With Trump gone , is the MEK finished ?
Aawa Association (Mardom TV), November 21 2020:… With Trump gone it may now be possible to find workable solutions to the issues raised in this debate. The horrible situation of individual MEK members can be effectively resolved by providing them real choice about their futures. A cost effective and straightforward plan would be to issue visas to their families and allow them to visit their loved ones in the camp. Once reconnected to this network of support, members can choose whether to remain with the MEK or live freely with their loving families for the remainder of their lives. With Trump gone , is the MEK finished ?
Donald Trump Is At War With Iran, Not ISIS
With Trump gone , is the MEK finished ?
Moderated by Mr Parsa Sorbi this live online debate on Mardom TV, addressed this question. A panel of nine experts talked about the many various and complex aspects of this issue.
The political: How did the MEK end up in Albania, and what difference might the change in US president make to the MEK’s future – will the MEK’s role in cyber misinformation be curtailed, will the Iranian diaspora be enabled to flourish without MEK suppression. How should Albania treat the MEK now that relations with the US will change, and what approach has the European Union taken in the past few years in dealing with the MEK’s unwanted behaviour.
The MEK’s presence in Albania: How Albanians discovered that hosting the MEK has resulted in the toxification of their country’s government, media, judiciary and security services. Panellists question the MEK’s impunity – from building an extra-territorial, extra-judicial enclave in which its enslaved members are disappeared, to how senior MEK members enjoy access to the institutes of state that Albanians are denied in their own country. At the same time, ordinary members are denied basic human rights and are effectively stateless.
In conclusion: With Trump gone it may now be possible to find workable solutions to the issues raised in this debate. The horrible situation of individual MEK members can be effectively resolved by providing them real choice about their futures. A cost effective and straightforward plan would be to issue visas to their families and allow them to visit their loved ones in the camp. Once reconnected to this network of support, members can choose whether to remain with the MEK or live freely with their loving families for the remainder of their lives.

Massoud Khodabandeh, Iran Interlink, October 28 2020:… leading up to the U.S. Presidential election, Iranian-American journalists and other commentators and campaigners are suffering an onslaught of online attacks. Some of these relentless Tweets include death threats.

In the final days leading up to the U.S. Presidential election, Iranian-American journalists and other commentators and campaigners are suffering an onslaught of online attacks.

On one occasion even Richard Grenell, who has recently been politely expelled from Germany (they really couldn’t stand his regular racist comments and unacceptable interference in European affairs), now the guy who runs the Trump2020 campaign, has retweeted one of these tweets.

A Trump campaign official is smearing Iranian Americans w/racist dual loyalty charges & amplifying a fake Twitter persona run from an Albanian troll farm by the MEK terrorist group.

Revealingly, the Trump campaign has joined in with these attacks, amplifying the threats, harassment and lies through Re-Tweets and Shares on social media.
It is common knowledge that Saudi Arabia’s Sheikh Mohammad Bin Salman (MBS) is seriously worried about the departure of Trump, opening the prospect of investigations into the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, ordered by him and carried out in the Saudi Embassy in Turkey. The Mojahedin-e-Khalq for their part are both worried about the future of their new benefactor (Saudi’s Mokhaberat after the fall of Saddam), and worried about their own future as pressure on Albania to give them free rein there may be lifted and the members would be subjected to the plan of deradicalization and integration as was planned by the Obama administration. This will place Maryam Rajavi in a particularly difficult position since she was deported from France and has been confined in Albania without the possibility of being granted a visa from any western countries.
