No suicide operation unless commanded by the organization

Nejat SocietyJuly 1, 2009069 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, 20090448 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.

Suicide operation; a solution or sidestepping it

Nejat SocietyJune 22, 2009094 views

(An interview with Batool Soltani on MKO self-immolations – Part two )..the organization’s[PMOI/MEK/MKO] standards are absolutely different. The organization unrelentingly persisted that the ultimate solution to any problem was to offer a sacrifice. Somebody had to be sacrificed for the cause of the organization, which has been regarded more precious than the life of a militiaman, through suicide, self-harming operations or other similar acts. In one instance, as I remember, Rajavi in justification of the failure of the Operation Eternal Light stated that he had known from the very beginning that it was a futile operation from a military viewpoint,..

A definition of suicide operations

Nejat SocietyJune 20, 20090177 views

(An interview with Batool Soltani on MKO self-immolations – Part one).Of the importance in the issue at hand is the materialization of the suicidal operations as a working means in the organization[MKO/PMOI/MEK], an adopted means committed in a variety of forms from the past to the present cultic form. The narrative by Mrs. Soltani presents an explicitly further account of what we have so far heard or read about the shocking incident. Looking at an issue from many different angles, her look seems to be novel in itself.

Masud Rajavi is the fixed axis of the organization

Nejat SocietyJune 18, 2009088 views

(Memoirs of Ms. Batoul Soltani – part 15) -The key approach to know a political or an ideological movement is to know its leaders in the first place. Masud Rajavi is the fixed axis of the organization[MKO/MEK/PMOI] where the leadership is very important. Every individual who enters the organization is under close observation all the time and the person’s actions or reactions are watched

A phenomenon called the “Leadership Council”

Nejat SocietyJune 9, 2009095 views

(Memoirs of Ms. Batoul Soltani – Part 14)..“If this operation had to be done before the formation of the Leadership Council, I would have had too much challenge to convince Mr. Hassan Nezam to prepare a unit for the operation, but now when I explain a plan for Ms. Roqayeh Abbasi or Ms. Mahvash sepehri, I don’t have to challenge them. I just tell them to do the plan and they go and operate it.”Rajavi alleged in a meeting after an armed operation..The pastime aspect of the leadership Council was used as a tool just inside MKO and not outside of it.

Why did Rajavi create his so-called Leadership Council?

Nejat SocietyJune 6, 20090116 views

(Memoirs of Ms. Batoul Soltani – Part 13) – Imagine Rajavi as a spider that everything in the organization forms around him, just like a spider’s web. Looking at MKO’s background shows us that after the fall of Shah, the organization’s process was alienated by Rajavi’s personal desires. I mean, gathering every single supporter and member together, step by step, and then performing every single operation, one by one, followed by Rajavi’s demands. Therefore when you say that MKO/PMOI/MEK is a cult of personality around Masud Rajvi..
