… The families and the former members[of MKO/MEK/PMOI] who realize the situation of the people inside Ashraf garrison who have continuously been subject to mind manipulation and psychological indoctrination for many years and find Massoud Rajavi the only sole responsible for all the hardships and troubles they are facing with, kept their calm and tried to tell them sincerely and kindly that …
… Taking into account the self immolations, carried out on the streets of France on 17 June 2003 by members of the PMOI in order to intimidate the French judiciary after the arrest of Maryam Rajavi, and collaboration of the cult with Saddam Hussein, the dictator of Iraq who left the trace of several crimes in Iraq and Iran and, the terrorist operations admitted by the PMOI/MKO/MEK inside Iran and the long wait of the families of the Camp Ashraf residents for several months behind the closed doors of the camp, and …
… Rajavi, has used the past two decades to create an atmosphere inside camp New Iraq (formerly Ashraf) in which any marriage, friendship, writing letters, exchanging photos, using telephone, meeting and chatting or any relation between parents and children or between siblings or other relatives has been forbidden and even thinking about it would have resulted in severe, violent punishment and suppression. We call on all international bodies as well as all relevant governments. We ask specifically from your good self to intervene …
…The conference, attended by people from Europe and North America, produced a statement stressing that more must be done to challenge the stalemate at the camp where 3400 people are imprisoned by cult leaders.

… And I was here, I don’t know how many years later, when they[MKO/MEK/PMOI] informed me of my mother’s death written on a piece of paper, attached by a simple condolence note, without a precise date.

Ten members, committed senseless acts of self-immolation in an extreme response to the arrest of the leader—for the sake of the leader—not for the sake of the Iranian people.
During the few past days, MKO leaders had some of Camp Ashraf residents interviewed on the group’s TV channel. The show indicated the annoying systematic manipulative pressure on the group’s rank and file. Those who were interviewed on TV were mostly among those members whose families were waiting to visit them at Ashraf gates. The families were prevented from visiting their loved ones by MKO/MEk/PMOI leaders.
… instead of meeting their loved ones , they have been insulted and slandered by the cult’s operatives since their arrival .These families despite of bad weather and the lack of accommodation , are persisting to see their relatives . Despite of their age and bad weather , they are very determined to find a solution to see their loved ones …
Why is Rajavi so terrified of families visiting with their children? Why does he enter the course personally to insult the families as”regime’s chained dogs”? ..Indeed, the treasons the Rajavis committed against their compatriots have left nothing for MKO. Once they chanted the motto”Without Iran, I don’t want life, today they hang the slogan”Without Ashraf, I don’t want life”on Camp Ashraf gates! Today MKO leaders are resisting against Iranian people.
