Sobhani broaches US ties with Rajavi cult

Sobhani ,A former member of the terrorist Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO) claims the US turned a blind eye to the terrorist nature of the ‘Rajavi cult’..he also claimed that because”the organization forbids matrimony, for the past 25 years no child has been born to a man and woman inside the organization.”..”As a former member of the group, I feel that the Americans have made a grave mistake with regards to the organization.

Temporal Marriage, Rajavi’s Latest Scandal

The surprising nature of Ms. Soltani statements was anticipated yet the great extent to which they have caused surprise in readers was unexpected. She implies the fact that the extent of disclosure against the organizational activities of MKO depends on the extent of direct contact and interaction of members with the top layers of the organization. In other words, the closer the detached members to the top layers, the more shocking would be the exposé of the internal relations of the organization.

Masud Rajavi’s Marriages

(Memoirs of Ms. Batoul Soltani – Part 16)..During the training process that I passed after I entered into MKO/MEK/PMOI, they never dealt with Masud’s marriage with Firouzeh Banisadr in open organizational arguments.
