The group leaders tried to show Bidi\u2019s case to the rank and file as an example of defectors\u2019 fate outside the group. They literally threatened members claiming that they would be able to fix such a fate for every defector of the group.\u201d<br \/>\nNevertheless, Ehsan Bidi\u2019s resistance and determination to stand against the MEK was fruitful. He was freed from jail on Monday, October 18th, 2021.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13465 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bidi-Defectors-202110-11.jpg\" alt=\"Ehsan Bidi\" width=\"700\" height=\"391\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bidi-Defectors-202110-11.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bidi-Defectors-202110-11-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13464 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bidi-Defectors-202110-4.jpg\" alt=\"Ehsan Bidi\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bidi-Defectors-202110-4.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bidi-Defectors-202110-4-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bidi-Defectors-202110-4-390x220.jpg 390w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Ehsan Bidi joined the MEK in Iraq, in 2002.

Bidi left Iraq for Albania where he was granted a ten-year residence and permission to work.<br \/>\nAs a survivor of the Cult of Rajavi he began criticizing the leaders of the cult in the social media.
