His sister, Fereshteh had suspiciously died in Iraq<br \/>\nFereshteh was the presenter of the MEK\u2019s TV channel. In 1995, Her death was announced as being assassinated in a terror attack in Iraq! Alireza joined the group two years later but shortly after his arrival in Camp Ashraf, he got to know that he was on the wrong path. Consequently, he began to express his dissent.<\/p>\n<p>Alireza Esfandiari\u2019s disagreement with the MEK\u2019s cult-like regulations turned him into the topic of long-term meetings. The group commanders held uninterrupted 8-hour-long sessions for several successive days to coerce him to stay in the group. During the meetings he was under severe mental and physical pressure by the side of commanders, in particular Zhila Deihim and also his peers. However, Alireza was courageous enough to insist on his demand to leave the group.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_12756\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12756\" class=\"wp-image-12756 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Esfandyari_Fereshte.png\" alt=\"Fereshteh Esfandiyari\" width=\"600\" height=\"464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Esfandyari_Fereshte.png 600w, https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Esfandyari_Fereshte-300x232.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-12756\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">MEK &#8216;s announcement on the death of Fereshteh Esfandiyari<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Farid, former member of the MEK who witnessed Alireza\u2019s brainwashing courts, recalls that Zhila Deihim called Alireza \u201ca coward who pees in his pants because he is scared\u201d and \u201che wants to embrace the regime\u201d (the Iranian government)!<br \/>\nFarid and Mobayen testify that Alireza was severely beaten in the so-called court of Zhila Deihim. \u201cWe did not see Alireza after the court for a few days,\u201d Mobayen writes. \u201cOne day we were eating lunch in the eating place when Alireza rushed in.
