Growing discontent in Ashraf: Monafeghin members seek escape from the “Hell of Manza”

An Albanian media outlet has published a report on the current situation of the Monafeghin terrorist group and its growing collapse.

According to Gazeta Impact, with the beginning of legal proceedings against the Monafeghin terrorist organization in Iran, the situation of its remaining members — those still residing in Camp Ashraf 3 in Albania or living in various European countries under the protection of foreign intelligence services — has entered a critical phase.

Many of these individuals have long wished to return to a normal life and free themselves from the group’s physical and psychological control, yet they remain hesitant. What is clear now is that time for decision-making is running out.

The ongoing trial of the Monafeghin terrorist group in Iran is not only a historic step toward justice but also a decisive moment for the organization’s remaining members. The prosecution of the Monafeghin for its crimes is considered one of the largest trials in modern Iranian history.

Hundreds of documents, videos, and testimonies from victims, family members, and former members have been presented, revealing the depth of the atrocities and betrayals committed by a group that has fought against its own people for decades with the support of Iran’s enemies. This trial is not only a chance for the victims’ families to seek justice but also a window of hope for former Monafeghin members.

Camp Ashraf 3 in Albania has now become the stage of the Monafeghin’s gradual collapse. Reports from inside the camp show escalating internal discontent, mutual mistrust, and mental fatigue, alongside the mounting pressure from the Albanian government — all of which are fueling a worsening internal crisis. Many members of the terrorist group have tried to escape from the camp but have been met with security restrictions and direct threats from Maryam Rajavi, the group’s leader.

At the same time, other host countries are no longer willing to accommodate these individuals. With the Albanian authorities imposing increasing restrictions on the group’s activities, the Monafeghin’s residency status and future have become increasingly uncertain. In this situation, voluntary return to Iran appears to be the only realistic path to escape complete collapse and a meaningless life in exile.

In recent years, dozens of former Monafeghin members have returned to Iran from Albania, France, Germany, and other countries. Their experiences show that, contrary to the group’s propaganda, Iran has welcomed those who have sincerely repented. Upon their return, they have received medical services, legal assistance, and even financial support to help them restart their lives.

Those who have managed to escape the hellish restrictions of Camp Ashraf now live peacefully with their families in Iran and express satisfaction that they made the right decision at the right time. For those still in doubt, their stories send a clear message.

One of the main obstacles preventing Monafeghin members from returning to Iran is the psychological manipulation and brainwashing that dominates the group’s internal system. The group’s leader continues to spread fear through lies and threats — but the reality is entirely different.

The group’s fear-based propaganda serves only one purpose: to preserve a collapsing organization and prevent further disintegration.

Each member who leaves delivers another blow to the Monafeghin and marks the end of its false mythology. The group’s deceptions have lost their former power, and members now fully understand that the group’s leaders have no concern for their fate.

Former Monafeghin members and those seeking to flee Camp Ashraf must recognize that they stand at a historic crossroads. Through voluntary return and cooperation with the truth, they can help atone for some of the crimes and deceptions of the past.
