Belgium decides free from the terrorist group of MEK

In the past few days, the annual meeting of the terrorist group of the Mujahedin-e Khalq was canceled due to reasons that they referred to as security problems. In Belgium, in a brave and humanitarian act, the parliament of this country approved the plan to extradite political prisoners with Iran that lets the Iranian diplomat Mr. Assadollah Asadi who got detained which was against the international law, return to his own country and with this action Belgium took a positive step to restore peaceful relations with Iran. As you know, Iran's friendly and economic relations with Belgium go back to centuries and Belgium proved that it doesn’t want to cut its long-term relations with Iran because of a terrorist group that was on the list of American Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO) until 2012. For this reason, now the MEK, who see themselves in danger of disintegration, are trying to organize gatherings and meetings with the presence of their members in Sweden, Germany and some other countries by renting Afghan and Syrian nationals with promises of free food and tourism. As you know, according to the report of the RAND Institute of America, this terrorist group has no social status and 97% of Iranian people hate this group. According to the American experts, the MEK will have no political future in Iran, so the support of some former politicians who are going through their retirement period was to get huge money from this group, and with these actions, these people actually violate the principle of human rights, because the money that is paid to this terrorist group is from the taxes that the Albanian people pay, and in this case, we saw the protests of the Albanian people not long ago, who asked why their taxes go into the pocket of the terrorist group of MEK and demanded to cut off the financial support of the Albanian government to this group. In the same matter, the American embassy in Albania had announced its support for this terrorist group in a post on Twitter, and Albanian citizens wrote things against this article in the comments section and demanded to stop supporting this group. In this regard, we have an interview with Mr. Olsi Jazexhi, a Canadian-Albanian journalist and university professor, regarding financial issues and the nature of this terrorist group.

1- Can you evaluate the nature of the group of Mujahedin-e Khalq and how you get acquainted with this group?

I am a scholar of Islam who in the past years have studied and analyzed the creation and radicalization of extremist Muslim groups in the West, by Western governments and their Arab allies, and their misuse against the Muslim World. Before exploring the extremist nature of MEK I have dealt with other terrorist groups such as ISIS / DAESH, Jabhat al-Nusra, Wahabi extremists etc.

Albania from where I come from, produced a large number of Takfiri / Wahabi foreign fighters who were sent by the Saudi and other Wahabi networks to Syria, to wage a terrorist war against the Syrian and Iraqi governments. The first group of MEK terrorists came to Albania in 2013, at a time when many European Muslims were being radicalized and sent to Syria to terrorize the Muslims and Christians of the Middle East.

2- To what extent are the Albanian people, including the general public and the elite community of this country, aware of the history and current situation of this group? What do these two groups of Albanians think about the presence of MEK members in their country?

When MEK was massively relocated to Albania in 2016 most Albanian politicians and the public were appalled by their presence. There were many media articles, public debates, media protests and police reports which revealed the weird and criminal nature of MEK. Albanians protested the insidious coming of MEK in their country and many blamed the regime of Prime Minister Edi Rama for bringing a terrorist group to the country. Albanians who were horrified by the crimes of DAESH and Jahbat al Nusra in Syria and Iraq, resented the presence of MEK and asked for their deportation to another country.

However, since 2019 MEK has managed to silence the dissenting voices in Albania. By spending millions of dollars in propaganda and blackmail, they have managed to silence most media and journalists. The US Embassy in Tirana and the Trump administration blackmailed Albanian politicians, parliamentarians and security services to stop their rejection and investigation of MEK activities in the country. As a result, since 2019 no Albanian public servant or media dares to report any crime or terrorist activity that MEK carries from within and outside Albania. Journalists or security officials who dare to speak about MEK are side-lined and punished.

3- According to the MEK, this group aspires to build a so-called "free Iran". Can you explain the situation of member’s freedom in this group and how the group's encounter with the Albanian press community?

The MEK is a cult. It is run by a woman, called Maryam Rajavi. Because of her old age and criminal past, Rajavi seems to have lost her mind and she is out of touch with the reality. MEK operates like a paramilitary terrorist – cult organization. It has no internal democracy, no free elections. Its members are held inside the paramilitary camp of the organization in Manza, Durres, Albania. They have no freedom to marry, to develop their ideas, to contact with their families. Rajavi and her leadership have created an army of radicalized lunatics whose dream is to assassinate any Iranian which does not obey to the Rajavi cult.

MEK hates democracy and the press. They never allow journalists to interview their members or question the weird nature of the cult. MEK does only monologues with the media. Whenever they deliver some news to the press, they want the press to take their version of news without questioning their veracity. MEK’s relations with the press community can be compared to the way how North Korea deals with the media.They have beaten journalists from the British Channel 4 and attacked many Western and local media.

Most Iranians whom I know hate MEK. Iran does not need democracy. It is already a democratic state and MEK is the last terrorist organization of this planet which can bring democracy to Iran. MEK’s military command is a criminal organization, which must face justice for the crimes it has carried against the people of Iran and Iraq in the past decades.

4- In your opinion, who chose Albania as the base and residence of the group of MEK? Has the Albanian government voluntarily resettled MEK in this country? What was the purpose?

The location of MEK to Albania was an American decision. After invading Iraq and defeating the Baathist regime of Saddam Hussein, MEK betrayed its master Saddam and offered itself to the Americans and their Zionist agenda in the Middle East. However, the Americans could not guarantee the safety of MEK in post-Saddam Iraq, since many Iraqis wanted to see MEK face justice for the crimes it has comitted against the people of Iraq. The Americans tried desperately to find a country that would host MEK. They asked the Romanians, the Bulgarians and the Macedonians but all these governments refused. Finally, they asked the regime of Edi Rama in Albania to host them. The present Albanian regime is utterly corrupt. If someone reads the cables of the WikiLeaks, they will understand how the US Embassy has a total control over the country, in every aspect.

Hence, MEK was imposed on Albania and its politicians could not say no. The purpose of relocation of MEK to Albania was made in order to use the expertise that this group has in terrorism and espionage against the Islamic Republic of Iran. Since their coming, MEK, like DAESH or Jahbat al-Nusra before them have become the foot soldiers of Zionism against the political Islam. They work on behalf of the United States and Israel for their global war against the Arab and the Muslim world.

5- Each year, the group spends a staggering amount of money on glamorous but almost no audience ceremonies. Do you know the source of these expenses? What is the purpose of holding such a ceremony for a group whose name has been on the list of foreign terrorist organizations of the European Union and the United States for many years?

While MEK is a dying organization, it is used by the US government and Israel as a scarecrow against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The strategy of the US and Israel, after defeating and destroying the nationalist and Islamist Arab regimes of Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Egypt and Sudan has been to built an alliance between Arab gulf Sheikhdoms and Israel to counter the political Islam in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates are believed to be the main sponsors of MEK’s operation in Albania. While the Albanian government and the Americans protect the donors of MEK, so far we know of the United Arab Emirates as one of the main indirect sponsors of MEK. UAE has sponsored the reconstruction of the city of Manez where MEK is located. On the other hand Saudi Arabia which sponsors a large group of Wahabi imams in Albania is believed to be behind a pro-MEK Wahabi propaganda in some Wahabi circles.

The yearly meetings which MEK organizes every July in Albania, where they invite a number of mostly retired Western politicians, is used as a platform by Israel for building a global alliance against the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Axis of Resistance which it directs from Palestine to Yemen. The aim of MEK and its sponsors is to blackmail Iran and force it to abandon its support for the liberation of Palestine. Most European and American politicians who support MEK are diehard Zionists. They know that by supporting MEK they are supporting Israel and its supremacy over Islam.

6- Recently, Mike Pompeo traveled to Albania with an 80-member security team and visited the camp of the MEK. The news of this meeting also focuses more on the economic aspect of this issue, that is, the speaking fees of the former American politicians. Interestingly, Mike Pompeo in his speech also describes himself as an "unemployed politician". What do you think about this kind of look at Pompeo's trip?

Well, Mike Pompeo is practically nobody in the United States at present. His coming to Albania was coordinated by the Zionist lobby in the United States which is interested to promote MEK and Maryam Rajavi as the leader of the terrorist movement against the Islamic Republic of Iran. Albanian media revealed that Pompeo was paid over 150,000 USD for his visit to the Mujahedeen camp. The Israeli lobby uses clowns like Pompeo to pressure the Biden administration against signing the Nuclear Deal with Iran. By promoting and sending Pompeo to visit the Mujahedeen camp, the Zionist lobby wants to show to the Democrats in the United States that if you do not follow our line, we can replace you with puppets like Pompeo.

7- What future do you foresee for the members of this group in Albania, and what benefit or harm can their presence in Albania have for the people and the government of this country? Have any groups opposed to the presence of these terrorist refugees in Albania taken any serious action to stop their presence in this country?

MEK will cease to exist in probably 10 years from now. Most of its members are dying from cancer and other disease. However, at present they present a serious threat to democracy and implementation of law in Albania as well as to security of Iran. Their activity as foreign fighters who want to violently wage a terrorist war against a foreign country, goes contrary to Albanian laws, its security and international obligations. Their presence in Albania, their involvement in drug and human trafficking has created a very negative image for Albania in Europe and in the world. Many European governments are worried by their presence, but they do not dare to speak against them.

Many Albanian journalists, politicians and human right activists who have spoken against MEK in the past, at present are silent. They fear for their safety since MEK does not tolerate free speech and fights in many forms its opponents. MEK has seriously undermined the freedom of press, democracy and security of Albania. However they enjoy the support of the US government and for the time being they will continue unhindered their terrorist activity from Albania.

8. As you know the terrorist group of MEK did so many criminal actions in Albania like Human and drug trafficking and even they break so many laws that one of them was doing the terrorist activities against another country while they were in Albania. To what extent and under what circumstances is it possible that a group to be expelled from the Albanian territory by the government?

For as long as Europe, Albania and the Balkans will be a US protectorate, the possibility of MEK being expelled from Albania is zero. As you might have seen from the present conflict in Ukraine, the United States does not allow the people of Europe to follow their national interests. We in Europe live under US occupation and for the time being, the only power which can expel MEK from Albania is the United States which rules over us. Albania can save itself from MEK only if the World War Three breaks between Russia and NATO and MEK will find the same fate as the Azov battalion in Ukraine or ISIS in Syria. But for the time being MEK is under US / Israeli protection. They will be in Albania for as long as Palestine will continue to be a Zionist colony and Israel will need MEK to fight against revolutionary Islam.
