Product Description
The fascinating story of the
controversial life of Camp Ashraf in Iraq from its foundation in 1986 to
the present day is told in this book. Originally created to accommodate
the Iranian opposition group Mojahedin-e Khalq (aka MEK, MKO, PMOI,
Rajavi cult) and its leader Massoud Rajavi for coordinating the violent
overthrow of the regime in Iran, Camp Ashraf became the MEK’s main
military and ideological training base. The MEK later became known as
Saddam’s Private Army as it became an integral element in the Iraqi
dictator’s repressive apparatus.
But, even years after the fall of
Saddam the MEK still has the support and backing of many in the West and
is therefore able to resist opening its doors to the outside world. It
is the hidden life inside Camp Ashraf which renders it so controversial.
The isolated garrison became the experimental ground for Rajavi to turn
his group into a dangerous, destructive mind control cult. Rajavi keeps
the rank and file in the camp in a state of modern slavery to perform
acts of terrorism and to fulfil propaganda roles in Western countries
for the group’s many masters.
Massoud Rajavi’s methods of
enthralling his followers include banning marriage and having children,
instilling irrational phobic reactions to external factors, denying any
contact with the outside world through radio, television, letters or
telephones. In particular members must have no contact with their
families. This book exposes the hidden life of the camp and its
inhabitants. It speaks for the silent victims of the Rajavi cult and for
the families who wait outside the camp for news of their loved ones.
In conclusion, the book examines
the ways to deal with the problem of how to dismantle a dangerous
destructive mind control cult and free its members as various parties
vie for control over the group for their own agendas.

INTRODUCTION
The controversial life of Camp
Ashraf from its foundation to the present day makes a fascinating story
in itself. The camp was created by Saddam Hussein in 1986 to accommodate
the Iranian opposition group Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK) and its leader
Massoud Rajavi. Founded in 1965 the MEK first took up arms to try to
oust the Shah. Two years after the 1979 Iranian revolution Rajavi tried
to engineer a coup against Ayatollah Khomeini. It failed and he fled to
Paris in 1981. Rajavi then tried to conduct his armed struggle against
the new Islamic Republic from Paris but when this failed he was given
succour in Iraq where Camp Ashraf became the MEK’s main military and
ideological training base.
The close relationship between Saddam and Rajavi led to the MEK being
dubbed Saddam’s Private Army; Camp Ashraf played an integral role in the
survival of the Iraqi dictator after the First Gulf war when Rajavi used
his forces to help crush the Kurdish and Shiite uprisings. In 2003 Camp
Ashraf became an enemy target for the Multi National Forces when
Operation Iraq Freedom removed Saddam Hussein from power. Then in a
paradoxical move the US Government provided military protection for Camp
Ashraf for eight years while its inhabitants remained on the US
Terrorism List.
Camp Ashraf came under the control of the democratically elected
Government of Iraq in January 2009 (under the Status of Forces
Agreement). After that time it was inevitable that the camp would close.
Successive Iraqi governments since 2003 insisted that the Americans
close Camp Ashraf and expel the foreign terrorist group Mojahedin-e
Khalq from the country because of the group’s history of terrible crimes
against the people of Iraq.
In the course of twenty five years Camp Ashraf has seen many changes.
But the real story of course is not about the camp but about the lives
of the people who inhabited it; how they came to be there and why they
must now leave.
In its forty five year history, the MEK organisation has undergone many
public image changes; from guerrilla fighters, resistance army,
terrorist entity to feminist democratic opposition. The man who has led
the group through all these superficial incarnations is Massoud Rajavi.
And behind the glamorous advertisements of a sophisticated and
relentless propaganda machine, his single-minded pursuit of power at any
cost and his fundamental belief in the use of violence to achieve this
aim of power, has not changed one iota in all this time.
Rajavi was a charismatic speaker and skilled psychological manipulator.
He discovered in himself a talent for totalitarian control which matched
his narcissistic ambition for power. Although he began to convert the
Mojahedin-e Khalq organisation into a cult while still in Paris, it was
the acquisition of the isolated, closed world of Camp Ashraf which
provided the perfect crucible to extend his experiment. In Camp Ashraf
he has forced the MEK members along a most extraordinary route of mental
and physical anguish to meet his needs.
Over the years former members who escaped from Camp Ashraf have told
their stories to a world unwilling or unable to listen. Thousands of
them consistently and courageously described the conditions of the
internal revolutions and Rajavi’s bizarre requirements for members to
divorce and to remove all the children from the camp; to undergo the
daily humiliations of public self-confessions which enforce the celibacy
and gender apartheid; to suffer micro-management of their every waking
moment which imposed deliberately exhausting work schedules and
disorienting indoctrination sessions; to be deprived of any information
from and contact with the outside world and their families. Rajavi did
all this to keep his members from leaving. When this failed, he
imprisoned them.
Camp Ashraf is now a double prison for the residents. They are trapped
by Rajavi’s psychological manipulations which engender paralysing fear
in everyone behind the barbed wire fences which he has had erected to
keep them physically inside. But they are trapped ultimately by the
misguided ignorance and misplaced sympathy of all those external
agencies which could take action to free them but don’t.
The life of Camp Ashraf has reached a critical juncture. It must close.
The residents must leave. But over and above Massoud Rajavi’s refusal to
leave, there are a host of third parties with their own agendas which
militate against closure. The main players are the Americans and the
Iranians who have developed their own narratives and myths around the
MEK in order to use it as a tool to aggravate and intensify their thirty
year enmity. Between the ‘bomb Iran, regime change’ pundits in America
and the ‘crackdown on foreign backed violent opposition’ proponents in
Iran, all the bases are covered.
It is these voices which dominate political debates and media reporting
on Camp Ashraf. But the political and security issues are a decoy to
avoid answering the fundamental question. After twenty five years of
testimony describing severe human rights abuses why do the individual
residents of Camp Ashraf still have no voice? Why do people continue to
escape the camp even in spite of the severe restrictions? At the time of
Saddam Hussein perhaps these questions could be ignored. But now?
The original inspiration to write the story of Camp Ashraf came from
witnessing the determination of the families of the camp’s residents to
rescue their loved ones. Since 2003 they braved bombs and bullets to
reach the gate of Camp Ashraf in the hope of finding their relatives.
They refused to give up, refused to take no for an answer. Even when the
MEK began to pelt missiles at them they refused to give up. Their
extraordinary love and courage needs to be voiced and this voice needs
to reach above the cacophony of the false hand wringing and political
wailing to those who are in a position to help.
But as the story unfolded it became obvious that the really voiceless
victims of Camp Ashraf are its residents. As the stories of individual
members emerged it was clear that many had died and many more had
suffered before their information could reach the public domain.
Currently around 3500 people continue trapped and held hostage to the
callous whims of the various pitiless powerful political forces who do
not care about their individual fates. This book must speak out on their
behalf.
This book therefore is an attempt to tell their story in the hope that
this will halt the diversion of this issue to everything else except
this fundamental question – why are people risking everything to run
away from Camp Ashraf and the MEK and why is no one listening to them?
