He left Iran for England to continue his studies, in 1979. \u201cHe was a smart student in high school,\u201d his brother Bahman says about him. \u201cHe was well-known as a hardworking student and a respectable guy in our neighborhood. He traveled to England immediately after he graduated from high school.\u201d<br \/>\nTwo years later he got back to Iran and stayed for a few months and again returned to England where he married a British girl and had two children. \u201cHe used to contact us from time to time,\u201d Bahman recalls. \u201cHe used to post letters and present to us but after sometime we lost his track.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It took Farzin\u2019s family some time to get to know that Farzin had divorced his wife and left his children behind to join the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MEK\/ MKO\/ PMOI\/ Cult of Rajavi). As long as Farzin has been in the MEK, his family has not had any contact with him.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10810\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10810\" class=\"wp-image-10810 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hashemi_Farzin_Mum_3-1.jpg\" alt=\"Farzin Hashemi's mother\" width=\"500\" height=\"351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hashemi_Farzin_Mum_3-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hashemi_Farzin_Mum_3-1-300x211.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-10810\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ms. Ashraf Mahallati; Farzin\u2019s mother<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Farzin\u2019s mother, Ashraf Mahallati, passed away a few months ago while she was awaiting his son\u2019s return. In an open letter to Farzin, a few months before her death, she wrote:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am a mother. I never forget my beloved son. Did you forget me? Why did you ruin your life? You are jailed in the hands of some cruel people [\u2026] I don\u2019t know how I can contact you. I am sure that he will regret someday. You destroyed your happy life with your wife and children. The cult deceived you. [\u2026] It is not late. You can still make an accurate decision and free yourself. I am still looking forward to your return.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although the mother died, Bahman has not stopped his efforts to contact his brother in the MEK. He has so far published several letters to ask his brother to release himself from the cult-like structure of the group in which Farzin is allegedly a member of the so-called foreign committee of the National Council of Resistance, the political vitrine of the cult.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13333\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13333\" class=\"wp-image-13333 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bahman_Hashemi.jpg\" alt=\"Bahman Hashemi\" width=\"600\" height=\"434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bahman_Hashemi.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bahman_Hashemi-300x217.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-13333\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bahman Hashemi; Farzin Hashemi&#8217;s Brother<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In his recent letter to Farzin, Bahman writes:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have written several letters to you but unfortunately you did not respond\u2026As I know you are not of the rank and file so you have access to the Internet and you must have read my letters.
