Echoes on Presence of Nejat Society Albania in Modena Conference

The conference “Iran’s fight with domestic and international terrorism in the multipolar world” in Modena, Italy was covered by Italian and Iranian media. Activists of Nejat Society also welcomed the presence of Erisa Rahimi, as the representative of Nejat Society Albania, in the conference.

The aforementioned conference, which was held on the October 12th under the auspices of the Cultural Center of the Fatherland in Modena, Italy, hosted several Italian, Iranian and one Albanian figure, the representative of Nejat Society Albania.

In the news coverage of a conference that focused on Iran’s fight against terrorism in both internal and external dimensions, Italian media presented Iran as a victim of internal terrorism and especially as a victim of terrorist attacks by the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) cult.

Erisa Idrisi Rahimi as a representative of Nejat Society was one of the speakers of the conference. As she is closely familiar with people who are trapped in the MEK camp in Albania, she addressed the audience telling them about the dictatorship of the Rajavis over their group. She tried to be the voice of families of members of the Cult of Rajavi who have been suffering decades of separation from their loved ones. Members of the group, isolated from the outside world endure severe violation of human rights.

Ebrahim Khodabandeh, the CEO of Nejat Society in Iran believes, that the speech of Erisa Edrisi was welcomed by the audience and covered in the Italian media because she had new words to present compared to other speakers of the panel. In addition to dealing with the issue of terrorism, she also examined the MEK from the perspective of human rights and family rights.

As soon as the news was reflected in the media and also on the Nejat Society website, a number of families and members of the society contacted and expressed their satisfaction and sent congratulations.

The fact is that, thanks to the efforts of its members, Nejat Society Albania, a year after its establishment and after overcoming various problems and issues, is now a known brand with humanitarian objectives.
Italian news media that reflected the news of the conference include Report Sardegna 24, Marx 21, Il Tazebao, La Pressa and Agenzia Stampe Italia.

La Pressa newspaper had previously published a piece to announce the time and place of the conference and some information about the speakers and topics that would be discussed in the conference.

Ms. Maria Morigi’s report as a journalist and analyst who was present in the meeting was the most reflected in the media. Morigi, who was one of the speakers of the meeting, in her words about the terrorist and cult-like nature of the MEK, cited the famous article of American journalist Elizabeth Rubin, which was published in the New York Times magazine in 2003 under the title “The Cult of Rajavi”.

Morigi also published earlier in September on the same topic in Agence Stamp Italia. In her report, she discussed the violent background and cult-like attitude of the MEK and its international aspects.
