The US State Department’s report refers to the terrorist nature of MKO and their cultist doctrine: Rajavi, who heads the Mojahedin’s political and military wings, has fostered a cult of personality around himself.
According to Nejat Society correspondent, four other people defected MKO and repatriated. The four defectors, who were MKO members for a long time, spent a few weeks in TIPF Camp and finally could return Iran with Red Cross cooperation.
