Nejat Society Letter to President Nicolas Sarkozy

President Nicolas Sarkozy Elysé Palace Paris, Republic of France Dear Mr. President Primarily the Nejat Society would like to congratulate you on your victory in the presidential campaign. We wish you every success in your tasks and duties for the future of France.

Nejat Society consists of those former members of the Mojahedin-é Khalq Organization (MKO) of Iran who have managed to escape from boundaries of the Organization and feel obliged to help their former colleagues to be rescued from the confinement of a destructive cult.

As you may already be aware, the MKO under the leadership of Mas’ud and Maryam Rajavi actively took part in the French presidential campaign in the favour of the Socialist Party and its candidate Ms Ségolène Royal. This of course by no means has anything to do with the ideology or internal and international policies of the French Socialist Party. MKO has proven to be a terrorist cult with extreme opportunistic attitude toward political affairs.

The sheer fact is that Maryam Rajavi has a trial to face in a near future for fraud and terrorism in a French court of justice. This of course has put the organization in an awkward position. The organization thinks that if the ruling party in France is changed, this trial and its heavy file would be over shadowed.

It is worth mentioning that just after the 1979 revolution in Iran, MKO and its leader Mas’ud Rajavi fully supported the new ruling system just to gain time to get prepared to turn against it and assassinate many officials in various ranks.

We as the prime victims of a destructive cult would like to urge you to take decisive measures to counter the organization’s terrorist acts and the mind manipulation practiced over its members. Please do not let them to misuse you and your party’s reputation for their unjust goals.

Fox News

MOSSAD, Mojahedin Khalq, Fox News

Open letter to Fox News

To: Fox News Channel

After former Secretary of State Colin Powell insisted upon the closing of the MEK’s National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) office in the National Press Building in Washington, DC, the Fox News Channel retained the NCRI’s spokesperson ,Alireza Jafarzadeh, as a foreign affairs analyst.

Biography: Alireza Jafarzadeh

Alireza Jafarzadeh is the president of Strategic Policy Consulting, Inc. He is also a FOX News Channel Foreign Affairs Analyst.

Alireza Jafarzadeh is the author of “The Iran Threat: President Ahmadinejad and the Coming Nuclear Crisis” (Palgrave Macmillan, January 2007).

http://www.spconsulting.us/Alireza-Jafarzadeh-Bio.htm

The MEK (MKO, PMOI, Rajavi Cult, Pol Pot of Iran) has been on the State Department’s list of terrorist organizations since the administration of former President Bill Clinton. This communist cult has murdered American military officers, Rockwell International employees, and large numbers of Iranians and Iraqis. In 2003, after American and coalition forces attacked Camp Ashraf, Iraq and killed some of America’s terrorist enemies, the American government ordered the American military to protect America’s communist enemies.

Researchers who want to know why the Fox News Channel has been promoting the Rajavi Cult (or Pol Pot of Iran) need some answers to posted allegations that MOSSAD is behind the support for the MEK:

http://www.irandidban.com/master-e.asp?ID=03864

The first form of control alluded to earlier—i.e. the recruitment of informants within the organisation—has been used effectively since 1997. MOSSAD is known to have at least half a dozen such “sources” within the organisation. In most cases the recruitment of these sources is unbeknownst to the organisation. The reason for this is simple: MOSSAD does not trust the information given to it by the organisation and thereby needs direct access to information. Most of these “sources” are based in Western Europe, however there is known to be at least one MOSSAD agent in the North American branch of the organisation. Ramesh Sepehrad, who is based in the Washington DC area, was recruited by MOSSAD through her Jewish-American boy friend in early 1997.* An active lobbyist and fundraiser for the Mojahedin, Sepehrad apparently agreed to work for MOSSAD once she was assured the agency had a collaborative relationship with the Mojahedin. In other words Sepehrad’s spying activities would not necessarily harm the organisation.

Sepehrad has proved to be a key link in the MOSSAD-Mojahedin nexus in recent years. It is through her that Israeli agencies feed intelligence disinformation to Ali Reza Jaffarzadeh, which is in turn broadcast to the world via the FOX media network. Sepehrad also feeds disinformation to Hedayat Mostowfi and Ali Safavi, two long-standing MKO members who are key figures in the organisation’s propaganda activities. A frequent traveller to Israel, Sepehrad is now considered a veteran MOSSAD agent. Indeed she is known to have undertaken MOSSAD-inspired espionage operations that are wholly unconnected to the Mojahedin and Iran. Some of these revolve around spying on Arab feminist and pro-Palestinian forums in the United States.

http://www.irandidban.com/master-e.asp?ID=05305

For Alireza Jafarzadeh’s next appearance on the Fox News Channel, please ask him to answer these posted allegations. Then, the management of the Fox News Channel needs to explain why the Fox News Channel has been promoting America’s terrorist enemies. In September 2002, the White House distributed a background paper for President George W. Bush’s remarks at the United Nations. That background paper used as a pretext for the Iraq War the fact the the MEK was a terrorist organization supported by Saddam Hussein.

Saddam Hussein’s Support for International Terrorism

——————————————————————————–

Iraq is one of seven countries that have been designated by the Secretary of State as state sponsors of international terrorism. UNSCR 687 prohibits Saddam Hussein from committing or supporting terrorism, or allowing terrorist organizations to operate in Iraq. Saddam continues to violate these UNSCR provisions.

In 1993, the Iraqi Intelligence Service (IIS) directed and pursued an attempt to assassinate, through the use of a powerful car bomb, former U.S. President George Bush and the Emir of Kuwait. Kuwaiti authorities thwarted the terrorist plot and arrested 16 suspects, led by two Iraqi nationals.

Iraq shelters terrorist groups including the Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO), which has used terrorist violence against Iran and in the 1970s was responsible for killing several U.S. military personnel and U.S. civilians.

Iraq shelters several prominent Palestinian terrorist organizations in Baghdad, including the Palestine Liberation Front (PLF), which is known for aerial attacks against Israel and is headed by Abu Abbas, who carried out the 1985 hijacking of the cruise ship Achille Lauro and murdered U.S. citizen Leon Klinghoffer.

Iraq shelters the Abu Nidal Organization, an international terrorist organization that has carried out terrorist attacks in twenty countries, killing or injuring almost 900 people. Targets have included the United States and several other Western nations. Each of these groups have offices in Baghdad and receive training, logistical assistance, and financial aid from the government of Iraq.

In April 2002, Saddam Hussein increased from $10,000 to $25,000 the money offered to families of Palestinian suicide/homicide bombers. The rules for rewarding suicide/homicide bombers are strict and insist that only someone who blows himself up with a belt of explosives gets the full payment. Payments are made on a strict scale, with different amounts for wounds, disablement, death as a "martyr" and $25,000 for a suicide bomber. Mahmoud Besharat, a representative on the West Bank who is handing out to families the money from Saddam, said, "You would have to ask President Saddam why he is being so generous. But he is a revolutionary and he wants this distinguished struggle, the intifada, to continue."

Former Iraqi military officers have described a highly secret terrorist training facility in Iraq known as Salman Pak, where both Iraqis and non-Iraqi Arabs receive training on hijacking planes and trains, planting explosives in cities, sabotage, and assassinations.

Why does the Fox News Channel continue to promote the Rajavi Cult and the neo-conservatives (neo-Trotskyites)?

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

we support the recent report of the State Department

The State Department Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism on April 30 released the List of designated terrorist organisations. Once again Mojahedin Khalq organisation (MKO, MEK, aka the National Council of Resistance, NCR, NCRI) continues to occupy the status it has been designated since 1997.

While we support the recent report of the State Department, we would like to point out some important issues related to this report.

As ex-members of Mojahedin Khalq Organisation we, over the past few years, have repeatedly emphasised the capabilities of Mojahedin Khalq (aka Rajavi cult) and its potential to carry out terrorist operations in European and North American countries. And we have repeatedly made the point that the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation is a destructive cult which uses typical cult methods (i.e.: brain washing and ideological cleansing) to prepare its members to carry out violent acts.

We have also insisted during our meetings with various officials in Europe that a series of sophisticated devices and technologies have been bought by the members of the cult from Europe and smuggled into Iraq. These consists of (but is not limited to) night vision goggles, special anti mine shoes, and many other apparatus for carrying out terrorist activities. Maryam Rajavi (co cult leader), between 1993 and 1999, started these smuggling operation from her HQ in Auvers sur Oise in France and used her network to its full extent during 1999 and 2000 when it was the height of its terror campaign.

Now after years the State Department has finally been referring to a small part of these illegal activities, and reports:

“… Also in 2001, the FBI arrested seven Iranians in the United States who funnelled $400.000 to an MEK- affiliated organisation in the UAE which used the funds to purchase weapons…”

http://www.state.gov/s/ct/rls/crt/2006/82738.htm

Although the new report mentions specific and significant points which could not be found in the original report of 1994 but we can say that has still fallen short of pointing out some specific, important, clear and proven points.

Considering this shortfall, we the ex members of the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation (Rajavi Cult), who have survived imprisonment and torture in this cult and have had clear insight into the inner world of Mojahedin Khalq terrorist camp Ashraf, would like to point out the following:

– The retaining of the Mojahedin Khalq Orgaisation in the list of Terrorist entities is a just act but is not enough.

– As has been stated in the report, the Mojahedin terrorist group clearly displays cult like charactristics and is now a threat to western countries including the United States of America. It is clear that before the group engages in a new wave of violent activities (similar to the self-immolations carried out in 2003), western govenments should take approprate action to prevent such disasters.

– We have emphasized over and over to the Prime Minister of Iraq Mr. Al Maleki and to Mr. Talebani the President of Iraq in numerious letters that the remaining 3400 members of the Rajavi cult in Ashraf camp near Khales are part of the body of this organisation, many of whom have themselves been experiencing mental and physical torture at the hands of the leaders of the Mojahedin. They have been denied any contact with society or even members of their family for years and their account should be seperated from the account of the leaders of the cult. You are aware that more than 200 of them who have seperated themselves from the Mojahedin are still in the adjecent camp called TIPF and need help to get back to the normal society and integrate.

– As has been mentioned again in the report, the Mojahedin have been instrumental in the suppresion of the uprising of the Shiites and the Kurds by the Republican Guards of Saddam Hussein. The report reads:

“… in 1991, the group rportedly assisted in the Iraq Republican Guard’s bloody crackdown on Iraqi Shia and Kurds who rose up against Saddam Hussein’s regime; press reports cite MEK leader Marym Rajavi encouraging MEK members to”take the Kurds under your tanks.”…”

http://www.state.gov/s/ct/rls/crt/2006/82738.htm.

Our association asks for your intervention to prepare a court to bring the leaders of this cult to justice. A petition has been signed by about 400 ex members of the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation asking for the indictment of Massoud and Maryam Rajavi, life-time, self-appointed heads of the horifying Mojahedin Khalq Organisation. The signitures are continuing.

Yours sincerely,

Iran Sabz,

Former members of the MEK

Open Letter to the Iraqi President,

Dear Mr Talebani, President of the Republic of Iraq We would like to draw your attention to the fact that after 4 years from the time of disarmament of the Rajavi cult in your country, around 3000 members of the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation (MKO) are still being kept in a camp near Khales, (Diyali Province) called ASHRAF. Many of these people, who are considered as the body of this cultish organisation, have themselves experienced the physical and mental torture imposed on the members by the leaders of the cult. Due to the cult practices, these people have been denied their basic human rights including the right to have contact with the outside world and/or their family members. As you yourself, even in the time of Saddam Hussein’s rule, used to emphasise,”The account of the leaders of the Mojahedin Khalq should be separated from the ordinary members of the cult”. We would also like to draw your attention to the fact that out of 800 people who have managed to escape the cult about 200 are still kept in the adjacent camp called TIPF. Although the disaffected members have clearly denounced violence and terrorism, their faiths still not clear. Dear Mr President, Sabz Association was established by some ex-members and ex-officials of the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation (Rajavi cult) who now reside in European countries. One of our aims is to help our friends who have been taken hostage by the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation (Rajavi Cult). Our aim is to help these people to integrate back into society and start a new normal life away from the cult and violence. Dear Sir, A family of one of these hostages has recently revealed that during his contact with the US army, who along side Bulgarian forces are protecting the existence of the Mojahedin terrorist group in Iraq (the family has been trying to contact their loved one for the past decade), unfortunately the US personnel in charge (in Ashraf camp) has asked the family to directly contact the Mojahedin safe houses in Europe and ask permission from them to visit their loved one. (The written document is available and can be produced upon request). The family have taken the matter to the American Embassy in their country of residence and have officially protested the suggestion of contacting a proscribed terrorist organisation in Europe . The American embassy has declined to answer any further questions upon receiving a copy of the document. Similar situations have been reported by other families residing in European and North American countries. We would be grateful if you would nominate someone for further investigation into this matter, in which case we would be more than happy to put the officials in contact with the families and related documents. Dear Mr President, Four years after the fall of Saddam Hussein and the establishment of the democratically elected government of , it is questionable why the demand of these families to have access to their loved ones is being ignored. You are of course aware that history will judge the willing coalition led by United State of America in a completely different way than judging your good self and your elected Iraqi government. And you are of course aware that the expectation of the people in the region from you and your government is different from their expectation from the coalition forces. You are aware that the desperate families of these captives before having any hope of help from the American army are looking for help from their Iraqi brothers. Dear Mr Talebani, We urge you to intervene to end this harsh bizarre situation according to conditions set out by the Fourth Geneva Convention (under which the US claims to be holding the captured individuals) to guarantee the expected access of the families to their loved ones without the presence of the leaders of the Mojahedin cult, outside the perimeters of Camp ASHRAF, as even in the very exceptional occasions where there has been a brief meeting between the detainees and their families, the Mojahedin leader have been present and the individuals are visibly afraid of talking openly and privately with their families.

With our warmest wishes, Iran-Sabz Association April 2007

Mujahedin Khalq Organization

A letter to the “Friends of a Free Iran”

I would like to directs your attention for a few moments in order to give you a different view of the Mojahedon-e Khalq of Iran and why we think that they should stay in the EU terror list.

For the exile Iranians living abroad, and for those who have fought for democracy and the separation between state and religion it is a regrettable day when a terrorist leader can be so enthusiastically received by a number of the EU parliamentary Members.

The MKO (Mojahedin-e Khalq) or NCRI (National Council of Resistance of Iran) has in our view a dark history in regards to fighting for democracy and human rights. They are responsible of killing thousands of Iranian civilian with acts of terror and bombings of public places. They were regarded as the trusted partners of Saddam Hussein. In the rebellion of the Kurds in 1991, the Mojahedin in support of Saddam Hussein were responsible for the killing of tens of Kurdish citizen of Iraq. Many of our organizations members were members of the Mojahedin at that time and will never forget the famous words of Maryam Rajavi who gave these orders to his army: “do not waste bullets on the Kurds but rather roll over them with your tanks”.

The Mojahedin, under the leadership of Massoud Rajavi oppressed the Kurds in north of Iraq, and gave Saddam Hussein the opportunity to gather his forces and crush the Shi’a uprising in the South of the country.

Maryam and Massoud Rajavi, controls the organization with iron fists and look upon themselves as god-like figures sent to rescue Iran and Iranians and are only accountable directly to god. They have turned Mojahedin into a religious cult. They forced every husband and wife to get divorced and made sure that any feelings directed towards family, friends, mothers and children became a crime in of it self. The only “legal” feeling of love was to be held for the Rajavis.

In our view, there is no pride in supporting of a organization and individuals who have no belief in human rights and resort to torture and murder of those who believe differently then themselves.

In order to better understand the Mojahedin-e Khalq cult status, we remind you that after Maryam Rajavi’s arrest on 17 June 2003, over 10 member and followers of the Mojahedin set themselves on fire in protest to the arrest. This action can only be attributed to a cult where individuals are brainwashed and made to believe that their lives mean nothing and can be used as a tool.

I hope you would be able to find the time in order for us to sit down and talk about this in greater detail.

We are delighted that you spend time from your busy schedule to pay attention to the current situation in Iran and what’s happening in and around the Middle East. We hope that you will continue to show your interest in this very troubled area of the world.

As you know there are two sides to any story, and now that you have heard the Mojahedin’s side, you should also make an effort to listen to our side of the story. As both victims of the Iranian regime and the Mojahedin-e Khalq, it is necessary to get to know both perspectives.

With best regards

Lord Corbett

Khodabande open letter to Lord Corbett

Dear Lord Corbett,

With the greatest respect, I refer to my previous letter dated February 28, 2007 and many questions which were forwarded to you relating your interview with the BBC that remained unanswered. I was expecting you to clarify at least some of the queries I mentioned in my letter in your next interview.

Nevertheless, now I wish to refer to your recent interview with the Sky News television which was reflected in the website of the Mojahedin-é Khalq Organisation (MKO) called “hambastegimeli”. In this interview you called upon the west to move the obstacles on the way of the MKO who wants to topple the Iranian regime and you demanded the UK to adopt tougher stances against the Islamic Republic of Iran. You have also repeated your previous comments that enlisting the MKO as a proscribed terrorist group was done for political purposes due to appease the Islamic State.

Initially I should emphasze that your comments in your interviews are the replicate of those of Mas’ud and Maryam Rajavi which are constantly repeated in their statements. You also – exactly like them – do not go into details and leave many unanswered questions behind. I do not object you to repeat the leaders of MKO as long as you are prepared to explain quarries.

First of all I wish to know in details that how MKO was stopped to restore peace and freedom in Iran by simply being listed as a terrorist group? What political limitations are they experiencing in the western countries at this very moment? Do you expect the western security services to leave a destructive cult completely unwatched in their countries particularly after the terrorist incident of 11th of September? The MKO today is enjoying satellite broadcasting towards Iran from London; their weekly publication “Mojahed” is published in London and distributed round the world; they have access to parliamentarians and do get supportive press coverage; they have an open hand to raze money in the western countries and guide their activities inside Iran from Paris and other western capitals; they have no limitation on holding demonstrations, press conferences, and public meetings as well as travelling round the world and openly meeting people and they spend huge sums of money on this and have access to excessive funds. So I would be grateful if you could mention some facts relating to the limitations the MKO is enduring in the west to restore peace and democracy in Iran which has come from the direct result of being listed as a terrorist group.

Secondly I would like to ask you that how come the organisation was listed in one instance for political reasons but now its name would not be removed from the list for similar political reasons. I do not believe that the deal – according to you – which was once held between the west and the Islamic Republic of Iran, still applies. On the contrary the relationship between the two sides has deteriorated day by day. I really want to know that what the entire American and European countries, particularly the US and the UK, are gaining politically by keeping the name of the organisation in the various international terrorist lists.

I am anxiously waiting to get the answers of the two above mentioned questioned either from you or any person who is claiming the same as you do. I also do wish that the name of the organisation be removed from any terrorist list round the world and every supposedly limitations imposed on them be lifted as soon as possible in order to take any excuse from them.

Yours faithfully,

Ebrahim Khodabandeh

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

Mojahedin violence re-emerging

Open letter to Cologne Police chief

Mr. Klaus Steffenhagen

Polizeipräsidium Köln

Walter-Pauli-Ring 2-4

51103 Köln

Dear Mr. Steffenhagen,

We have been informed that the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation (MKO) under the name of National Council of Resistance (NCR), has once again expanded its violent threats against Mr. Ali Akbar Rastgoo (a German citizen who is resident in Cologne ) and some of his colleagues. Mr. Rastgoo and his family are well known internationally for their outspoken criticism against terrorism and violations of human rights.

The proscribed terrorist cult, Mojahedin Khalq, has once again accused all those people and organisations which criticize its behaviour of ‘working for the Iranian government’; an accusation which is punishable by death according to their public announcements over the past 25 years. And this is the worrying part which has prompted me to write this letter.

The representative heads of the Mojahedin cult in different countries are placed there as the "Representative of the National Council of Resistance", which in the case of the UK where I reside is Ms. Dolat Noroozi and in your country Ms. Massoumeh Boloorchi. Both these individuals are well known cult members with a dreadful history. Both women are known to be experts in "information laundry" and recruiters of agents and members to carry out their illegal work. They are both connected directly to Maryam Rajavi (who is, of course, a known character to your security agencies) and are both potentially hard-core suicide terrorists if they receive the order at any time. One of their old tactics (which I believe you are familiar with) is gathering information from Iranian newspapers and perhaps telephone conversation and adding their desired misinformation between the lines to feed to the intelligence services of various countries in return for a more open hand to operate outside the framework of the law. This tactic is nothing other than what Saddam’s Mokhaberat (secret services) has trained them in during their long history of working for him.

According to an article in today’s Guardian newspaper, the MKO is now accused of kidnapping a retired member of the Iranian Government in Turkey. The article also mentions the possibility that the Iranian officials arrested in Arbil (Iraq) were interrogated by Mojahedin operatives. We have also just received unconfirmed news of several arrests in Frankfurt airport linked to the alleged discovery of bombs aboard a Lufthansa flight to Tehran. The unconfirmed news indicates the motive as turning Arab countries and Iran against each other. This motive is a well know tactic employed by ex-Saddam operatives, in particular the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation. But to bring this motive to Frankfurt airport is more than a simple escalation and can be considered as deliberately exporting the most violent parts of the Iraqi conflict to the heart of Europe.

In the last few weeks, the Mojahedin has openly supported the mass murder of school children by drug traffickers in the province of Baloochestan of Iran, supported the insurgency in Iraq, and vowed to take revenge against their critics in Iraq, European countries and North America. (Of course, it is a fact that for a long time the MKO has had no influence or presence inside Iran).

Now, Mr. Rastgou and others have been accused by the MKO of ‘working for Iran ‘, which, according to the MKO’s beliefs, is punishable by death; that is, if the cult leaders Massoud and Maryam Rajavi give permission for such extrajudicial murders to be performed in the West. The extent of these threats has become so widespread that even people in the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and prominent journalists and political analysts like Dr. Noorizadeh have, in the last few weeks received open threats from the cult. The literature distributed by the cult leaders on their websites has not even spared the governments and foreign ministers of European countries from these threats.

Dear Sir,

The shocking memory of self-immolations by MKO members following the brief detention of the cult leader by French police is still fresh in our minds, while a catalogue of self confessions about the killing of thousands of Iranians, Iraqis as well as citizens of European countries, Canada and United States of America has been gathered by law enforcement agencies across the globe.

I am now writing to you to inform your good self about yet another change of direction by the leaders of the Rajavi cult after their deep disappointment in failing to clear their name from the list of terrorist organisations in the European Union without having to actually reject violence and their cult culture. The avenue to be removed from the list without a clear denouncement of violence to achieve political power is now at its end, and the Rajavi cult leaders have decided (as they have always maintained internally to the cult members) to go back to the only way they know and that is to return to the violent ways and tactics, for which the cult received training from Saddam Hussein’s Republican Guards during their joint operations in Iraq for over 20 years.

It is clear that the path they have chosen is to use physical force to stop anyone and everyone who they believe is responsible for their failure to sell themselves as a mercenary force in Iraq and beyond. This, of course, includes the ex members, critics and human right activists.

It is no secret that after the French authorities curtailed their activities in 2003 (to where Maryam Rajavi escaped from Iraq just before the fall of Saddam Hussein), Cologne has, for the last 3 years, been the main base and the unofficial HQ of the cult (as far as their directing terrorist activities are concerned). It is also no secret that the group is now flexing its muscles against its critics as well as European countries (which have refused to take them off the list) in an attempt to put pressure on the west (they have continuously announced the self-immolations as something that worked well against western countries, and have since vowed that those who can set fire to themselves at a hint from the cult leader can also kill anyone, anywhere and at any time if ordered to do so).

Sir,

At this critical point I beg you to take every precaution to ensure the safety of your citizens (as well as others) in Cologne and elsewhere in Germany .

While I am fully confident about the quality and quantity of information you and your law enforcement agencies have at your disposal, please do not hesitate to contact me should you wish to access our archives and/or recent documents about this proscribed group.

Yours sincerely,

Massoud Khodabandeh,

Lord Corbett

Open letter to Lord Corbett of Castle Vale

Dear Lord Corbett,

With the greatest respect, I refer to your interview with the BBC Persian Service on February 23, 2007 (Link to the interview) which was published on the BBC’s website. May I first express my pleasure that you have entered into a free discussion about the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation (MKO). As you know, there are many questions about the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation which remain unanswered.

You have mentioned in your interview that the reason behind the proscription of the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation in Britain and other places is purely political and was made in relation to the interests of the Iranian Regime. This might be true, but what I would like to know is why the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation is still being kept on the lists of terrorist entities in almost every western country when these countries are engaged in a serious confrontation with the Islamic Republic of Iran? As you are well aware, Britain represents the toughest stance against Iran in Europe. At the same time Britain has been and is still leading the European Union against the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation. Doesn’t this reality disprove your claim that this matter is no more than politically motivated bargaining? I would like to know, if the Mojahedin was proscribed on the basis of a political decision, then why is it not de-proscribed now on the same basis? What could possibly be the political interest for the British government in insisting on keeping the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation on the list of proscribed terrorist organisations?

I think the reason for proscription of the Mojahedin Khalq as a terrorist organisation has never been a political decision. I think the decision has been purely security related. All the security services in the west categorise the MKO as a destructive cult in which violence has become part its infrastructure. Indeed, if anything, the point that the Mojahedin’s activities in western countries have not been confronted to the full could be interpreted as a politically motivated act due to the grievances between Iran and western countries. But no responsible security official would leave a cult like the MKO, which has theorised the use of violence, unchecked and unmonitored. The only way for the security services to be able to monitor and control the organisation is to keep it on the list of proscribed terrorist organisations. You are well aware yourself that the Mojahedin after the fall of the late dictator of Iraq, Saddam Hussein, is no longer considered to pose a threat to Iran. But could the people responsible for the security of European countries confidently announce the same? Could they really announce that the Mojahedin is not a threat to European countries?

In your interview, you have mentioned that the history of the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation’s armed operations goes back to before 2001, and you have emphasised that they have preformed no terrorist or similar activities after this date. What I really want to know is whether the organisation has in fact ruled out armed struggle – once the core of its ideology, strategy and tactics. Or is it simply because the organisation is incapable of carrying out terror acts at this moment of time?

You have also endorsed the Mojahedin’s assassination of the former head of Evin Prison. It has become a mystery for me. If the killing of all the people whom the Mojahedin have assassinated inside Iran is justified, then what about the thousands of similar people in Iran right now who have not been assassinated? Why is it that the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation (with your endorsement) does not attempt to deal with them? Why has the organisation refrained from its prior activities and is not working towards assassinating these subjects and instead has put a stop to its armed struggle from 2001? And if they have really come to the conclusion that they should stop this armed struggle, then why do not announce it publicly and criticise their past activities and above all why do you still try to legitimise their violent history?

I do not know if you have any answers for my questions. But I would be most grateful if you could offer some explanations concerning the questions I have posed. From my heart I wish that the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation would return to logic and one day be among the important players in the Iranian political scene. I would like to propose that the best course of action that the MKO could take is to start reviewing its past and clearly denounce violence against anyone and at anytime. I am sure that in doing so the organisation would be acting in its own best interests.

With many thanks.

Yours faithfully,

Former members of the MEK

Sunday Herald prints Mojahedin lies “ Jamshid Tafrishi responds

Below is a letter of complaint to the Sunday Herald newspaper by Jamshid Tafrishi. Tafrishi was once a member of the Mojahedin-e Khalq, and joined the National Liberation Army in . But soon rejected the organisation and became an outspoken critic.

Since he left, the Mojahedin have been misusing his name over the past years in every possible way, publishing articles on their websites (Iranfocus, Iranterror and PauloCasaca.net) which are their version of his views, but never publishing any direct response from him. In this way the MKO has variously claimed that Tafrishi ‘admitted’ working for the Iranian Intelligence Ministry, then ‘admitted’ to be working for the MKO and etc, without any direct word from Mr Tafrishi himself.

Recently, the Mojahedin told journalists that Tafrishi had written a letter to a court in the supporting their claims. For the first time an independent newspaper, the Sunday Herald, has printed the lies broadcast by the Mojahedin and Mr Tafrishi has taken the opportunity to clear his name by writing the following letter to the Editor, Mr Richard Walker.

Dear Sir,

It appears that the proscribed terrorist organisation, Mojahedin Khalq Organisation (MKO) which is on the list of terrorist organisations in US, , European Union, and the rest of the free world has published an article in your weekly publication and repeated its contents throughout its various official and clandestine websites.

The Mojahedin Organisation has made false allegations against me and I would like you to publish my response to their lies in the same page and column according to the usual rights considered by publications. I reserve my right to pursue legal avenues in the against this proscribed terrorist organisation as well as any provider for them.

The terrorist Mojahedin Organisation has falsely claimed that I have written a letter to a court in the (of course without even mentioning what and where andâ€¦) and have made further comments on this.

I have been, and I am declaring again, that from 1991 when I left Mojahedin Khalq Organisation and exposed the true terrorist nature of this cult, I have been under attack by the Mojahedin Khalq wherever possible by them.

From 1991 I have tried to take the mask off the face of this organisation. I have written hundreds of letters to many officials including United Nations officials, sub-commissions of the UN, various humanitarian organisations and even the US State Department and the US Congress. I have been one of the witnesses testifying to the massacre of Iraqi Kurds by the Mojahedin Khalq under direct order of Saddam Hussein. I testified in the United Nations Minorities Rights Commission which resulted in the Commission’s acknowledgment and condemnation of their crimes.

My testimonies, together with tens of other testimonies from the people who had survived the cult, along with other documents presented to the world, resulted in worldwide condemnation of the Mojahedin Khalq, and the US, UK, European Union and Canada have entered its name â€“ and its aliases – in their lists of proscribed terrorist organisations.

Therefore, claiming that I have written such a letter as is referred to in your weekly publication in the words of a terrorist organisation is as ridiculous and false as their claim that they would have any minor support in the Iranian community inside or outside Iran, or representing themselves as an alternative to the ruling regime of Iran.

The charlatanism and mafia like tactics used by this terrorist cult are self-explanatory. It is not the first time they have used these criminal tactics to discredit their critics.

I have instructed my lawyers to investigate the false allegations published in your paper and the source of the claim that I have written a letter to a court. I will follow every legal avenue according to my lawyers’ advice. This is yet another fraud committed by the Rajavi cult (MKO) which should be exposed.

But it is worth mentioning the reasons behind such a desperate attempt by Rajavi and his terrorist cult. Is this not because of the panic after the death of their benefactor Saddam Hussein? Of course the other interpretation of this obvious lie in the middle of daylight would be that the Rajavis have lost their minds completely due to the heat after the fall of their benefactor.

It is clearly very regrettable to see that the Sunday Herald publication has mentioned the name of this proscribed terrorist cult which is hated by every Iranian inside and outside for their war crimes and crimes against humanity under Saddam Hussein, as a “Democratic Alternative”.

Finally, I would propose that I meet with your papers’ representatives so as to expose and refute all the lies which have been published in your paper under the influence of this terrorist organisation and deny publicly all the false quotes alleged on my behalf.

Open Letter to the European Union

Militarism is MKO’s Infrastructure

Dear Sirs,

Reported by Time on December 14 to confirm the EU’s stance on the ruling of the Court of First Instance, Jesus Carmona, spokesman for the European Union’s anti-terrorism authority, enunciated that "we’re going to comply with the court and publicly state the reasons for any group or individual on it”. For sure, the EU proscribed MKO on sound reasons, but we consider it our responsibility to give some details on the terrorist nature of MKO.

Stated in the judgment of the Court of First Instance concerning MKO, “it and all its members have expressly renounced all military activity since June 2001 and it no longer has an armed structure at the present time”. MKO might have said it “expressly”, as the judgment states, but they never believe in what they have expressed because violence is the organization’s inborn trait.

Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization, MKO (aka. MeK, PMOI, NCRI, NLA), a blacklisted Iranian terrorist organization, from the very beginning of its formation adopted the armed struggle as the infrastructure of its campaign. The organization’s past forty-year bloody history indicates that to advance its objectives, the priority has always been put on the application of terror and violence.

The very use of the term Mojahedin-e Khalq, meaning people’s holy warriors or combatant of the masses, as the title of the organization indicates that the line of struggle forbears to adapt to a political and peaceful route. The initially trainings of the members, from the beginning to the present, simultaneous with the ideological teachings, are militant trainings, use of weaponry as well as the practical use of chemicals to make explosives and detonating devices.

Formed during 1963-6 and late in 1969, after three successive years of study on its organizational structure and revolutions in other parts of the world, the organization commenced to organize its militant training programs and to form the team houses to stage armed operations inside Iran against the ruling monarch. [1] The History and Origination of Mojahedin Khalq Organization

Lacking the needed experience to establish training military camps and since it was actually impossible to conduct such activities under the eyes of the Shah’s intelligence system, the leaders resolved to seek external opportunities. As a result, they made contacts with Al-Fatah Organization, a militant establishment active in Palestine territories, to persuade it to train the organization’s members in its camps. Al-Fatah consented and the early members were dispatched to Al-Fatah’s camps located in Oman through Beirut. [2] MKO and Al-Fatah, The Outset of Guerilla Activities

MKO intensified their armed operations in the years between 1973 and 1976. Its terrorist operations were mainly aimed at American citizens and institutions inside Iran including assassination of 6 American military officers and civilians and bombing tens of buildings. [3] The US State Department Report on Mojahedin-e Khalq

After the Islamic revolution in Iran, MKO started a novel and different mode of struggle, this time against its own nation, and announced that it continued an armed campaign to overthrow the newly established Islamic system. In fact, it was the beginning of a bloody chapter in Iran’s contemporary history. It is hard to enumerate all the victims of MKO’s atrocities inside Iran, who were targets of its weapons’ bullets and bombing plots. However, there are reliable evidences and lists of these victims. [4] Victimes

In 1987-1988, in a publicly published booklet entitled “Resistance on the Rise;

A Review of the Recent Resistance Operations of the Mojahedin”, a product of MKO’s own publication, MKO depicted a detailed account of more than 20 noted terrorist operations that its insiders perpetrated in various Iranian regions and cities in 1987 as well as an account of its military training camps. [5] Resistance on the Rise

Strongly supported by Saddam, military units of MKO, based in Iraq under the flag of the National Liberation Army, were settled in seven facilities starting from 1986. Four were in the Baghdad area (the headquarter, Camp Ashraf at Khalis, Camp Anzali at Jalawla and Camp Bonyad Alavi), one in Kut (Camp Faezeh), one in Basra (Camp Habib) and one in Al-Amarah (Camp Homayoun).

NLA forces took part in the last phases of the Iran-Iraq war essentially operating across the Iranian borders. In some occasions they contributed to more important general operations along with regular Iraqi troops. After the end of the Iran-Iraq war, they continued to support Saddam’s regime and served as its trusted mercenaries and collaborated in the suppresion of the Iraqi Shiit and Kurds uprisings. [6] MKO Terrorist Operations

Justly judged, founded on the mentioned and non-mentioned terrorist deeds, MKO came to occupy a permanent row in the list of the US State Department’s designated terrorist organizations in 1997 and later on, by some other countries aw well as the EU.

In 2000 and 2001, the MKO was involved regularly in a series of mortar attacks against the innocent civilians and buildings. [7] The group was fully armed and continued its military activity right up to the invasion of the allied forces in 2003, when almost 4.000 NLA forces were forced to surrender to the U.S. Corps. Consequently, all the members were concentrated in the area of camp Ashraf and the organization’s heavy weapons were siezed by the US Army.

[7] MKO Terrorist Operations

Based on the presented evidences, and because of its adopted strategy and ideology, MKO cannot possibly foreswear terrorism and has never publicized such a claim. Although disarmed, the group’s main base in Iraq, Camp Ashraf is a bastion of militarism wherein the members, many against their will, are forced to run a harsh martial life. It must be noted that, as people say, a leopard cannot change its spots. That is true of MKO since neither can it renounce utilization of violence as the adopted means to achieve its non-democratic ends.

Yours sincerely,

Mojahedin.ws
