Nejat Society Letter to The Prime Minister of the Republic of Iraq

Nejat Society Tehran, Iran July 2006 His Excellency, Nuri Al-Máliki The Prime Minister of the Republic of Iraq Baghdad, Iraq Your Excellency, Respectfully, we would like to acknowledge that the members and authorities of Nejat Society in Iran are most contented with your latest decisive stance regarding that the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organisation (MKO), which is internationally categorised as a terrorist group, should be expelled from Iraq.

Nejat Society is consisted of those ex-members of the MKO who managed to free themselves from the mental and even physical barriers of the Organisation. The main object of the Society is of course to try to help the previous comrades in such way that they be able to free themselves too and start a decent normal life again along with their families and beloved ones.

There is one undeniable fact that MKO and its National Liberation Army (NLA) have been an inseparable part of Saddam Hussein’s Regime and have even participated along the forces of the Deposed Despot to suppress the People of Iraq’s freedom movement in 1991. The Organisation is also responsible for many sabotage and terrorist activities inside Iran through the years.

You are probably aware that around 3000 members of MKO are residing in Ashraf Camp (Al-Khalis Garrison) under the control of the US Army. These people have no connection with their families what so ever and they have all been somehow brainwashed by the leaders and kept unaware about the outside world. They are systematically manipulated to serve in the benefits of the leaders.

Nejat Society finds its duty to try to bring these people out of their misery and once again introduce them to the normal life and the real world. In other words these people must be helped to survive from the state of captivity that they are experiencing at the moment. Driving them out of Iraq would mean liberating them from the hand of their capturers.

Expelling the members of MKO in a way that they no longer could be controlled by the leaders of the Organisation would be to their own best interests and that of their families. Once they become freed from the barriers of the Organisation and be let to think and decide independently and find themselves in a new world, they would certainly be most pleased about their new situation out of the Organisation’s control.

MKO would of course like to keep hold of the Ashraf Camp since it provides them a good opportunity to withhold the members isolated from the outside world. Therefore they would most definitely launch a public relation (PR) campaign to give a fake image that the majority of the Iranians are against the decision of the Government of Iraq. They would as a normal procedure try to falsely impress you by bombarding the office of the Prime Minister with fabricated letters.

As far as the Americans are concerned they are just passing time to see what would be the outcome in the future. It seems that they are not certain what to do with them. Some 600 people have defected from the MKO in Iraq since the collapse of Saddam Hussein while about 400 of them have managed to come back to Iran to their families and start a new life. Around 200 are therefore still with the TIPF alongside Ashraf Camp.

Let’s wish that all these unfortunate people who have been utilised by Massoud Rajavi in Iraq against the two great nations of Iraq and Iran as well as their families and have also suffered through the years for missing their beloved ones would soon gain reunion and start a new prosperous life.

With many thanks for your attention and with best regards

The MEK Expulsion from Iraq

Letter to the Iraqi Prime Minister

Dear Prime Minister of Iraq, Mr. Nouri Al Maliki,

In very recent news, we were informed that you have decided to expel the Iranian terrorist group Mojahedin-e- Khalq from your homeland, Iraq.

We are delighted by your brave, democratic decision, and hope to see the real action which would be to review the criminal file of those 3,000 brainwashed followers of Rajavi in Camp Ashraf and bring them to justice with a fair trial.

As you are well aware, for over twenty-five years the Mojahedin-e- Khalq had a tight relationship with the former dictatorship of Iraq under Saddam Hussein, and they not only betrayed Iranians but also your nation of Iraqi as well. There is plentiful evidence to show and affirm that in 1991, the Mojahedin stood side by side with Saddam’s forces in suppression of the Kurdish population in the north and the Shiite population in the south of Iraq. There is also evidence of the Mojahedin receiving financial help from Saddam Hussein for their terrorist and betrayal activities. As you know well, the Mojahedin-e-Khalq during those periods of time, trained terrorists in Iraq and led them inside Iran for terrorist activities in which many innocent civilians were killed and some badly injured, and definitely our people in Iran will never forget such betrayal, and we are sure the betrayed Iraqi have the same feeling as we do.

Today, after the fall of Saddam Hussein, the Mojahedin-e Khalq as usual, have appeared in other form of betrayal to Iraqi and Iranian nations. Inside Iraq, they encourage the Iraqi citizens to expand the sectarian war, so they could benefit from the crisis, and in Western countries, the Mojahedin-e-Khalq encourage the Western governments to start a war in Iran.

So dear Prime Minister, at the time of Saddam Hussein’s rule, it was not possible for us, the Iranians, to claim any justice against the Mojahedin-e-Khalq, because of the dictatorship government in Iraq. But now, since democracy has been established in Iraq, we would like to sincerely ask you, please bring the leaders of the Mojahedin-e-Khalq to a justice for what they have done over the past 25 years against the two nations with a aid of Saddam Hussein and his Baath Party, and free those innocent followers who are trapped in Ashraf simply by being brainwashed by the cult methods of Rajavi.

We hope for peace, stability and democracy in Iraq and the whole Middle East region, and faster action on closing the Camp Ashraf, so that the two neighboring countries are able to continue building a relationship based on trust and mutual respect.

Sincerely,

Pars-Iran (dissociated Members of Mojahedin in Canada)

Do the majority of UK MPs really support Mojahedin’s terrorist agenda?

Below is the text of a letter sent to UK Prime Minister, Tony Blair by Anne Singleton asking whether "the majority of members of the House of Commons and over 160 members of the House of Lords" support Maryam Rajavi, leader of the terrorist Mojahedin Khalq organization. The constituents of such MPs are surely entitled to know whether their local MP supports a terrorist agenda or not.

Dear Prime Minister,

One year ago, on the very same day as the London bombings, representatives of a globally proscribed terrorist organization were being entertained in the House of Lords by Lord Corbett. Such a regrettable misuse of Britain’s democratic institutions by Lord Corbett is not new, and complaints have frequently been made to the relevant authorities, including the Home Minister.

Yet now, as the anniversary of London’s terrorist atrocity approaches, and the country is taking stock of the terrorist threat from extremists, Lord Corbett has again flouted every normal boundary of decency and again shown his contempt for democracy by once more inviting representatives of the terrorist Mojahedin Khalq into parliament to celebrate their ideology of violence.

A Persian language communiqué from the National Council of Resistance of Iran (which is universally recognized not as the ‘political wing’ but as the front name for the Mojahedin Khalq Organization, aka: MKO, MEK, PMOI, Saddam’s private army), announced that the Mojahedin had arranged for a ‘Plaque of Support’ to be presented by the unelected members of the House of Lords, Lord Slynn of Hadley, Lord Russell-Johnston and Baroness Harris of Richmond, on July 1, 2006, to Maryam Azodanloo (Rajavi), head of the terrorist Mojahedin Khalq organization.

The plaque was presented to her in a ceremony to celebrate the anniversary of her arrest in June 2003 in France on terrorism charges – for which she is still under investigation. That particular event was immediately followed by the death of two and injuries to tens of cult members when they committed self immolation on her direct order in several major European cities in a clear act of aggression against the French government and judiciary.

The plaque has been created in the name of Lord Corbett – who is well known as a Rajavi cult member in the House of Lords. On it is the claim that this accolade has been presented "on behalf of the majority of members of the House of Commons and over 160 members of the House of Lords".

Lord Corbett is known as Rajavi’s leading cult protégée, who for the past 20 years has promoted her military cult and its aims through frequent comments and speeches under her Kalashnikov logo, in which he has uncritically promoted Mojahedin Khalq violence and supported the organization during its mercenary work for Saddam Hussein.

Lord Corbett has frequently claimed that hundreds of British parliamentarians support the terrorist Mojahedin cult and its leader Maryam Rajavi, but to date has produced not a single scrap of evidence to support these false claims.

The idea of a ‘plaque’ was dreamed up by the Mojahedin themselves. It is the latest in a long line of exploitation of parliamentary procedure and protocol. In the past the group has regularly composed carefully worded oral and written questions which they have supplied to their cult recruits in parliament in order to get signatures by deception in support of their violent ideology. They have used their leading political cult member Lord Corbett in order to hold meetings inside the Houses of Parliament which are attended by their own cult members, in which they celebrate death and violence and terrorism under the guise of support for human rights and democracy.

The Iranian community in the UK and, certainly, the constituents of every MP who, according to Lord Corbett, potentially supports the leader of a foreign terrorist organization, seek urgent clarification of this issue.

Is it true that many members of the British parliament are now supporting a foreign terrorist organization and its leader and have proffered a plaque to her as a symbol of that support?

I would appreciate a clear answer which will explain the actions of Lord Corbett "on behalf of the majority of members of the House of Commons and over 160 members of the House of Lords".

Mujahedin Khalq 's Terrorism

A letter to Mr. Zvernia!

Dear Mr. Zverina!

During a session of the European Parliament in Strassburg on May, 19th 2006 you are reported to have said: „The National Resistance Council (NRC) of Iran is a solution against the islamic fundamentalism in Iran….” Furthermore, you are said to be of the opinion Mrs Rajavi would be the only hope to Iran. We just cannot understand your motives.

As you should know, the armed combat and terrorist activities of this organisation killed many innocent people in the last twenty years. There is numerous evidence for this. The terrorist attacks hampered the peaceful process for freedom and democracy in Iran. Mr. and Mrs. Rajavi are MKO´s religious leaders with reactionary ideology. Members of MKO are forced to divorce from their present partners or are dictated to marry partners having been selected by the leaders. Parents and children are being separated from each other. Within the organisation, there is no freedom of speech or democracy. For religious reasons, men and women are not allowed to give their hands to each other – it might imply sexual desire.

Mr. and Mrs. Rajavi instruct and form the members to propensity of violence (see persons burning themselves to death in 2003 in Paris). The Iranian people do not support the MKO for having collaborated with Iraq´s former dictator Saddam Hussein. Therefore, MKO pursues its campaign by propaganda in Europe and abroad in order to find their way out of isolation.

We should all wonder, how it would be possible for a woman like Maryam Rajavi to ever bring freedom and democracy to Iran?

Attached please find a short documentation of MKO´s previous terrorist activities. We would appreciate if you would ask our news service for more information.

Best regards

Mujahedin Khalq Organization's Propaganda System

A letter to Lord Fraser

Dear Lord Fraser!

After having met Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the religious leader of the Iranian People´s Mojahedin, a woman that is representing herself as being the elected president of Iran, you are reported in their journal „Mojahed“, No. 803 dating May, 15th 2006, to have said that in your opinion MKO would not be a terrorist organisation and you would be supporting the organisation in their way of bringing the Iranian government to fall.

It is Mrs. Rajavi´s idea to bring down the Iranian government with the help of the Americans, which are to bomb the Iranian country and then give way to the dispatch of ground forces of the National Resistance Army (NRA) from Iraq. This plan is continuously being presented and repeated in the media of the organisation MKO. By means of purposeful propaganda MKO is trying to win supporters for their political goals. For many years Mr. and Mrs. Rajavi have cooperated with the former dictator of Iraq, Saddam Hussein, making numerous attacks with leaving many innocent people dead. She does not even shrink back from using the organisation´s members for her purpose (i. e. people burning themselves to death). Such an organisation that is being listed for several years as terrorist organisation would scarcely be capable to bring democracy and freedom to Iran and the Iranian people.

Judging from your previous statements, for instance in the journal „Scotsmen“, you have appeared to be declaring yourself against war and violence. We would assume that you are not really willing to support a person like Mrs. Rajavi.

Attached please find a short documentation of MKO´s previous terrorist activities. We would appreciate if you would ask our news service for more information. Best regards AAWA Association Cologne, May 30th 2006

Temporary Internment and Protection Facility-TIPF

Nejat Society’s letter to TIPF

Temporary International Presence Facility (TIPF)

Dear Sir,

We in the Nejat (Salvation) Society in Iran would like to draw your outstanding attention to a very important and imperative subject concerning the members of the Mojahedin-e-Khalq Organisation (MKO) of Iran whom are held in the Ashraf Camp in north of Baghdad.

The Nejat Society consists of those ex-members of the Organisation whom have been rescued from the notorious establishment of the MKO and returned to their families inside Iran. The main objective of the Society is to help the previous colleagues whom still mentally or even practically are imprisoned by the Organisation in Iraq. We have tried to our best to manage visits between the relatives and the members; although we have not been very successful in this regards.

We have learned about the excellent activities of TIPF in Iraq who has done a good effort to help those members who wished to free themselves and start a new respectful life for the rest of their lives. Your work has always been appreciated by the many Iranians particularly the families of the victims who are still held captive in the Camp in Iraq. To our opinion TIPF has a historical and humanitarian roll to play for those who really need to be supported and helped to a safe and sound future. We also believe that your work has not been fully recognised and appreciated worldwide and more support must be gained for it.

It should be taken into consideration that the MKO has been recognised as a cult organisation and dealing with a cult which has had the chance of controlling its members in such isolated surroundings like Iraq for many years is a very careful assignment. To our opinion the members of the Organisation should individually be treated as separate cases and the help of their relatives and old friends should be sought. We are pleased to say that the Nejat Society has had plenty experience in this manner.

We are fully aware that the MKO is not happy with the work of TIPF since they wish to continue their domination and control over the members in the framework of the Organisation as they used to do under Saddam Husseinâ€™s dictatorship. We have observed that the MKO has had a hostile attitude towards TIPF and even called them the apparatus of the Iranian Regime. But we believe that TIPF should continue with its good work and insist on the visits made between the members of the Organisation and their families without the presence of the authorities of the MKO under the supervision of the International Red Cross.

We strongly believe that TIPF could play a vital roll to break the present lock concerning the members still residing in Iraq in order to help them to freely and independently decide about their own future without the inspiration usually imposed by the Organisation. Whether they would like to leave the Organisation or hold with it and whether they wish to return to Iran or move to a third country ought to be decided unconventionally with enough thought and careful study by every one personally.

The Nejat Society is seeking an active contact with TIPF since the two establishments are dealing with the same subject and they both wish to help the same people. To our opinion the work of TIPF so far should carefully be revised and evaluated. We think we could find a great deal of subjects that we could share and discuss about. We would be most delighted if we could receive a communication from you soon and we do appreciate any contact with your institution in the future.

Looking forward to hearing or seeing from you

Yours Sincerely

Belgium

Nejat Society Letter to The chairman and representatives of Belgium parliament

Honorable chairman and representatives of Belgium parliament

Dear Sirs

Since the foreign affairs committee of Belgian parliament has issued a statement to support the terrorist group MEK on April 27th, 2006, a lot of broad-minded people wonder why a free country like Belgium which supports human rights should patronize a terrorist cult.

Therefore we draw the respectable representatives’ attention to the documented report of Human Rights Watch, UN and US statements on the Cult of Rajavi. Through these reports the defectors of the group bring documented evidences of prison, torture, censure, separation of children from their parents, public divorces and many other examples of human rights violations. The terrorist cult also has assassinated civilians in Iran and Iraq. The group tortures dissatisfied members as well as threatening them.

Dear Sirs

How could it happen that no attention is paid to all existing documents on the real nature of this cult which has a dark history of human rights violations and has always eliminated the members only because they criticized their dictator leaders policies.

The honorable representatives were deceived by the false propaganda of the cult and have supported the cult without any investigation; however there are a lot of documents and evidences on the terrorist nature of MKO.

It is expected that the respected Belgian representatives who are the defendants of democracy and freedom of minds act impartially as the public thoughts demand and encounter the terrorists so firmly that they would not be questioned by the world.

We are pleased to remind you that it is below your dignity to ignore the shameful activities of a terrorist group and bring question to your claims about democracy and human rights since everything would be recorded by the history.

Dear honorable representatives

As the former members of MKO, we, who have founded a society to save our former friends in the cult and fight the cruelty of its leaders, request the Belgian parliament to consider the human rights interests and keep away from this fascist, terrorist cult immediately and band the group as what the UN did.

Sincerely yours

Nejat Society

Good Terrorist and Bad Terrorist?

Mr. Jack Layton, Leader of NDP

House of Commons

Ottawa, ON K1A 0A6

Dear Mr. Layton,

GOOD TERRORIST AND BAD TERRORIST?

We would like to request you to address the Iranian Community’s concerns regarding the reality that certain members of the Conservatives and Liberal Caucuses are receiving support from and meeting regularly with an exile group of Iranians aligned with Neo -Cons in the U.S. Indeed, given that the group previously acted under the patronage of Saddam Hussein,. The group is despised by mainstream Iranians residing in Canada, as well as in Iran, ordinary citizens and political activists.

The organizations is so called Mojahedin Khalq (MKP) and/or the National Council of Resistance of Iran (N.C.R.I). Nonetheless, they habitually assume given names to elude the authorities of countries in which they are active.

The number of occasions on which Liberal or Conservative members of Parliament have met with this organization are numerous, and include, but are not restricted to the followings:

1. December 18, 2005: Two Conservatives member of Parliaments (MPs) and one independent flew to Toronto to attend a conference organized and attended exclusively by members of the Mojahedin at the Colony Hotel in Toronto. The Four MPs consisting of Stockwell Day, Paul Forseth, Yasmin Ratansi , and David Killgour all spoke and endorsed the idea of regime change in Iran by military force.

2. March 31, 2006: Yasmin Ratansi; Jim Karygiannis; Susan Kadis; and Bryon Wilfert attended a meeting organized and attended exclusively by members of the Mojahedin organization. In fact, Yasmin Ratansi and Bryon Wilfert decided to ignore a meeting arranged by mainstream Iranians and decided instead to only attend this meeting. Such as they did at a forum by four parties candidates on election on Jan 9, 06.

As such, while it is understandable that reasonable people will disagree about the proper definition to be accorded terrorists, given that this is an organization listed as terrorist by the Canadian Government, suggests that these Members of Parliament have taken it upon themselves to distinguish between good and bad terrorists.

For example, how is it that Foreign Minister Mackay can state "not a red cent to "Hamas" and decide to withhold funding from the Palestinian territories, while other Members of Parliament meet with the terrorist organization members right here in our own backyard. To put it differently, am I the only person who finds it hypocritical that Mr. Stockwell Day who is the current Minister of Public Safety has no misgivings about dealing with a terrorist organization?

It is important to note that, the vast majority of Iranian-Canadians residing in this country loathe the Mojahedin. While the majority of Iranians fled Iran to escape theocrats authoritarian regime, the Ayatollahs, they have the same tolerance for the Mojahedin.. The reasons for such hatred are, after all, quite obvious and understandable. Because the organization is undemocratic and sectarian that practicing violence. Such reputable organizations as Human Rights Watch have recently dedicated two studies to cataloguing serious violation of Human Rights and crimes undertaken by this organization.

Statement on Responses to Human Rights Watch Report on Abuses by the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) (February 5, 2006)

Human Rights Abuses Inside the Mojahedin Khalq Camps (May 2005)

As Iranian-Canadians, we expect our government in Ottawa to make good on its promise of supporting democracy. As members of Canadian society we are wedded to the understanding that democracy in Iran will not be achieved by resorting to military action or supporting proxy organizations such as the Mojahedin.

Our appeal is simple, respect the views of Iranian-Canadians. Do put pressure on the ruling clergies to respect freedom of speech and free all the prisoners of conscious, seeking justice for Zahra Kazemi and respect the Human Rights and democracy. Democracy in Iran will not achieved by the military actions. Any government that turns a blind eye to atrocities that are blatant violations of human rights, is an accessory to these acts. May we point out after more than 53 years Iranian have still not forgotten the U.S. led coup in 1953 against the democratically elected government of Dr. Mohammad Mosadegh.

With the hope of your immediate consideration,

Yours truly

Nejat Society Letter to the President Jalal Talibani

Dear Mr. President Jalal Talibani Nejat Society congratulates you on your being elected as the president of Iraq. Also, we are pleased with the appointment of Mr.Javad Al-Maleki as the Prime minister of Iraq to organize the Iraqi Cabinet. We hope that the new cabinet, with the cooperation of Iraqi people could provide a bright and dynamic future for Iraqi nation, which was under the boots of the dictator –Saddam Hussein- and his terrorist accomplices for a long time.

Nejat Society wishes Iraqi Government to provide security in the whole country and could progress in cultural, social, political and economical domains. The Iraqi state can prevent all the foreigners and terrorist groups from intervening in Iraqi affairs. Since Iraq has suffered a lot from terrorist groups (ei- Mujahedin –e-khalq and its leader, Masud Rajavi); including the mass murder of Iraqi Shiites and Kurds in 1991.

It is proper that the current state decides definitely to expel this terrorist cult out of Iraqi territory and makes the deceived members of the cult return their homeland, Iran, and join their families .Also it is fair to try the leaders of the terrorist cult Mujahedin Khalq in Iraqi courts along with Saddam Hussein and punish them on their anti human crimes.

With Best Regards

Letter to the Canadian Minister of immigration

The Honourable Mike Colle

Ontario Minister of Citizenship and Immigration

Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration

6th Floor, 400 University Avenue

Toronto, Ontario M7A 2R9

Dear Sir,

We have been informed that Mr. Shahram Golestaneh (Golestane, Golestaney) the unoficial representative of the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation of Iran (aka. MEK, MKO, NCR, NCRI, PMOI, …) under the name of "Committee for Defence of Human Rights in Iran" (CDHRI) has been trying to get hold of Canadian Citizenship during the recent years. We believe that he has submitted an application form in 2000 and has not been granted this citizenship.

The Ottawa newspapers have reported that:

… In Golestaney’s case, the security clearance has proved to be the sticking point.

He took his case to the Federal Court of Canada, seeking an order that Citizenship and immigration decide on his application within 30 days. In his December decision, justice Paul Rouleau ruled against Golestaneh, noting there is no statutory deadline for deciding on a citizenship application…"

The paper notes that:

"In 1994 he was convicted over an attack … when a mob armed with sticks, mallets and a sledgehammer ransacked a building just a few blocks south of Parliament Hill, … Golestane was convicted of breaking and entering and of an attack on internationally protected premises. A woman suspected by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service of masterminding the attack was deported in 1993. CSIS identified her as the Canadian leader of the Mujahedin e Khalq of MEK…Canada designated the group a terrorist entity under federal law… Golestaneh denies being involved with the MEK."

As the ex _members of MKO and as an organisation which helps disaffected members and victims of this terrorist cult, we would like to inform you that Mr. Golestaneh although denying his relation with this organisation, has been one of the leading members of the cult in Canada for years and his statements and activities are frequently published in the organisations clandestine television program as well as related web sites including www.iranfocus.com in English and www.mojahedin.org in Farsi.

The documents and evidence of his activities in promotion of the heads of this cult-like terrorist organisation in Canada could be submitted in any court of justice if needed. These documents include Golestaneh’s involvement in organised meetings and demonstrations as well as frequent public support for the MKO and its leaders (Massoud Rajavi, a fugitive after the fall of Saddam and Maryam Rajavi currently under investigation in Paris on terrorism related charges) as recently as a few weeks ago.

Below you can see a recent picture of Mr. Golestaneh supporting terrorism under the flag of the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation.

And the following is a picture of his interview with the clandestine satellite program of the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation

As an organisation which supports many victims of this cult we would like to let you know that if needed we are able to provide the relevant authorities, further documents and evidence concerning the ongoing involvement of Mr. Golestaneh and other agents of this terrorist cult in Canada.

Yours
