MKO former members
Two more members of Rajavi’s Cult, who had cooperated with the organization for a long time, declared their separation from the cult and sought asylum in American camp. Therefore, on Tuesday, May 3rd,2006 at 4 pm they could arrive Mehr Abad airport by the help of International Red Cross and Iranian Red Crescent and join their families.
On April 8, 2006, during a large gathering in France, former members and the families of those suppressed inside the cult of Mojahedin-e Khalq commemorated their loved ones and stressed the need for bringing the leaders of the cult- especially Massoud and Maryam Rajavi- to the court of justice.
The event started with the speech of Massoud Khodabandeh; he welcomed the guests and introduced a book by Iran-Peyvand Association, which includes the names and details of nearly 100 victims of MKO’s internal suppression.
Now the former members of the MKO in Paris have published a pamphlet containing the names and details of nearly 100 members who they claim were killed by the MKO- under torture, by hanging, forced to commit suicide or had suspicious deaths.
We were informed that Marzieh Ghorsi (also known as Arezou), after years of forced staying in Camp Ashraf, has left the cult of Rajavi and is now living in US-run camp; according to her parents, she has called her parents from American camp and her parents are very happy.
Italy’s channel 1 (Rai Uno) broadcast a report on MKO and pardon of its defectors in its news section, which is the most important news program in Italy with 25 million viewers.
The report says:”Members of the terrorist MKO can return to their country with recent public pardon [issued by Iranian leaders].
The victims are tens of members who disappeared inside the MKO. The case was opened 2 years ago in order for the illumination of public opinion and it’s still going on. In this regard, we ask all informed Iranians, former members of MKO, and particularly the families of the victims
In an interview with Radio Farda’s Ali Sajjadi, he referred to his membership in the MKO and said:”if a window is opened to the outside world, all MKO members would leave and 100 would barely remain.”
MKO announced that Mr. Abbaslou has never been a member of the organization and that he had been expelled to the US-run camp (next to Camp Ashraf). State Department lists MKO as a FTO.
I had some friends in the camp. I had no future in the American camp. It was an ambiguous future, therefore I and four of my friends could escape the camp July 6, 2005.
I personally thank the US forces, but the reality is that the cult has remained in Iraq due to the problems of the coalition forces.
When the two defectors arrived Iran, through an interview declared that a large number of members in the cult are seeking a way to escape from the camp and separate from Rajavi’s cult since the depression atmosphere and suffering treatment rule the camp.
Two defectors of Rajavi’s Cult returned, being under pressure since long ago could join American camp and by cooperation of IRC they returned to their homeland and welcomed .
