Hajar Yaqubi

My dear Hajar,
I am your brother, Seyed Mohammad. You know well that you were not into politics at all; you were coerced to join the Mujahedin Khalq. I came to Camp Ashraf and Camp Liberty, Iraq, but the MEK leaders did not allow us to visit you because Rajavi hates family relationships and emotions.
We miss you and we wish you were here with us but unfortunately, your fate turned out differently and separated you from us. Have you ever asked yourself why you have never been allowed to visit or call us? What have you achieved during these years of the so-called struggle? Believe me! Rajavi has told you so many lies in order to take advantage of you as slaves.

My beloved sister,
Believe me! You can change your life any time. I am aware of the restrictions imposed on you in the Cult of Rajavi but believe me that they are just lies. You should think of yourself. You can leave the MEK just as other defectors did so and then you will find out that life is not what the Rajavis dictate to you. Life is beautiful.

My dear Hajar,
I assure you that I will not stop taking actions to release you from the MEK and I am sure that you will make your mind to leave the group someday. I hope that I see that very day.

Yours,
Seyed Mohammad Yaqubi
Neka, Mazandaran, Iran

Mohammad Yaqubi ; the brother Hajar Yaqubi hostage at the MEK Camp in Albania

Hajar Yaqubi was never a political person but she has been in the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO/ MEK/ PMOI/ Cult of Rajavi) for near four decades. “She fell in the trap of the MEK just because her husband was a sympathizer of the group,” Mohammad Yaqubi, Hajar’s brother says.

Hajar is from Neka, Mazandaran, Iran but she has not seen her hometown for forty years. “Our village has become modern and more beautiful than the past,” Mohammad says. “I know that my sister has no access to the Internet otherwise she would be able to see its pictures on the net.”

Mohammad sends open letters addressing his sister, to Nejat Society, from time to time. “Whenever I look at the photos of you, I wonder what I should do to be able to meet you,” Mohammad writes to Hajar in his last message published on the website of Nejat Society.

Hajar’s brother has taken various actions in order to visit his beloved sister. He traveled to Iraq several times when the MEK was located there. Mohammad picketed in front of the gates of Camp Ashraf and Camp Liberty holding a placard with the name of his siter on it, calling her to leave the MEK and get back to the family.
Mohammad Yaqubi has also written several letters to the international human rights bodies and the Albanian authorities calling for their aid to families of those who are taken as hostages by the leaders of the MEK.

“The Rajavis are terrified of a meeting between me and you,” Mohammad writes to Hajar in his recent open letter. “They are terrified that you get aware of what is going on around you and you leave the group.”

He continues, “My lovely sister! I know that you think of us in your privacy and this would be a good turning point for you to get determined to leave the group and begin a new life. Please contact us. Hearing your voice will be so cheering for me and the family.”
