In June 2003, police arrested 167 people in the Paris suburb of Auvers-sur-Oise where the MKO is based. Of those arrested, 17 were placed under formal investigation, including Maryam Rajavi, the leader of the MKO’s political wing on suspicion of "associating with wrongdoers in relation with a terrorist undertaking".

Following Maryam Rajavi’s arrest in France, a number of Mojahedin’s sympathizers, reported 20, committed self-immolations in streets of Paris and other Western cities to obtain her liberation. These acts of self-burning were organizationally preset acts of dissent dictated to the members who practiced them.
This has been referred to in the website of Mansour Ghadr Khah, a member of NCRI, called “Iran liberty”. In this regard Ghadr Khah states: “Hundreds of people have inscribed themselves in the list for self-immolation. So, if the French government does not put an end to its common plot with the Iranian regime, they are determined to set themselves ablaze.”
A delegation from Nejat Society traveled to Geneva to participate the meeting of United Nations Human Rights Council and to visit the delegation from other international human rights organizations in order to prevent the political abuse of the remaining captives in Camp Ashraf, and guarantee the individual rights of those who basically deny terrorism and are willing to return to the society. Nejat Society delegation includes:
Mr. Babak Amin, Mr. Arash Sametipour, Mrs. Marjan Malek, Mrs. Ronak Dashti.
In a one day symposium held on 2008-07-28 by the Nejat Society in Tehran, the members and the associates of the society as well as the families of members of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) captive inside the Ashraf Camp in Iraq gathered from different provinces demanding the free access of the families to their children in Iraq.
How sweet it is to live within a warm, relaxing atmosphere among your family members.
After years of grieves under physical and mental pressures, it is so fascinating to stay with your own family without being worried about the cult leaders’ punishment or the peer pressure of the comrades.
What a pity that they lost many years of their lives without such CALM!
On Monday 5 February 2008, a delegation consisting of representatives of different Moslem organisations and societies in Britain, paid a visit to the Nejat (rescue) Society in Tehran. They met with Ms. Hura Shalchi, Ms. Marjan Malek, Mr. Ebrahim Khodabandeh and Mr. Jamil Bassam while some representatives from the British Embassy in Tehran as well as families of the MKO members in Ashraf Camp were present. The seven members of the delegation each represented a British Moslem establishment which totally covers a good deal of Moslem community in Britain
Another chapter in their history is no less than a permanent stain on the reputation of Massoud Rajavi’s People’s Mojahedin. They lost respectability from this. Having participated actively in the repression of the Iraqi Kurds, the PMOI can hardly win the confidence of Iran’s Kurds whom that often cite as supporters.
It happened in 1991 right in the aftermath of Gulf War while Saddam Hussein ordered Rajavi to help him with suppressing Kurds’ uprising in the north of Iraq.”
To cover their crimes against Kurds, Mujahedin claimed that they repelled the attack of Iranian forces to their bases and called the alleged anti – attack,”Pearl Operation”.
