Nejat Society Statement on the US plan to relocate MKO Cult in an Iraqi area

Nejat Society believes that there is no need for relocation of Camp Ashraf. A look at recent cases indicates that so far about 1000 defectors of MKO could manage to live a free life in European countries as well as Iran and no judicial obstacle was on their way. If the cult leaders are honest in their words, they should allow the members to decide whether to leave the group or stay in the cult, with their own free will not under the atmosphere of fear and pressure. Then they will see that there will be no more residents to move to another Iraqi area.

Open Letter to Ms. Pillay on Camp Ashraf

We are ex-members of the Mujahedin Khalq Organisation (MKO, PMOI). We joined the MKO around the period of the Iranian Revolution (1979) when it started as a resistance-movement against the dictatorial regime in Iran. Later the group went on to armed resistance and finally it degenerated into a terrorist cult. We have gone through all these phases inside the organisation ourselves and have lived in the MKO camp ‘Ahsraf’ in Iraq for many years. We decided to leave the group in the terrorist stage, when they get extremely violent… In recent years we repeatedly pointed to the explosive situation in and around the camp Ahsraf ..

You should not allow such a terrorist cultic organization with such a terrifying past utilizes those popular slogans, freedom and democracy…
