Mehri Hajinejad, an official of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran(PMOI/MEK) and from commanders of the National Liberation Army(NLA), was tortured in the prisons of Khomeini regime for almost five years. After her release from prison in May 1986, she wrote her memoirs and observations of the regime’s crimes and the enduring epics of the MEK women in her book “Leila’s Last Smile”.
The clerical regime martyred four of Haji Nejad’s relatives, including his Mojahideen brothers Ahad and Samad and Ali Haji Nejad. The hero of the People’s Mojahedin, Ali Hajinejad, was one of the most prominent and proud Mojahedin who was killed in the 1988 massacre in Gohardasht prison. Mojahed hero Farzad Granmayeh, the husband of Mehri Hajinejad, one of the most resilient prisoners, joined the NLA after five years in prison and was martyred in August 1987 in a clash with the regime’s Revolutionary Guards(IRGC).
