Somayeh Mohammadi

Somayeh Mohammadi (), born (8 September 1980), is an Iranian woman and a member of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK). She has received media coverage concerning controversy about her membership in the MEK.

According to her father, Mostafa Mohammedi, a former MEK member, Somayeh is being held hostage by MEK, but she publicly denies these claims and has filed a lawsuit against him. Somayeh claims that her father is an undercover agent of Iran. According to Somayeh, she joined the MEK voluntarily in 1998 "seeking freedom and democracy for Iran."

Somayeh lives in MEK headquarters - , previously in Iraq and now in Albania. She emigrated from Iran to Canada with her family in 1994. Since 1997, her parents claim to have been attempting to bring her home. Somayeh had gone to Iraq to visit Camp Ashraf in 1997, never returning to Canada. According to her father, the MEK kidnapped his daughter from Canada when she was a teenager, when they convinced him to allow his daughter for a two-week training camp in Iraq, but she and her brother never returned. According to ''The Guardian'', "the MEK insists Somayeh does not wish to leave the camp, and released her letter accusing her father of working for Iranian intelligence." According to Somayeh Mohammadi's lawyer, the Albanian prosecution rejected to take the case because Somayeh said she was not being kept in the MEK against her will. The lawyer also said that she and her family had been threatened by unknown people online for representing Somayeh Mohammadi. Provided by Wikipedia
