Collusion Against Ehsan Bidi . Corrupt Albanian Officials And MEK
Posted on: 2020/08/14
Ebrahim Khodabandeh, Iran Interlink, August 14 2020:… There was news from some people in the Albanian security apparatus that there was a conspiracy against Bidi. (Bidi is a former member of the MEK – aka Rajavi cult – which operates an extraterritorial, extrajudicial base inside Albania.) Since Ehsan Bidi had not complied with the demands of the security forces during this year, despite intense pressure, they had planned another project. Information emerged that they would first release him, then kidnap him and transfer him to an unknown location, and then express their ignorance about his fate after his release.

Nejat Society Nationwide Gathering – Report
Posted on: 2020/07/19
Nejat Society, July 19 2020:… Khodabandeh then referred to the Rajavi cult’s response, saying that the Rajavi response to the request, like all destructive cults, was base obscenity, slander and insult. He cited the example of a mother who has not heard the voice of her son – who had one day joined the MEK for some reason – for more than 30 years. He explained that for years this mother has been writing in various forms and by letter to whoever it occurred to her that she could, and that she had asked only for a call from her son. But after all this, the Rajavi cult brought the son to their television, and instead of a few kind words that would make his mother happy, the son started swearing at his mother and called her a mercenary, terrorist and even a “so-called mother.” Nejat Society Nationwide Gathering – Report

Terrorists Don’t Need Albanian Visas ; Petition Signatures reach 6000
Posted on: 2020/04/30
Ebrahim Khodabandeh, Nejat Society, April 30 2020:… A few days after the campaign was launched, the MEK fearfully reacted on April 23, 2020 in its website ‘Iran Probe’ with a lengthy article titled: “Iranian regime is campaigning for Albanian entry visas for its terrorists”. The article is a stream of fabricated lies trying to persuade the Albanians not to issue visas for the families. This shows how much the presence of the families is a nightmare for Massoud and Maryam Rajavi, the cult leaders. Terrorists Don’t Need Albanian Visas ; Petition Signatures reach 6000
Over 800 MEK Families Petition Albanian PM Edi Rama For Access
Posted on: 2020/04/27
Nejat Society, Tehran, April 27 2020:… Please answer why the Albanian authorities, in cooperation with the Rajavi cult, are preventing families from communicating with their loved ones? Why has the Albanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs ordered all its embassies not to issue visas to Iranians so that families would not be able to travel to your country? The level of cooperation of the Albanian government – which aspires to join the European Union – with a terrorist cult, is shocking. I look forward to hearing from you and, of course, I am sending this open letter to international, European and Albanian authorities, as well as to the human rights bodies and the media.
