(Memoirs of Ms. Batoul Soltani – Final Part)..Rajavi believes that a woman works more obediently than a man. He thinks that when he orders a man to do a job, he may ask why, but a woman never asks questions about the demands, she would immediately execute the order. And that’s exactly what Rajavi wants. This is the potential that he cannot see in his male members. What matters to him is that who the best to achieve his goals is.
The ideological leader of MKO knows well that if their base is supervised by Iraqi officials, the release of captured members will be more likely. Therefore they try in any way to stop Iraqi supervision over the camp to prevent the decline of their forces..We as the ex – members of MKO/MEK/PMOI, who returned to our homeland and now are living in Iran peacefully, condemn MKO leaders’ plot to create crisis and tension by warmongering, terrorism..
I am responding to your recent speeches in the European Parliament..Do you have any idea what your Rajavi has done to us? The beatings, humiliation, swearing and constant mental pressure aimed at anyone who wants to leave, or even to say anything critical of what Rajavi has ever said. Where you then? Why has no one asked any international human rights organization to come and visit Ashraf independently?
Sobhani ,A former member of the terrorist Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO) claims the US turned a blind eye to the terrorist nature of the ‘Rajavi cult’..he also claimed that because”the organization forbids matrimony, for the past 25 years no child has been born to a man and woman inside the organization.”..”As a former member of the group, I feel that the Americans have made a grave mistake with regards to the organization. Six years after overthrowing Saddam, the MKO/MEK/PMOI is still brainwashing the residents of Ashraf Camp with the help of the Americans..
number of defectors of Mujahedin Khalq Organization who were assisted by the respectful authorities of ICRC to return home, declare their position on recent incidents in Camp Ashraf where a group of members have been victimized by MEK leaders’ Machiavelli’s tricks to violate international and Iraqi laws..we ask your Excellency to provide the possibility for the return of those physically and mentally captured ones in Camp Ashraf.
(Memoirs of Ms. Batoul Soltani – Part 22 )..The MKO leaders looked dawn on us so we accepted everything they said. They always tried to make us doubt our individuality. If we were not able to present a case about one of our minor colleagues, Maryam would punish us. She accused us of distancing ourselves from Massoud. Then she concluded that the problem comes from our thinking. I could never convince myself to accept their justification
(An interview with Batool Soltani on MKO self-immolations – Part twelve)..The more the time passed, the more he was obsessed with plans to become a magnet to draw devoted members and insisted to exactly, even if forcibly, accomplish the pattern he was holding onto. He was merging the principle of guidance with its authoritative aspects and opportunism to create a holy man of himself called the ideological leader.
(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
(Memoirs of Batoul Soltani –Part 21) .. The affairs of the Leadership Council including marrying Masud are never revealed to lower ranks, due to the fact that Maryam and Masud believe :”the lower ranks will not understand it because the pupils of their eyes are sexual.”..Maryam and Masud insist that there is no need to present such a case in lower ranking meetings and also they do not have the capacity to realize it. .
