They were parents of Massoud Rajavi, the leader of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO\/ MEK\/ PMOI\/ the Cult of Rajavi). Massoud\u2019s father owned a law office so he was rich enough to send his sons abroad to continue their studies.<\/p>\n<p>They were not people of politics so they got angry of Massoud when he joined the MEK\u2019s early leaders in the 1960s. His mother was mad with Massoud because he made his other brothers and sisters get involved in the MEK\u2019s violent background which led to the death of some of them including Kazem and Monireh. \u201cMassoud is not a Muslim, he broke my heart,\u201d his mother said in an interview.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_12644\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12644\" class=\"wp-image-12644 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rajavi-Parents-2.jpg\" alt=\"Masud Rajavi parents\" width=\"500\" height=\"405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rajavi-Parents-2.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rajavi-Parents-2-300x243.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-12644\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Masud Rajavi parents<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This approach of Massoud\u2019s parents caused a violent reaction by the side of the MEK.
