Nejat SocietySeptember 27, 2009079 views

(An interview with Batool Soltani on MKO self-immolations – Part 21)..A look at the organization’s[MKO/MEK/PMOI] own media at that time and later reveals that it had designated a big bulk of its propaganda space, both cyber and non-cyber, for the reflection of the relevant issues and news and did not spare to stick even at the trifles. The origin of these news was often the organization itself and most often used them quoted from other news agencies; as it benefitted the effect of media coverage on the incidents of 17 June immolations.

Organized Violence at Camp Ashraf

MEK despite what its leaders claim, has never followed a peaceful option to achieve its goals. Massoud Rajavi, like Stalin, divided the world to two groups:”With MEK and Against MEK”[MKO/PMOI]; he isolated the organization behind the barbed wires so no idea or no individual is able to get in or out..The culture of violence is not only included in physical violence but also in verbal violence. The physical violence is based on verbal violence.

(An interview with Batool Soltani on MKO self-immolations – Parts nineteen-twenty).. … it was the attempt to mythicize their death and consecrate them as saints and legendry heroines. Multitudes of poems, elegies and songs as well as the already mentioned mystical dances were composed and manipulated to justify the wounded and the dead of the immolation operations … The function of art was converted here; to die for the ideals is evaluated a fair, worthy death, but to die for an egoist who believes in no humanistic ideal value ..

An interview with Batool Soltani on MKO self-immolations – Part thirteen)- some of these suicides were committed just following these meetings like the suicide done by Mehri Moussavi ..the significance was his skill in presenting examples .., the presented standards and motivations, which the ranking members were well aware of, behind these suicides could well help to identify whether it was esteemed a holy suicide for the cause of the leaderand interests of the organization or despised a sinful suicide for individual weaknesses ..

(An interview with Batool Soltani on MKO self-immolations – Part eleven)..In his speech Rajavi underlined that the act of suicide in itself was a big sin and homicide in Islamic teachings. He would say if according to Quran suicide was known to be a big sin then, why we were stressing on suicide and related operations as a working approach. Of course, it was before the widespread self-immolations of June 17.He would continue focusing on the point that while it was a big sin then, why we took advantage of it for organizational interests and to defend Ashraf

Rajavi; set your body on fire to defend Ashraf

Nejat SocietyAugust 6, 20090116 views

(An interview with Batool Soltani on MKO self-immolations – Part nine)..There was a female colleague who had refused to volunteer for self-immolation but the organization showed no antagonistic attitude towards her before others. It was not the end of the story and the organization commanded me to watch her closely since they believed that she was in trouble with herself and cared not the least for the organization. They would justify that now even ten days after the detention of Maryam in France, she had refrained to be an abstentious volunteer.

No suicide operation unless commanded by the organization

Nejat SocietyJuly 1, 2009068 views

any recruit had to pass through these discourses which the suicide operation was an inseparable part. Even I, a ranking member of the leadership Council, was constantly exposed to these discourses. It was an issue of high priority on the agenda before the leadership when the organization reached a critical stalemate. In the process of dispatching operation teams across the Iranian borders to carry out operations inside Iran, the prerequisite was a proclaimed preparedness for committing suicide.

Nejat SocietyJune 23, 20090432 views

(Memoirs of Ms. Batoul Soltani – Part 16)..During the training process that I passed after I entered into MKO/MEK/PMOI, they never dealt with Masud’s marriage with Firouzeh Banisadr in open organizational arguments. Later on, it was discussed in the higher levels of the Leadership Council. In 1994, we had a meeting in which the arguments about the MKO’s second founders were presented and Masud pointed out his marriage with Firouzeh. I don’t think the issue was transmitted to the meetings in lower levels of the group.
