MKO former members
Ms. Fereshteh Khalaj Hedayati; member of the so called central Council of MKO noticed her separation from the Cult after 30 years of membership in the group. She declared his defection publishing a statement on her Facebook page, titled: ”Don’t be Silent”
On December18, 2015 members of Women Association visited an Albanian official in the country’s Embassy in Berlin.
Members of Women Association described their bitter experiences of their long-time imprisonment in the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO). They also recounted how they were released from the group.
Then, they raised the following issues to enlighten the Albanian authority:
Warning on the presence and activities of the cult of Rajavi (the MKO) in the Albanian territory considering their true nature as a sect.
Concern of families whose loved ones are taken as hostages in the group; they have not had the least information on the situation of their loved ones for many years; and even after their relocation to Europe, the leadership of the group continues this inhumane policy…..
Sirous Ghazanfari is a defector of Mujahedin-e Khalq Cult. In 2004 he separated the group and repatriated to his homeland. Now Sirous has his own business. He is married and has two children.
In an interview with Nejat Society Mr. Ghazanfari talks about his experiences within the MKO Cult and his life after separation from the cult:
“In 1998, I was prisoner of Iran- Iraq War. A year later due to the unbearable pressure of the prison along with 
the intense propaganda of the MKO elements within the Iraqi prisons I forced to join the group.
After joining the group, I spent the military, political and cultic phases within the cult.
After the US attack on Iraq and Saddam Hussein’s downfall in 2003, I had the opportunity to defect the group, though endured severe sufferings. ..”
“When I first entered Iran I had to face some difficulties to find a job and making a life due to my age. However I gradually overcame the difficulties…. Now I have my own business. .. I am married and have two children; Kowsar and Taha. …
Mr. Ghazanfari recommends his ex- comrades and friends who are still caught behind the bars of the cult to liberate themselves from the mental barriers of the cult.He says:
my dear friends!
The Organization [MKO] instills the members that separation from the group and starting a new independent life is impossible and those who detach the MKO will not have a good fate. But fortunately the good experiences of those who have already separated the group proved otherwise. …. You should decide your own fate. Be decided and take the first step…. “
Referring to the recent activities of the Mujahedin-e Khalq, Mr. Ghazanfari says: ”I have abandoned all organizational relations. However I follow their activities through media- print,broadcast,internet. So as, I am aware of what is happening within the organization. I know that Rajavi has enslaved some helpless people in Iraq’s deserts and unfortunately caused the killing of 24 of them recently…Rajavi’s obstacles on the way of the member’s relocation caused their death… The current government of Iraq wants Rajavi to move his followers from Iraqi territory…Yet Rajavi denies the Iraqis’ demand and even interferes in the internal affairs of Iraq… He hinders the members’ relocation process because he want to make more martyrs…
Rajavi is losing Camp Liberty as its Cult ideological base. The MKO’s support for rebels in Iraq and Syria brought nothing good for the group. The Saudi Arabia has not the potential to take in MKO members….
Rajavi is a loser and all his efforts is to maintain the group’s position in Ouver Sur d’Oise, France. He is fantasizing for some international incidents to take place to fish in troubled water.
Mehdi Baghbab Khatib separated the MKO after 27 years.
Mehdi was enslaved within the MKO Camps along with his mother. He was among the children who were 
involuntary grew up and stayed within the Cult.
When he was just 14 years old, Cult leaders enrolled him to the group’s military units despite the International Laws.
Mehdi separated the MKO even though he was under the manipulation and cult-like practices of the cult from childhood.
Ms. Hedayati is the first member of Central Council to declare her defection from the Mujahedin-e Khalq.
In september6, 2015 the Mujahedin declared a new entity called the Central Committee composed of a 
thousand women members of the group.
In fact, The MKO Cult leaders forced to announce this new committee after several members of the Leadership Council defected the group. These brave women who managed to release themselves from the Cult revealed horrifying facts about the MKO Cult leader; Massoud Rajavi abuses of female members of the group.
Maryam Sanjabi,Zahra Moeeni, Zahra Sadat Mirbagheri, Nasrin Ebrahimi, Homeira Mohammadnejad,Batoul Soltani are among the women of Leadership Council who exposed Massoud Rajavi’s sexual exploitation of women.Their exposures were a big scandal to the MKO Cult so called guru!
Ms. Fereshteh Khalaj Hedayati; member of the so called central Council of MKO noticed her separation from the Cult after 30 years of membership in the group. She declared his defection publishing a statement on her Facebook page, titled: ”Don’t be Silent”
In her statement Ms. Hedayati stated:
“Silence is not consent …, now we should talk about all those who lost their lives to pursuit a goal.
I am an eyewitness who is released from a cave.
How long should I wait. How long should I continue my silence …
…I spent 30 years of my life within the Rajavi’s group… I was an eyewitness for thirty years.. I am liberated from a brainwashing machine..
…. I believe it is the time to brake my silence..
For the sake of all those innocent people who are still at Camp Liberty and are not aware that the world outside of this damn cult is completely different from what they imagine….. “
At the end Ms. Hedayati wrote:
” I declare my separation from the sinister, medieval Cult of Rajavi and deny any kind of relationship with this hellish group. I am ready to answer any question in this regard.
Members of Iran Zanan Association took action to denounce leaders of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization in Koln, Germany.
On Sunday November 7th, 2015 these former female members of the MKO took an action in front of Dame Church in down town, Koln.
Ms. Batoul Soltani, Ms. Zahra Moini and Ms. Homeira Mohammad Nezhad condemned the deadly attack on Camp Liberty residents in Iraq. They condemned the leaders of the Cult for negligence to take proper actions to relocate the residents of the camp in a safe place.
They called on international community to engage for the immediate relocation of the residents. Former members of the cult of Rajavi asked the UN, Red Cross and other human rights bodies to put pressure on the leadership of the group to get engaged for the release of the residents who have been taken as hostages.
While the three female ex-members of the Cult of Rajavi could gain the attention of Koln citizens, a few agents of the cult tried to launch an organized propaganda to whitewash the leaders of the group and to distract public opinion from the main culpable of the incident.
By the way, the action lasted for hours. Attendees handed out brochures on the true nature of the MKO that was welcomed by citizens.

In a report on the above-mentioned action, Pen Association asserts,”If governments are charged with elimination of death penalty , their so-called “Opposition” must care much more about it . However, in the history of the MKO there are hundreds of cases of human rights abuse. The MKO leaders even threaten their critics and their dissident members to death. Some of the group’s members were sentenced to death after being tortured in solitary confinement in Camp Ashraf.”
Today, with the failure of the MKO propaganda following the nuclear deal reached between Iran and the P5+1, the Cult of Rajavi is seeking another ray of hope to resort to. “Politically and strategically isolated, the only way left to the Rajavis is to officially denounce violence and armed struggle,” suggests Pen Association.
Members of Iran Zanan Association attended meetings on human rights issues in Geneva.
The meetings were held to meet nations’ representatives. They also took an action to protest against human rights abuses, committed within the camps of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization(The MKO), in front of the United Nation’s office in Geneva.
Former female members of the MKO, Zahra Moie’ni ,Ms. Batul Soltani , Ms. Homeyra Mohammadnezhad were representatives of Iran Zanan Association who took an action on September 29th. Their action was aimed to expose the true face of the MKO as an undemocratic, anti-human rights entity.
