Maryam Rajavi

For Whom The Bell Rings?

MKO leaders held ceremonies to commemorate the anniversary of Maryam Rajavi’s election by Massoud Rajavi (as elect-president, the head of the MKO and …) and boasted about it.

Although such ceremonies have been designed to make MKO forces (restricted to Camp Ashraf) busy so as not to think about the current situation, the group is following other purposes (for instance, they want to convey some messages to their colonialist masters).

In the ceremonies, it was repeatedly said by MKO officials that Maryam Rajavi is the sole leader of the resistance! And that the MKO has only one duty: to get her to Tehran by any means!

By this stupid tactic, remnants of Rajavi are pursuing a number of purposes:

1. Save Massoud Rajavi from the pressure of being the head of a terrorist group.

2. Transfer the responsibilities of the organization to Maryam without any formal announcement or change in policies.

3. Turn the challenges from MKO’s terrorist nature and activities to so-called political activities of the group in Europe and pave the way for being accepted by Zionist lobby and the US.

Meanwhile, what’s happening is that the MKO leaders are giving in to the plans of those who control the group (who believe that Rajavi should leave the group and NLA should be dismantled if the group wants to continue activities).

However, current masters of terrorist MKO say that the group should repent for its terrorist activities and dismantle NLA before they can remove Rajavi from the equation.

It should be noted that this situation is not in contrast with the will of Pentagonist for using MKO in an invasion against Iran. However, since the issue of MKO’s expulsion from Iraq and determining their fate has become a major issue for occupiers, it’s not possible to keep them for a possible invasion against Iran; in addition, some US parties are not interested in taking advantage of them.

US and The West Treat US as Hostages

In an interview with Hesham Al-Qarawi, published on Arab Online website, Maryam Rajavi, the head of terrorist MKO said: "The U.S. and Europ treat us like war hostages and this kind of behavior has led to the current situation for MKO."

Al-Qarawim, quoting Maryam Rajavi as saying "they used us as hostages", emphasizes that: "In this interview, Rajavi criticized European countries for their approach toward the MKO and expressed regret that they don’t pay attention to MKO’s requests."

Maryam Rajavi

Repetition of an Appeal

“Imposing comprehensive oil, weapons, technological and diplomatic sanctions on the Iranian regime through the United Nations Security Council in order to deprive it from the resources that enable it to obtain nuclear weapons and dominate Iraq and removing the terrorist label from the People’s Mojahedin Organization play an important role in bringing democratic change in Iran”, said Maryam Rajavi in a part of her letter to sent to the leaders of the G8 holding a summit in St. Petersburg.

Why is she so heated on Iran’s nuclear file at a time when the world seeks to find peaceful solution to the issue? Is she the leader of an international body concerned about the threat of something the world is in doubt to curb? Not at all. She is waving to the world to say here is a mole to move the mountains in your deal with Iran!

She proposes sanctions knowing it is Iranian people who have to pay the price. She propounds the Security Council while the file is a task of the IAEA to monitor nuclear proliferation, something not yet proved about Iran. These suggestions, not new in the ears of the Western countries, are made to appease them for the final demand; please, remove “the terrorist label from the People’s Mojahedin Organization”. Why? Because then they would be free to give a helping hand to “play an important role in bringing democratic change in Iran”, namely, aiming to assume power at all costs. Then, what about the Iranian people she claims to preside? Who cares about people!

Maryam Rajavi’s false victory

Three years ago, as part of the ongoing investigation into their alleged terrorist activities by the French anti-terrorist judge Jean-Louis Bruguiere, restrictions were placed on Maryam Rajavi and sixteen of her MKO/NCRI colleagues. The restrictions were essentially that these individuals should not have contact with one another and that travel outside France was forbidden. Naturally, the French prosecution office did not want to jeopardize such a serious investigation by the accused having private conversations and/or travelling to unknown destinations.

Every month after that, the NCRI were in court attempting to overturn the ruling on appeal. Now, after three years, the investigation has progressed, huge files on each of the accused have been prepared and the start of their trials is imminent. Since the restrictions are no longer necessary, they have been lifted. None of the charges against the accused have been dropped or changed. In fact, according to reliable sources, the evidence gathered over the past three years is so damning that the prosecution office are no longer seeking further evidence.

Yet, in spite of this situation, Maryam Rajavi has hailed the lifting of these restrictions as a major victory for the National Council of Resistance (aka Mojahedin-e Khalq). She has done this in the circumstance that Camp Ashraf is on the verge of collapse and dismantlement, and in the realization that no replacement can be found for Saddam Hussein to sponsor and support her mercenary group. Her every effort is geared toward convincing the members of her cult – including some western politicians – that the Mojahedin is still a viable entity and has a future.

For years – since 1997 in fact – Maryam Rajavi has been asking for her organisation to be removed from global terrorist lists on the grounds that she is trying to expose the human rights violations of the mullahs’ regime. In spite of this – which of course every major international organisation is already successfully involved with – she still cannot and will not definitively and unambiguously denounce violence as her only means to achieve power in Iran.

Terrorists Exploit Diplomatic Pressure

* Head of a group labeled terrorist by the U.S. urges the West to back an internal political push against Tehran.

AUVERS-SUR-OISE, France – Opening the gates of the secretive world of her headquarters North of Paris, the leader of an Iranian exile group urged Western governments Tuesday to support a campaign of internal political resistance to the regime in Tehran.

Maryam Rajavi of the Mujahedin Khalq, which has been officially designated a terrorist group by the United States and European Union, capitalized on the escalating diplomatic confrontation with Iran to hold a rare news conference at the heavily guarded compound on the wooded banks of the Oise River.

Rajavi, 52, called for the West to avoid responding to Iran’s nuclear ambitions with appeasement or a military invasion. Instead, she said political and economic sanctions would fortify democratic resistance among Iranians, with her group, whose name translates as People’s Holy Warriors, serving as a vanguard.

"The Iranian resistance has a capacity to bring about change," Rajavi said. "Knowing this, the mullahs have always in their dealings with their foreign counterparts demanded the imposition of harsh restrictions on the resistance, branding it as terrorist and a sect."

Despite Rajavi’s contention that she is a moderate Muslim espousing a peaceful, democratic Iran, her initiative seems a longshot at best.

Her group remains under investigation in France for allegedly carrying out terrorist attacks in Iran and plotting against Iranian government targets in Europe.

After French police arrested Rajavi during a raid on the compound by more than 1,000 officers in 2003, a number of her followers around Europe set themselves on fire. The grisly protests exposed an internal culture that mixes Marxism and Islam, isolates members from their families and gives Rajavi the status of a guru, according to French investigators and former members.

Moreover, Mujahedin Khalq’s former alliance with since-deposed Iraqi President Saddam Hussein in Iraq’s war against Iran alienated many Iranians. Because of the group’s lack of support in Iran and dubious image, Washington, Paris and other capitals do not see the group as a viable force, according to analysts and Western officials.

"Given the sect-like, totalitarian and terrorist nature of this organization," enlisting it as an ally seems "indefensible," said analyst Dimitri Delalieu in a recent report for the European Strategic Intelligence and Security Center, a Brussels think tank.

Rajavi and fellow leaders were released pending the outcome of the French investigation. They say the charges are groundless and part of a politically motivated attempt by France to facilitate deal-making with the Iranian government.

In any case, the group retains a measure of relevance because it periodically has made significant disclosures about Tehran’s nuclear program. It relies on an espionage network in Iran and sometimes, analysts say, tips from Western and Israeli spy services.

"They are more marginal than ever," said Olivier Roy, a Middle East expert at the National Center for Scientific Research in Paris. "They will maintain their contacts with Western governments only because intelligence services have so little on Iran. The CIA and others have great difficulty getting information in Iran. So because of the lack of anything better, the Mujahedin will still be able to play that role."

Rajavi appeared determined Tuesday to rehabilitate her image. A legislator each from Britain, France, Belgium and Portugal were on hand to endorse her and demand that her group be removed from lists of terrorist organizations.

Rajavi said the West should use sanctions to pressure the Iranian government to submit to a referendum on the future of the country’s political leadership that would be watched by international monitors.

"It would be fantastic if the international community could intervene and impose a referendum," she said.

But she declined to rule out armed intervention, saying, "The tactics and methods have been imposed not by us, but by the mullahs."

Maryam Rajavi

Where does Maryam Rajavi stand?

When Masud Rajavi found out a risk from the organization’s members, looked for a woman who could save him from that abyss. A woman like “Farah Diba”, the Iranian Shah’s wife. In the meantime he fell in love with Maryam Qajar and after a period of liaison with her, divorced Firouzeh BaniSadr and introduced Maryam as the second person of the organization.

Mujahedin’s people propagandized her character and presented her as an outwardly perfect goddess. They held concerts in which they had publicities to attract western people’s attention.

They made a charismatic character of her in order to draw women’s attention to the organization. Pheminist thoughts published in MKO on one hand caused Masud to use it as his own shield and on the other hand, to be worried about replacing of this modern thought instead of his own idea.

When the women were charged with responsibilities and got the high positions, the supporters got angry and started to critisize, some men separated from the MEK. They considered Masud’s new strategies as abusing the women. But will Masud’s wishes be harmonious with Maryam’s feminine ambitions? In 2003, France police arrested her for two weeks. She was accused of using her residence in “Over Sur d’Oise” as a base to launch terrorist attacks. But police were forced to liberate her since the members set themselves on fire in front of Police Station and Iran Embassy.

In the early eighties, Iran witnessed the terror of its high officials and Maryam Rajavi as Masud’s main abettor was accused she was accused of operating terrorist operations, especially after the establishing of National Liberation Army as the military branch of the organization and Maryam was elected as the vice-commandant of the so-called army.

She fled Iran before her death sentence be issued. She had various positions in MKO, until the NCRI members who are completely absorbed by her personality, elected her as Iran President just when Masud pointed out. Therefore she became the executive manager of Masud’s vague ideology and occupied some positions in the organization. She claimed that one third of the organization members are women. On the other hand Iran has placed Maryam and Masud’s names in the list of wanted people and declared that they would never be forgiven. Nowadays Maryam considers herself as the elected president of Iran and tries to collect funds from her supporters from all over the word. She is in the hope of glossing over the accusations of her involvement in Oil – Food program in Iraq. Maryam encouraged her supporters to act terror operations without paying attention to civilians and she is proud of her suicide policy.

Whenever a member of MKO is willing to return to normal life, they take him to their weekly meetings and repress him under high mental pressure of brain washing and repeat this phrase to him:” You were not created for a normal life! Listen to Maryam Rajavi to find a solution to your problems!”

Maryam is also wanted by the US and since 1997 her organization has been in the FTO list. The EU also followed the American policy In 2000. She repeatedly appears on video tapes and asks Jaque Shirak to return the seized funds of the MKO which were found during her arrest operation. She continually talks about a hundred – twenty thousands martyrs and half a million prisoners who are waiting for Bush to end Iran regime and deliver the government to her. She also has used Ahvaz case in order to have Arabs’ attention.

What method does she use and according to which rules does she control her group? She sometimes addresses the members’ suicidal characteristic and asks them to apply Masud’s ideology. She encourages them to die and considers death as a virtue, even though she talks frequently about democracy and secularism.

It has been told that Maryam is Masud’s chain mail. She is the leader of a self – built cult. She has the characteristics of a cult leader. She enjoys a charismatic character and she believes that “the goal justifies the means.” Besides she has gathered a group of people under the cover name of “Iranian Muslim Students Society” and has controlled their minds. Among them she fusses about sexual inequality, she talks about real sexual delight of what the separated members accuse the MKO. The difference between this cult and the other cults and groups is that the MKO is very ambitious and thinks about controlling the entire Iran!?

When in 1980’s Maryam and Masud were expelled from France, they fed themselves with Saddam’s food. She believed in approaching their (Saddam’s and MKO’s) common enemy –Iran. Saddam also gave them an occasion to continue their aggressions.

Where does Maryam stand after the fall of Saddam? Is she the Washington’s winning card? Is she lobbing one of the rooms of the white House among American congress men?

In her last message, she said:”my belief has approached the reality, the US is going to realize that the main solution to deal with Iran can be organized by an Iranian opposition.” On the other hand, a smoke can be seen from Israel Camp which shows that it plans to keep MKO alive in order to use them against Iran as a pressure axis. There is no need to look for Maryam – Saddam Hussein’s colleague. Bush has answered our question with the following phrase:” my country appreciates Iranian’s efforts for freedom”. In addition, he has allocated 3 million $ to support such groups.

Maryam Rajavi prosecuted over human rights violations

Former Members Prosecute Rajavi

Former members of Mojahedin-e Khalq organization take action against the leaders of this organization in France.

According to Le Parisien, Massoud Khodabandeh, Karim Haqqi Moni, Massoud Tayebi and Jamshid Tahmasebi-four former members of MKO-have accused MKO leaders of violating human rights and freedoms as well as torturing and endangering the lives of other people.

About their complaint in French Judiciary, Le Parisien wrote: “Maryam Rajavi and her husband allow themselves to interfere in the private lives of the members and break their marital relations.”

This paper notes that these four men were former members of MKO, adding: “The leaders of this organization have issued execution order for Tayebi and Haqqi to prevent them from leaving the organization but they have been able to escape to Europe and get political asylum from Netherlands government.”

According to Le Parisien, Khodabandeh was Rajavi’s bodyguard. When he decided to leave MKO, they injected narcotics into his body and Tahmasebi was under heavy mental tortures.

Le Parisien quotes French security service: â€œthis organization never allowed its members to open an account. It has been listed as a terrorist organization by the US and EU.”
