Why has it not been possible to remove the MEK?

The nature of the MEK organisation

The MEK is a dangerous, destructive mind-control cult

MEK uses violence to resist interference

The role of external agencies in preventing Iraq from expelling the group

International community (US and EU) have clearly sided with cult leader

Misinformation in resolutions and parliamentary speeches to promote MEK

External Agencies can choose to support the democratic government of IraqorSupport the leader of an unelected, totalitarian cult

Page 9: The Life of Camp Ashraf Mojahedin-e Khalq Victims of Many Masters

External agencies must beware of cult manipulation

Maryam Rajavi has threatened a violent reaction to external interference in the camp

Neither Massoud Rajavi nor Maryam Rajavi represent the interests of the hostages in Camp Ashraf - Therefore they cannot negotiate on their behalf

MEK is a cult – Cult experts should be involved to prevent deaths and injury to all

Page 10: The Life of Camp Ashraf Mojahedin-e Khalq Victims of Many Masters

Families - Rajavi’s greatest fear

Rajavi calls families ‘bombs’ of destruction

Family ties will break Rajavi’s hold over members

Families stay at the gate for two years and still not able to access relatives inside Camp Ashraf

Families are the solution, not the problem
