Mr. Fereydoun Ebrahimi; MKO Cult defector meets his mother after 15 years MKO former members
Mr. Fereydoun Ebrahimi who had been enforced to stay within the Camps of Mujahedin- e Khalq Cult for 15 years managed to escape the Cult Camp in 2014. He escaped Camp Liberty, reached UN stand in the Camp and asked for help.
Fereydoun had no contact with his family from the time when he was recruited by the cult. He called his family as soon as he stepped back into the free world in 2014. Then he went to Turkey. In Turkey he succeeded to meet his mother and other family members after 15 years, though unfortunately his father was passed away.
Mr. Ebrahimi resided in Germany for a short time and then repatriated to his homeland to join his family. He has just got married and enjoys a free life within his family.

Mr. Ashur Varshi, 46, is the most recent defector of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO). He escaped Camp Liberty a few weeks ago. He is residing in a hotel in Baghdad now, in company with other survivors of the MKO. He is in contact with his family.
Varshi joined the MKO 27 years ago. As a 19–year–old teenager his ideal was the overthrow of the Islamic Republic through armed struggle. But ultimately, the totalitarian and manipulative system of the group made him leave it. ”After 27 years of companionship with the group, I was threatened to death (by Alireza Budaqchi under the pseudonym of Ahad) just because I had said that the leader’s arguments were not realistic,” Varshi writes. “He [Ahad] used to pressure me to praise the leader’s words.”
Ashur who was labeled an anti-leader agent, was eventually supervised all the time. ”There was an absolutely suppressive atmosphere,” he recounts.” I was repeatedly summoned by them; and I was faced with mental torture in order to stop criticizing the group.”
As a dissident member of the Cult of Rajavi, Ashur was brave enough to question the leaders for their dishonesty but the answer was more punishment. ”with each punishment, I got more assured that the MKO was not the same group I once had joined for struggle, so I admitted any danger and pressure.’’
He paid a heavy price for the disagreement he voiced against the group leaders. ”I preferred to be bombed, to be attacked by missiles everyday instead of talking with a bunch of brainwashed torturers,” he states.

Former MEK member Ehsan Bidi staged a sit-in outside the UNHCR office in Tirana, Albania where he has refugee status.Bidi and other formers were told by the UN office that their funds and accommodation would be stopped from end of March. They have now all been evicted and made homeless.According to Bidi, the responsible person at the UN, Nicola, has been replaced in the past few days by someone from Pakistan who claims to know nothing except that the UN is not allowed to pay for the refugees from today. The UN attributes this situation to an agreement between the Albanian government, the US, MEK and the UNHCR. According to this agreement, Albania should only provide land and the individual refugees’ expenses are to be met by the MEK. The problem is that not only will the MEK not provide for these formers’ expenses, they actually want to kill Bidi.Bidi says that already a few members have been forced to humiliate themselves and beg the MEK to be allowed again to become terrorists for money. They all have refugee status.

A group of 111 family members whose loved ones are trapped in Camp of Mujahedin-e Khalq in Iraq; Camp Liberty arrived at the Camp’s Gate in February25, 2016
The families are from different Provinces of Iran. They have risked the dangers and troubles of travelling to the war-torn country of Iraq in a hope to have a short visit with their loved ones. The right which they are denied of, now for many years.
The families gathered in front of Camp Liberty and called their children. Though they are not allowed to use loudspeakers, the families screamed their basic right of visiting their loved ones.
On Monday February 22, another group of MKO hostages’ families traveled to Iraq, Camp Liberty.
They simply demand to have the right to visit their beloveds. The suffering families’ loved ones are held captive by the Mujahedin-e Khalq destructive cult leaders now for many years. They are worried about the destiny of their children and their family members at MKO Camp.
They call on Unites Nation’s secretary General and all human rights bodes to help them liberate their loved ones.
The two brothers managed to release themselves after 27 years of imprisonment within the MKO bases.
Bahadori brothers were recruited by the MKO in 2002 in Baku Azarbayjan where the older one was working. The MKO recruiters promised to provide them with European refuge.
Although they were promised a better life in Europe, they found themselves in Turkey and then Iraqi Camp Ashraf where they were immediately separated from each other. They were not allowed to meet each other for years. They were not told about their family who had several times come to visit them in Camp Ashraf, Iraq. The brothers made efforts to meet each other for eight years. Whenever they asked for a visit they were punished by the group leaders.
After their relocation from Camp Ashraf to Camp Liberty, they succeeded to meet each other randomly and eventually they managed to escape from the cult of Rajavi after the recent rocket attack on Camp Liberty in November.
Then, they were aided by the UN and Iraqi human rights bodies and the Iranian embassy in Baghdad in order to return to their country.
One of the brothers told Nejat Society that a large number of members of the group are thinking of leaving the group but they are kept busy in computer classes- without the Internet – because leaders claim that they will be sent to Europe after finishing their alleged computer training course.
Cult leaders keep members in a state of hesitation and passiveness by threatening them that leaving the MKO ends with death and destruction.
Protest Gathering of over 30 MKO hostages’ families at Camp Liberty Gates – January 2016
Their only demand is to have the right to visit their loved ones. They ask human rights bodies :” why is it that 12 years after the fall of Saddam Hussein (the benefactor of fugitive terrorist leader Massoud Rajavi), there is still no sign that the terrorists’ camp will close and the residents held hostage by the MEK leaders will be rescued and taken to safety.”
