Ali Einakian;Joining and leaving Mujahedin – Part 2

When I was released from Rajavi’s prison and found myself in free world, I was still mentally captured by Rajavi’s indoctrinations so all the timeI was challenging myself on the decision I had made. After some time when I saw Iraqis’ warm behavior, I changed my mind that had been manipulated by Rajavi for years. MKO leader had always tried to make a terrible enemy out of Iraqi new government..Now I am able to realize what is really going on in the world. It’s true that Rajavi stole 25 years of my life and now I’m not young anymore but I can use my experience..

Interview with Alireza Einakian, MKO former member- Part2

..The organization tells UNAMI that the members are afraid of their coming to Ashraf and in this way the commandants prevent UNAMI’s access to rank and file members. I think that UNAMI officials should contact MKO’s low-ranking member outside Camp Ashraf so the members feel comfortable to talk to them. Once UNAMI had installed a station in Camp Ashraf, MKO/MEK/PMOI had also installed an inspection station in order to stop members going to UNAMI station. Today UNAMI has no office in Ashraf…

Interview with Alireza Einakian, MKO former member- Part1

..To bar the members from runaway, they control all departures and arrivals to the complex at night. You cannot simply leave the building. On the other side, the commandants have some control systems to control members, especially low-ranking members. The control is particularly heightened in collective ceremonies.

Interview with Mahmoud Dashtestani – Part3

You can never ask about two things in MKO. Money and Massoud Rajavi….Ashraf is a symbol in the Rajavi’s cult..The psychological atmosphere ruling Ashraf has been created in a way that you never let such questions cross your mind….

Interview with Mahmoud Dashtestani– Part1

now that I am in Iran, if you ask me how I feel, I tell you that I have one precious thing here; freedom. Here, my mind, my sole, my emotions, my feelings, my life are free. I am free to choose what to eat, what to wear, where to go.

Who dares to criticize MKO?

The MKO is going on the same way that led the Soviet Union to its collapse. Totalitarian organizations believe that absolute truth belongs to themselves so they should fight any person or group who do not accept their strategy and ideology.

Member – Leader relationship within MKO cult

The internal relation in MKO/MEK/PMOI has been based on “ambition” and “obedience” as the two faces of same coin. The “ambitions” of leaders lead to “obedience” of members. Such a notorious relationship makes a horrifying network of terror and cult-like practices. .Long term membership in such a cult paralyzes logic and common sense of individuals and paves the way for manipulative practices …member becomes an automatic machine which works under the leader’s order. Thus they are always prepared to be sent for suicide operations.
