Generally programmed to be fervent adherents of a cult’s ideology and its defender against the outsiders, the members of a cult are under constant supervision and regular instructions and also to discover any change that might endanger the integrity of the community. Even a temporal detachment from the group can possibly deprogram them effectively and open their minds and eyes to a real world totally devoid of the lies and propagandas that had been methodically instilled into them through the brainwashing techniques.
A constant, regular monitoring technique within the cult of Mojahedin to have the mind and behavioral changes of the insiders under control is weekly confessions sessions (Jari sessions), better to call inquisition, through which members have to confess before others of their thoughts and intentions and are in fact forced to pledge allegiance to the leadership. Following critical situations and sensitive cases, it is before the leader himself rather than other subordinates that certain members have to prove their allegiance. Although people living in free, democratic world may laugh at such seemingly droll things in the modern world it is strictly practiced in most of cult particularly in the cult of Mojahedin.
Soon after the freedom of 36 MKO on the part of the Iraqi government and their settlement in camp Ashraf, the so-called Jari sessions were held for them via a telephone conference under the responsibility of Masoud Rajavi, a program aired by Mojahedin TV. There are some significant points to be noted in this regard. The behavior of the organization regarding these members was against humanity to force them take part in long sessions and interrogations despite their adverse physical conditions and the fact that some were under interrogation while lying in bed receiving medical treatment.
The fact is that bearing the conditions of these sessions is impossible even for the healthy members let alone those being one step far from death; as Maryam Rajavi said they would have died in 12 hours if they had not been released. Her claim may imply that the basic and fundamental pillars of the ideological-political survival of the organization are their organizational bastion, camp Ashraf, as well as inquisition sessions in particular to the point that they are not to be stopped under any conditions. Even those under treatment have to explain where they were, what they did, and how sincere they had been to operating Jari sessions by firm proof and evidence in the first hours of their arrival to the organization.
According to the statements made by Mrs. Soltani on suicide attacks, even two-manned teams entering Iran for accomplishing terrorist activities had to hold regular Jari sessions. In confirming her statements, it has to be pointed out that these 36 members insisted that they would hold Jari sessions among themseles under any conditions all through the course of their detention.
In no better way could the organization warn the adversaries. The airing of these inquisition sessions by Mojahedin’s TV may be considered a threat and warning particularly against the Iraqi government and officials. The organization is vigilant to observe the reaction of Iraqi officials to these programs to organize its future actions and policies. Iraqi officials are to pursue these sessions watchfully and analyze them carefully to find out the true cultic identity of Mojahedin.
Beside the paradoxical statements of these 36 individuals regarding the conditions of their imprisonment and the behavior of Iraqi government, what is apparent is the full influence of organization on these individuals. The only solution for queering this influence is separation of high rankings from the rank and files without which neither can the freedom of captive members be materialized nor can Mojahedin be expelled from Iraqi soil.
The shared point of the statements of all these 36 persons is pleasing the person in charge of Jari sessions, Masoud Rajavi. These statements focus on some points like confessing to their full dependence upon Masoud to whom they feel indebted under any conditions. The other point is their insistence on proving their loyalty to the leader and organization that guarantees their survival.
Externalizing these relations in one of the most critical periods of the organization when it is trying to attract the attention of the West has paradoxical dimensions. Although those familiar with the nature of the organization have fathomed its cultic and terrorist threat, there are still those who need to observe these aired footages and think of a way for minimizing or eliminating the threat of the organization as an unknown cult. The internal structure of the organization may imply its policy in dealing with the outside world too. It has out-and-out focus on submission and obedience toward one person as the leader at any price. The fact that all these 36 members and the audience state clearly that they are ready to die, kill, and bear hunger and thirst since their leader carries the main burden of the adverse conditions and pains may have many lessons for the outside world.
The publication of Rajavi’s own presence in the management of these sessions is of very significance and may raise some speculations. It may mean the termination of his organizational-cultic hide-out to stop the disintegration of the organization, a warning for the outsiders, or his presence in camp Ashraf and justifying the attempts of MKO members in defending Camp Ashraf and resisting to leave it. If it is so, a great part of the incidents happening inside and outside camp Ashraf may be attributed to his presence in camp Ashraf. According to RAND report, the Americans have evaded to inspect many Mojahedin facilities and it is very likely that Masoud Rajavi is settled somewhere inside Camp Ashraf.
Ileana Ros-Lehtinen under the terrorist spotlight
A U.S. representative who accused Tehran of sponsoring terrorism has a track record of supporting terrorists herself.
By now there is little doubt that hypocrisy has become Washington’s standing policy on foreign affairs. What is astounding is the lack of shame in such overt duplicity as Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen’s (R-Fla.) accusations in her Dec. 14 Times Op-Ed article that Iran is a state sponsor of terrorists — when she herself has a track record of supporting terrorists.
In February 1988, Orlando Bosch was arrested in Miami and implicated in the 1976 plot to blow up Cubana Flight 455, a terrorist act that killed 73 passengers. Joe D. Whitley, the associate U.S. attorney general at the time, called Bosch "a terrorist, unfettered by laws or human decency, threatening and inflicting violence without regard to the identity of his victims." Bosch, however, had the distinct advantage of having Ros-Lehtinen make advocating for his release one of the cornerstones of her 1989 congressional campaign. Bosch had another advantage: Ros-Lehtinen’s campaign manager was Jeb Bush, President George H.W. Bush’s son. In 1990, after lobbying by Jeb Bush and Ros-Lehtinen, the Bush administration went against the Justice Department’s recommendation to deport Bosch and authorized his release. Since then, Bosch has become a permanent resident of the United States.
Ros-Lehtinen also supports the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), a group by the State Department as a foreign terrorist group. Leading up to the Iraq war, in October 2002, Ros-Lehtinen circulated a letter in Congress expressing support for the MEK. She continues her support.
Common sense dictates that Iran would want security in its two neighboring countries given the spillover effect. By now, it is also common knowledge that the Sunni Taliban and Shiite Iran have been hostile toward each other for years (several Iranian diplomats were killed by the Taliban in 1998), and no doubt this hostility led to Iran’s decision to assist the Northern Alliance and the U.S. in efforts in the overthrow of the Taliban after the 9/11 attacks — efforts that were rewarded with the infamous "axis of evil" brand. Yet Ros-Lehtinen would insult the American public’s intelligence by telling them that Iran, without mentioning any history, has a hand in Afghanistan. Does Ros-Lehtinen ever wonder if other countries simply do not welcome occupation by any foreign force?
One has to question what motivates Ros-Lehtinen in her push to put financial sanctions on foreign and domestic companies that sell refined petroleum products to Iran. Doing so could lead to more job losses in America and more hostilities between U.S. allies and Iran. This is a time when our policy makers should be thinking about America and Americans, period.

It seems that Maryam Rajavi forgets to point out those women in her organization ,who didn’t want to divorce from their husbands, were violently treated by their female officials who were also turned into violent people with the worst behaviors towards minors under their responsibility. The violence of female high ranking officials of MKO is of the most systematic type. 
In her so-called message (on the occasion of the International Day for Elimination of Violence against Women), Maryam Rajavi says:”Systematic Violence against Women includes an infinite chain of prohibition: freedom of clothing is prohibited, divorce is forbidden, socializing without the husband’s permission is forbidden and …”
For those who are not acquainted with Rajavi’s cult-like practices, Maryam‘s cheerful, colorful clothing may seem fascinating but for the ones who have touched and tolerated MKO relationships, the organization’s practices are the most violent and the most unjust in the whole world. The following includes some examples of their cruelty:
Firstly, there are some questions to ask MKO leaders.
- Do you know any woman in Ashraf, who is allowed to remove her scarf?
- Do you know any woman in Ashraf who is free to wear clothes other than military uniform assigned by the organization to wear?
- Do you know any woman in Ashraf to believe in any religion or ideology except the ones that Rajavis dictate?
- Do you know any individual in the entire cult of Rajavi who is allowed to do any job except the one that the leaders assign?
- Do you know anybody (either male or female) who is allowed to complain about the plan or job he or she is assigned to carry out in the daily routine?
- Is any female member of MKO allowed not to attend a meeting?
And there are a lot of more questions to ask MKO leader on human rights abuses they commit in Ashraf. How can Maryam Azdanlou claim to be a defender of human rights while no woman in Camp Ashraf is allowed to wear clothes other than military uniform, no woman can walk out of her unit except with the permission of her senior official, and otherwise she will be punished.
Following their so-called ideological revolution when they forced the couples to divorce they went further and in 1991 they separated the divorced mothers from their children even newly –born babies who were sent to Europe. How can Maryam Rajavi argue about fostering laws of Islamic Republic?
Today hundreds of women are isolated and captured in the cult of Rajavi, deprived of any social, political and educational life and in the meantime ,a lot of women reached high degrees in political, social and educational scene of Iran.
And now Mrs. Rajavi, who has stopped her female members growing for more than three decades, claims that Iranian women are kept retarded! The claim comes in a condition where a large number of women of her cult are physically controlled by complicated cult-like systems, according to the testimonies made by former members, any complaint or disobedience is reacted with the worst punishments even physical types.
Nonstop work schedule the Rajavis plan for the members is another way to keep them exhausted in order to control them easier as well as constant brainwashing meetings.
In a paragraph of her message, Maryam Rajavi mentions the situation of women in Camp Ashraf although she and her fugitive husband have left them in a dangerous limbo in Iraq.
Despite the negotiations and the deadline Iraqi government has assigned for MKO to expel them from its territory ,Maryam Rajavi has repeatedly sent messages to whether directly or indirectly encourage the members to resist the decision of Iraqi government.
As former colleagues and friends of Ashraf residents, we are concerned about the condition ruling Camp Ashraf and the fate of its residents. We believe that Rajavi’s efforts to ask Western governments guarantee MKO’s presence in Ashraf, will make their condition more complicated and more dangerous!
We believe that the Rajavis’ attempts to remain in Ashraf is not to maintain the lives of Ashraf residents but to maintain their own cult-like leadership over cult members.
Europe urged to take the cult members as Muthana rejects Mojahedin khalq
Muthana // If Nouri al Maliki did not have sufficient problems managing his impoverished and war-torn country, the Iraqi prime minister continues to be plagued by an apparently impossible question involving an Iranian opposition group.
The group, the People’s Mujahadin Organisation of Iran, also known as the MEK, is unpopular inside Iraq and considered a terrorist organisation in both Washington and Tehran.
Yet Mr al Maliki finds himself in the awkward position of having no choice but to host 3,500 MEK members, currently living on a base north of Baghdad.
Saddam Hussein originally granted the Iranian fighters sanctuary when their organisation sided with him to make war on Tehran in the 1980s. After the dictator was deposed in 2003, the MEK members, by then effectively refugees but classified as terrorists by the US military, were disarmed and detained at Camp Ashraf.
In reality it was a measure taken largely for their own protection. In the new Iraq, allies of Saddam had few friends and the MEK is seen by many here – including some of those in the new ruling parties – as a tool used by Saddam for violent repression of Shiites.
The MEK, which has renounced violence, denies such allegations, but the fact remains that with Saddam Hussein no longer in power they are officially unwelcome in Iraq.
Iran has made it clear it would like to take custody of the MEK exiles, but the West has pressured Baghdad not to return them, fearing they would be arrested and persecuted by the Iranian authorities.
That has left Mr. al Maliki’s government facing irreconcilable facts.
In essence, he is now providing a safe haven for a group considered terrorists by his two closest allies, Iran and the United States, with one ally, Tehran, wanting them extradited and the other, Washington, insisting they must not be extradited.
When the Iraqi army took over lead responsibility for security this year, it was also put in charge of Camp Ashraf, to the dismay of Ashraf’s inhabitants.
In July, Iraqi units forcibly entered the camp, reneging on promises given to US commanders that they would continue to protect those living there. At least 10 MEK members were reported killed in the raids.
Under the glare of critical international publicity, and with Washington now embarrassed that the people it had been guarding were so quickly and openly abused, the attack on the MEK petered out.
A new strategy was devised and last week the Iraqi government indicated it would shut Camp Ashraf – which has over the years developed into a well-resourced small town – and move the occupants to Muthana, a sparsely populated desert province in southern Iraq.
Such a prospect was, however, resoundingly rejected by local officials in Muthana, who warned it could spark violence in what has long been one of Iraq’s most peaceful areas.
Ibrahim Salman al Mayali, the provincial governor, said he would do all he could to oppose a relocation.
“Our people will not welcome a terrorist organisation,” he said. “Saddam sent members of the MEK to stop our revolution against him in 1991 so there is that bad history between us.”
Mr al Mayali said various government officials from Baghdad had proposed setting up a site for the MEK in Muthana, and that locals had consistently refused to accept it.
“I cannot stop my people’s anger against this terrorist group,” he said. “Maybe they will want to take revenge for 1991 and attack them. I certainly could not guarantee security for the MEK here.”
A leading local tribal leader, Sheikh Resan al Myasar, also cautioned there would be violence if MEK members were sent south.
“We have not forgotten how they showed us no mercy when they crushed the uprising and so now the sons of our tribe would show them no mercy. There is malice here; the people of Muthana want to bury them with their hands.”
Amnesty International demanded a halt to any eviction from Ashraf, warning it would put MEK members at risk of arbitrary arrest, torture or murder.
“Whatever measures the Iraqi authorities decide to take with regard to the future of Camp Ashraf, the rights of all its residents must be protected and guaranteed at all times,” said
Hassiba Hadj Sahraoui, deputy director of the Middle East and North Africa programme at Amnesty International.
A spokesman for the MEK said any attempt to evict members from Camp Ashraf would be a violation of international humanitarian laws.
In a written statement, the MEK called “on the United Nations and the American government to guarantee the protection of Ashraf residents and ensure prevention of forcible relocation and a repeat of use of force and violence against them”.
The failure of the Muthana relocation attempt means the issue of the MEK remains stuck in a stalemate. No new proposals for solving the problem have yet been made.
In January the MEK was taken off of Europe’s list of terrorist organisation, raising hopes the Ashraf matter might be dealt with by granting residents asylum in the European Union.
Member states have so far refused to let that happen, however.

One of the most basic human rights ,according to all international human rights conventions and statements, is freedom of speech and expression that the self-assigned president of National Council of Resistence, Maryam Rajavi always claims to believe in, condemning IRI “for restrictions on freedom of peaceful assembly and association and freedom of opinion and expression.” (Maryam Rajavi,Nov.20th,2009 addressed committee of UN General Assembly)
When in November 2009, along with her propaganda campaign she goes to Norway Parliament, again she repeats her pro-democratic slogans using gestures of a human right defender; what kind of freedom does she believe in?!
Exactly on the same month, on Nov.28th,2009 while a group of former members of MKO are holding a protest demonstration in Cergy, France, to protest against the presence of Maryam Rajavi in that country, the agents of the destructive cult of Rajavi attack the protesters, hitting them on the face and eyes. The physical clashes end when the police intervene.
The reaction of MKO towards such a small normal and political action is not fat from their long history of violence, terror and suppression. The only approach of MKO to respond its dissidents and critics have always been the physical removal of them at any price.
Today MKO leaders who are going on a declining situation and have never accepted the reality and instead have always gone on the wrong way, have to resort on violence and suppression against their dissidents in or out of the cult. This is exactly what is called terrorism; using illegal behaviors and violent acts to suppress dissidents and to terrify or threaten them.
It is silly to believe that MKO leaders can stop their critics from criticizing them since their dissidents including their former members never stopped criticizing them even when they were captured in the organizational bars of the cult, now that they are residing democratic countries, they use any opportunity to denounce the terrorist cult that destroyed a long period of their life.
Such violent acts committed by MKO brainwashed members, before the eyes of European citizens like those of Cergy Val d’Oise, cause a huge question on the claims of Maryam Rajavi who introduces herself as a pro-democratic ,human activist. Also the public opinion and supporters of human rights will take into consideration the risk of presence of a violent political cult in Europe.

The most demonstrative and horrifying about a dangerous terrorist cult is the unexpected. As it never feels any responsibility, respects no regulation and adheres to no ethics concerning its insiders and outsiders it can be an instant blast of catastrophe. The July arrest of 36 MKO members by the Iraqi police that faced it with violent and threatening reactions of the organization has been the latest psychological-media project of Mojahedin in latest few months. The consequent general showy hunger strike of sympathizers and members as well as some advocators in the European cities and camp Ashraf are an indication of uncivil and aggressive actions of MKO to engage in to counteract the constraints imposed on the organization.
The world never forgets the horrible cultic self-immolations in June 003 following the arrest of Maryam Azdanlu by the French police . The main question put to the organization is that how long is the organization to solve its legal and political problems by is means of cultic and uncivil solutions and procedures.
Referring to the Iraqi President’s latest remarks concerning the relocation of the organization to a camp near Baghdad, the organization made no hesitation to state that “Maliki’s repeated fallacious claims against the residents of Asharaf are merely a justification for further criminal actions against them”. Was really the release of those arrested culprits who had violated the rules of their host country a criminal act? Or requiring them peacefully and under the auspices of the world’s protective organizations and media presence a justification for further criminal actions against the group?
Based on any country’s laws and regulations, it has the right to counteract any threats to ensure the security of its nationals especially when a country like Iraq is facing a rife internal chaos. The same incidents and violations may happen in any country and the rules of that particular country are the criteria for convicting wrongdoers. However, Mojahedin insist to turn the same case into a major crisis since they are not hew to any civil law and regulation but their own cultic and reactionary doctrine. According to the history of the organization, Mojahedin have never submitted to any law in such occasions and rather they have broken national and international rules using uncivil and aggressive procedures. Furthermore, it always attempts to accuses its opponents and put the blame on them.
In this regard they resort to some levers and instruments as was seen in the process of arrest and freedom of 36 MKO members. In the events of June 2003 and arrest of Maryam Azdanlu, the victims of self-immolations were the levers of organization. Likewise, in recent events the hunger strikers in camp Ashraf and European countries have formed the main lever of the organization in facing the challenges. It seems that it is not significant how many members are to be victimized this time since it is willed by the organization leadership, this process may lead to the death of some members. What is of importance is that Iraqi officials are recommended not to submit to illegal demands of Mojahedin as did Americans and other human rights organizations and are to find a political solution inside Iraqi soil that is undoubtedly time-consuming.
On the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, Maryam Rajavi published a message that included a lot of slogans on what she wants to do in the future Iran but her claims are exactly the opposite of what she really believes in and how she really acts.
Although she uses such slogans in Europe as her ideals, Camp Ashraf represents a pattern of the society Rajavi wants to establish in Iran. The study of Rajavi’s treatments towards her members reveals that her slogans are her deceitful, political tools to deceive public opinion in the West.
In the first part of her message she introduces herself as a savior who has practiced human rights in Camp Ashraf and now is ready to ascertain human rights in Iran. She asks for freedom and equality for men and women while she manages the worst and the most inhumane relationship in her organization.
The cult-like fascism ruling Ashraf has long been denounced by defected members of the organization to the world including international human right bodies like Red Cross and Human Rights Watch that published a report on human right abuses committed in Camp Ashraf, in 2005. This 36-page report titled “No Exit” reveals the abuses in MKO Camps based on testimonies of former members.
The page 14 of the report reads:”Human Rights Abuses carried out by MKO leaders against dissident members ranged from prolonged incommunicado and solitary confinement to beatings, verbal and psychological abuse, coerced confessions, threat of execution and torture that in two cases led to death.”
How one can believe Maryam Rajavi’s claims while the most basic human rights of Ashraf residents are violated by the cult leaders. Unfortunately while we are in the 21st century Rajavi has deprived a large number of men and women from their basic rights to live a normal life.
In a paragraph of her message Maryam Rajavi says:” the experience of fundamentalists’ rule in Iran shows they have used systematic violence and suppression against women to suppress the society as a whole. General crack down rests on misogyny and this is the source of regime’s survival.”
However, the organizational relationship in MKO is full of such injustice and inequalities.
When her so-called ideological revolution defeated during the last decades, she had to multiply injustice trying to dominate the excessive hegemony of women over the cult. Thus, the moral and social relations went on declining in Ashraf.
The women who (due to any reason) soon submitted to divorce from their husbands were considered as the criterion of the revolution (revolution of divorce!) so they were assigned as the high ranking responsibles of the ideology. Actually they are given a false personality which is far from social, political and even organizational positions. They are used as a controllable lever to suppress the dissidents and to achieve the dirty goals of cult leaders.
Maryam Rajavi declares a greater contradiction when she speaks of sexual apartheid, claiming that “hostility against women and destruction of their lives, identity and freedom … are components of a sexual apartheid system ruling Iran”.
The system of sexual apartheid has its exactly obvious example in Mujahedin Khalq Organization. Particularly since 1988, revolution of divorce, MKO leaders ruled the organization with the most sexist ideas.
Maryam tries to show off as a defender of women’s rights, while the Middle-Aged relationships ruling her cult, are destroying any equality and justice. There is numerous a crucial question to ask Mrs. Maryam Rajavi:
Isn’t it the destruction of their lives to force women to divorce and to separate them from their children?
According to various documents and testimonies of former members there are a lot of young girls who are depressed because they are deprived of visiting their parents. The depression led a girl named Alan Mohammadi to shoot herself. This is the significant example of destruction of woman’s life and freedom in MKO.
The heavy organizational pressure and peer pressure on members, especially female members of the cult of Rajavi have led many other people to death so far. They committed suicide because they couldn’t bear the cult atmosphere any more.
There have been also some others who set themselves on fire after Maryam was arrested by French Police since they were ordered to sacrifice themselves.
These are just some small examples of huge injustice in the cult of Rajavi.
To be continued
The Iraqi government has confirmed that it will transfer the residents of Ashraf Camp to an unknown place in Baghdad or to a prison as the Mojahedin Khalq Organization has made it known through released news. The organization also states that transfer of its Ashraf Camp from Diala province to Baghdad violates all international calls and that it denounces claims of an agreement with the Iraqi government in this regard. Does the Iraqi Government actually needs confirmation of a terrorist group and arriving at any agreement to expel or relocate it to any place to have full control over it? Some may be of the opinion that long nurtured by Saddam Hussein and receiving supports by America after its invasion to recognize its members as refugees has emboldened the group to take a hostile attitude against any legal decision by Iraq.
But it seems that even Americans have lost their interest in the group since they may be accountable for any reaction by the group to protest its relocation as it did in July when the Iraqi police decided to establish a controlling post inside the camp. An evidence to present that US remains impartial, and putting the responsibility all on the Iraqi Government, is when the State Department spokesman in a press briefing gave details about the announcement by Iraqi Prime Minister Nori Al-Maliki of intentions to relocate or deport the Iranian dissidents at Camp Ashraf.
"QUESTION: On Iraq, Camp Ashraf, the Iranian opposition, says that the Iraqis are going to move them next Tuesday, I think. Are you going to try and use your influence with the Iraqis not to move them? The opposition says there’ll be bloodshed if they do attempt to do that.
MR. KELLY: Well, I think what we would do, first and foremost, is to urge the Iraqi authorities to conduct any such relocation with the residents of Camp Ashraf, that it be done in a lawful and humane way. They’ve made clear to us, to the Government of the U.S., that they do plan to do this. And this is entirely an Iraqi planned initiative. And as I said before, we’d expect this be carried out in a humane way.
We have, all along, recognized Iraqi sovereignty over the entire territory of Iraq, including the area where Camp Ashraf is located. And as I think we’ve said before, the Government of Iraq has assured us that they would not deport any of these citizens to any country where they would — if you have a well-rounded fear of being treated inhumanely.
So we — I mean, we’re engaging the Government of Iraq. Diplomatically, we respect Iraqi sovereignty. But of course, we’re making it clear that we would expect these – the residents of Camp Ashraf to be treated well and with respect.
The underlying truth in his response is that the United States deems the Mojahein Khalq a registered terrorist organization on its list notwithstanding its removal by judicial judgments from Britain’s list of terrorist organizations and from that of the EU. And of course it seems that the US has taken the right side since the organization has recently warned about any attempt to force its insiders from Ashraf and the US is among the firsts that were and are well aware of the group’s potentiality in waging violence to counteract moves by the Iraqi Government. Also to influence the public opinion, it has hired people to spread rumors of being relocated to notorious places that might jeopardize the life and security of its members.
Accounted by Allan Gerson, one of the advocates of the organization presently involved with other attorneys in representing it in its efforts to be removed from the U.S. List of Foreign Terrorist Organizations, the group is the subject of an appeal to be heard by the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington DC on January 12th. But what is he much concerned about is relocation of Ashraf residents to a place where he reveals to be Neqrat as-Salman, referring to it as a desolate military prison and as Iraq’s most feared prison after Abu Ghraib that has been used since 1921 for detaining mostly political prisoners.
For sure, there is no ambiguity in the case of Mojahedin Khalq; it is a proven terrorist organization and has to leave the country that is determined to remove the last remnants of a notorious dictator whose adherents are still embroiling the country in disorder and civil war that is taking many lives every day.
After nearly thirty years residing in Iraq , finally it seems despite of fruitless and futile efforts by cult’s leaders , the stronghold of Rajavi’s cult will be shut down and dismantled for good by popular Iraqi government, and decades of treason and crime against Iraqi and Iranian people will come to end at last.
The Iraqi government has decided to expel the remnant of Saddam’s suppressive forces, PMOI, from its soil according to its national sovereignty and constitution which is a fair and square decision . The first step is to shut down the Ashraf Garrison and transfer all the residents to the remote location which is called “Naqreh Salman” in southern part of Iraq. Iraq with its new and popular government after the fall of its savage dictator , Saddam Hussein, cannot tolerate and bear the existence of such criminals and saddam’s complicit on its soil anymore.
The leaders of this notorious and barbaric cult(Rajavi’s cult) have been terrified by Iraqi government decision upon shutting down the cult’s stronghold in Iraq, because they are perfectly aware that shutting down of their stronghold in Iraq will affect directly upon the cult’s headquarter in Paris which controls and manipulates minds of all those stranded and stuck victims in Ashraf garrison. Ashraf garrison in Iraq has been the heart and Maryam Rajavi’s headquarter in Paris is the brain of this cult, so while the heart stops working and pumping blood to the brain , brain will die.
The cult’s leaders are fully aware that dismantling and shutting down of their notorious garrison in Iraq ,will have harsh and severe consequences in their cult and put an end to the survival of this cult for good , consequently they will resort to inhumane tactics such as “self burning and self immolation” to avert and prevent it. Self immolation and self burning have been the road map and pressure leverage of this cult whenever the cult leaders feel harassed and pestered by outsiders.
They will react severely and harshly and they use their inhumane tactics to confront and deal with their problems and conflictions as they did in the past. The French people have not forgotten self burning and self immolation of a number of PMOI’s brainwashed and deceived victims who set themselves on fire to put pressure on French government to release their cult leader , Maryam Rajavi, from French police custody in 2003.
The essence of this cult rules while the entity of this cult is in danger , the leaders of this cult instruct self immolation of their rank and file in order to rescue themselves from the crisis which they have stuck and stranded in it. Like a scorpion which is surrounded by fire and finds no way out of fire to rescue itself, it stings itself to death , but in this cult the rank and file should pay the price and victimize themselves in order to rescue their leaders from justice.
We have seen and witnessed a number of these inhumane methods such as self burning, hunger strike, and the like, which the cult leaders have imposed upon their victims during past decades.
The only way to stop and put an end to all these brutal and barbaric methods in this cult which has taken numerous lives is to shut down and dismantle the notorious Ashraf- garrison and allow the stranded victims of this cult who have been trapped in this cult for decades to breathe and inhale freedom which has been taken from them by the cult leaders for a long period of time .
The victims who have lost everything they had in their lives and the majority of those victims lost their loved ones without knowing it ,because having any connection with their families was completely forbidden and restricted, any sentiment in this cult toward any member of family was considered as a deadly sin and crime against the well being of the cult leaders.
The members should have sacrificed their love and affection to their families and loved ones just to show their dedication and devotion toward their cultic leaders. Being dedicated and devoted to their supreme leaders , Massoud and Maryam Rajavi, they had to be brain washed and indoctrinated which was implemented via horrendous and terrifying sessions and cultic rituals by the members of governing council under direct supervision of the spiritual leaders of the cult.
All those victims who have been captives and hostages for decades in the hands of the cult’s spiritual leaders need to be rescued from that hell hole ,Ashraf garrison, as soon as possible to breathe and inhale freedom and find their real humane essence after all . The only way to do so is to shut down and dismantle the garrison which carries the curse of history on its name for ever.
I hope such human catastrophe and exploitation which occurred in that cultic garrison never happen for anyone else again. Believe me no one should go through the horrendous and tragic experiences which we went through in Rajavi’s cult.
Respectfully
