News received from within Camp Liberty, base of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO, MeK, Rajavi cult) forces in Iraq, indicates that the MKO is training its members to make Molotov Cocktails and that subsequently some of these hand make bombs have been produced and stored underneath their residential containers.
The individuals are briefed that there is a danger that Iranian forces will attack the base under the cover of the families of the residents. Therefore they must be ready to defend themselves. Thus the members of the MKO have been mentally prepared to violently oppose the families.
The truth is that the Rajavi cult was alarmed when some families of members trapped in Camp Liberty approached the camp to visit their loved ones and that is why they react like this. Rajavi, like any other cult leader, considers the families as the major threat to its mind manipulation techniques and control over the members.
When the families’ showed their presence at the gates of Camp Liberty, the Rajavi cult started its widespread propaganda against them as though they are organized armed forces who have planned to attack the base and abolish it! This is while the families, who are all empty-handed and without any propaganda tools, approached the camp to hear from their loved ones.
Sahar Family Foundation, which was aware of the families visit to Iraq beforehand, kept its promise to the Iraqi and UN officials by not mentioning anything publicly and kept a low profile in order not to give the MKO leaders any excuses. But the MKO announced the news with extreme propaganda and fabricated lies since it had no intention of allowing the families to visit their loved ones quietly, and made up excuses that there are conspiracies against the camp by the Iranian regime.
Everyone remembers that in the past the families were stationed outside the gates of Ashraf Garrison for about 4 years where they peacefully demanded to visit their relatives. In return the MKO members, indoctrinated by the cult leaders, pelted them with stones and metal pieces which cut their arms and heads and called them all kinds of names and accused them of being the spies of the Iranian regime. But the families patiently tolerated the situation and simply repeated their demands of the leaders peacefully that they just want to know about their loved ones.
The Rajavi cult claimed in the past that they would allow the families to visit their relatives provided it takes place inside the camp with the presence of the MKO officials. The families accepted this condition, but the cult leaders, who are frightened of any contact of their followers with the outside world, in particular with their relatives, broke their promises and did not allow any visits.
Massoud Rajavi, like all cult leaders, considers the presence of the families outside the camp as a threat to his cult and like all dictators is against any information reaching the followers.
There is also another fact that some considerable numbers of members are old or sick or discontented and are not of any use to the cult. If they are dismissed or they defect in large numbers there would be a political damage to the organization. Therefore the best option for Rajavi is to get them killed as he planned in the past in the Ashraf Garrison in order to use them for propaganda purposes. In this way he would be able to kill two birds with one stone.
Rajavi is preparing his forces and arming them with Molotov Cocktails to wage battle against the Iraqis. He is using the excuse of the families’ presence at the camp gates in order for those who he considers no longer have any use for him to be killed.
Family in the Mujahedin-e Khalq
Mr. Ghorban Ali Hossein Nejad ,defector of MKO who was a veteran translator of the group leader has repeatedly asked the International Human Rights bodies to help his two daughters have a visit.
He has two daughters, one in Iran [Mona,33] and one in Camp Liberty [ Zeinab, 37]. The two sisters have not been able to see or have any contact with each other during their lifetime due to the enforced separation of families within the Cult of Mujahedin-e Khalq.
Mr. Hussennejad says even during his reside in MKO Camps he couldn’t manage to visit his daughter; Zeinab for twenty years.
Last week Mona Hussennejad for the second time traveled to Iraq, Camp Liberty to visit her dear sister. However the MKO leaders refused the visit because they fear Zeinab would defect the cult.
Mr. Dashtestani ;ex-member of the destructive cult of MKO who is now a member of NejatNGO Fars Province visited the families of MKO hostages of West Azarbayjan at the NejatNGO office.
He clarified the ways the families could help their beloved ones release themselves from the pawns of the cult.
Mr. Mahmoud Rahmani MKO former member joined his family after 27 years.
Mr. Mahmoud Rahmani who was a POW of Iran-Iraq war in 1987, was deceived into joining the Cult of Mujahedin-e Khalq .
Mr. Rahmani who was forced to stay with the group for 27 years, transferred to Albania from Temporary Transit Location, Iraq.
In Tirana far from the Cult boundaries and strict manipulation practices, Mr. Rahmani managed to release himself from the cult.
Now, he is with his family after about a quarter of a century. When he left his family, his son was a 3 year old child. Now he is a 30 year old married young man.
Within the mind manipulating cult of MKO, having contact with the family members both within and outside the Cult Camps is forbidden.
Hatred is one of the main tools of the Mujahedin Khalq destructive Cult’s leaders.
Spreading hatred among members, and between members and their families as well as between members and the world is a common practice and behavior in the MKO Cult.
In fact, the cult leaders do not primarily focus on hatred rather, through deceitful methods, propaganda, and misinformation they create an atmosphere among its members in which hatred toward anyone except the cult leader thrives virtually unchecked.
The manipulation and control in the cult is so strong that nobody can trust each other. Even the very close family members such as father and daughter or spouses distrust one another, having friendly relations is not allowed and considered taboo. The members are being brain washed and celibacy is forced upon them. In the cult, members are suspicious of each other.
Members are made by coercion or enticement to snitch on each other. They are encouraged to curse one another in brainwashing sessions so as to create abhorrence, animosity, and hostility among members.
The cult leaders try to empty members of all their humanity.
Ms. Nasrin Ebrahimi, former member of MKO Cult, while recalling his memoirs of the corruption of Massoud Rajavi as the cult leader states:” …As I said, Massoud Rajavi exploited women against men. In fact, women were Rajavi’s slaves who were misused to fight men this way he grew hatred between men and women in Ashraf.
Rajavi hides his true face behind women. He manipulates them to humiliate men; to make them work as hard as slaves…Rajavi made efforts to grow hate and animosity between men and women and in general among all members. He thought that growing hatred among members will lead all love and affection toward him.”
Massoud Rajavi as the cult leader considers the family ties poisonous for his cult of personality since he is completely aware of the power of family affection in comparison to that of cult-made affection towards him – as the cult leader, so as he has tried to cut cult followers from their family members both within and outside the cult.
Despite the MKO cult’s claims that the members have chosen their way willingly and that they are not eager to visit their families, still many first hand evidences of disassociated members of the cult as well as concrete evidences of human rights bodies prove that the members are under systematic mind manipulation. That is the fear from family members and the hatred is systematically cultivated in their minds.
The case of Mohammadi family who were deceived by the MKO in Canada is a worthwhile example. The Mohammadi family who were once supporters of the group have lost their daughter to the cult. They are still struggling to gain her release though. This is one example of many families who have lost their loved ones to this cult.
In a trip Mustafa had to Camp Ashraf as a supporter of the group, he realized that Somaye had made up her mind to return to her family in Canada. However since she didn’t have the citizenship, so she wrote a letter to the Canadian government and asked to help her get out of the Organization.
The father filmed that moments. Part of the letter reads:” I’m Somaye Mohammadi, Mostafa’s daughter. I ask that you aid my return to my former country, Canada as soon as possible. I was a political refugee in Canada for four years. I had even filled out my citizenship request form but I couldn’t get my citizenship before I came to Iraq and although I wanted to apply from here, I wasn’t able to , I don’t have my pass with me here and I wasn’t able to contact my family…..”
However, the next time her father went to Camp Ashraf on 6 May 2005 and the MKO conceded with the pressure of US forces that Mostafa see her daughter, many things had happened. Somaye was reluctant to see and talk to her father. She was repeating some same sentences with a frown on her face.
This was the last time Mostafa could see her daughter and talk to her. Batoul Soltani who was recently defected the group, told him about the sever supervision and control the organization put on Somaye. She was under sever mind control practices.
This is just a story among very many stories of families who have lost their beloved ones to the Cult of Rajavis. Those who have not been able to talk to their family members for decades.

To the Head of UNHCR
I am Azar Hossein Nejad from Tehran, Iran. I am contacting you to ask for your help regarding the situation of my sister, Zeinab Hossein Nejad, a 36 years old woman who is living in Camp Liberty in Baghdad, Iraq.
I never saw my parents or sister during my childhood and youth as all of them had to run for their lives. They left Iran along with many other members of People’s Mojahedin of Iran [Mojahedin-e-Khalq (PMOI also, MEK, MKO)] and had to leave me behind with my relatives because I was an infant at that time and it was not safe for me to be taken with them. My mother and uncles died in the operation of People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI) in 1988. However, my father (Ali Hossein Nejad) survived and was able to leave the Camp Liberty, after thirty years, with the help of the board of visitors of UN and UNHCR. He left the organization and is currently living in Paris, France.
It is well known that many of the current residents of the Camp Liberty are living there against their will and are highly influenced by the PMOI leaders who use all possible methods for brainwashing and preventing them from leaving the camp. I have tried many times to contact my sister in the Camp but with no success. I even wrote a letter to Mrs. Maryam Rajavi (Current leader of the PMOI) and begged her to let me talk to my sister over the phone, at least once, but have not received any response yet.
So far I have never been able to see my sister in my life. I can’t stop thinking about her and I am so worried about her safety especially with the recent escalation of violence and clashes between ISIS and other forces in Iraq that can put the lives of Camp Liberty residents in danger.
My sister has never had the chance to freely choose where she wants to live and has been raised within an isolated and ideological group (PMOI) during all her life. As a result, she doesn’t have any idea about the life outside the camp and has never had the chance to live like a normal citizen.
I am very happy and thankful for recently accelerated the process of transferring residents of Camp Liberty.
As her sister, I would like to ask you to please please help her to leave the camp and enters into a third country as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Azar (Mona) Hossein Nejad

Mr. Haider al-Abadi, the Prime Minister of Iraq
Dear Sir,
With regards, the work of Sahar Family Foundation is to campaign for and support the families of individuals trapped in the Mojahedin Khalq Organization’s (MKO) Iraqi base, Camp Liberty, in their efforts to gain contact with and access to their loved ones.
Over a period of thirty years the MKO leader, Massoud Rajavi, has used his power as a cult leader to coerce his followers into breaking off all contact with their families unless they were willing to join the organization, pay money, or otherwise help the group.
Even since the group was disarmed and contained in one base, protected by American then Iraqi soldiers, the MKO leader still refuses to allow families to have normal contact. Even letters and phone calls are forbidden for the residents, most of whom are over the age of fifty-five, and many of whom are sick and ailing.
Massoud Rajavi understands that familial love is stronger than the coercive control he imposes on the members and that once families have re-established contact there is a strong likelihood that the member will leave him. As a cult leader he calls families ‘poison’ with good reason, though with little finesse.
It is in this context that we can examine an article published by the MKO website, Iran Focus, on November 28, 2014 which claims that “Iran plots to torture Camp Liberty refugees in Iraq”.
http://www.iranfocus.com/en/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=29937:iran-plots-to-torture-camp-liberty-refugees-in-iraq&catid=7&Itemid=112 The Iran Focus article claims: “In October, Tehran sent several well-known regime agents, including Ebrahim Khodabandeh, to meet the regime’s ambassador in Baghdad to pave the way for the offensive against Camp Liberty residents.”
The article comes after Ebrahim Khodabandeh met with Iraqi and international officials as well as the Iranian Ambassador in October on behalf of Sahar Family Foundation in order to promote the families’ efforts to find peaceful and effective solutions for removing the residents of Camp Liberty from Iraq as required by law. Khodabandeh had been a member of the MKO’s ‘International Relations’ department for 23 years before leaving the group. He now heads the families’ campaign to visit their loved ones inside Camp Liberty. This basic right is still denied by Rajavi in spite of pressure from the ICRC and UN as well as Iraq’s human rights ministry.
http://www.saharngo.com/en/story/1479
Massoud Rajavi’s extreme sensitivity to the presence of families outside the camp perimeter can be easily explained. Most residents who manage to escape the cult or who are transferred by the UNHCR to third countries prefer to establish contact with and return to their families rather than maintain membership of the MKO. The extreme threat which Rajavi feels from these ordinary families to the control he has over his cult members is therefore expressed in equally extreme terms, calling it “torture”.
Sahar Family Foundation believes that the denial of family contact must of course be extremely painful for the residents. But it is Rajavi who is solely responsible for this situation. It is he who, in his own words, is torturing the residents.
Reporting on his visit, Sahar website wrote, “Khodabandeh warned Iraqi officials of the threat Camp Liberty residents are exposed to. He emphasized the need to take serious action in order to prevent a human catastrophe in Camp Liberty where no one is responsible except Massoud Rajavi the leader of the MKO cult.”
Past experience shows that Rajavi, as any other destructive mind control cult leader, is frightened to death of allowing his followers to visit their families, and he is now trying to accuse everyone, including officials of the UN and ICRC as well as Ebrahim Khodabandeh, of plotting against him and his cult.
We wish to remind you and the government of Iraq and the International bodies working with Camp Liberty that a family visit is a fundamental right for the residents under international law and under no pretext, including those invented by Rajavi, should this right continue to be denied.
Regards
Sahar Family Foundation

The media
There are signs that Massoud Rajavi is beginning to panic about losing control of the residents of Camp Liberty. Plans made by the UN to remove these former MEK members from Iraq are accelerating, with 233 residents recently transferred to Albania despite Rajavi’s attempts to prevent the move. Shortly after this, Rajavi threatened to kill anyone who speaks publicly about what goes on inside the camp.
The announcement below, published by his site Iran Focus, is another indication that the imminent disintegration of Camp Liberty has sent Rajavi into a panic. His attempt to present genuine families, mostly elderly mothers and fathers or middle aged siblings of Camp Liberty residents, as “hired agents” (a claim easily disproved with a few checks), is not the real issue. The idea, however, that residents of the camp can be psychologically tortured by the presence of families – real or imagined – outside the camp’s perimeter is an indication of both their fragile state and Rajavi’s madness.
Following is the announcement of Massoud Rajavi through their site Iran Focus:
Iran plots to torture Camp Liberty refugees in Iraq
Iran is to send undercover agents to Camp Liberty disguised as family members of Iranian opposition movement, the People’s Mojahedin Organization (PMOI/MEK), in a smear campaign against the dissidents in Iraq, according to the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI).
The regime has tasked the Nejat Association, a branch of Ministry of Intelligence and Security, to dispatch agents to the camp in Iraq, the group said based on the information obtained from inside Iran.
In October, Tehran sent several well-known regime agents, including Ebrahim Khodabandeh, to meet the regime;s ambassador in Baghdad to pave the way for the offensive against Camp Liberty residents.
Reports published on MOIS websites on November 22 revealed that Iran’s embassy in Iraq had pledged to use all its resources in its drive to make contact with ‘captive members of the Rajavi sect[..]
IranInterlink from Iran focous,
Two former members of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization returned Iran
Mr. Shir Ahmad Ruzrokh and Ali Mohammad Khatami who had left the MKO camp in Iraq earlier could manage to return to their hometowns where they joined their families.
Shir Ahmad Ruzrokh was a war prisoner when he was deceived by the MKO to join it. Then he found out the bitter reality of the world inside the cult but he had no way out for 27 years.
Ali Mohammad Khatami was in MKO camps for 27 years too. He also was a soldier when he was taken as war prisoner by Iraqi forces in 1987. He then was recruited by Rajavi’s fraudulent propaganda team.
Nejat Society offices in Golestan and Khorasan Razavi held welcome meetings for these two defectors.
Ali Mohamad Khatami who joined his family in Nejat Society office in Mashhad was very happy to see his parents after years of separation.
“I’m sorry and at the same time very happy”, he said. “I’m really ashamed to see my mother and father for the grieves I made them suffer for years.”
Nejat Society congratulates Mr. Ruzrokh and Mr. Khatami for being back home nearby their beloved families. And hopes the release of other ex-comrades who are still held as hostages in the MKO camps.
Letter to António Guterres UNHCR from Nejat Society families of Yazd Province, Iran
Honorable António Guterres ,
We, the signatories to the following letter are the families whose beloved ones are captured in the Liberty Camp, Iraq. We would be pleased to inform the authorities of the United Nations of the following issues and pass on our previous calls for aid.
Removing the cultish and organizational limitations is regarded as the basis for the freedom of the captured members of the Mojahedin Khalq Organization of Iran in Iraq; An organization which according to the UNAMI has changed into a sect and established the dictatorial relations.
By imposing the mental and physical limitations and violating the basic rights of the Camp residents in Iraq and outside Iraq, the organization has disconnected the communication between the members and their families, not allowing them to think, make a decision about their own fate. And according to the report issued by UNAMI in early 2013, it is stated that:
UNAMI has continuing concerns about human rights abuses committed by the PMOI leadership against Camp Hurriyah residents. By its hierarchical and authoritarian structure ,the Organization imposes severe restrictions on the residents’ rights, including the right of freedom of movement within the Camp and the right to leave the organization, the free right of association, along with restrictions on contacts with family members (including those residing in Camp Hurriya), on access to basic communications, and on access to medical care and treatment.
Your Excellency
This is the request of elderly mothers and fathers who look forward to visit their children. Their hope in life is to see their beloveds once again.
Your Excellency
We are deeply concerned for the fate of our children. We are entitled to see our children and we are sorry that the international human rights bodies haven’t paid the least attention to us.
We totally support the evacuation of Camp Liberty and transfer of the residents from Iraq where they are under the threat because of terrorist attacks and sectarian conflicts. We support the Camp Liberty residents’ transfer to other countries, especially the ailing or injured ones and those who own the visa of the US and European Countries. We urge you to take action and confront the leaders of the organization who obstruct the process of relocation of camp Liberty residents. We entreat to accelerate their evacuation.
We, together with all other families all over Iran, ask the international organizations, especially the United Nations High Commissioner to encourage other countries to accept their admission and resettlement.
We greatly appreciate every effort you have already made in order to make the families aware of the fate of their children and families in the Liberty Camp.
Sincerely Yours,
