I joined the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK, MKO, Rajavi Cult) in 1987 and left the organization in 1993.<br \/>\nDuring this time, the MEK officials never allowed me to contact my family, and my family never noticed my presence in the organization, thus leaving my family in complete ignorance.<br \/>\nIn 1993, I decided to leave the MEK, but the officials of the organization imprisoned me in Camp Ashraf. I was tortured in prison, one of the torturers was named Majid Alamian. I was severely pressured and beaten in prison to dissuade me from leaving the organization. I was beaten every time I asked to leave. I was imprisoned in Ashraf for four months.<\/p>\n<p>After that, when they faced my insistence, they transferred me to the Ramadi refugee camp and gave me a hundred Dinars. This was while a hundred Dinars was not worth it at all and they never thought about how I could live with this amount of money.<br \/>\nI stayed in the Ramadi camp for a year. During this one year, I ate food out of the garbage to stay alive and in this way I was able to survive.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13584\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13584\" class=\"wp-image-13584 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Farahi-Dust-Mohammad.jpg\" alt=\"Mohammad Reza Pirnazari\" width=\"700\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Farahi-Dust-Mohammad.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Farahi-Dust-Mohammad-300x193.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-13584\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mohammad Reza Pirnazari<\/p><\/div>\n<p>When the MEK officials handed me over to the security forces at Ramadi camp, they told them that I was an Iranian spy so as I was constantly beaten by them. In this way, they intended to dissuade me from my decision and bring me back to Camp Ashraf.<\/p>\n<p>A year later, with the presence of the Red Cross in the camp, my name was written down and I was taken to the prison in the Iraqi city of Khanaqin. There, I was handed over to the Iraqi security forces and they left me at the Iranian border in the minefield to return to Iran. They thought that I could not cross the minefield and therefore I would return to the organization.However,thanks God I was able to cross the minefield and reached Iran safely.<br \/>\nI was under severe pressure in the MEK so much that they did not even allow me to tell my family about my health.<\/p>\n<p>As a victim of the MEK Cult who has had the experience of the prisons and tortures of the MEK, I have complaints and I demand that the leaders of the MEK be punished for the crimes they committed. I am an eye witness, a living document of the crimes against humanity within the MEK.<br \/>\nI am ready to testify in any court about the torture and oppression that the MEK has imposed on me.<\/p>\n<p>Doust Mohammad Farahi Mahalleh Kalaei<br \/>\nJouybar &#8211; Mazandaran &#8211; Iran<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mr. Karim Khan Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court Greetings and Regards, I am Doust Mohammad Farahi Mahalleh Kalaei from Jouybar city in Mazandaran province in northern Iran.
