Although the illegal multi-million dollar lobby of the group brought it about with some paid advocators, yet the MKO/MEK/PMOI making use of the human rights issues bear no fruit for the group and the things doesn’t go as the group leaders wishes. The human rights issue resulted in the opposite of what they longed for.
While the UN monitors and other eyewitnesses of the MKO camps confirm violations of human rights taken place inside the MKO camps, the group’s propaganda uproars about what it calls”increasing human rights violation in Iran”. Elizabeth Rubin properly states that despite Maryam Rajavi’s rhetoric to advocate a secular democratic government in Iran,”Mujahedeen operates like any other dictatorship”.
Mr. Ezzati described how the children in the MKO/MEK/PMOI are indoctrinated from the early ages;”Our trainings started since the age of four. We marched and chanted marches in front of the photos of the so-called MKO martyrs. We were so manipulated that we never missed our mothers
we urge your honour, as UN High Commissioner for Refugees and international authority who is responsible for solving this issue, as well as the competent international bodies, especially the International Committee of the Red Cross and its office in Iraq, to oblige the leadership of the PMOI to announce the names …
Maryam Rajavi’s idea about hijab is very controversial. She claims in her so-called “ten point plan for future of Iran” that women “will enjoy the right to freely choose their clothing”. However, evidences on what is really going on inside her group indicates that there is no freedom of clothing in the MKO aka MEK/PMOI camps.
Weeks later Iraq announced that the death toll was 53, not 52 as previously claimed by the MEK. The revised figure was due to the fact that the 53rd victim had had his face so badly burned that it took a while to identify him as one of the MEK and not one of the attackers and to discover his true identity.
The sight of Maryam Rajavi offering condolences for the passing away of Nelson Mandela was disturbing, considering that her husband as the fugitive leader of her group actively opposed and criticized Mandela’s legacy.Unlike Mandela, Rajavis cannot claim that they have sought to establish policy and practice in order to protect fundamental Human Rights.
And while MKO/MEK/PMOI spokesmen may castigate the Iraqi government and the Iranian regime, the real victims of the MKO lay within the group itself. Camp Liberty—the successor to Camp Ashraf—exists as much if not more to keep MKO members insulated from the real world and under the control of MKO leader Maryam Rajavi’s commissars …
The cult-like substance of the MKO undermines any efforts by the group to get the gesture of a democratic alternative to Iranian government. Jeremia Goulka who is one of the co- authors of the RAND report on the MKO, suggests that the MEK vigorously denies that it is a cult, accusing critics of working for the Iranian regime or performing inadequate research.
Think! Who, in the past ten years, has done more to harm the members than Massoud and Maryam Rajavi. The cruelty and corruption which govern the group’s internal relations are known intimately by those who suffered under that regime. Where is Maryam Rajavi’s compassion? Why does she show no sympathy …
