Dashamir Mersuli, head of the ASILA Association that accepts and helps deserters from the MEK camp in Manza, said in the studio of the show "The Unexposed" that until today about 500 Iranians have left the mujahedin camp and that the conditions there are very difficult for the members simple, while the ruling caste lives in luxury.
Studio chat:
Mersuli: The association was created to help and support Iranians who have left the MEK camp in recent years. The stories told by Mr. Hamid Atabai are a small part of the stories I have heard about life, dog life, I would call it, inside the MEK camp.
The incentive I had to help them was the loss of my brother's life in exile, and I thought that the health and family needs of these people who had left the MEK camp could not be met with individual aid from Albanian generosity. but an organization was needed to solve their problems and this forced us to respond to this reality. ASILA is a non-religious and non-political association, but in aid of MEK defectors.
Rakipi: How many deserters are there from the MEK camp?
Mersuli: It could be about 500, but some of them have left for other European countries, but the ASILA association has about 30 Iranians, 6 of whom live with Albanian girls, two couples have given birth to their first Albanian-Iranian children. They live in comfortable conditions. 14 of them are employed in mattress factories, car washes, and services. There are others in Tirana. All 30 Iranians who are in the ASILA association suffer from diseases of the digestive system, which shows that they have also suffered for bread there in the MEK, while the ruling caste has lived a luxurious life.
Rakipi: Are there other people who want to leave?
Mersuli: Their wishes to leave are many, the biggest wish is for their families and in Iran I have met ladies who have not communicated with their families for 30-40 years, but being in this camp , which I would call a high security prison, the possibility of family communication is minimal. ASILA has faced the MEK because it is considered by them an oasis that welcomes and helps those who flee. In Tirana there are also other Iranians who are not members of the association who are under great pressure from the MEK, up to death threats and being told that they will be arrested by the Albanian police when they came to ASILA. We have been attacked by the MEK, as happened at the book fair in Durrës. They are violent, in gen.
