The day before the group’s rally this year, former MKO members held a press event, which was attended by just one other journalist. The lack of media interest reflects how Europe chooses to ignore the indisputable human rights violations of a group described by former members as a horrific cult.
Ebrahim Khodabandeh was one of the cult defectors who was received at Shiraz University to enlighten the minds of students who rarely had any idea of the MKO. He described cult-like techniques Rajavi uses to manipulate his members in order to achieve power in Iran.
On Friday October19,2012 members of associations founded by former members of Mujahedin e Khalq Organization including Ariya Iran,Yaran Iran and Faryare Azadi Association in accompany with Iranian residents of France, demonstrated in front of US embassy in Paris to announce their protest against MKO removal from Terrorist groups .
Twenty people of MKO members’ families who are from Kermanshah and Lorestan provinces joined other families picketing at Camp Ashraf chanting the slogan: “Our message hope, Our promise, freedom”.
The Iranian families said they have come thousands of kilometers to see their relatives, and now they are few meters away and are unable to meet them.According to reports by Iraqi NGOs and the defected MKO members, the group’s members inside the camps have been living in dire conditions and deprived of their basic rights.
Hundreds of families picketing in front of Camp Ashraf held a protest rally on Friday December 23rd and called on the Camp leaders to release their loved ones held as hostages by the leaders.
Baluch families of 16 MKO terrorist cult captives travelled to Iraq, Camp Ashraf on September25,2011 to save their beloved ones who are brainwashed and manipulated by the Cult leaders.
Every day at this part, some of the brainwashed members of the “ destructive mind-control Cult of Rajavi”, covering their faces ; target the suffering families -who are awaiting their beloved ones’ visit eagerly – by strings and catapults.
