Mujahedin Khalq as a Destructive Cult

Sarkozy proposed transport to MKO terrorists

the cult forced families of recruits to attend the demonstrations in European countries, threatening them to kill their dear ones.

Human shield in defense of Ashraf

(An interview with Batool Soltani on MKO self-immolations – a précis of parts 27-28)- The human shield was one of the opted options; mass suicides could effectively frustrate any effort that aimed at dismantling the integrity of Ashraf. It included any other threat like forced entry of American or coalition forces to temporarily close or deactivate the camp.
