Timeline
Massoud Rajavi (, born 18 August 1948 – disappeared 13 March 2003) became the leader of the People's Mujahedin of Iran (MEK) in 1979.
Rajavi and the MEK actively opposed the Shah of Iran and participated in the 1979 Iranian Revolution.
During the Pahlavi regime, Rajavi was arrested by SAVAK and sentenced to death.
Due to efforts by his brother, Kazem Rajavi, and various Swiss lawyers and professors, his sentence was reduced to life imprisonment.
He was released from prison during the Iranian Revolution in 1979.
After the revolution, Rajavi assumed leadership of the People's Mujahedin of Iran.
When Iran's first presidential election took place in 1980, Rajavi nominated himself and his own People's Mujahedin of Iran.
He was endorsed by the People's Fedai, the National Democratic Front, the Democratic Party of Kurdistan, Komala and the League of Iranian Socialists.
He was disqualified in the elections by Ayatollah Khomeini on the grounds that 'those who did not endorse the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran could not be trusted to abide by that constitution'.
Rabiei was regarded as "the symbol of revolutionary womanhood".
After leaving Iran in 1981, he resided in France and Iraq.
In 1981, when Ayatollah Khomeini dismissed President Abolhassan Banisadr and a new wave of arrests and executions started in the country, Rajavi and Banisadr fled to Paris from Tehran's airbase.
She was surrounded and killed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in 1982.
Rajavi has a son from his first wife, named Mostafa.
Their marriage took place in October 1982 and the couple divorced in 1984, after Banisadr left the NCRI.
In 1985, he married Maryam Rajavi, who became the co-leader of the MEK.
Rajavi married Maryam Qajar Azodanlu (later known as Maryam Rajavi) in 1985.
Massoud Rajavi and Banisadr formed the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) "with the intent to replace the Khomeini regime with the 'Democratic Islamic Republic.'” As a form of agreement with the Islamic republic, in 1986 France's Prime Minister Jacques Chirac evicted the MEK out of France. Rajavi and approximately five to ten thousand MEK members were received by the Iraqi government. Rajavi moved to Iraq and set up a base on the Iranian border.
Shortly before the Iraq War, Massoud Rajavi disappeared.
His whereabouts remained unknown.
In his absence, Maryam Rajavi has assumed his responsibilities as leader of the MEK.
According to members of the NCRI, Massoud Rajavi is still alive and in hiding due to being a "prime target" of the Islamic Republic of Iran, while other sources have said that he is presumed to be dead.
He disappeared shortly before the 2003 invasion of Iraq and it is not known whether he is still alive.
Rajavi joined the MEK when he was 20 and a law student at the University of Tehran.
He graduated with a degree in political law.
Back in 2005, a Patriotic Union of Kurdistan official asked for arrest and trial of Rajavi based on his organization's documentary evidence of the involvement.
In July 2023, the judiciary of Iran announced a mass trial of 104 MEK members in absentia, including both Maryam and Massoud Rajavi.
Rajavi came from a prominent family.
He received a degree in political law from Tehran University.
His brother was Kazem Rajavi, Iran's ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva who held doctoral degrees from Universities in Paris and Geneva.
They had three other brothers, Saleh (a cardiologist in France), Ahmad (a British-educated surgeon), and Hooshang (an engineer in Belgium).
In July 2010, the Iraqi High Tribunal issued an arrest warrant for 39 MEK members, including Rajavi, "due to evidence that confirms they committed crimes against humanity" by "involvement with the former Iraqi security forces in suppressing the 1991 uprising against the former Iraqi regime and the killing of Iraqi citizens".
The MEK have denied the charges, saying that they constitute a "politically motivated decision and it's the last gift presented from the government of Nuri al-Maliki to the Iranian government".
