Later she fled abroad where she directed the international relations of the organization.
In 1979, she led a split away from OIPFG, and formed the Iranian People"s Fedai Guerrillas. The dispute with the leadership of the OIPFG stemmed from Ashraf"s unwavering loyalty to Masoud Ahmadzadeh"s theories.
She also accused the leadership of deviating from Fadai"s revolutionary traditions and inclination to compromise with the government. After a war between Kurds and Iranian Islamic Republic in 1981, a Kurdish revolutionary group of Ashraf Dehghani"s group was formed.
