First of all we should see the real facts which exist in the political atmosphere in Iran, Europe and Western countries about the PMOI. It is better to begin with a substantial question which contains many ambiguities which has surrounded public opinion about PMOI.
Why do western and European countries persist in supporting PMOI? Why is such a terrorist organization so important for foreign countries? Is it because of PMOI’s slogans, ‘democracy and freedom for Iranian people’ or is it because of their popularity among Iranian people?
I am not a politician but as an Iranian and as a victim of this cult (Rajavi Cult ) it is my right to ask those politicians either European or American, why are you supporting an organization which is cursed and abject among Iranian people? Why have you closed your eyes and your ears to the facts revealed by many witnesses who had been members of this organization for many years? I am a live witness who had spent more than two decades of my life in that organization. I am a real witness of their atrocities toward Iraqi and Iranian people. I am real proof of their violent and brutal internal relations. I have experienced all their savagery and brutality with my own flesh and bones for two decades. Why do not you allow me and others to share our experiences of their real entity and essence which is completely different than the thing which they endeavor to show and present in their external affairs by their professional agents?
This organization which you are supporting politically believes in violence and bloodshed and carnage. Their slogan and catchword is armed struggle. After the presidential election in Iran, we witnessed some unrest inside Iran which was totally and utterly peaceful and non violent. But the PMOI’s agents, who it sent specially to Iran, tried their best to beget bloodbath and carnage out of those peaceful demonstrations just for their organization sake. Many of those agents were arrested and confessed. Iranian people who stood up for their rights peacefully demanded their needs and demands from Iranian politicians peacefully, and interestingly in none of those peaceful rallies and demonstrations they did not mention even once the name of this organization. The people of Iran fought 8 years against the invasion of Iraq to their soil, so how can they support and back the organization which fought shoulder to shoulder with Saddam Hussein’s army against them? How can Iranian people forgive and forget their full cooperation and collaboration with Saddam Hussein in killing their sons and daughters during 8 years destructive war? How can Iranian people support such a treacherous organization which gave vital military and civilian information to Saddam Hussein to utilize that information to bombard and missile Iranian cities and kill innocent people? In Iran it is very rare that we can find a family who has not lost one of their relatives in that war. While I was in this organization, Iraq was ruled by the dictator Saddam Hussein. During those days in Iraq, especially in 1990 and 1991, the leadership of PMOI ordered their National Liberation Army (NLA) to fully cooperate and collaborate with the Iraqi army in the suppression of Iraqi people who stood up against the savagery and brutality of their dictator Saddam Hussein. Massoud Rajavi the PMOI spiritual leader and NLA commander in chief was in complete coordination and cooperation with Saddam Hussein and his army as they were considered as Saddam’s private army. They both had very productive relations with each other. Saddam Hussein utilized the NLA in gaining vital military information from inside Iran by PMOI’s military invasions in Iranian territory as well as in suppression of the rebelling people of Iraq who were fed up with Saddam’s atrocities, and in return Saddam Hussein equipped them with different kinds of arms and tanks, armored vehicles, ammunition, heavy artillery and vast and miscellaneous military training which was taught by Saddam’s high ranking officers, colonels and brigadiers, even Saddam’s Presidential Guard who were professional and specialist in guerrilla warfare tactics, gave a lot of guerrilla training to the members of this organization.
Now I take you to the PMOI’s internal relations in their garrisons and military bases throughout Iraq. It is first worth mentioning that all those garrisons and military bases were given to PMOI leadership as a gift in relation to their espionage services and military cooperation with Saddam Hussein’s army and his notorious intelligence service. In their internal relations we were under severe religious indoctrination and brainwashing methods every single day. The PMOI Leadership Council was in charge of brainwashing and indoctrination of all members. We were forced to accept Rajavi as our spiritual leader, and we had to obey him and his orders without any doubt. Any question and ambiguity toward his position and his orders and his political and ideological analysis were considered to be a deadly sin and no one dared to open his thoughts against him and his ideas, because of the awful consequences. The PMOI Leadership Council tried its best to force us to accept him and his wife, Maryam Rajavi, as holy leaders who were God appointed and God sent. We had to accept and believe that Massoud Rajavi and his wife were totally saint-like and sinless and no one dared to criticize their position or their orders. We had to accept and cave in to everything they were telling us without any rejection or objection. The PMOI leadership during years of treachery and treason in cooperation with the Iranian people’s enemy, Saddam Hussein, little by little converted to a religious cult. Rajavi tried his best to deceive his members by brainwashing them to believe that they were invincible and untouchable. He was preaching that each Mojahed could fight with 100 Iranian soldiers and guards. He was encouraging his members to persevere and fight till the end. But he and his wife, Maryam, were the first who escaped from their so called battlefield, Iraq, when the political and military situation turned against Saddam Hussein and his government. And their escape substantiated that all those sermons and war cry were just brainwashing and indoctrination methods to keep all those members captive in Rajavi’s cultic ideology, to stay in Iraq and die for him and his wife. Both Rajavi and his wife, Maryam, were preaching that Massoud Rajavi will guide each and every Mojahed to Paradise after their death. The Leadership Council even insisted on the doctrine that Massoud Rajavi is the same as Imam Hussein and that Maryam is the same as Hazrat Zeynab.
It is very strange for me to see that despite all kinds of crimes that this organization has committed during three decades, some American politicians and their European counterparts still support them and try to delist them from the terrorist list. I have heard many times directly from PMOI spiritual leader, Massoud Rajavi, in general gatherings in different garrisons and bases that everything said and posed by the PMOI external affairs’ agents in foreign countries such as USA and European countries are just political propaganda to be supported and backed by superpowers for gaining political power in Iran. And after that the PMOI will show its real face which is totally against USA and European countries, because in their real ideology and beliefs, which are purposely hidden, the USA is considered as the real obstacle which obstructs the Third World countries from making progress. In the PMOI ideology, the only way to get rid of this obstacle is by the utter annihilation and destruction of USA. For that reason the PMOI leadership after the fall of Saddam Hussein government ordered the PMOI members to destroy and burn all the books and newspapers, magazines, documents, even the PMOI archives which had any trace of their real opinion and thoughts about USA.
At the time of 9/11, while the twin towers in New York were annihilated by terrorists and as a result thousands men and women lost their lives, the PMOI leadership ordered a huge gathering in Bagherzadeh Garrison in Baghdad to celebrate that catastrophic event. I was there in that gathering and I saw with my own eyes as the PMOI leadership Massoud and Maryam Rajavi ordered all their members to celebrate, and Massoud Rajavi said during that meeting, “I said [before] that the USA is just a paper tiger and someday it will be destroyed utterly by the revolutionary people and today [9/11] is just the beginning.”
Despite of all the evidence and witnesses to the real entity of PMOI and its destructive ideology the only reason which crosses my mind why are they supporting the PMOI is that the PMOI is utilized as a bargaining chip vis-a-vis Iran. I am sure that all the politicians who know this organization are totally aware that this organization does not have any capability to overthrow the Iranian regime, because of the following reasons:
1. The average age of PMOI members is over 50 years old.
2. The lack of leadership in PMOI, because their spiritual leader is in hiding and he is not in control of his organization anymore.
3. The vast and profound dissent and discord among its members about the lies which their leaders have told them for many years just to keep them there.
4. The PMOI is too cursed among Iranian people living either in Iran or in foreign countries to be a political opposition.
5. Their criminal records in Iran, Iraq and even against American military advisers in 70’s.
So the question which remains is that while aware of all these facts which I mentioned above, why is the PMOI utilized as bargaining chip? I think the answer to this question is very clear. The PMOI cannot overthrow the Iranian regime by any means and for that reason the PMOI leadership decided to connect itself to the Superpower to ask them for the same thing that Saddam Hussein did for them for two decades. They think that by becoming a mercenary like they were for Saddam Hussein, they will have a chance to gain power in Iran. And this idea has been understood by western politicians, that the PMOI by itself is nothing and is crippled like they were in the past, so they can be easily and cost free be exploited and used as a bargaining chip against Iranian regime and its nuclear agenda. There is no doubt that the Superpower and European countries are totally aware of the real entity of this organization and I am sure and confident that they do not even think that PMOI has the slightest chance in Iran’s future because of their treacherous past. But even supporting
PMOI tactically will be considered as a gross insult to all Iranian people and all the victims of this cult who lost all their lives in that cult for nothing.
The European and western countries should accept this concrete fact that PMOI is politically dead in Iran and the Iranian people who are looking for change in Iran’s politics hate this organization and in their opinion PMOI are considered as traitors and spies who turned their back on the Iranian people during Saddam Hussein’s military invasion of Iran and worse of all, gave him their full cooperation. In the end as an Iranian and a victim of this organization I ask everyone to stop supporting this dangerous religious cult and please do not gamble and bet on a dead horse.
Hassan Piransar/ an expert on Rajavi’s Cult
Honorable Madam Hillary Clinton, The US Secretary of State
Respectfully, at the beginning of my letter, I would like to introduce myself. I am Nader Naderi one of the former members of PMOI (People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran ) with almost twenty years of membership in that organization. I managed to separate from them and took refuge in the American camp (TIPF), located in Iraq, after the fall of Saddam Hussein the dictator of Iraq. I stayed in TIPF for four years.
During those awful years, I was witnessing the many crimes that this organization implemented against me and others. I had felt the real essence and content of this organization by my own flesh and bone, and the reality of this organization that I experienced in their garrisons and military bases is completely different than their behavior and attitude (anti terrorism and pro human rights) in Europe and United States of America.
The entity and the internal relations of this organization like the other religious cults throughout the world is based on fundamentalism and terrorism which separate them from any humanitarian values and foundations and as a result of this fact, their cultic internal relations are completely in contrast with all humane values and criteria. The members of this organization are deprived of having any choice, complaint and criticism and they are suffering from the lack of the basic and inferior individual rights, as a matter of fact in this organization having such rights are considered as blasphemy and treason against its leadership interests and they have designated harsh and severe punishments for people who wants to have those rights. Any dissent and disobedience in this organization will be suppressed and oppressed viciously and brutally with no mercy. [..]under PMOI leadership any protest, complaint, and criticism will be suppressed utterly with no mercy.
This organization with such a terrorist identity had participated in many crimes against humanity in Iraq during Saddam Hussein’s reign and they cooperated with Saddam Hussein by all means. This organization with such a terrorist content and essence while the catastrophic event of 9/11 occurred in USA by the terrorist Al Quaida organization, they began throwing parties and distributing cookies, candies, and pastries among their members in their garrisons and military bases in Iraq to celebrate this cowardly and shameful attack which caused the death of thousands American men and women in twin towers and other places on US soil. The PMOI leader Maryam Rajavi who is living in her command base on French soil and she pretends that she is in love with democracy, freedom , justice and she cares about human rights and etc , she was the main factor to provoke and encourage her members to celebrate the death of thousands innocent people. Simultaneously, her husband, Massoud Rajavi was threatening and doing war cry. Massoud Rajavi said, “This operation (referring to 9/11) was the production of the fundamentalist Islam, now you wait and see what will happen if the revolutionary Islam comes to power (meaning the PMOI).” He was joyful and happy while he was watching the catastrophic event of 9/11 on the widescreen in Bagherzadeh Garrison.
Dear Madame Clinton, unfortunately some of your politicians have closed their eyes on PMOI’s past and its terrorist entity and instead of condemning the PMOI as a terrorist organization, they support and back them up. We are talking about an organization which according to one of the US State Department’s reports, is introduced as one of the most dangerous organizations throughout the world. We are talking about an organization which is totally against capitalism and it is proud of killing the American military advisors by its members during the Shah’s time. We are talking about an organization which one of its teachings was the struggle against Imperialism led by USA. These teachings were compulsory and all the members had to participate in those classes and Mr. Mohammad Seyed Al Mohaddessin, who is currently in charge of PMOI foreign affairs and pretends that he is pro human rights and against terrorism was the instructor of those classes. It is pretty strange that Mrs. Maryam Rajavi and Mr. Mohaddessin rapidly change their faces and become anti terrorism and pro human rights! The leader of this organization, Massoud Rajavi at the beginning of the war between coalition forces led by USA and Iraq declared war against USA and its troops and he said, “The day of revenge and punishment of Imperialism has arrived” and he instructed to all his members to fight against invasion of USA to Iraq, but his instruction was confronted with dissent in general by his rank and file and he was forced to retreat from his instruction.
This organization has made lots of humanitarian-like associations throughout Europe and in USA to deceive parliamentarians and politicians with the glamorous slogans like freedom , democracy , social justice, etc, but in their internal relations they are continuing their infelicitous ideological teachings to brainwash their members for keeping them ready for diabolic and ominous objectives.
This fact that they are disarmed completely by coalition forces led by USA is utterly right, but this question crosses my mind that “is their terrorist ideology which propagandizes death and hollowness also disarmed?” Their ideology is based on terror and maximum violence and the tool for begetting violence and terror is arms, so this ideology which is still working in their internal relations forces them to find arms and in my opinion they are capable of finding arms.
This organization basically is against family and making family. As you know after the ideological revolution in this organization all people who were married, were forced to get divorced, and now you can not find any married person and family in their internal relations. Since nine months ago many families of those stranded members who have been kept in Ashraf have been picketing to see their loved ones. It is more than two decades that those families have not seen their loved ones and now the PMOI operatives and officials do not allow those desperate families to visit their loved ones.
Recently Massoud Rajavi, the supreme leader of PMOI, has declared in one of his messages that if the Iraqi government wants to take its property back (Ashraf Garrison) the world will come across with a mass suicide like Khalkha group and David Koresh. Mr. Rajavi is ready, for his own survival, to sacrifice all those members. Well, this organization with such a cultic ideology probably would carry out such a mass suicide.
Now, Madam Clinton with all cultic behaviors and attitudes of PMOI and its terrorist ideology and beliefs the US politicians should stand under the PMOI emblem and take a picture with PMOI officials on your soil? The PMOI emblem which has a sign of an arm (Kalashnikov) which propagandizes the maximum violence?
Dear Madam Clinton, I urge you to intervene and force the PMOI officials to allow the families to meet with their loved ones, and also I urge you to prevent a human catastrophe (mass suicide) which PMOI supreme leader Massoud Rajavi, in his recent message has threatened. Massoud Rajavi the PMOI supreme leader deliberately and purposely wants to begin a skirmish with Iraqi forces to beget the human catastrophe that I mentioned above.
Madam Clinton, history has showed to us that all the terrorist organizations are alike and they should be isolated internationally. I wish all those captives of Rajavi’s ideology can be freed in the near future.
Regards,
Nader Naderi, Paris
Separated member of PMOI
Honorable US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton
Respectfully,
I had been a member of PMOI (People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran) for more than two
decades and I had spent and wasted twenty years of my life in Iraq in different garrisons and bases of this organization. Fortunately, I managed to rescue myself from this organization in 2004 and I took refuge in an American camp called TIPF, which was run and controlled by American army. I stayed in that camp for almost four years waiting to go to my ordinary and simple life and finally in 2008 prior to closing the camp completely, I left the camp. After going through many difficulties and hardships, finally I arrived in Europe safe and sound.
Madame Clinton, it is very painful and woeful for me when I see that your country has allowed some of the members of this organization to stay in your country and take advantage of democracy and freedom which exist in your country for a long time. The terrorists who not only are not less powerful than Al-Qaida but also they are more complicated than them. They enjoy the benefits and privileges of being American citizens and unfortunately some of your political officials back them up. It is pretty strange for me while I hear or see that those PMOI members freely propagandize in favor of their group in your country. Your country became a target of terrorism which because of that thousands American men and women lost their lives in 9/11 and that catastrophic incident gave this message to all American people and politicians that they should be more vigilant and careful. Freedom and democracy is just, good and ideal for people but there are always people who take advantage of the democracy and freedom in favor of their terrifying intensions.
I am a live witness who had lived many years among them in different garrisons and bases, and with the complete knowledge and experience that I have gained about this organization, it is crystal clear for me that the leaders of this organization cunningly by spending huge amounts of money and disguising themselves behind a mask of freedom and democracy just to deceive people as well as the politicians throughout the world, successfully they hid their awful past which is laden with criminal records in Iraq, Iran and even against American citizens in the 70s, and by these tricks they have gathered a few foreign political backers in Europe and USA. But I should remind you that never trust a viper or python because we can not expect them to give birth to a beautiful dove of peace. This organization from its foundation till now has paved its way by utilizing aimless and blind terrorism, bombing and always disguising its image suitable with the condition on the ground and I am sure that your country as the first superpower in the whole world equipped by modern and complicated technology and science has enough evidence and information about this organization, its past and its present. Now the question which crosses our minds is why is this organization allowed and authorized to continue its presence in your country despite of being blacklisted and considered as a terrorist organization in your terrorist list?
Now this question crosses our mind that: “can Al Qaida leader or its representatives live and do their political activities in USA? If these terrorists change their clothes and wear suit and tie instead of their local clothing and eliminate their turban and begin chanting slogans like freedom, democracy and throw expensive parties and banquets, and etc, will your country and your resentful and mournful people who lost someone in 9/11 forget and relinquish their crimes? Have not you maximum penalty for criminals, murderers and slayers in your country like other countries? So the world has its own laws and regulations vis-a-vis terrorism and crime, specifically after the 9/11 catastrophe. So any kind of help, backing and supporting of criminals, slayers, and terrorists is considered as a cursed and obscene act, so why is there a support and help for them?
We are talking about an organization which its outside image is like a godsend angel who is the symbol of justice and equality and freedom loving as well as modernized and revolutionary but I should say to you from the bottom of my heart, according to my own personal experiences which I gained them all by wasting the best years of my life in that organization that this angel is just a diabolic cult but very powerful one in its essence and content, and its entity is completely dependent on the cultic regulation and rules which the other cults should come and take lessons from them. Substantially, which logic does justify the presence of this organization in your country? We are talking about an organization that has killed many Iranian people in their terrorist’s missions inside Iran.
They have killed and suppressed many Iraqi people (Kurds and Shiites) during their uprising in 1990 and 1991 to overthrow Saddam Hussein’s reign and in return they received many valuable and priceless gifts from their godfather, Saddam Hussein. In this organization any complaint and criticism toward its agenda and tactics especially towards its leadership will be punished severely and harshly, and no one dares to criticize against the leadership of this organization. So how do they claim that they are pro-democracy and freedom? I never forget this famous phrase which both Massoud and Maryam Rajavi used to utilize in their ideological indoctrination sessions to brainwash their members and it was “No one in this organization has any right except one right which is the right of dying for the sake of the leadership of this organization.” Can anyone find any trace of freedom and democracy in this phrase? Have we forgotten the desperate members of this organization who set themselves on fire just because Mrs. Maryam Rajavi was detained by the French police?
Is there any logic in these self burnings? But these kind of reactions which are implemented by the members of this organization substantiate a very powerful fact that they are capable of creating and begetting awful scenes wherever and whenever their leadership desires and that is an undeniable fact which all foreign politicians and governments should think about.
We should not forget that this organization had assassinated US military advisors during the Shah’s era (in 70’s) in Iran about which documents are available and I am sure that your central intelligence agency (CIA) has that evidence and documents. We should not forget that many dissident members of this organization who dared to open their mouths and complain about the brutal and inhumane agenda of this organization and its leadership either were mysteriously killed or disappeared and vanished (the names of those members who have been killed or have disappeared are available).
The political unrest after the Iran’s presidential election in 2009 perfectly showed that this organization does not have any popularity among Iranian people whatsoever and on the contrary they are considered as cussed and damned organization by Iranian people because of their cooperation and collaboration with the dictator of Iraq, Saddam Hussein who killed many Iranian citizens, military and civilian, during 8 year war with Iran.
The political unrest in Iran were just a peaceful demonstrations but the leadership of this organization intended to provoke the Iranian people to convert their peaceful demonstrations to a bloody chaos and they wanted to create carnage and bloodshed to take advantage of the blood in the favor of their leadership’s political interests. But the Iranian people were very vigilant and alert so they did not allow them to succeed in their diabolic plot. Actually the PMOI leadership was thinking that with the bloodshed and carnage the people of Iran would be provoked and instigated and as a result of that they would come on the streets of Tehran and other cities so the Iranian regime would have been overthrown by Iranian people, then the PMOI leadership would use this chance to return to Iran and confiscate the political power, but the truth is that Iranian people who are resentful of any violence and bloodshed, overcame the PMOI’s diabolic plot and they unanimously said No to the violence and bloodshed which was the desire of the PMOI leadership.
Dear Madam Clinton, any democracy and freedom has two aspects. The positive aspect of any democracy and freedom is for the people who are living under the democracy and freedom to promote their lives and gain whatever they want in their lives. But the negative aspect of any democracy and freedom is the people who want to take advantage of those two, democracy and freedom, to forward their diabolic intensions by using the levers which exist in any democratic and progressive countries. As a veteran and former member of this organization and according to my own knowledge of their internal relations and their thoughts and ideology , this is my humane duty to warn you that do not trust them by no means and do not be deceived by their beautiful slogans which are totally hollow and meaningless for them. This organization is not just “suspect of terrorism”, it is a terrorist organization itself which has come on the political stage equipped with glamorous and deceitful slogans and words which are totally meaningless and ridiculous in their leaders’ minds. I am ready to be present in any place and any court of law to testify about their crimes and reveal their real face which has been hidden purposely behind their mask of freedom and democracy just to forward their cultic ambitions.
With desire for peace and peaceful coexistence without any violence , bloodshed and terror.
Hassan Piransar/Paris
Honorable Secretary State of United States of America,
Greeting,
I am a former MKO member with over 22 years presence in Iraq and I also spent approximately four years at one of United States of America Military Camps in "Khaales" region in Iraq (Close to Ashraf Camp) after Iraq invasion. During this period I have witnessed a great deal of injustice, oppression, psychological and physical pressures by the leaders of the MKO organization on its own members. Furthermore, during this period, I have closely observed and heard all the Political and religious positions taken by MKO leader Massoud Rajavi. Unfortunately, it is a pity for me to let you know that the political and religious remarks made by MKO leader and his wife Maryam Rajavi similarity, contrast clearly with their remarks shown up or said in highly classified inter-organizational documents. In other words, what you and outside world leader hear from the leadership of MKO does not fit what they present inside their cult. Furthermore, their idea of dominating and leading the world expressed daily in all internal meeting, is one that you and other world politician can never hear.
The Leaders of MKO cult know very well (unlike Taliban and Al-Qaida leader), the need to choose the most beautiful humanitarian words in order to penetrate and perhaps dominate global opinion poll and consequently get acceptance by modern world’s political system as main opposition or alternative to their suppressive totalitarian partners of Islamic Republic of Iran. As an example, despite their effort to claim a humanitarian face for their organization that stand for equal rights for women’s and minorities in Western world, they have been imposing the most difficult pressure on Mujahed women internally, including, one of the most awful form of Gender Separation within their campus in Iraq. Consequently, as part of their policy of policy of gender separation, even gas station and water treatment plants are both divided by male and female section, not to mention that women hospitals are completely separated from men’s hospital. Furthermore, MKO has also restricted walking in public places including campus’ park, museum and even the cemetery to certain hours for women and separately for men to avoid any cross gender contact, perhaps a step farther than Taliban in gender separation. Of course, Massoud Rajavi officially stated (on September 11, 2001) that if al-Qaida with its fundamentalist Islam can do such an act (September 11th Tragedy), we can do much bigger acts with our revolutionary Islam. apparently such a gender separation is one of his achievement!! And of course, I have no doubt he will pursue his idea of forming a haram of all Mujahed women whether he will able to rise to power. From the perspective of Massoud Rajavi, all the women are just her confidante and must be separated from their families. This was exactly his hypothesis that we were told when in Ashraf Campus.
Dear Ms. Clinton,
The leaders of MKO cult has been already following the policy of disintegration of families to gain full control on their members and perhaps could be more dangerous than Taliban or Iranian Suppressive government whether they could rise to power. As a proof of my statement, the doors of "Ashraf Campus" in Iraq has been closed to the families who come from all over the world to visit their loved ones for very long time and MKO leader forbid the basic visitation right for its members’ family. Even though, I am a living example, spending 22 years in "Ashraf Campus" since my teen years and forbidden to contact any family member, I think, I rather give you another example to show the depth of this tragedy. A clear example is "Maryam Babaii" a 22 years old girl whose father was captured by Sadam Hossein (during Iran Iraq war) just 3 month before Maryam’s birth. After spending some time in Iraqi prison and as part of deal between MKO and Sadam, which allow any Iranian POW joining MKO, Mr. Babaii joined MKO to avoid persecution by Iraq. Mr. Babaii is still in "Ashraf Campus" and was not allowed to contact his family. Two years ago, this young girl (Maryam) hears that his father is alive. During this period MKO leader did not allowed Mr. Babai even be aware of his family and daughter. Maryam thought his father was killed in the war … After hearing that her father is alive, Maryam and her Grandfather went to Iraq and demanded to meet her father however, MKO leadership deny such permission to Maryam and her grandfather to meet Maryam’s father. It is now over two years that this innocent girl who has never seen her father, goes to "Ashraf Campus" shedding tears and looking forward to meet her father even for an hour, just to be rejected.
Dear Ms. Clinton,
You are a mother yourself and I am sure you understand the feeling of this young girl (Maryam) and her old grandfather to meet the father of this young girl. Why MKO leaders panic to allow a father that after 22 years still have not seen her daughter, reunite even for an hour with his family? The truth is that, Rajavi and MKO leader trying to keep absolute control over their members by separating them from their family; Consequently, getting undivided loyalty and attention. At the same time, in Europe, Maryam Rajavi, is trying to claim a humanitarian face for her MKO cult while denying a young girl to meet her father. Why they are so scare of meeting a young girl with her father?
Dear Ms. Clinton,
The leader of this dangerous religious sect (MKO Leaders) have been taking hostage thousands of men and women in "Ashraf camp" with several tricks that as a former member, I am well aware. They are trying to portray such a determination and will of their own to live in Ashraf campus but this is not simply true. They use very complex tricks in order to keep the members there. Again, as a former member who has spent over 22 years in Ashraf Campus, I understand and well aware of the tricks this notorious organization is using and I am willing to testify in any court what facilities and Tricks they have been applying to force their members avoiding expression of their real thought or escape freely from this imposed prison. Recently, they have been taking even more extensive protective measures so no one can escape this prison called Ashraf Campus according to few former members who managed to escape.
Dear Ms. Clinton,
As a former member of the MKO who managed to escape from this cult, considering your power and capabilty, and for the sake of humanity, I would like to request:
1 – To help so the representatives of international organizations and human rights meet members of MKO group in a neutral and risk free environment outside Ashraf Campus and without presence of the representative of MKO with all MKO members and ask their true opinion.
2 – to pressure the leaders of this cult to allow families to visit their loved one in a neutral and friendly environment and stop playing with their members emotion. And to pressure them to stand for basic human rights of their members and their family, and maintain open communication and be informed of world news.
3 – to pressure these cult leaders to allow the basic right of access to Internet and free world so these members can freely exchange email, call or opinion with their families and friends.
Unfortunately in the last 25 years none of Mujahedeen members have been able to access any phone, internet magazines or newspaper. In the garrison that they call it a "City", unfortunately, no one is allowed to have a cellular phone or even access to any magazine or newspaper. It is a humanitarian disaster that majority of MKO members in Ashraf except the very small number of trusted even don’t know how to use Internet or mobile phone. Having say that, these members need your immediate humanitarian assistance to escape this mental and physical prison called "Ashraf Campus".
Appreciate your humanitarian efforts is greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Hamed Sarrafpour

Statement of Massoud Tayebi, the dissociated Vice President of the Army Staff Headquarters and a member of the Central Council of the Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (aka MKO, PMOI, NCRI, Rajavi’s cult, MEK…).
At the time I chose to leave the Mujahedin Organization, I, Massoud Tayebi, was a Vice President of the Army Staff Headquarters and member of the Central Council of the Mujahedin. I also held a high position in the Organizational MO, which is a rank for males only. I have more than twenty years of Organizational activity and work experience with the Mujahedin Organization.
After two decades of active political life with the Mujahedin, I managed to escape the Mujahedin’s base in Iraq, and at present I am living in Europe as a political refugee.
I started my political activity with the Mujahedin in 1978. In 1981 I was arrested and spent one year in Evin’ and Ghezelhesar’ prisons in Tehran. After my release, I continued my political activities with the Mujahedin. The government discovered my activity and one night armed personnel attacked my residence. I escaped the attack and for six months lived underground in the city of Mashhad. In 1984, I was helped to flee Iran by the Kurdish Democratic Party and to join the Mujahedin’s bases in Kurdistan in the north of Iraq.
From then until 2001 I worked in the Mujahedin performing various duties, including with the publicity department. In 1991, I was appointed as a member of the Central Council of the Mujahedin Organization. My name and identity is registered in the Mujahed Publication (Special Edition) of 1991 which is available as evidence.
In 1994, I went to Paris with Maryam Rajavi, returning to Iraq again in .1996. In 1999, in recognition of my 20 years of professional political and organizational activity with the Mujahedin I was appointed as a Vice President of the Army Staff Headquarters. My picture is printed in Mujahed publication No. 562 year 2000. My latest duties in the Mujahedin were to produce and anchor the propaganda program on the 24 hour satellite program of the National Liberation Army of Iran. I have a video recording in which I am performing as broadcaster in accordance with my long relationship with the Mujahedin and also my experience in camera work, I was present in a meeting during which some individuals who were not in agreement with the Mujahedin’s political policy, expressed their desire to leave the organization. Unfortunately, as a result, they were subjected to an unfair trial. This trial was organized and directed by the leader of the Mujahedin, Massoud Rajavi. There was neither a defense lawyer nor a jury in this trial.
I realized how cruel and unfair the Mujahed in really are by holding such trial. This made me think and, after 23 years of serving this Organization, I decided to disassociate myself from the Mujahedin. I hold it necessary to notify others of my disassociation with the Mujahedin Organization through this announcement.

A delegation of MKO former members met with authorities of Amnesty International. During the 
meeting they described and clarified the situation of picketing families of Rajavis’ Cult hostages at Camp New Iraq (formerly Ashraf ) as well as the condition and situation of captive members of the MKO Cult. They also declared the families’ rightful demands of visiting with their loved ones. They asked the Amnesty international to intervene and force the MKO aka PMOI/MEK/MKO leadership to allow those families to see and meet their loved ones.

Honorable and distinguished President of Amnesty International in France Madam. Genevieve Garrigos,
As you are well informed through many revelations which have been accomplished by many freed and rescued former members of pmoi (Rajavi’s cult) in recent months , since eight months ago many desperate elderly people who are the family of some of those captivated members inside the military garrison ,so called Ashraf base located in Diyali province ,the township of khalis, have been picketing to show their complaint and protest against the pmoi’s leadership and operatives who do not allow them to meet their loved ones in Ashraf which is one of the preliminary rights of any human being. Those mentioned families have been badly threated by the operatives of pmoi whom in many occasions have passed and violated the red line of human rights charter. I would like to draw your attention to some of those violations which are as follows:
The pmoi operatives have slandered and accused those honorable families ,who are mostly elderly people, by bringing some of their brainwashed members to swear and curse those families .
The high ranking members of this cult have attacked those families in the groups of 40-50 and in one occasion one of the woman commanders with the name of Hengameh Haji Hassan attacked those families with a sharp cold arms to harm them but fortunately her vicious and violent act was thwarted by Iraqi police who were present at the scene.
The pmoi leadership have forced and coerced some of their brainwashed members to participate in pmoi TV program so called Simayeh Azadi to swear and accuse those elderly people whom are their relatives. If those chosen miserable members refuse their leadership orders , they will be badly punished and pestered by the operatives of pmoi.
The tough security measures have been carried out inside Ashraf garrison by the direct order of pmoi leadership based in France specially after the escape of 6 members from Ashraf garrison. Two of those escapes have occurred recently , but two other escape attempts were failed and they got arrested and beaten up by the operatives of pmoi.
The people who succeeded to escape mentioned that the leadership of pmoi has intimidated all the members of being tortured and killed by those elderly families and Iraqi police if they try to escape from Ashraf garrison .
The pmoi leadership has mentioned and pointed out that the Iraqi government does not allow those families to meet with their loved ones but this statement is completely untruth and is a big lie which pmoi leadership by telling it wants to cover the real reason .
We are former member of pmoi and human rights activist urging and entreating all human rights organizations specially Red cross organization and Amnesty international to step forward and intervene in this humanitarian incident and force pmoi leadership to allow those families to see and meet their loved ones whom have been deprived of having any sentiment and love to their families because of tough and vicious cultic regulations and policy for a long period of time.
Best Regards

Dear Mrs. Hillary, Honorable Secretary of State
Respectfully, I would like to introduce myself before anything else. I am an ex member of Mojahedin Khalq Organisation (MKO). In 1990 I became an outspoken critic of what is know as the "forced divorces" and special relations between the organisation and Saddam Hussein, the ousted dictator of Iraq. I was imprisoned for a few months in solitary confinement inside camps of Mojahedin Khalq Organisation in Iraq. I am living in Switzerland now.
I would like to inform your Excellency that the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran was founded in 1965. Its ideology is a combination of Marxism and Islam.Their ideology is based on fighting against capitalism and they believe that the United States of America is the symbol of global capitalism and they call the USA ‘the World-Eater Imperialism’. Their ideological principle and objective is based on fighting against the United States and its interests, and in this regard they have written and published many books such as, The Carter Presidency (World Eater Imperialism). With such an ideology and approach which exists in the Mojahedin, they began their terrorist operations against American citizens and American offices located in Iran in 1971.
As a result of the terrorist operation which happened in 9/11 in the USA, every country became 
astonished and confused at such brutal and barbaric acts, which targeted thousands innocent people in the twin towers, and all these countries and their governments condemned such brutality and savagery. But, surprisingly the PMOI’s operatives and leaders threw a very big party in Bagherzadeh Garrison in Iraq and celebrated that incident and showed their admiration for that terrorist act by dancing, shouting and congratulating one another in front of their leaders, Massoud and Maryam Rajavi.
Massoud Rajavi was on the stage and while he had his hands on his waist he began a war cry against the USA, and in his admiration for Osama Ben Laden and his organization, Al Qaeda, he said, ”This was fanatical Islam which trembled and shacked the basis of US Imperialism and they destroyed the twin towers which were the symbol of their power, and successfully reduced it to rubble through their successful mission”. Then he (Massoud Rajavi) with a smile on his face continued his war cry and said, ”What will happen to the USA if revolutionary Islam with our Ideology and Maryam’s leadership comes to power, then this paper tiger (the USA) will be destroyed as a whole.”
After the downfall of Saddam Hussein, all the PMOI members underwent various interviews for recognition of their identification by the US State Department’s agents, the CIA, FBI, and specifically US Military Information section MI. They gained a huge amount of very valuable information from the PMOI members – all of which documents and information substantiate and prove that the ideology and the strategy of the PMOI are all anti-western, and particularly anti USA.
The US State Department has justly listed the PMOI and its political wing the National Council of Resistance (NCRI) as a terrorist organization in its terrorist list. While the State Department listed them as a terrorist organization, it did not have the valuable information which it now has now. In a report that was published in 2005 by the US State Department regarding the terrorist organization list, it mentioned justly that the PMOI is a potential threat and is a very dangerous terrorist organization. In that report it was mentioned that the PMOI has the potential to become a dangerous organization in any period of time because of their special terrorist training and cohesive organizational structure. For instance, on 17th of June 2003 when Maryam Rajavi was arrested by French Police, PMOI leaders ordered their members to set themselves on fire in public streets. If there was no complaint and protest from the international bodies and humanitarian organizations against this kind of brutality and savagery, it was still going to become one of the biggest of human catastrophes.
I must stress that even though the State Department reports of 2005 and 2006 are not complete, that the report shows that this organization is a religious cult.We think the MKO in Iraq is finished, especially after the fall of Saddam Hussein and his government. The Iraqi Government wants to assert its sovereignty, regain its property, the garrison, and they do not want to keep those people on their soil who cooperated fully with Saddam Hussein against their people. So now we should ask ‘why do the leaders of a cult terrorist organization want to keep the Ashraf,s garrison?
We have enclosed a small sample of the evidence which has already been made public concerning the MKO. The charges against the MKO and in particular its leaders include but are not limited to: crimes against humanity and war crimes inside and outside Iran.
With many thanks and regards

Mr. Alireza Einakian could manage to run away from Camp Ashraf after midnight of September 7th 2010. His escape was successful due to his courageous innovate plan. The following is the interview with Mr. Einakian by Sahar Family Foundation:
SFF: now that you could release from Camp Ashraf, how do you feel?
Mr. Einakian : Before my escape, I had no idea of Iraqis organized procedure. I just wanted to get rid of Ashraf in any way. Because of MKO’s propaganda about the outside world, everyone hesitated to leave the camp. For example, they said that the hotel – where I stay now- is the center of corruption. When I first came here, I expected to see what the organization’s leader had told us, but I was surprised to see that nothing was so as what they had said. I was not willing to visit the agents of Sahar Family foundation because in the organization, they had demonized it a lot, but then I found out that all of that false propaganda was opposite to what I saw with you. When you first introduced yourself, I was really shocked but I believed your honesty after I listened to you. First I decided to use a false name, then I said to myself that living with lie is enough.
The organizations propaganda on SFF has caused the members to panic even the name of this foundation.
During the twenty-five years of my life in Ashraf I really remained retarded of normal life. It is impossible to compensate.
SFF: Didn’t you have an organizational marriage during your membership in MKO? What do you think of marriage and having a family? Why does MKO oppose to marriage?
Mr. Einakian : No. I didn’t get married even organizationally but I would like to have a family. I think God has created men with this instinct and marriage is not contradictory to religion, morality and etiquette and it is highly recommended. If there was a problem with marriage, prophets would never get married.
The organization claims that obligatory divorces are along with [the regime’s] overthrow and it will release the members’ energy. But in fact not only their energy wasn’t released, but also their minds got more involved in sexual issues. Later they claimed that forced divorce was executed to liberate men and women. They said that was for your whole life and you would not marry again even after the overthrow. Actually we were all busy working too hard and we didn’t realize how Rajavi tricked us in to his malicious goals.
SFF: What motive caused you escape the organization?
Mr. Einakian: In fact my main disagreement with MKO was "forced divorce". I had no deep, internal faith in it. I wondered how a man (Rajavi) had absolute power over others. I couldn’t tolerate the officials humiliating and insulting me anymore. They verbally abused members in their meetings but all facilities are in their hands. The low-ranking members ought to labor very hard. The internet was only used by high-ranking female members because Rajavi didn’t trust male members.
I know it’s too late to compensate but I try to convince myself that I have time to live but I know I have lost a lot of opportunities and I consider Massoud Rajavi as the only responsible for my current situation. If I had known what was going to happen in MKO, I would have never joined it. Under the rule of Rajavi, you could only experience pressure and tension. So I decided to end the issue. I asked myself why I don’t live in freedom for the rest of my life; why I should waist my life in MKO.
Today a new topic is being discussed in MKO:"Eradication of sexual issues". It means that you should confess anything you think of. Primarily you shouldn’t think of sexuality but if it crosses your mind, you should report it in the meeting. I was always worried about those meetings, my mind was all the time involved with such problems. I always asked:"Oh God! When will the meetings finish?"
All those numerous meetings had no benefit, no result. I concluded that I had to escape Ashraf and finally I succeeded to run away.
SFF: How is the relationship of UN authorities in Iraq (UNAMI) with MKO?
Mr. Einakian : This was a confidential issue and ordinary members had no idea of such relationship. In case of any visit with the authorities, the group’s leaders would let us know by a brief report. This would happen occasionally not as a routine job.
The organization tells UNAMI that the members are afraid of their coming to Ashraf and in this way the commandants prevent UNAMI’s access to rank and file members. I think that UNAMI officials should contact MKO’s low-ranking member outside Camp Ashraf so the members feel comfortable to talk to them.
Once UNAMI had installed a station in Camp Ashraf, MKO had also installed an inspection station in order to stop members going to UNAMI station. Today UNAMI has no office in Ashraf.
I suppose that the presence of UNAMI officials in Camp Ashraf cannot solve the problems since the members are not able to talk to them in a free atmosphere. The commandants have been ordered to monitor those who are problematic (or as they call) "weak circles". The visit should be held outside the camp and without the presence of MKO authorities.

Open letter to Secretary of State Mrs. Hilary Clinton
From Mr. Ali Ghashghavi, Iran Green Association, Germany, October
Dear Secretary of State,
I would like to introduce myself and give you a brief history of my experience with the Mojahedin
Khalq and their conduct in Iraq during the time I was a member. I have been treated with Dark Age kinds of torture and inhuman conduct on the direct order of the leadership of Mojahedin Khalq (MKO, MEK, Rajavi cult) only because I rejected the training and execution of terrorist activities. I was brought to their so called courts, forced to sign and confess to whatever they asked me and was sentenced to death. Subsequently I was sent to Abu Ghraib prison of Saddam along side other disaffected members of Mojahedin Khalq to serve long sentences. This is the time that Saddam was under pressure by the US government as well as much of the international community. With the fall of Saddam the benefactor of Massoud Rajavi leader of Mojahedin Khalq, I managed to free myself and now live in Germany.
I am writing this letter only to remind your good self of the situation of the people who are still trapped in this organisation. Now, years after the fall of Saddam, many of the captives inside this organisation are still trapped and have not achieved their basic human rights. The silence of the international community and the open hand given to this terrorist religious cult within the western lobbies including in your country US, has encouraged the group to increase its abuse of human rights and continue its spread of terrorism and hatred in free societies.
This way of life has been continuing for the last two decades in the closed camp in Iraq. A way of life which is more like an exercise of deliberate hostility toward the modern world and a way which is dreaming using the cult and cultish experiences to gain power over the civilised Iranian society. A dream obviously doomed to fail. After losing all credibility amongst Iranians over the last few decades, the cult is now trying to portray a picture of political opposition for itself by taking the internal critics as hostages.
After the September 11 disaster, the group celebrated the event and distributed candy etc in the presence of their leader Massoud Rajavi. They broadcasted every song and march they had for the celebration of the assassination of the American servicemen who they had killed in previous years in Iran. They clearly showed how distanced their way of thinking is compared with the normal social feelings of normal people in free societies.
Considering the backward mentality of terrorists who can even cheer for terrorist acts against innocent people, it seems that helping people to free themselves from Mojahedin Khalq terrorist organisation is a necessity.
Mojahedin try to hide their true face under the disguise of made up human rights names and groups so that they can stay in Iraq with the hope of one day starting their terror campaign again. They are also trying their best to come off the list of terrorists in US for the same purpose. The history of Mojahedin Khalq and the way they are treating the families of their victims inside their camp in Iraq clearly shows their vast differences with normal people. They are clearly demonstrating their true belief that “you are either with us or against us”
It is good to see that the State Department has included the name of National Council of Resistance (NCRI) in the list of terrorists as a another name for Mojahedin Khalq but we believe that there should be less tolerance of this organisation and certainly more help to free the ones who do not wish to continue working for this terrorist organisation.
The families of the victims of this terrorist cult, some of them have not seen their loved ones for the last two decades, are now picketing in front of the camp for the last few months demanding visiting rights to their loved ones. But the Mojahedin cult not only deny any proper response to their demands and questions, they are now clearly using the captive dissidents inside the camp as hostages to their goals.
Today everyone knows that the presence of Mojahedin Khalq and using them as a tool in political games not only has no benefit to the people of Iran[…]
Your sincerely,
