Political activity

Meisami was a student activist with the National Front and Freedom Movement of Iran while studying at the University of Tehran. After graduation, he secured a job and could make a stable future for himself, but he chose to join the People's Mujahedin of Iran (MEK) to engage in the guerilla movement against the Pahlavy dynasty. Meisami was blinded by a self-made bomb and also lost a hand. He left the MEK following its ideological shift to Marxism. He then founded an organization in 1976/77, namely People's Mujahedin Movement of Iran.
