Atefeh Sebdani, a child of Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK, Cult of Rajavi) wrote about the traumatic memoirs of the so-called trips in her childhood in a foster family.
Atefeh and her siblings together with hundreds of MEK children had been separated from their Mujahed parents in Iraq and had been smuggled to Sweden. The MEK agents had delivered five of them, Atefeh, her two biological brothers and two other children, to a couple who were sympathizers of the group and they themselves had one child.
Right now, Atefeh Sebdani is on vacation with her family in Greece. From there, she has published two posts on her Facebook account and explained what “vacation” meant in her childhood in a foster family who received Swedish social funds for five foster children!
Atefeh and her siblings were left home alone by their foster parents but sometimes they were taken to trips by the MEK or as Atefeh says by “the cult”. However, the trips were not like vacations. They were taken by bus to any location that the MEK was supposed to hold a rally. The children were expected to make the rally look crowded. They had to beat on drums, wave flags and chant slogans of the Cult of Rajavi. Atefeh has previously written about those exhausting missions for MEK Children in European cities 15498.
Now, read her new posts on her Facebook account from Greece:
MEK Children left home alone by their foster parents
July 18th, 2024 :
When I was a child, my siblings and I had to stay at home while our foster parents and their biological son went away on vacations.
It was the Dominican Republic, the USA, London, Rome, Mallorca…
I often thought that at some point someone should see this. Especially since my foster parents not too rarely went with others or visited others. That we were never allowed to come along. That we were left alone at home. Sometimes for two weeks.
When someone asked why we weren’t there, they said we didn’t want to. And they were satisfied with that answer.
That five children did not want to go with them for a week to Mallis to sunbathe and swim. Rather be left alone in a rainy Sweden. Cook for themselves when the leftovers and snacks in the pantry run out. Fall asleep by themselves in the large villa. Keep an eye on each other in case something happens. In a time without mobile phones and no contact with our guardians.
When our foster parents then came home, they handed out the souvenirs they had mercifully bought for us.
– Thank you, thank you, what a nice necklace, we said gratefully.
While they were telling the stories from their trip, about the old man in a square who made that particular necklace by hand. It was a fun experience for them to see his work, we understood. Like everything else they experienced that they remembered so well and laughed about sometimes.
If we were lucky, we got to see some photos too. But only if we were lucky.
MEK demonstrations filled out by Children
July 19th, 2024:
You were shocked by what I wrote about my foster parents in the previous post.
Although sometimes we got to go on trips too.
It was the trips we were put on a bus to various European locations. There were cities that many in the People’s Mujahedin sect did not find so exciting to go to for demonstrations. But even these demonstrations needed to be filled out. Then it was perfect to bring us along.
We usually went so we would prefer not to sleep over somewhere. If it was night, we could take a nap on the bus. On some occasions it became difficult to get the logistics for the bus driver and then we were checked into a Formula 1 hotel. Entire families in one room with only a double bed was nothing strange. Lying down and sleeping on a floor wasn’t either. We solved most of it. Our purpose, the fight in the name of the sect, was the most important. And we foster children, who were never otherwise allowed to go anywhere, were happy to be included.
When the demonstration was over, they collected us at the buses to go back home. What we had seen from our stay was a square engulfed in the cult’s flags and effigies of the leaders.
We came home and talked about our trips abroad. Many were the cities we had to cut down.
The foster parents are satisfied. Because of course we had to travel with us.
