PMOI Releases the Names of Mojahedin Arrested and Missing in Tehran

The People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) has published the names of its fighters who were either arrested or went missing during the historic operation on the headquarters of the regime’s supreme leader on February 23. In a bid to secure their safety and prevent further regime atrocities, the PMOI has formally submitted this list to the United Nations Special Rapporteur and other relevant international authorities. Terrified of the vast domestic and international implications of the operation, the Iranian regime has deliberately refused to announce the names of any detainees or martyrs. This silence is a desperate attempt to cover up the scale of the operation and mask the unprecedented vulnerabilities of the regime’s security apparatus on the ground. In response to this cover-up, the PMOI has repeatedly called on the UN Special Rapporteur and representatives of international human rights organizations to be permitted to meet with the arrested fighters and to visually inspect the bodies of the martyrs. Additionally, the PMOI announced on February 25 that two professional cameramen, whose sole mission was to document the operation, are among the missing. Their names and professional details have also been forwarded to the relevant international bodies.

From the early hours of the morning until the afternoon, PMOI fighters engaged in heavy clashes with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) directly around the headquarters of the regime’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei. While over 100 Mojahedin fighters were martyred or arrested, an astounding 150 fighters who had successfully taken positions in the second security perimeter of Khamenei’s headquarters safely returned to their bases by midnight. The scale of the operation was deeply humiliating for the regime. The target was the highly fortified Motahari Complex, an area measuring roughly 620 by 770 meters that houses the supreme leader’s headquarters, the office and residence of Mojtaba Khamenei, the Supreme National Security Council, the central judiciary office, the Assembly of Experts, and the Ministry of Intelligence’s central office. The compound is guarded by nearly 8,000 personnel, including the IRGC Vali-e Amr Protection Corps and the Ansar al-Mahdi Corps. It is surrounded by four-meter-high reinforced concrete walls topped with metal anti-drone and anti-projectile barriers. Despite these defenses, the fighters managed to disable several of the complex’s rotating surveillance cameras at dawn with assistance from individuals inside the headquarters, inflicting heavy casualties on the enemy and forcing ambulances to move in and out of the compound under heavy escort until noon.
