Marina Ortiz

Marina Ortiz was a "Social therapy" patient from late 1984 to mid-1990. Once initiated, she was asked to join an "underground" Marxist-Leninist organization (the International Workers Party), led by NYC-based philosopher Fred Newman. Ortiz left the group in 1990 and has since spoken out about her experience at various public forums. A trained journalist, she has also written a series of articles on the cult and produced related radio programs aired over Pacifica-WBAI Radio. Ortiz is currently the editor of www.ex-iwp.org, a website which chronicles the origins and recent activities of the International Workers Party.
