Former members of the MEK

Open Letter of over 50 ex members to Daily Caller

Dear editor of Daily Caller,

With regards, we are a group of members and officials and former commanders of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (MEK) from various sectors, including military, propaganda, foreign affairs and publications, we are residents of different European countries now.

Recently, an article was published in your site titled “TRUMP’S MAIDEN SPEECH TO THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL — A MODEST PROPOSAL”.

Since we are fully acquainted with the literature and culture of the organization, we assure you that this article was either written by them or just has been dictated to the author by MEK operatives base in the US and it is completely illusions and fake news for attracting attention and rating to this organization.

Today, MEK has become a cult, among the Iranian public, there is a negative view towards the MEK not only because of its policy, but more so because of its role in the post-revolution political assassinations and the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s and ultimately not only isolated by both Iranians inside and outside Iran and the Iranian movements and opposition figures but also according to many analysts and politicians, even the US Department of State Spokeswoman recently declared and acknowledge that MEK lacks any position among the Iranians and have no support in Iran what so ever.

we were members of this cult between ten to forty-five years with various responsibilities in different European countries, the United States and Iraq are well aware of the lies and deception and fake news which is the MEK routine practices for many years.

Among Mojahedin tricks and deceptions in Albania and other countries, are the scenarios of “lack of security and protections for their members” and their lives are at risk, so they could attract local support. (MEK known as Rajavi cult among Iranian).

We saw several examples of this type of trick in Iraq, including the time of Saddam Hussein regime, including imports mortars with the Islamic Republic of Iran’s logo from the Iraqi Kurdistan and firing them to our own base Camp Ashraf (the main headquarters of the Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization in Iraq), aimed at gaining more privileges from the Iraqi government by exploiting a few true attacks of the Iranian regime.

The claim that the Iranian regime’s intention to launch a terrorist attack on the headquarters of the MEK in Tirana, the capital of Albania, during the celebration of Nowruz, which appeared in this article published in your site, is completely false and fabricated, because there have not been any media reports what so ever, including the Albanian media, and there is no report on this issue by the Albanian government, and even the MEK itself has not published absolutely no news in any of its many fake site and media.

If such a threat were true, at first sight the Mujahideen should have issued a statement at the time, that is, seven months ago, but no such claim exists.

Other claims, including the intention to blow up the cult gathering in France and the intention to spy on MEK members in the United States, are completely false and funded by the MEK propaganda machine to attract attention and obtain privileges from the authorities of the respective countries and is an effort to keep the remaining members intact which in recent months and days many of them escaped from MEK camp in Tirana. These tricks and scenarios illustrate the isolation of the MEK and are out of desperation to be display and promotion in the media.

We emphasize that the Iranian regime feels no threat or any danger from this organization, which today is more and more in a state of collapse, but in the other hand, the presence of the MEK leaders and elements that have in the past assassinated many Iranian and US personals both before and after 1979 revolution, are and will be a great danger and a threat to the security of the European and United Stated, because the leader of this cult, Masoud Rajavi repeatedly threatened to kill and murder the defectors on the streets of Europe and the United States.

Sahar Adibzade
Former members of the MEK

Female defector officially declared her defection from the MKO

Sahar Adibzadeh denounced the Mujahedin Khalq Organization after she left the group’s camp in Iraq in 2015. She officially declared her defection from the group via Women Association Website on September 18th, 2018.

Sahar 39, was recruited by the MKO when she was in her 20s. “I was deceived by the group’s propaganda and trusted them,” she said.

She is now determined to launch her human rights activities in order to help release those who are still forced to stay in the Cult of Rajavi.

Adibzadeh has previously published parts of her memoirs of working with the group and living in its cult-like structure. However, she will appear on Mardom TV to publicly announce her defection from the cult. “Whoever who has defected the Cult of Rajavi should publicly denounce the group in order to stop any abuse by the side of the group,” she told Women Association.

She describes the suffocating atmosphere of Camp Ashraf as place where women are forced to wear uniforms with strict hijab; there are no children and all members are single. “I wondered why those women looked so sad!” Sahar said.

After experiencing the life inside Ashraf, the MKO collapsed in Sahar’s mind. “Gradually I found out that they had nothing to offer,” she added.

Five female members defected the Cult of Rajavi

Five female members of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO/ MEK/ PMOI/ the Cult of Rajavi) escaped the group, Iran Interlink reported.

According to the sources in Abania, Marzieh Qobadi, Sorour Salami, Sara Haftbaradaran, Raheleh Zabeti and Mozhgan Taghipour are the five women who could manage to leave the MKO despite the very sever supervision of the cult authorities.

During the past month the MKO authorities have been exposed by various news media for their cult-like undemocratic behavior against their own members. Particularly the case of Somayeh Mohammadi whose parents traveled to Albania calling for the visit of their daughter.

The British Channel Four TV also published a video report on the MKO’s “secretive camp” in Albania. The report demonstrates the isolated MKO camp in Albania where members are maintained under security guards.

Hasan Shahbaz
Former members of the MEK

We were slaves!

Hassan Shahbazi was a university student when he left Iran to visit his friend Hassan Heirani in Camp Ashraf, the headquarters of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO/ MEK/ PMOI/ the Cult of Rajavi) in Iraq.

In Ashraf, he was welcome by the authorities of the MKO. “They intrigued our nationalistic sentiments…so I decided to stay there but what I endured during the past years is not easy to recount now,” he writes in his letter of declaration of separation from the MKO.

Hasan Shahbaz

He was coerced to work as a forced labor. “Once I found myself in a discriminating system that claimed the classless society,” he asserts.

However he did not leave the MKO until the group was relocated in Tirana, Albania where the group members could have a very limited access to the outside world. “In the first days of our arrival in Albania, the organization let us visit the city in groups,” he writes. “I contacted my family and I learned that my family had come to Iraq to visit me but the group authorities had not let me know.”

Thus, the final stages of distrust started for Hassan Shahbaz. “The organization authorized itself to decide instead of us,” he suggests. “We were not allowed to contact our families. We had to hate our families.”

He eventually left the MKO secretly on April 3rd, the fourteenth day of the Iranian NewYear while the group had gone on a picnic. “Immediately I submitted to the office of UN High Commissioners of Refugees in Tirana,” he says. “I declare that I have had no relationship with the Mujahedin Khalq Organization since my departure from the group.”

MKO defectors in Albania
Former members of the MEK

Two hostages escaped the MKO base in Albania

Two members of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO/MEK /PMOI / the Cult of Rajavi) left the group’s base in Albania.

According to Sahar Family Foundation, the two recently-defected people could manage to escape from the MKO’s new base called Ashraf 3 in the outskirt of Tirana and introduced themselves to the office of the UN High Commissioners of Refugees.

The newly-established camp of the MKO is located in Durres region, 31 kilometers West of Tirana where members are more isolated than they were in Tirana.

SFF reported that following the relocation of MKO members in Ashraf 3 their discontent of the cult-like regulations of the group increased and once they were informed that the UNHCR pays their monthly payment independently –not via the MKO authorities-   they are more motivated to leave the group as soon as possible.

A newly-defected MKO member at Nejat Society

Former member of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO/ MEK/ PMOI/ the Cult of Rajavi) was welcomed at Nejat Society office in Isfahan.

Mohammad Tourang has recently defected the MKO in Albania and returned to Iran. Families of Nejat Society visited him at the office of the NGO in Isfahan.

The executive director of Nejat Society, Ebrahim Khodabandeh addressed the families, giving an outline of the current situation of the hostages in the MKO camp and those who could manage to leave the cult in Tirana, Albania.

Mohamamd Tourang also described the condition of the captives of the MKO as disastrous. Most members are old, depressed and sick, he said. Based on Tourang’s testimonies, people in the MKO base in Albania have many questions in their minds. “Brainwashing sessions ends with quarrels between the rank and file and the senior members, “he asserted.

Tourang answered to many questions that the suffering families asked him about their loved ones who are still taken as hostages in the MKO.

MKO defectors in Human Rights summit

A number of defectors of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO/ MEK/ PMIO/ the Cult of Rajavi) attended the annual conference of Geneva Summit for human rights and democracy on February 20, 2018.

According to a report by Peyvand-e Rahaiee –an association founded by the defectors– Ghorban Ali hosseinnejad, Batul Soltani, Davoud Baghervand and Amir Movasaghi met various human rights activists, authorities of the Summit and politicians in order to express the voice of victims of the MKO as a cult-like system that isolates its victims in the outskirt of Tirana Albania forbidding any contact with the outside world even with their families.

The annual conference of democracy and human rights is an opportunity for revelations on violation of human rights in different countries, organizations and establishments. Therefore, the MKO former members revealed facts on human rights violations in the modern slavery system of the Cult of Rajavi that manipulates the victims changing them into robots.

The survivors of the Cult of Rajavi introduced themselves to the authorities giving testimonies on the abuses they underwent during their membership in the cult.

As a woman who was sexually abuse by the leader of the cult, Massoud Rjavi, Batul Soltani testified in the event.

The defectors asked the authorities to be the voice of the victims of terrorist extremist groups such as the MKO, ISIS and Boko Haram in the human rights bodies and the United Nations, reported Peyvand-e Rahaiee. They warned that focusing on human rights violations by the states should not distract the human rights bodies from severe human rights violation that is taking place in the extremist cults on daily basis.

MKO defectors in Albania
Former members of the MEK

Defectors of the MKO independently paid by the UNHCR

Defectors of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO/MEK/the Cult of Rajavi) could manage to receive their monthly payment from the UN High Commissioner of Refugees, reported Sahar Family Foundation.

The UNHCR had stopped monthly payment and housing benefits for political refugees after they dissociated themselves from the MKO.

Once they rejected membership in the MKO, the group leaders had confiscated the monthly payment and the facilities that the UNHCR normally allocates to each refugee. Defectors could finally achieve their legal rights after their extensive protests to the UNHCR and the Albanian government.

According to SFF, the UNHCR has promised the defectors to resolve the problems they are faced with including their legal identity and work permits.

The UNHCR will also negotiate with the Albanian government about the defectors’ traveling permissions in Albania, reported SFF.

Thanking Denis MacShane, Writer and Former MP

Dear Denis MacShane,

I am Mehdi Khoshal, a resident of Germany. I would like to thank you for your humanitarian intervention and say sorry if you also received any injuries due to your attempt to rescue me. I would like to start my letter with a line from the famous Iranian poet Sadi:

Human beings are members of a whole,

In creation of one essence and soul.

If one member is afflicted with pain,

Other members uneasy will remain.

Mehdi Khoshal

I am the person who, on Wednesday sixth of December, was an invited guest to a Seminar in the European Parliament in Brussels about refugees. After the seminar, when I left by the main door of the European Parliament I was attacked by the Mojahedin Khalq thugs. At the same time something extraordinary happened. It is extraordinary when an Iranian is being targeted by terrorists in front of the buildings of the European Parliament and at that exact moment a writer and former British MP is present and tries to help but unfortunately, he himself is now at the receiving end of beatings and attacks by these terrorists.

Dear friend, who I have not seen and did not give any attention to on that evening while being beaten, I am also a writer in my own right. But my past experience and the problems involving my country have brought me to write about cults and terrorism over the past 25 years. I also, as have your good self, been targeted and faced life threatening attacks while trying to help others. Considering the helping hand you extended to an Iranian under attack and considering that you have paid a price by being attacked by the same perpetrators, I urge you to separate the experience of encountering the Mojahedin Khalq (Rajavi cult) with the normal behaviour of Iranian people who are certainly a peace-loving nation.

Finally, I would like to wish you good health and for the people of Europe friendship and peace.

Yours kindly,

Mehdi Khoshal

Germany, December 20, 2017
