Robert Fantina, Counter Punch, January 28 2019:...And what of French support for MEK? This follows the hypocrisy usually demonstrated by the United States.

Iran Interlink, January 19 2019:... The MEK’s false propaganda has been used to pretend Iran poses a terrorist threat in Albania and the Netherlands and Belgium etc. The fake threat has been so easily swallowed that it has ended up with the detention of American born journalist Marzieh Hashemi as she arrived in the USA from Iran. Even though no charges…

Paul Pillar, Lobe log, November 13 2018:... As cult leaders, the husband-and-wife duo of Massoud and Maryam Rajavi have resembled the likes of Jim Jones and Shoko Asahara. Families have been broken up, married couples told to divorce, and women threatened with punishment if they did not “marry” Massoud and endure his sexual abuse.

Will Conroy, Intellinews, November 03 2018:... Its Iran strategy has even included aligning with the cult-like Islamic-Socialist Iranian opposition group Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MeK).

Daniel Larison, The American Conservative, October 31 2018:... Rudy Giuliani shills for the Mujahideen-e Khalq (MEK) again: We strongly support the largest and most organized Iranian opposition, known as the Mujahedin e-Khalq (MEK). The MEK has no support inside Iran, and it has scant support among Iranians in the diaspora. They cannot be the “largest” opposition group when they have virtually no supporters outside…
