Human Rights Repression, MEK’s Main Achievement

The People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI) is a paramilitary organization that began operations in Iran in 1965. After the victory of the Iranian Islamic Revolution in 1979, this organization claimed that the Islamic Revolution of Iran was accomplished because of this group. They did not win in any election and for this reason, they tried to take their revenge on the people and began waging conflicts against the Islamic Republic of Iran in 1981.

The PMOI carries out many terrorist acts against the Islamic Republic. It carries out large and small terrorist operations. In all, more than 17,000 Iranians were assassinated by the PMOI. The most important of the PMOI's attacks was the bombing of the Prime Minister's office and the office of the Islamic Republic of Iran party. President Mohammad Ali Rajaie, Prime Minister Mohammad Bahonar, and the head of the Supreme Court of the Islamic Republic of Iran were martyred in these two attacks. The PMOI fled from Iran to Iraq, and with the support of Saddam Hussein, the dictator of Iraq took up arms against its own country and took part in two operations against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

After the ceasefire between Iran and Iraq, the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI), backed by Saddam Hussein's equipment, attacked Iran with the aim of conquering Tehran within a few days. On arrival in Iran, this group committed heinous acts such as setting people on fire and hanging them. This organization now sees itself as the human rights claimant and the alternative to Iran and tries with all its might and by all means to attack the Islamic Republic of Iran.

At the end of Saddam Hussein's reign over Iraq, after around 25 years of presence in Iraq, with the financial support of certain Arab countries and the direct support of the Americans, the PMOI was expelled from Iraq and settled in Albania. This organization tries to present a new definition of itself to the world community by maintaining the appearance of individual freedoms, protecting human rights, or protecting women's rights within the organization. In its new image, WIPO is trying to show that issues such as human rights are of great importance to it.

In the definition of human rights, we have: Human rights are the set of fundamental and inherent rights that every person enjoys as a human being. Consequently, they belong to all people everywhere in the world, and no one can be deprived of human rights simply because of the geographical area in which they live, while all people, regardless of factors such as race, nationality, gender, etc., enjoy these rights equally and identically, and no one is superior to another in this respect. These rights include the legal rights or natural rights that exist in national and international laws. This definition, which is like a rule, can be used to measure the adherence of countries and groups such as the People's Mojahedin Organization to the Human Rights rule.

From the beginning of its existence to the present day, this organization pretends and claims to respect human rights worldwide and constantly attacks others on suspicion of human rights violations and justifies its actions in this respect, yet it does not emphasize the destruction of the fundamental rights of its own members and their opponents.

The PMOI frequently violates human rights without admitting a single case of human rights violation. In the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran, no one has the right to leave. No one has the right to separate from political life and lead a simple life. Within the PMOI, members are like slaves who must pay the price of their wrong choices for the rest of their lives, and endure such an eternal prison, alive or dead. No one has the right to secretly or openly oppose the orders and actions of the organization's leaders. Any opposition is severely repressed. According to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the People's Mojahedin Organization is defined as an "independent organization", within which those who oppose and criticize the organization are transferred to prisons and torture centers. People who criticize the People's Mojahedin Organization are harassed, beaten, terrorized both morally and physically, inside and outside Camp Ashraf. The People's Mojahedin and their leaders portray critical and isolated members of this group as spies of the Islamic Republic of Iran, simply because they have criticized them or told a story that did not please the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI).

With this regard, any defected member who criticizes this organization or does anything against the will of the PMOI leadership is considered an enemy, and according to the PMOI leadership's order, shedding the blood of such people is an organizational order, even if it's on the streets of a European country. Massoud and Maryam Rajavi, the leaders of the PMOI, have stated on numerous reports by defected members that they mention dissidents and isolated individuals who have carried out activities against the PMOI are worse than the IRGC and the Ministry of Intelligence of the Islamic Republic. They ordered all PMOI members: "Go after them, wherever you find them, kill them by all means and stand over their corpses until the police arrive. Don't be afraid, European prisons are star hotels that you will certainly enjoy."

Within the PMOI, no one is allowed to marry or have a family. According to Massoud and Maryam Rajavi, in the process of ideological revolution, the family is like poison, a great obstacle. A person who has come to join the Mujahedin and considers himself a member of the PMOI does not recognize anyone else, he does not know his father, mother, children, sisters and brothers anymore, except for the organization's leaders and colleagues. In this regard, quoting the Bible and the Koran, and comparing himself and Maryam Rajavi with Jesus Christ and Mary, Massoud said, "Whoever loves his family more than me is not worthy of me." In the People's Mojahedin Organization, for members, even thinking about home and family is considered a crime. Inquisition, including the weekly bath meeting, the current operations meeting, and mass meetings, is a means of destroying individual freedoms. Within the People's Mojahedin Organization, no one is allowed to study science or even learn a foreign language. No one is allowed to have a personal device such as a cell phone or computer and communicate freely with the outside world. No one is allowed to call their family members. A few people who were able to contact their families from the Mojahedin base were accused of espionage, then condemned and sentenced to death on Rajavi's orders. As the defected women say, there are no borders to the sexual abuse of women. Some of the defected women spoke of the grave violation of human rights, and some spoke of sleeping together under the name of ideological revolution with Massoud Rajavi. Now, how can we believe the slogan of protecting human rights and individual freedoms in this organization with these actions that exist in the history of this organization.
