He has not even heard her voice through a voice call in the years of Shokooh\u2019s membership in the cult-like system of the MEK. He has made efforts to contact his daughter; he has written several open letters and has published text, voice and video messages on Nejat Society website in the hope of visiting his beloved daughter someday.<\/p>\n<p>In his latest message, he says:<br \/>\n\u201cI wonder how Rajavi speaks of freedom and democracy while he has kept my daughter behind the bars of his group for many years. Is my daughter free? If she is free then why don\u2019t you allow her to call her family? This is so inhuman. Rajavi has taken my daughter as a hostage. I have not seen the face of my daughter for over thirty years. I have forgotten her face. I read that Rajavi wants to liberate Iranian people! Are Iranian people in prison?<\/p>\n<p>They are living their lives despite their issues. I am telling Rajavi : \u2018First liberate those you have imprisoned in your group! Let alone the Iranian people!\u2019 Rajavi and his commanders are not human beings. I am looking forward to the day that my daughter will unshackle herself and get back to embrace her family.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shokooh had just finished high school when she traveled to Turkey in the early 1990s.
