The names of these women are:<\/p>\n<p>Maryam Nezamolmolki<br \/>\nMahmanzar Sadr Ashrafi<br \/>\nTahmineh Haji Verdikhani<br \/>\nMarina Seraj<br \/>\nNastaran Rastgarpour<br \/>\nBatul Alavi Taleghani<br \/>\nAsefeh Jaafarzadeh<br \/>\nMaryam Torabi<br \/>\nSaeedeh Keyhani<\/p>\n<p>What did Maryam Sanjabi witness about these women under the Cult of Rajavi? Read her testimonies below the name of each woman.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Maryam Nezamolmolki<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Her brother, Hassan Nezamolmolki is an intelligence agent and a torturer of the Cult of Rajavi and his ex-wife, Nasrin Parsian was killed in an accident in the 1990s. Her brother\u2019s son, named Siavash was kept in the camp too. The leaders of the cult took Siavash Nezamolmolki to Iraq; the orphaned unexperienced son was forced by the leaders to get involved in a clash with Iraqi security forces and eventually he was killed.<\/p>\n<p>Maryam Nezamolmolki hated the MEK leader because they had victimized her nephew. She had realized the crimes of the group leaders so she did not want to stay in that hellish system. She expressed her complaints publicly and the criminal Rajavi did not allow her to leave. Under Rajavi\u2019s regulations, candidates and members of the Elite Council would be sentenced to death in case of defecting. Thus, Maryam Nezam was imprisoned and kept under mental and physical pressure in Camp Ashraf.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mahmanzar Sadr Ashrafi<\/strong><br \/>\nShe had worked in the central section of the MEK including Maryam and Massoud Rajavi\u2019s offices. As an insider who had witnessed the acts of immorality and violations committed by the Rajavis, Mahmanzar bravely stood up to the immoralities and expressed her dissent to the group. She did not want to stay and keep on working with the group but in that dark era of residing in Iraq, asking for leaving the group had no answer except imprisonment and isolation. For years, Mahmanzar was kept in jail by the leaders of the Cult of Rajavi.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tahmineh Haji Verdikhani<\/strong><br \/>\nShe was pretty more courageous than the others. She was often kept in a cell in the most distanced dormitories of Camp Ashraf. From time to time, she started shouting and insulting the Rajavis. So, she was always guarded by two people. She was never allowed to be alone. Tahmineh was in a terrible situation. She was under severe mental pressure, violence and humiliation. As I remember, she was under that horrific condition until the last day of her stay in the MEK.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Marina Seraj<\/strong><br \/>\nHer story is similar to other female dissidents inside the MEK. She was imprisoned in a place in Camp Ashraf. She was not allowed to leave the place. She was constantly being injected with powerful sedative drugs. The criminal female commanders of the cult such as Faezeh Mohabatkar irritated the wretched woman so much that her eyebrows and hair turned white although she was too young. Marina looked like an old woman as the result of too much mental pressure. She had turned into a dissociable abnormal woman. Zahra Mirbagheri (another former member of the MEK) has also written her testimonies about Marina.<\/p>\n<p>To be continued<br \/>\nTranslated by Nejat Society<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former member of the group writes of nine women of hundreds who were oppressed under the cult-like structure of the group.
