Repatriation

Mr. Ali Asghar Babapour joined his family after 27 years of captivity within the destructive cult of Mujahedin-e Khalq.

Babapour family as well as cult defectors and families of MKO hostages welcomed Aliasghar at Nejat Society office, Mazandaran.

Mr. Babapour said:”I should thank my family who came to Camps Ashraf and Liberty several times to visit me. I am very joyful that I managed to liberate myself from the damned Cult of Rajavi and returned to my family. I also thank you accepting me within Nejat Society families’ meeting. I wish to see all hostages of Rajavis’ criminal Cult, being free.”

Mr. Varshi defected the Mojahedin- e Khalq group and managed to run away the Cult after 27 years.

Ashur Varshi now resides in a hotel in Baghdad, Iraq. As soon as he stepped the free world, Ashur called his brother; Ghorban. He introduced himself and said that he was free, living in a hotel in Baghdad. His brother was shocked and couldn’t stop crying. The Varshi family were really happy they could hear Ashur’s voice after nearly three decades.

Ashur asked to talk to his parents. He said that he missed his mother a lot. Unfortunately his parents were dead while he was captive of MKO Cult.

Varshi joined the MKO 27 years ago. As a 19–year–old teenager his ideal was the overthrow of the Islamic Republic through armed struggle. But ultimately, the totalitarian and manipulative system of the group made him leave it. ”After 27 years of companionship with the group, I was threatened to death (by Alireza Budaqchi under the pseudonym of Ahad) just because I had said that the leader’s arguments were not realistic,” Varshi writes. “He [Ahad] used to pressure me to praise the leader’s words.”

Ashur who was labeled an anti-leader agent, was eventually supervised all the time. ”There was an absolutely suppressive atmosphere,” he recounts.” I was repeatedly summoned by them; and I was faced with mental torture in order to stop criticizing the group.”

Mohammadpur was imprisoned during the Iran-Iraq War in 1988   . He missed 27 years of his life within the Cult of MKO camps in Iraq. In 2014 he was transferred to Albania along with some other MKO members following the Albanian government accepted to receive some MKO members in Tirana under the request of the US.

In Albania he managed to liberate himself from the Cult boundaries. On Monday, June 15 Mr. Mohammadpur returned to his homeland and visited his family for the first time after about 27 years.

Another dissociated member of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization, Mr. Sadeq Khavari returned home after years of imprisonment in the cult of Rajavi. He was warmly welcomed by his loving family.

On Thursday, January 12nd, 2012, Nejat Society Office in Gilan had the honor to wecome a recently released prisoner of the Rajavis. Nejat office Gilan branch hopes the massive release of all dissident members of the MKO who are held hostage in Camp Ashraf.

The welcome meeting lasted two hours. A number of family members of Mr. Sadeq Khavari including his parents, brothers and sisters had come to receive their beloved warmly.

Mohammad Rostami escaped the cult of Rajavi on sep.17, 2011 after twenty-two years of membership in the MKO.

He met his parents on November 4^th after years of separation. The Rostamis hugged and kissed their son warmly with tearful eyes. Other families picketing in front of Camp Ashraf witnessed the emotional scene, congratulating the Rostamis for visiting their beloved son after twenty-three years. 

Two former members of the cult of Rajavi (Mujahedin Khalq Organization) who have recently escaped Camp Ashraf were welcomed at Nejat Society Mazandaran Branch on Tuesday, September 20th. Mr. Mohammad Reza Goli Eskardi and Mr. Ein allah shabani met their families at Nejat office where some other families of MKO captives were present, they wished the release of their loved ones held in the Camp under the rule of Rajavi’s dictatorship.

Families of the two MKO defectors were really moved by visiting their loved ones after years of separation. Mr. Shaabani and Mr. Eskardi also expressed their pleasure for their return to their families reminding others that their loved children in Camp Ashraf seriously need their support and help in order that they can release themselves from Ashraf “prison”.

They also briefly described the horrible situation and mental pressure their ex-comrades at Camp Ashraf were trapped in. The two defectors requested the families of Nejat to make efforts to help release their loved ones before the deadline Iraqi authorities have assigned for MKO departure.

Appreciating the cooperation of Nejat Society and families, they expressed their readiness to help with salvation of their former friends held as hostages in MKO.

Accompanied by their families, they went home at the end of the meeting.

On Monday September19, Mr. Darius Balafkandeh joined his family, Nejat Society, Gilan branch reported. Mr. Balafkandeh was warmly welcomed by his family who were awaiting his return for years.

Embraced by his mother, he said with watery eyes:

“The MKO is nothing but a liar. Since the moment I decided to flee the strictly controlled system of Rajavi, I tried to reach Iraqi forces protecting Camp Ashraf with great difficultly. I was welcomed by families picketing in front of camp Ashraf. I have to say bravely that when I faced Iranian officials at the Embassy in Iraq, I was surprised to see their humanly kind treatment toward me. I found out that I had been influenced by Rajavi’s indoctrination and forced presence in the group. I had only heard lies during those years. I am really embarrassed now.”

Darius’s mother was really moved by visiting her son after many years of waiting. She was crying kissing and hugging her son. She was thankful to the God for she could see her beloved son before her death. She hoped that other families could be able to see the return of their loved children to home and motherland.
