Female defector officially declared her defection from the MKO

Sahar Adibzadeh denounced the Mujahedin Khalq Organization after she left the group’s camp in Iraq in 2015. She officially declared her defection from the group via Women Association Website on September 18^th, 2018.

Sahar 39, was recruited by the MKO when she was in her 20s. “I was deceived by the group’s propaganda and trusted them,” she said.

She is now determined to launch her human rights activities in order to help release those who are still forced to stay in the Cult of Rajavi.

Adibzadeh has previously published parts of her memoirs of working with the group and living in its cult-like structure. However, she will appear on Mardom TV to publicly announce her defection from the cult. “Whoever who has defected the Cult of Rajavi should publicly denounce the group in order to stop any abuse by the side of the group,” she told Women Association.

She describes the suffocating atmosphere of Camp Ashraf as place where women are forced to wear uniforms with strict hijab; there are no children and all members are single. “I wondered why those women looked so sad!” Sahar said.

After experiencing the life inside Ashraf, the MKO collapsed in Sahar’s mind. “Gradually I found out that they had nothing to offer,” she added.

Five female members defected the Cult of Rajavi

Five female members of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO/ MEK/ PMOI/ the Cult of Rajavi) escaped the group, Iran Interlink reported.

According to the sources in Abania, Marzieh Qobadi, Sorour Salami, Sara Haftbaradaran, Raheleh Zabeti and Mozhgan Taghipour are the five women who could manage to leave the MKO despite the very sever supervision of the cult authorities.

During the past month the MKO authorities have been exposed by various news media for their cult-like undemocratic behavior against their own members. Particularly the case of Somayeh Mohammadi whose parents traveled to Albania calling for the visit of their daughter.

The British Channel Four TV also published a video report on the MKO’s “secretive camp” in Albania. The report demonstrates the isolated MKO camp in Albania where members are maintained under security guards.

We were slaves!

Hassan Shahbazi was a university student when he left Iran to visit his friend Hassan Heirani in Camp Ashraf, the headquarters of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO/ MEK/ PMOI/ the Cult of Rajavi) in Iraq.

In Ashraf, he was welcome by the authorities of the MKO. “They intrigued our nationalistic sentiments…so I decided to stay there but what I endured during the past years is not easy to recount now,” he writes in his letter of declaration of separation from the MKO.

He was coerced to work as a forced labor. “Once I found myself in a discriminating system that claimed the classless society,” he asserts.

However he did not leave the MKO until the group was relocated in Tirana, Albania where the group members could have a very limited access to the outside world. “In the first days of our arrival in Albania, the organization let us visit the city in groups,” he writes. “I contacted my family and I learned that my family had come to Iraq to visit me but the group authorities had not let me know.”

Thus, the final stages of distrust started for Hassan Shahbaz. “The organization authorized itself to decide instead of us,” he suggests. “We were not allowed to contact our families. We had to hate our families.”

He eventually left the MKO secretly on April 3^rd, the fourteenth day of the Iranian NewYear while the group had gone on a picnic. “Immediately I submitted to the office of UN High Commissioners of Refugees in Tirana,” he says. “I declare that I have had no relationship with the Mujahedin Khalq Organization since my departure from the group.”

Two hostages escaped the MKO base in Albania

Two members of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO/MEK /PMOI / the Cult of Rajavi) left the group’s base in Albania.

According to Sahar Family Foundation, the two recently-defected people could manage to escape from the MKO’s new base called Ashraf 3 in the outskirt of Tirana and introduced themselves to the office of the UN High Commissioners of Refugees.

The newly-established camp of the MKO is located in Durres region, 31 kilometers West of Tirana where members are more isolated than they were in Tirana.

SFF reported that following the relocation of MKO members in Ashraf 3 their discontent of the cult-like regulations of the group increased and once they were informed that the UNHCR pays their monthly payment independently –not via the MKO authorities- they are more motivated to leave the group as soon as possible.

A newly-defected MKO member at Nejat Society

Former member of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO/ MEK/ PMOI/ the Cult of Rajavi) was welcomed at Nejat Society office in Isfahan.

Mohammad Tourang has recently defected the MKO in Albania and returned to Iran. Families of Nejat Society visited him at the office of the NGO in Isfahan.

The executive director of Nejat Society, Ebrahim Khodabandeh addressed the families, giving an outline of the current situation of the hostages in the MKO camp and those who could manage to leave the cult in Tirana, Albania.

Mohamamd Tourang also described the condition of the captives of the MKO as disastrous. Most members are old, depressed and sick, he said. Based on Tourang’s testimonies, people in the MKO base in Albania have many questions in their minds. “Brainwashing sessions ends with quarrels between the rank and file and the senior members, “he asserted.

Tourang answered to many questions that the suffering families asked him about their loved ones who are still taken as hostages in the MKO.

MKO defectors in Human Rights summit

A number of defectors of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO/ MEK/ PMIO/ the Cult of Rajavi) attended the annual conference of Geneva Summit for human rights and democracy on February 20, 2018.

According to a report by Peyvand-e Rahaiee –an association founded by the defectors– Ghorban Ali hosseinnejad, Batul Soltani, Davoud Baghervand and Amir Movasaghi met various human rights activists, authorities of the Summit and politicians in order to express the voice of victims of the MKO as a cult-like system that isolates its victims in the outskirt of Tirana Albania forbidding any contact with the outside world even with their families.

The annual conference of democracy and human rights is an opportunity for revelations on violation of human rights in different countries, organizations and establishments. Therefore, the MKO former members revealed facts on human rights violations in the modern slavery system of the Cult of Rajavi that manipulates the victims changing them into robots.

The survivors of the Cult of Rajavi introduced themselves to the authorities giving testimonies on the abuses they underwent during their membership in the cult.

As a woman who was sexually abuse by the leader of the cult, Massoud Rjavi, Batul Soltani testified in the event.

The defectors asked the authorities to be the voice of the victims of terrorist extremist groups such as the MKO, ISIS and Boko Haram in the human rights bodies and the United Nations, reported Peyvand-e Rahaiee. They warned that focusing on human rights violations by the states should not distract the human rights bodies from severe human rights violation that is taking place in the extremist cults on daily basis.

Defectors of the MKO independently paid by the UNHCR

_{Defectors of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO/MEK/the Cult of Rajavi) could manage to receive their monthly payment from the UN High Commissioner of Refugees, reported Sahar Family Foundation.}

_{The UNHCR had stopped monthly payment and housing benefits for political refugees after they dissociated themselves from the MKO.}

_{Once they rejected membership in the MKO, the group leaders had confiscated the monthly payment and the facilities that the UNHCR normally allocates to each refugee. Defectors could finally achieve their legal rights after their extensive protests to the UNHCR and the Albanian government.}

_{According to SFF, the UNHCR has promised the defectors to resolve the problems they are faced with including their legal identity and work permits.}

_{The UNHCR will also negotiate with the Albanian government about the defectors’ traveling permissions in Albania, reported SFF.}

Thanking Denis MacShane, Writer and Former MP

Dear Denis MacShane,

I am Mehdi Khoshal, a resident of Germany. I would like to thank you for your humanitarian intervention and say sorry if you also received any injuries due to your attempt to rescue me. I would like to start my letter with a line from the famous Iranian poet Sadi:

Human beings are members of a whole,

In creation of one essence and soul.

If one member is afflicted with pain,

Other members uneasy will remain.

I am the person who, on Wednesday sixth of December, was an invited guest to a Seminar in the European Parliament in Brussels about refugees. After the seminar, when I left by the main door of the European Parliament I was attacked by the Mojahedin Khalq thugs. At the same time something extraordinary happened. It is extraordinary when an Iranian is being targeted by terrorists in front of the buildings of the European Parliament and at that exact moment a writer and former British MP is present and tries to help but unfortunately, he himself is now at the receiving end of beatings and attacks by these terrorists.

Dear friend, who I have not seen and did not give any attention to on that evening while being beaten, I am also a writer in my own right. But my past experience and the problems involving my country have brought me to write about cults and terrorism over the past 25 years. I also, as have your good self, been targeted and faced life threatening attacks while trying to help others. Considering the helping hand you extended to an Iranian under attack and considering that you have paid a price by being attacked by the same perpetrators, I urge you to separate the experience of encountering the Mojahedin Khalq (Rajavi cult) with the normal behaviour of Iranian people who are certainly a peace-loving nation.

Finally, I would like to wish you good health and for the people of Europe friendship and peace.

Yours kindly,

Mehdi Khoshal

We are responsible to reveal the MKO Cult

Mr. Farhadi; MKO Cult defector visited Nejat Society office of Arak Branch. Recalling and talking about his experiences as a MKO Cult member said:” What bad memories we left behind. Cult leaders treated us in a bad way and like slaves. We are responsible to expose the MKO Cult and show its true nature to everybody. I will write down my memoirs as a MKO Cult member. I will publish my views on the cult functions and characteristics on NejatNGO Website.

I wish to see all those who are still captives of the group be released and the cult leaders to be collapsed.
