign Relations Committee’s report in July 2004; official Statement by the UK Foreign Secretary in May 2008; Statement by the French Minister for Justice in June 2003; Swedish Government Resolution on 2 September 2004, and Swedish Immigration Office Decision against the MEK; EU Declaration on 5 April 2002; the US Deputy Secretary of State’s reports to Congress and the Foreign Affairs Committee of House of Representatives in October 1994; the 2009 Rand Corporation’s report; Saban Center for Middle East Policy’s report in June 2009; Columbia Court of Appeals’ report in 2010; and US Council on Foreign Relations’ report in July 2014.

These documents, reports and verdicts are only part of what proves the violence and terrorism of the Mojahedin. The group, which was disarmed in 2003 as a militant group affiliated with Saddam Hussein’s regime following the US invasion of Iraq, has since acted in Europe, pretending itself as a political group opposed to the Iranian government. However, the group’s recent move to establish terror cells in Iran and their acts of sabotage and violence, which is officially admitted and prompted by the group, proved that the MeK is still a militant cult and a far cry from becoming an opposition group. One should add to it the recent order of Massoud Rajavi to the terror cells to identify Iranian citizens working in judicial and military institutions and “execute justice on them”.

The families of terror victims in Iran once again call on all international authorities and institutions in the European Union to, along with restricting the activities of this group in Europe, prosecute the leaders of this terrorist group in an international court with the presence of their victims. We also declare our full readiness to cooperate in this process by providing the required documents to the responsible institutions.

European Commission
Council of the European Union
European parliament
Secretariat of the European Parliament
European Court of Human Rights
Court of Justice of the European Union
Council of Europe Committee on Counter-Terrorism

Sincerely yours,
Habilian Association (Families of Iranian victims of terrorism)

Mujahedin Khalq Organization members' families

Masoumeh Azad Manjiri expresses strong concern over the health of her sister Maryam

Ms. Masoumeh Azad Manjiri wrote the following letter to the World Health Organization in Albania regarding the health of her sister Maryam Azad Manjiri:

Representative of the World Health Organization in Albania

Greetings and best regards
I am Masoumeh Azad Manjiri, the sister of Maryam Azad Manjiri, who is currently in the closed and remote camp of the Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK) in Albania and has no connection with the outside world.

My family and I have not seen Maryam for many years and we have not heard her voice and we have not even received a message from her, and this issue always torments us.

Now the news worries us a lot, and that is that Maryam is probably infected with the Covid-19 virus and is in a very acute condition, and on the other hand, the health conditions inside the camp are also unfavorable.

We, Maryam’s family, have no desire other than hearing her voice and hearing about her health. Of course, Albania does not give us visas in support of the MEK and does not allow us to travel. The MEK does not even allow a single phone call to its members.

I desperately ask you not to neglect any action that is conceivable and fruitful in order to alleviate my and my family’s concerns, so that news of my sister reaches us and communication becomes possible.

You probably know very well how a sister feels in such a situation. Is it acceptable to prevent MEK members from communicating with their families in these circumstances?

As the World Health Officer, I urge you to intervene in this situation of the spread of the coronavirus, which is epidemic and poses a great danger in closed environments where contamination can spread rapidly and cause irreparable damage. Please make the necessary checks, and I request you to enlighten the officials of the organization so that they can arrange for our daughter to contact us and get her family out of worry.

Many Thanks,

Albania

On Hadi Sani khani’s enforced disappearance

Mr. Manouchehr Abdi, former member of MEK, who was with another former member Hadi Sani Khani in Albania for a couple of years, has written a letter to Edi Rama the Albanian Prime Minister expressing the grave concern of the families and the former members particularly the family of Hadi Sani Khani over his enforced disappearance.

The text of the letter is as follows:

Honorable Prime Minister of the Government of the Republic of Albania

Greetings and best regards,

I am Manouchehr Abdi, a former member of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK, MKO). This terrorist organization is now based in Albania. I left this organization in 2018 and lived in Albania for a couple of years and now I live with my family in Iran.

A close and sincere friend of mine is Mr. Hadi Sani Khani, a resident of Tirana and a former member of the MEK, who left the organization in 2016. The MEK paid him an asylum pension for a short time, but when he refused to accept an offer to work with the organization and spy on other former members, his allowances were cut off. Hadi did not have travel documents and could not leave Albania, nor was he allowed to work, and he was forced to work illegally in Tirana.

He has always been in touch with me, but I have not heard from him for more than a month now. I was also informed that he had not been in contact with his family or any of his friends during this time. My concern increased when I found out that the MEK had published a letter attributed to Hadi on its websites, which was completely contrary to all of Hadi’s statements and writings during these 4 years. Hadi was an active and serious critic of the MEK and its leadership, Massoud and Maryam Rajavi. He has given numerous interviews to the international media in this regard.

Hadi Sani-khani and manouchehr Abdi

With the knowledge that I have of Hadi as a close and intimate friend, there is no logical justification for his prolonged lack of contact with his family and friends. One of his serious criticisms of the MEK was that the organization’s officials did not allow members to communicate with their families and friends. If he could communicate, he would do so unless he was captured. For the past four years, he has never lost touch with family and friends. How is it that he has not been in touch for more than a month and no one knows about him? Has he been abducted and imprisoned in Albania? Who benefits from this kind of work other than the MEK? Has he been smuggled from Albania because he does not have travel documents? Was he abducted and then left the country illegally and forcefully?

The conspiracies against Mr. Ehsan Bidi, another MEK former member in Albania over the past year and a half, by the corrupt elements in the national security apparatus at the request of the MEK have multiplied concerns.

Dear Mr. Prime Minister, I urge you to follow up on the enforced disappearance of my dear friend Hadi Sani Khani in your country so that he can be traced and his family and friends can be relieved of their worries.

Sincerely,
Manouchehr Abdi

Mujahedin Khalq Organization members' families

Abdollah Ostovari’s family bring charge against the Albanian Gov.

Mr. Yadollah Ostovari sent a complaint on behalf of the Ostovari family to the UN Committee on Enforced Disappearances.

Honorable Committee on Enforced Disappearances of the United Nations
Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights

Greetings,
Respectfully, I am Yadollah Ostovari, the son of Hossein Ali. I have five brothers and three sisters. My older brother Abdollah Ostovari traveled to Germany on April 4, 1980 to continue his education and remained in Germany until 1988. The family kept in touch with him by letter and telephone. However they lost contact.
After being unaware of him for 7 years, we learned that he had gone to Iraq and joined a group called the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK), and is based in the organization’s headquarters in Iraq.

We had no further information until the fall of Saddam Hossein, and the family traveled to Iraq several times in the hope of meeting him at Camp Ashraf.

However, we were not allowed to meet or even make phone calls by the officials of the organization in Iraq.
After many incidents that happened to this group, we learned that the whole group was transferred from Iraq to the European country of Albania and settled in a remote camp in this country. So far, any attempt by the family to contact him in Albania by sending letters to the Albanian authorities has not been beneficial.

You are aware that the Albanian government, in cooperation with the MEK, does not issue visas to Iranian citizens, and therefore our efforts to travel to this country and follow the issue closely have been in vain.
Therefore, we ask that international body to investigate our complaint and take measures to oblige the Albanian government to its legal and international obligations and to allow us to go to that country in search of our missing loved one by issuing a visa. Or at least to provide us means of communication.

We urge you to learn about the latest situation of Abdollah Ostovari, who is supposed to be in the MEK camp in Albania, in order to put an end to many years of family worries and at least provide the possibility of a telephone call.

We are worried about the health condition of my brother at MEK Camp

Representative of the World Health Organization in Albania

Greetings and best regards,

I am Hamid Reza Tadayoni, the brother of Mehdi Tadayoni, who is now in an isolated and remote camp of Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK) in Albania with no connections to the outside world.

For your information, my family and I have not seen my brother for many years and we have not heard his voice on the phone and we have not received any message from him, and this has been bothering us for years.
But now we are very worried about the news that our brother is probably infected with the Covid-19 virus and is in an acute condition. However, the health conditions inside the camp are not favorable at all.

We, the family of Mehdi Tadayoni, have no desire other than to hear his voice and get the news of his health. Of course, Albania does not issue visas to Iranians. At present, it is not even possible to make a phone call to the residents inside the camp.

I ask you not to neglect any action that is conceivable and fruitful in order to alleviate the concerns of me and my family, so that news of our brother reaches us and communication is possible.

Can you understand a brother’s concern in this acute situation? Is it acceptable to prevent MEK members from communicating with their families in the current situation?

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

Family of “Hadi Sani Khani” seek help from international organizations

Father of Hadi Sani khani, who defected from the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK, MKO) in Albania, sent a letter to the Secretary-General of the United Nations and other international and European bodies, as well as Albanian government officials, expressing growing concern over his son’s enforced disappearance in Albania. He and his wife requested that this issue be dealt with.

Hadi Sani-Khani and Guterres

The text of the letter is as follows:

His Excellency Antonio Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations
Greetings and best regards,
I am the father of Hadi Sani Khani living in Tehran, Iran. My son, who was born in 1980, left for Turkey in 2003 with a friend to work. He wanted to go to Europe to find a better job and income and start a new life. He was not political and did not have the slightest acquaintance with the MEK. In Turkey, like some other young people, he was tricked into Iraq and the headquarters of the Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK).

After we did not hear from him for some time, we learned that he was in Camp Ashraf in Iraq. I went to Iraq with Hadi’s mother and we approached the headquarters of the MEK. There we were able to meet Hadi in a very limited way.

In any case, four MEK officials were with us and did not leave us alone under any circumstances. They chased us out of the garrison and then disrespectfully warned us never to visit our son again. This was our last meeting with Hadi.

After that, we did not hear from Hadi and he did not contact us. Until 2016, when he was one of the last people to be transferred from Iraq to Albania, and he immediately left the organization and contacted us. During these four years, he never lost contact with us. He cited the main reason for his separation as not being allowed to communicate with his family within the organization. He said he would never accept a lack of contact with his family under any circumstances.

During all his contacts during this period, he constantly spoke against the MEK and recounted numerous examples of their betrayals and crimes. He praised people such as Ehsan Bidi, Hassan Heirani, Gholamreza Shekari, and others who helped him. He said that they were just like his brothers and they always supported him.
He received his refugee pension through the MEK for a short time, until, according to him, he was offered espionage and cooperation, and when he refused to do so, his pension was cut off by the MEK and the UN High Commissioner for Refugees refused to pay the amount. Therefore he faced serious financial problems.

At a time when one Euro was equivalent to 40,000 Iranian Rials, I sent him money several times same as other families, which he said that he helped others with this money. Unfortunately, during the last two years, due to the severity of sanctions and new economic conditions in Iran, and the excessive rise in the exchange rate and restrictions on the transfer of money, I could not send him money. He was in dire financial straits. At his last call about a month ago, he seemed very worried and anxious.

Hadi said that he works in a cafe as a waiter 14 hours a day, all days of the week, so that he can earn a living. He wanted to return to Iran from the beginning, but apparently the Albanian government did not agree to the MEK’s request. After four years in Albania, he still did not have an identity card or a work permit. He also said that the former members were constantly threatened and harassed by elements affiliated with the MEK.

While we were very worried about why Hadi had not called us for a long time and why even his phone did not answer, we were informed that the MEK published a letter attributed to him, the content of which was completely contrary to what he had said to us for four years. This doubled our concern because he had been repeatedly threatened by elements of the organization.

My wife, who is seriously ill, and I ask you to act immediately to find out about my forced disappearance son in Albania. The Albanian government must be held accountable. I am impatiently waiting for an answer from you to ask the Albanian government where Hadi Sani Khani is now and how his condition is.

Thanks a lot

Prevent humanitarian catastrophe in the MEK Manëz Camp

Mr. Esmail Taherkhani, the brother of Issa Taherkhani, who was detained in the MEK camp in Albania, wrote a letter to the World Health Organization requesting immediate action on his brother’s health.

Issa Taherkhani brother

The text of the letter is as follows:

Representative of the World Health Organization in Albania
Greetings and best regards

I am Esmail Taherkhani, the brother of Issa Taherkhani, who is apparently at this time in the Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK) camp in Albania.

My brother was captured by Iraqi forces during the Iran-Iraq war and was deceitfully transferred to the MEK camp in Iraq during Saddam Hussein’s rule. I have not heard from my brother since then and the family has not been allowed to contact him.

Due to the outbreak of the coronavirus disease and its epidemic all over the world, especially in Albania, according to the latest media reports, several dozen members of this group have died of the Covid-19 virus in recent weeks. They were buried in the local Manëz (Manzë) cemetery in Durrës, Albania.

The MEK, which operates a camp on the outskirts of Tirana, does not allow journalists and doctors to enter the area and works with patients with coronavirus disease and deaths outside the protocols of the World Health Organization and the Albanian government.

This has raised our concerns about the health of a large number of members, most of whom are elderly and over 60 years old. We have to wait for a humanitarian catastrophe in the Manëz area of Tirana and endanger the health of hundreds of thousands of people in this area and its neighboring areas, because the camp where the MEK members are based is completely closed and people have group life and are not allowed to have communication with their families. Also, the Albanian government does not grant visas to Iranians at the request of the MEK leaders to travel to that country and follow the issue closely.

I desperately urge you not to neglect any action that is imagined in order to alleviate the worries of me and my expectant family, so that news of my brother will reach us and we will be able to communicate. Please do not hesitate to take any action and follow up in this regard.

Thanks a lot

The cult of Rajavi

MEK not be allowed to smuggle people / weapons into Europe

The Honorable António Guterres,

United Nations Secretary-General
The United Nations
New York, NY 10017
Your Excellency, Mr. Guterres

On February 14, 2021 the ex-terrorist organization of the Iranian Mojahedeen (also known as the National Council of Resistance of Iran, The Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization, MEK, MKO, Rajavi Cult etc) published a letter on its website signed by Hadi Sani-Khani an Iranian mujahedeen who in the past days has been smuggled into France by the mojaheden command. The letter was distributed and published by a section of MEK in Albania known as the Security and Counterterrorism Committee (SCC), chaired by the infamous ex-terrorist commander Mehdi Ambrishamchi. The original letter dated on February 17, 2021 mentioned the name of Mr. Mehdi Ambrishamchi as the chairman of SCC. However on February 18, 2021 the name of Mehdi Ambrishamchi was removed from the mujahedeen website, probably after a pan-European investigation has been launched by a group of European journalists and security experts who want to discover how did MEK manage to smuggle from Albania into France an ex-terrorist and foreign fighter like Hadi Sani-Khani.

France has bad experience with smugglers from Albania. The Nice terror attack of July 14th, 2016 was made possible thanks to three Albanian citizens: Artan Henaj, Myslym Cenaj and Enkelejda Zace. They smuggled weapons and ammunition through the Albanian port of Durres to the Italian port of Bari and then through the Ventimiglie crossing border point into France. The Tunisian terrorist Mohamed Bouhlei used such weapons and ammunition in his terror attack in Nice.

Your Excellency,

We, Olsi Jazexhiu and Gjergji Thanasi investigate the illegal activities of MEK in Albania since many years. This organization which depicts itself as an exiled Iranian opposition group runs a paramilitary camp in the town of Manza in Durres, something illegal and criminal according to Albanian Penal Code. MEK makes illegal and terrorist calls for war and regime change against foreign countries which are members of the United Nations. They use our country as a base for their illegal and criminal activities which are condemned by your organization and the international law. The spread fake news and aim to terrorize the Western public opinion with fears in order to push Western governments into war with Iran. In the past years we have exposed MEK lies and fake news. Their claims for Iran’s alleged terror attacks in Albania have been exposed as fake news by us in a number of occasions:

Dy “terroristët” iranianë aprofesionalizëm ulëritës apo thjesht “False flag operation”

Hadi Sani Khani

According to data from Albanian Institute of Statistics (INSTAT) MEK hosts around 7000 ex-foreign fighters in our country. They are kept in isolation by their command in the camp of Manza. MEK’s soldiers live in isolation and are not allowed to have contact with the outside world including their families who want to meet them. They have no free access to the internet, television and people of the opposite sex. They are not allowed to fall in love, have sex, marry, have families or children. They are forced to live like radicalized soldiers, trained and waiting to wage a terrorist war against Iran. Their families have written many letters to the Albanian government, the United Nations etc and have demanded access to their relatives who are kept in isolation and radicalized with the jihadi ideology of war and regime change that their cult leaders indoctrinate them.

However, the mujahedeen command headed by Maryam Rajavi, Mehdi Ambrishamchi etc have so far been successful to stop their families and human rights organizations to have access to the camp and liberate many Iranian citizens who are kept in isolation from the outside world since more than two decades.

The Albanian government has also not helped to solve the crisis that exists within the MEK camp. The Mojahedeen who were brought to Albania via UNHCR as protected refugees are now being persecuted by their jihadi command which keeps them in isolation and refuses them basic human rights like the right to marry, have a job, free movement, freedom of belief, thought etc. The Mojahedeen camp of Manza resembles China’s Uyghurs Concentration camps of Xinjiang.

The Albanian government which has responsibility to defend the rights of mojaheden refugees has so far abandoned them at the hand of MEK command. There are hundreds of MEK soldiers who want to live in freedom and abandon the Mojaheden Cult but are denied the freedom to do so. If they manage to run away from the camp they face prison, death or starvation. The Albanian government does not give them work permits, travel documents and they face slow death by poverty. Inside the camp many MEK members are suffering infections from Covid-19 and many are dying since the Mojaheden command has not vaccinated and given proper social distancing measures to its jihadi soldiers. MEK members who have managed to liberate themselves from the cult live in poverty in the outskirts of Tirana, the capital of Albania.

This was the case of Mr. Hadi Sani Khani who was working 14 hours per day as a waiter in order to survive outside MEK camp.

However the MEK command which attacks and intimidates the defectors has condemned and blackmailed Hadi in the past accusing him as being an agent of Iran.

Iranian Regime Uses Mois Agents Posing as Journalists in Attempts to Discredit Opposition

In Tirana the capital of Albania a large group of MEK defectors exist. These people have managed to escape the nightmare of the Mojaheden camp and decided to continue a civilian life. However they are viciously attacked by the Mojaheden command who accuses them as agents of Iran, terrorists etc. Through corruption, bribes and pressure MEK has managed to use Albanian state structures to intimidate and even jail many mojahedens who have abandoned jihad and do not want to take part in foreign wars for the sake of Maryam Rajavi and the Mojaheden command. People like Ehsan Bidi have been jailed and even forced by the Albanian police to smuggle himself into Greece. MEK is doing all it can to destroy its democratic and anti-cult opposition in Albania. It uses economic pressure, threats, jails, bribes and slander to scare and terrorize any of its members who wants to break free and abandon the jihadi cult of Maryam Rajavi.

Many Albanian media and journalists who know their desperate situation have tried to help the defectors in their quest for freedom. Journalists like us have exposed to the local and international media the vicious war that Maryam Rajavi and Mujahedin-e Khalq command is waging against the deradicalized defectors. We have brought to Albanian TV stations many MEK defectors who protest the insults, attacks and blackmails that MEK command does against them. They ask from Maryam Rajavi, Mehdi Ambrishamchi and other MEK commanders to live them alone. They do not want to engage in jihad against foreign countries since this is considered a terrorist crime according to Albanian and international law:

https://dlb.nejatngo.org/Media/Interview/Tirana_Defectors_Jazexhi.mp4

https://dld.nejatngo.org/Media/Interview/Oranews-Defectors-Albania.mp4

https://dld.nejatngo.org/Media/Interview/Abcnews-Defectors-Albania.mp4

MEK has been very ruthless on attacking the media and journalists who expose MEK’s dirty war against its defectors. They have attacked journalists from Channel 4, BBC, Al-Jazeera, the Guardian and many Albanian media and journalists. Part of their latest attack with lies and slander is even the letter that Hadi Sani Khani signed on February 14, 2021. Hadi who was suffering from drug addiction, shortage of money and desperate situation – where he could not legally work in Albania agreed to betray his defecting friends and sign a letter full of lies dictated to him by the Mojahedeen command. He wrote this letter after MEK agreed to smuggle him into France. In this moment we have information that Hadi is hiding in Paris. MEK has organized a criminal trafficking operation and has sent him to France, probably via Greece using forged documents. We suspect that the smuggling operation was directed by the notorious ex-terrorist commander Mehdi Ambrishamchi who heads MEK’s “Security and Counterterrorism Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran”.

As journalists mentioned in the letter that MEK command directed to you we want to state that “we strongly reject all the lies and accusations that MEK command has issued against us. We challenge Maryam Rajavi, Mehdi Ambrishamchi and all the Mojaheden command to face us in the media and courts and prove their lies and not wage jihad of disinformation and terrorism against journalists.”

Your Excellency!

Through this letter we want to ensure you and all the listed individuals and organizations that we are not intimidated by the attacks, lies and terrorist blackmails of Mehdi Ambrishamchi and the Mojaheden command against us. We do not accept to sell our journalistic and humanitarian duty to defend the weak and expose ex-terrorist organizations like MEK who threaten people around the world.

We want appeal to you and your organization to do the best that you can to guarantee the safe movement and freedom of all Iranian mojahedeens in Albania, including those who renounce war and terrorism and do not want to break the international law and wage terrorist war against other countries. Your organization and other relevant agencies must ask the Albanian government:

To dismantle and deradicalize the Mojaheden organization in Albania. Based on UN charter and international laws Albania should close the paramilitary camp of MEK and force the international and Albanian law to be implemented within and without the camp.
Albania must give the right to work and travel to its Iranian refugees and must protect them from human rights abuse at the hand of the Mojaheden command.
MEK commanders who abuse with their soldiers and have committed war crimes in Iran, Iraq, Albania and the world should face justice.
MEK should release the prisoners of Iran – Iraq war which it keeps as slave soldiers in its camp since the time of Saddam Hussein.
MEK should not be allowed to attack democracy in Albania and infringe the right of journalists like us to do our job.
UNHCR and the Albanian government must support MEK defectors in Albania. They should have the right to free choice, abandoning of jihad and the Mojaheden camp, marrying, working, contacting their families and deradicalize themselves.
UN and international organizations must demand from the Albanian state to start a process of mass deradicalization of MEK and stop MEK from threatening the security of Albania and the European Union. MEK should not be allowed to smuggle people / weapons and conflict into Europe or other countries of the world.
The Mojaheden command and their leaders like Mehdi Ambrishamchi must be investigated for their involvement in the illegal smuggling of mojaheden ex-terrorist fighters into Europe. They must face justice for their smuggling operations in Europe.
MEK should not be allowed to terrorize the European public opinion with fake news and lies against Iran, and it should not be allowed to challenge, scare and terrorize European policy makers about their relations with other countries.

For all the above we appeal to your Excellency, UNHCR, UNHCHR, Interior Ministry of Albania and the General Director of State Police of Albania to do all you can to stop human rights abuses and intimidation that MEK command does against its members and journalists in Albania and the world.

We appeal to Albanian and French authorities to start an urgent investigation into the case of Hadi Sani Khani. They must investigate how was Hadi illegally smuggled outside of Albania. What was the role of Mehdi Ambrishamchi in his illegal cross border escape from Albania? What money was paid to Hadi to sign a fake letter against his friends and journalists like us and what promises did the Mojaheden command made to him for this letter? Did the Mojaheden command smuggle weapons into France together with Hadi Sani Khani? Is the Mojaheden command planning a false flag operation in France through Hadi Sani Khani in order to sabotage The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (Iran Nuclear Deal)?

We also appeal to French authorities to take all the necessary measures to defend Hadi from further Mojaheden blackmail and misuse. Mr. Hadi Sani Khani is addicted to a controlled substance called Tramadol. Such an addiction makes him suitable to be used in false flag terror attacks. He can be used by the Mojaheden command to endanger the security of a NATO member country like France where we believe he is hiding at present. Based on the past record and present MEK condemnation of The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (Iran Nuclear Deal) we fear that the Mojaheden command might use him or other mojahedens for staging false flag terrorist operations in Europe.

For these reasons we appeal to you and other institutions listed in this letter to do all that you can to stop the Mojaheden mafia from provoking a terrorist scandal in Europe.

Sincerely,

Olsi Jazexhi and Gjergji Thanasi
