Roghayeh Farazian, mother of Fereidoon Nedayee attended the sit-in of families of Nejat Society in front of the office of the International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC) in Tehran.
She has been looking forward to visiting her son for about 4 decades. The years of separation from her beloved son has left her with grieves and pains. Fereidoon was taken as a war prisoner by Iraqi forces when he was a soldier of the Iranian army fighting in Iran-Iraq war.
The MEK recruiters deceived him to join the group, and this was the start of a long-term break-up from his family. Roghayeh Farazian’s cries for help in front of the ICRC office is very distressing.
Fereydoon Nedayee
Ms. Roqayeh Farazian, mother of Fereydoun Nedayee, a member of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK, MKO, Rajavi Cult) in Albania, who has been separated from her son for 42 years and is waiting to see him, wrote a letter to Mr. Karim Khan, the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, requesting that the case of the complaint of the former members against the leaders of the MEK be dealt with as soon as possible.
In her detailed letter, she describes how her son was captured in the Iran-Iraq war and then how he was deceived by the MEK. She also writes about her sufferings for more than 4 decades without knowing about her son.
The letter reads: “For many years, we have been sadly deprived of any contact with our loved ones due to the inhumane and cruel policies of the leaders of the terrorist MEK. Many families have lost their loved ones due to the crimes of this organization. Since the philosophy of existence of the International Criminal Court is to punish the perpetrators of such international crimes, and the actions of the leaders of this organization have been against both members and innocent citizens in Iran and Iraq, I request that the complaints of former members of the MEK be investigated. I urge you to take actions against the leaders of this organization as soon as possible and take appropriate measures to conduct independent and legal investigations and inspections in order to bring to justice and punish the perpetrators of these crimes”.
Ms. Roghayeh Farazian Fard Kohan, the mother of Fereydoun Nedaee, a member of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK, MKO, Rajavi Cult), said at the nationwide online conference of the Nejat Society held on August 2021:
In the name of God. I am Roghayeh Farazian Fard Kohan, the mother of Fereydoun Nedaee. Hello Deare Fereydoun. I am your mother. I have been waiting for a long time. Every day, every hour and every minute, I am waiting for the news to hear whether Fereydoun is coming or not. Does he call or does he not? I would like to know about your health. I have not heard from you for a long time. You were a prisoner of war. You always wrote in your letter that you would like to see us lively when you come. I would like you to come now and see how lively I am!
I am waiting. I am waiting for you as long as I live, as long as my soul is in my body. Why did you take refuge with them? Why did you believe their fabricated lies? They said that the resolution was accepted, but a year has passed and they have not let you go. You have not been returned to Iran. We will bring you back. They deceived you and took you away and brainwashed you.
Why did you become a refugee in this group? This group is ignorant of God. This group does not care about you. They only seek their own power. My Fereydoun. Please. If you do not want to come to Iran, you could go somewhere else. You said that you do want to come to Iran. You loved Iran. Why don’t you ever think about us? I do not know what you think. Do you think that if you come back to us, we will reject you? You are our child. You are my eldest child.
Your two brothers and relatives are waiting for you. They want you. They like to be with you. You do not know, dear Fereydoun, that your father and your brothers and I have been waiting for you for years. We are waiting for your visit. We are waiting for you to at least make a phone call and we would be aware of your health. This damn group would not let you keep in touch with your family. It is inhumane and a sin to God. This group incites you against us and washes your brain against us. Your parents love you and your brothers love you. They want you back.
My mind does take all these. Dear Fereydoun. I love you so much. I longed for you, that you would get married. Have children and see your children and I will have grandchildren. But unfortunately, you killed this wish in my heart. You have aged yourself. You crushed me. You destroyed me. Isn’t that enough for you? I do not know how much this Maryam Rajavi means to you? You always used to curse them. You did not accept them. Why did you go there and stayed so long? What did they do to you? What did we do to you when you left us? I have been waiting for you for years. How many times I came to Iraq during your captivity and I got sick, and how sick I was in Tehran. As soon as I recovered, I returned to Iraq to see you and I sent you messages. But unfortunately, I saw obscenities and stone-throwing and many other things. Now I do not know which about you. Unfortunately, you have left us in a state of unhappiness and anxiety.
I ask you, and I just ask God that you return from that group. It’s not too late. Return from that group. Come to your family. If you do not like your family, you can go to other countries. Go to your aunts. Your aunts accept you. Your family will accept you too.
Nothing calms me down. I liked music very much. The music really calmed me down when you were captured. But now music does not give me peace. You have to come to yourself. You must go to a place where you could think about your life. Think about your future. Why don’t you think about your future? You ruined your life in this group. Maryam Rajavi has not care for you. He is working for his own ruling, which I hope will never happens and she will be destroyed.
P.S. Mr. Nedaee, the late father of Fereydoun Nedaee, has passed away now.
Fereydoon Nedayee is a member of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO/ MEK/ PMOI/ the Cult of Rajavi). He is now residing in the group’s camp in Albania.
Fereydoon is not an original member of the MEK. In fact, he was recruited by the group’s agents in Iraqi prisons where Fereydoon was kept as a war prisoner of the Iran-Iraq war.
In 1980, Fereydoon was an Iranian soldier fighting in Iran-Iraq war. Very soon he was taken as a war prisoner by Iraqi forces. He endured the miseries in Iraqi POW camps for eight years. In 1988, the two countries agreed a ceasefire but it took them almost two years to exchange the war prisoners.
The time was enough for the MEK recruiters to launch a propaganda campaign in POW camps among Iranian soldiers in order to convince them to join their group. They promised them better life conditions in Camp Ashraf rather than the ones of Iraqi camps and also opportunities to immigrate to Europe.
Fereydoon and some other Iranian POWs were finally deceived by the MEK authorities so as they fell in the new trap that they have not been able to get released from, for over thirty years. Evidently, His parents have not seen Fereydoon for over forty years.
His father, MohammadReza Nedayee passed away a few days ago. His mother, Roghaieh Farazian is still trying her best to contact her son. They traveled to Camp Ashraf, Iraq several times but they were not allowed by the MEK leaders to visit their loved son.
After the group’s relocation to Albania, the Albanian government did not offer visa to families of the MEK members so they could not travel there. Instead, they took legal actions by writing letters to Albanian authorities and to the international bodies asking for humanitarian aids to help them contact and visit their children in the MEK isolated camp in Albania.
Ms. Roghayeh Farazian Fard Kohan, the mother of Fereydoun Nedayi, a member of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK) in Albania, has written and sent a letter to the Albanian Prime Minister, who is in charge of the MEK in Albania, about obstacles to contact with her son.
The text of the letter is as follows:
Mr. Edi Rama
Honorable Prime Minister of the Republic of Albania
With respect
I am Roghayeh Farazian Fard Kohan, the elderly mother of Fereydoun Nedayi. My son went to military services in the army in Iran in 1979 and was captured by Iraqi forces on the battlefield in 1980. He was held captive in Iraqi POW camps for eight years. In 1988, a ceasefire was established between Iran and Iraq, but the Iraqi government refused to return prisoners of war. A year later, in 1989, the situation in the POW camp was deliberately worsened, and then the MEK entered and talked to the POWs and took some of them to Camp Ashraf with the promise of sending them to Europe. They were unaware that they would experience captivity in a different way.
After the fall of Saddam Hussein in Iraq, I approached to Camp Ashraf many times and begged to meet with my son, but unfortunately, the MEK officials not only prevented me to visit my son, but greeted me with insults and stones.
I was happy after my son moved to Albania because I thought he would definitely be able to call me there. But then it became clear that members of the MEK were not allowed to communicate with their families there either.
I am a mother and I have the right to know the status of my son. I am extremely concerned about my son’s health, given the fact of spreading coronavirus disease and the death of a number of MEK members in the organization’s camp in Albania. Does my son’s phone call to his family hurt anyone? If Fereydoun’s elderly mother supposedly travels to Albania and meet with her son, will there be a breakdown in their task?
Mr. Edi Rama
You definitely have a family too. Can you be unaware of your children for so many years? I have not seen my son since 1980 and I have no news about his condition. Is forty years of separation and ignorance really a mother’s right? How long should I wait?
Fereydoun’s father has been bedridden for a long time now and is not in good condition. He only wants to call his son and asks me about Fereydoun every day, but I have no answer to give him. As a humanitarian action, I urge you to remove the barriers to communication with my son.
Thank you in advance for your efforts
Roghayeh Farazian Fard Kohan
