Letter from Samad Eskandari to the Swedish Ambassador to Iran

Mr. Samad Eskandari, on behalf of the plaintiffs against the leaders of the MEK in Iran, sent a letter to the Swedish Ambassador in Tehran.

The text of the letter is as follows:

Honorable Ambassador of Sweden in Tehran

Greetings and Regards,
Sweden is known around the world for its calm, quiet, shy, outspoken and law-abiding people. In Scandinavian culture and tradition, there are two concepts, La Gomo and Law of Jante (Janteloven). In Swedish culture, there is no public discussion or expression of anger. You seldom hear a Swede shout at someone on the street. The loudest sound you hear from a Swede in public is when he is still a baby. In Swedish culture and tradition, avoiding conflict and compromise is considered a positive and intelligent behavior. Swedes speak quietly and often prefer to be good listeners. Seeking rights and paying attention to human rights issues is a good and humane act that is naturally considered by the people of the world.

Now let me introduce myself after this prologue. I am Samad Eskandari from Zanjan province in Iran. Unfortunately, I spent 20 of the best years of my life in the detention camps of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK, MKO) in Iraq, led by Massoud and Maryam Rajavi, in deplorable conditions.

Unfortunately, your country’s judicial system is now, at the request of this organization, dealing with the issue of human rights violations against a person identified as Hamid Nouri for a crime against humanity. First of all, I said that the investigation of crimes against humanity is a good and God-pleasing thing, provided that justice is properly and fully established and observed.

I need to explain that I decided to send a letter to Your Excellency just for a human desire, regardless of any political or ideological affiliation, and for justice. The MEK and its repressive agents, who in the current situation have filed lawsuits in the court of your country as plaintiffs and witnesses and claim human rights violations and crimes against humanity, directly and personally participated in murder, torture, imprisonment, humiliation, genocide, the Inquisition is involved, including in my case, and their hands are covered in the blood of many dissatisfied members of the MEK, including Ghorban-Ali Torabi, Parviz Ahmadi, Nasser Mohammadi, Alan Mohammadi, Yaser Akbari-Nasab, Marjan Akbarian, Homa Bashardoost, Marzieh Ali-Ahmadi, Minoo Fath-Ali, Masoumeh Gheibipour, Nasrin Ahmadi, Kamran Bayati, Farhad Tahmasebi, Ahmad Rezapour, Farman Shafa-Bin, Ahmad Razani, Shamsollah Golmohammadi, Zahra Feizbakhsh, Mehri Mousavi, Khodam Golmohammadi, Kamal Mousavi, Davood Ahmadi, Hojjat Azizi, Hamzeh Heydari, Elias Karami, Jafar Kohzad Manesh, Jalil Bozorgmehr, Karim Pedram, Mohammad-Reza Baba-Khanlou, etc. Heads of MEK are tainted and are in fact criminals who today are trying to deceive the judicial minds of your country to cover up their crimes.

I am honored to be the legal representative of more than 250 former members of this organization, all of whom managed to escape, for genocide and crimes against humanity against the leaders of this organization and the key elements who were responsible for these crimes. 39 pages of the sentence issued against the MEK By the nature of what I have described, they have been sentenced to pay compensation through Branch 55 of the Tehran International Court, and the sentence has been finalized.

Addressing the human rights issues of your country’s judicial system, as the representative of the plaintiffs against the leaders of the MEK, drew my attention to two important issues:

1- The leaders of the MEK along with a large number of repressive elements of this group committed crimes against humanity, and according to the final verdict of the International Court of Tehran, the esteemed judicial officials and the Prime Minister of your country should arrange a court for me and all plaintiffs so that our lawsuit can be heard in the presence of the litigants, taking into account the verdict that was approved.
2- According to the judicial laws governing the territory of countries, such as the plaintiffs and witnesses of the current case in your country, who committed a crime against humanity and are responsible for it, cannot enter into this matter in the form of a plaintiff or witness, or file a lawsuit.

Your Excellency
The leaders of the MEK have committed many crimes against members of their group, which are abundantly witnessed in European countries. As the legal representative of the plaintiffs in Iran, I request Your Excellency to accept the documents and verdicts issued and a number of witnesses and plaintiffs in the case against the MEK, and to submit our arguments and verdicts to the esteemed Prime Minister and judicial officials of your country.
Please do not let the rich and beautiful culture of your good country, which is spoken in general and special, under the pressure and lobbying of the MEK, a bitter memory in the minds of the people of the world and the people of Iran, especially us rescued members of the MEK.

I look forward to hearing from you and meeting you at your first convenient time.
Peace be upon humanity and peace be upon justice

Sincerely yours,
Samad Eskandari
Representative of the plaintiffs against the leaders of the MEK

Open letter to the Swedish parliament

Dear Mr. Per Westerberg, President of the Swedish Parliament

Members of the Swedish Parliament
Ladies and gentlemen, we are a few long serving ex-members of the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation (aka; MKO, MEK, NCRI) who have been in Mojahedin Khalq prisons because of our disagreements with the ideology and the policies of the organisation. We have all been humiliated and undergone physical and psychological tortures while inside and even after being let out of the MEK prisons. We only managed to free ourselves from the claws of the Mojahedin Khalq after the fall of the infamous dictator regime of Saddam Hussein in Iraq.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

In 1991 we witnessed the biggest co-operation between the leaders of the Mojahedin Khalq, Massoud and Maryam Rajavi, with the brutal regime of Saddam Hussein.

In a time that the Kurdish people had the chance of taking advantage of the weakness of the suppressive apparatus of Saddam. In that year when the military machine of Saddam Hussein had been severely weakened by the American forces in the first Persian Gulf war. The Kurdish forces had the best opportunity to move towards Baghdad and topple the regime of Saddam.

In March 1991 Massoud and Maryam Rajavi gave the order to massacre the Kurds with the heavy weapons given to them by Saddam and therefore stopped the Kurds from reaching Baghdad. This massacre of the Kurds is the most disgusting and shameful part of the history of this terrorist organisation during its entire existence.

The Swedish Parliament has accepted in the last few weeks to officially recognise the reality of the suffering of the Kurdish people of Iraq carried out by the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation in 1991. We believe that this just and humanitarian gesture should not be left unnoticed. We believe that other European countries should now pass similar resolutions and show their solidarity and respect for the people of Kurdistan.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

We are a few long serving ex-members of Mojahedin Khalq Organisation who have managed to survive after the fall of Saddam Hussein and now live in European countries. We are living witnesses of the crimes the Mojahedin Khalq have committed in 1991. We urge you to allow us to present ourselves to your parliament and let you know what we have seen with our own eyes. In doing so we are sure that many other aspects of this horrifying crime would be revealed.

Nejat Society letter to Swedish Ambassador

Dear Mr. Ambassador,
We are a number of relatives of the captives held by the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO) and also a number of former members of the organization who succeeded to leave it after 20 to 25 years of mental and physical imprisonment.

We live in Iran now.

We appreciate the recent act of Swedish parliament members who condemned the suppression of Iraqi Kurds by the MKO during the 1991.

Dear Mr. Ambassador,
As former members of the group, we all eye-witnessed the massacre of Kurdish people under the order of Maryam and Massoud Rajavi. We remember the voice of Maryam Rajavi via military radio, who called on all units:”Take the Kurds under the tanks. Save your bullets for Pasdaran”! Yes, the Kurds who had revolted against Saddam Hussein’s regime were suppressed by his mercenary, the MKO, in Kurdish regions including Kefri, Tuzkhormatou, Qareh Tapeh.

Once we defected the MKO, we were determined to denounce all crimes of the group which is actually in the inside a dangerous destructive cult. Nejat Society founders work to release their family members or ex-comrades who are still taken as hostages by the cult of Rajavi.

Thus, we ask your honorable government to give us the opportunity to attend your parliament in order to reveal horrible crimes we eye observed in the operation against Kurds, in 1991, although we know that agents of the MKO are awfully active in your country.

You may want to get learned about documents and evidences on the group operatives, recruiters and fundraisers who are secretly supported by the MKO leadership in order to run the group’s propaganda as well as attacking former member in your territory.

We are looking forward for your positive response. Your prompt cooperation with Nejat Society can definitely help your honorable government with the security of Swedish citizens as well as European citizens.
Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,
Nejat Society

We are currently living in different European countries such as France, Netherlands, Germany and …….).

We got informed that the members of Riksdag (the national legislative assembly and the supreme decision-making body in the Kingdom of Sweden) in a humanitarian move have condemned the massacre of Kurds by MEK.

Mr. Per Westerberg and the honorable and distinguished members of Riksdag,

We had all witnessed the crime perpetrated by pmoi in Iraq in 1991. we had witnessed the suppression and massacre of Kurds in Iraq which happened by the direct order of the leaders of MEK, Massoud and Maryam Rajavi . Mrs. Maryam Ghajar Azdanlo ( Maryam Rajavi) had ordered directly through the military transmitters to the MEK military units quote **squash the Kurds under your tanks and armored vehicles and save your ammunitions and bullets for the border and Iranian soil for killing the Iranian soldiers **. This brutal and inhumane order was broadcast by Maryam Rajavi own voice through the military transmitters and after that the Kurds who began uprising against the Saddam Hussein’s government were crushed out and suppressed brutally by MEK army, NLA( National Liberation Army) in favor of the Iraqi dictator , Saddam Hussein in Iraq’s Kurdish areas such as Kafri, Touz Khormato, Ghareh Tapeh, Ghasreh Shirin and …………..etc.

Mr. Per Westerberg and the honorable and distinguished members of Riksdag,

We, after the separation from this terrorist organization (MEK, mko, Rajavi’s cult) with sectarian and cultic internal affaires led and run by Massoud and Maryam Rajavi , have decided to reveal and disclose all the crimes perpetrated by this notorious and dangerous organization to stop this organization from further crime and killing .

We are urging you to give us the opportunity and permission to reveal and divulge the crimes perpetrated by MEK in face to face meeting with you and the honorable members of Riksdag in your assembly and inform you more about those crimes in details .

We know that some of the MEK terrorist members are active in your country and there are many documents and evidence which show that the MEK have been supporting them covertly and use them to attack its dissidents and opponents in France and other European countries.

We are eagerly waiting for your positive response to our request and we assure you that our face to face meeting will help you a lot to know more about this terrorist organization and also it will be a reliable source for the security of your country and Europe.

MEK involvement in massacre of Kurds on record

Open letter to the Chairperson of the Swedish Parliament

Greetings,
MEK involvement in massacre of Kurds on record
In a brave and humanitarian move, the Swedish Parliament passed a resolution on 5 December, 2012 acknowledging the massacre of Kurdish people. We as members of the Iran Pen Association salute this decision by the Swedish Parliamentarians and ask you to set up further investigations and research into the disastrous killings of Kurds, so that more people around the world would learn and realize how badly the Kurds have suffered under tyranny and therefore; similar atrocities against them in future could be prevented.

Among the ruling regimes in the Region which have suppressed the Kurdish people, the Iraq’s ousted dictator Saddam Hussein had committed the most savage crimes. Especially, by the chemical bombardment of the town of Halabche and later by attacking the Kurds with heavy weapons and artillery, tanks and missiles when they rose up against Saddam’s despotic rule at the end of the Kuwait War. In fact, it was in this very brutal war against the Kurds that Saddam Hussein used the Iranian group of PMOI/MEK armed forces to savagely suppress the Kurds’ uprising and widespread massacres followed.

We, the writers of this letter, are from Iran Pen Association in Europe that consists of defectors from this Iranian group PMOI/MEK led by Masoud Rajavi. Our activities include Human Rights promotion and helping Iranian refugees. The majority of us have each spent more than twenty years inside Rajavi’s cult in Iraq and each one of us is a living witness and has abundant experience and knowledge of the PMOI/MEK leadership (Masoud and Maryam Rajavi), its cult nature, terrorist activities and its rule of terror, deceit and humiliation inside the Organization and also its grave involvement in massacre of Iraqi Kurds. After the brutal suppression of the Kurds, Masoud Rajavi told his followers in a meeting in Iraq that Saddam’s deputy, Ezat Ibrahim, had personally hailed and thanked him for the killing of the Kurds and putting down their uprising. Furthermore, in video tapes discovered of meetings between Masoud Rajavi and General Haboush (the chief of Saddam’s secret Inteligence Service), Haboush thanked Rajavi for suppressing the Kurds and told Rajavi that he was then considered as a member of Saddam’s Baath Party leadership. In those days of waging war against the Iraqi Kurds, Maryam Rajavi ordered the PMOI/MEK armed forces to “run over the Kurds by tanks”.

The truth and reality is that due to the religious-cult nature of the PMOI/MEK, the extent and depth of its crimes in and outside the Cult, including its involvement in bloody massacre of Kurds; has still mainly remained uncovered and untold. Therefore; in order to shed light on Rajavi’s involvement in killings of the Kurds in Iraq during Saddam’s era, we are ready and willing to provide you with witnesses and documentation for this cause.

With best wishes for Christmas and a New Year of Peace and Freedom.

Yours sincerely,
Iran Pen Association

The Iranian Pen Club Letter to the Ambassador of Sweden in France
Respectfully, we would like to acknowledge that on Saturday 28 Nowember a meeting held in Cergy supporting the cultural integration of Iranian refugees in French society was violently disrupted when twenty thugs associated with a destructive terrorist cult called Mojahedin Khalq (MKO) attacked the guests and sponsors of the meeting.One of them was Mr. Akbar Aramideh.

In this ceremony Mr. karami, Human Rights activist attached by Mr. Akbar Aramideh in this . He came from the Sweden.

The violent attack on this public meeting was planned by Maryam Rajavi. She is planning in France ( Auvers-sur-Oise ) and conducting terrorist activities in Europe.
In this meeting three people were injured, it is only due to the prompt action of French police that further injuries were not sustained.

We would like to inform your Excellency that was Mr. Akbar Aramideh, citizeen of Sweden is supporting and backing up the leaders of MKO, MRS. MARYAM RAJAVI and MASOUD RAJAVI and their terrorist cult in France.

Mojahedin Khalq (MKO) have linked the ideology of Marx and Lenin with the Islam and established a radical organisation.

Without the expressive approval of its religious leaders, Massoud and Maryam Rahjavi, any marriage will be prohibited. The future and destiny of their members depends on their decision only.

Those who wanted to decide about their private lives themselves, have been executed by the organisation.

Also there is one undeniable fact that MKO and its National Liberation Army (NLA) have been an inseparable part of Saddam Hussein’s Regime and have even participated along the forces of the Deposed Despot to suppress the People of Iraq’s freedom movement in 1991. The Organisation is also responsible for many sabotage and terrorist activities inside Iran through the years.

In conclusion, we request from you as Ambassedor of Sweden in France that considering the local and internernational threat posed by the terrorist cult Mojahedin-e Khalq and Mr. Akbar Aramideh, member of this terrorist cult as described above.

Swedish MPs slammed over terrorist Mojahedin Khalq meeting

Two Swedish lawmakers have been criticized after their recent participation in a panel organized by an anti-Iranian terrorist group.

The Members of Parliament Anne Ludvigsson and Bjorn Leivik attended a panel debate entitled Human Rights in Iran aimed at removing the terrorist group Mujahedin-e Khalq (MKO) from the EU’s terror list.

“The meeting was reportedly organized by the Organization of the United Associations for a Free Iran (FFFI) [affiliated to the MKO],”the Swedish SvD daily wrote.

It is inappropriate for Bjorn Leivik and Anne Ludvigsson to have participated in a panel debate arranged by an organization known to be terrorist, cult-like and brutal, said Majed Safaee, an Iranian blogger residing in Sweden.

He also underlined that Human Rights Watch has described how the group had harassed ex-members and used torture at their camps in Iraq under Saddam’s rule.

The MKO has committed terrorist acts against the Iranian nation and collaborated with Saddam’s regime in its bloody crackdown on Iraqi Kurds and Shias.

Iraqi officials have long tried to bring the group’s leader Masoud Rajavi to justice over his role in the massacre of Iraqi people. ————- Human Rights Abuses Inside the Mojahedin Khalq Camps (HRW, May 2005) http://hrw.org/backgrounder/mena/iran0505/ Exit NoHuman Rights Abuses Inside the Mojahedin Khalq Camps I.

Swede MP Comments on MKO

"I assure you that supporting the MKO is not the policy of the EU. This group is an unimportant movement who come to the halls of European parliaments like many other similar groups and this doesn’t mean that Europe is supporting them", said the envoy of Swedish Parliament to Iran, Goran Lindblad, in an interview with the Secretary General of Habilian Association.

According to the website of Habilian, Hasheminejad presented a report on the case of terrorism in Iran and meanwhile criticized some European MPs for what he called "supporting the leaders of MKO". "They support this terrorist group but they should take a look at official reports on the group by the US and their own governments", he said.

Stressing that the terrorist MKO has claimed responsibility for killing people- whose names have been published by Habilian, Secretary General of Habilian Association criticized Norwegian and Belgian MPs for receiving Maryam Rajavi and said: "These meetings were held with the purpose of effecting Iran’s nuclear case but what we expect from Europeans is to quit political views when dealing with the issue of terrorism".

Mr. Goran Lindblad expressed sympathy with the families of terrorism victims in Iran and said:

"I have earlier heard the words of MKO members. They are a mixture of Islam and Marxism. There was also a letter in the favor of the group which I didn’t sign because of their terrorist records. I assure you that supporting this group is not the policy of the EU."

"I am aware that there were mistakes during Maryam Rajavi’s visit to Belgium and Norway, although they were not important. These people are conducting futile efforts. European Union is fully aware of the group’s activities. We have our own evaluation system and the group’s activities have no influence on our decisions. Our views come from experts," he added.
