Tony Cartalucci, Global Research, June 09 2019:... MEK is described by Council on Foreign Relations Senior Fellow Ray Takeyh as a “cult-like organization” with “totalitarian tendencies.” While Takeyh fails to expand on what he meant by “cult-like” and “totalitarian,” an interview with US State Department-run Radio Free Europe-Radio Liberty reported that a MEK Camp Ashraf escapee claimed the terrorist organization bans marriage, using radios, the Internet, and holds many members… 2019/06/09

Lachlan Markay, Daily Beast, May 20 2019:... Source of MEK cash in London. According to domain registration data, the Iran Focus website was maintained by Mohammad Hanif Jazayeri, whom the NCRI website identifies as a spokesperson, until at least 2015, when the site anonymized that registration information. Neither Iran Focus nor Jazayeri responded to questions about the news outlet’s relationship with… 2019/05/20

Narges Mortazavi, Independent, May 08 2019:... Similarly, in 2017, at the gathering of Iranian opposition group Mujahedeen-e Khalq or MEK, Bolton said the policy of the United States should be “the overthrow of the mullahs’ regime in Tehran.” John Bolton was one of the main architects of the 2003 invasion of Iraq by George W Bush. And today he seems to be… 2019/05/08

Robert Mackey, The Intercept, April 09 2019:... Maryam Rajavi, the leader of an Iranian exile group known as the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq, or People’s Mujahedeen — which successfully lobbied to be removed from the official State Department list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations with the help of paid supporters like Bolton — also took credit for the new sanctions against the Revolutionary Guard Corps. The Mojahedin e-Khalq Aren’t… 2019/04/09

Mazda Parsi, Nejat Society, March 19 2019:... Imagine terrorist extremists attacking European citizens, cutting their throats with knife, breaking their hands, removing their eyes with fingers, and tearing their mouth open. Even imagining such scenes seems horrific but there are some people out there who have been trained to do so. A large group of these trained terrorists are members of… 2019/03/19

Iran Interlink, March 16 2019:... International Women’s Day, and many have written about women in the MEK’s Manez camp. They talk of the historic abuse of women members by Massoud and Maryam Rajavi, the slavery situation and the specific problems for women who don’t have any place to go if they run away. Many have compared their situation with domestic violence… 2019/03/16

Robert Fantina, Mondoweiss, March 02 2019:... The United States supports the MEK, once designated as a terrorist organization, but now welcomed into the U.S. family of violence. The MEK has as its goal the overthrow of the Iranian government and has killed thousands of innocent people. The United States and Israel are determined to isolate Iran and overthrow its government, and replace… 2019/03/02

Rohollah Faghihi, Al Monitor, February 22 2019:... The movie is about the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq organization, often referred to as MEK, and their infiltration of the Iranian security apparatus in the 1980s. US national security adviser John Bolton has promoted MEK, currently based in Albania, as an alternative to the Islamic Republic. The group, which was on the United States’ list of terrorist organizations between 1997 and 2012… 2019/02/22

Ebrahim Noroozi, Sputnik News, February 14 2019:... Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has responded to US President Donald Trump's comments about the 1979 Iran Revolution by urging Trump "to rethink failed US policy after 40 years of wrong choices".

Mazda Parsi, Nejat Society, February 14 2019:... It’s the dystopian substance of Oceania which fits so accurately with the Mujahedin Khalq Organization. It is 2019 and members of the MKO are living in an Oceania-like world. This means that ruling system in Oceania is not only a government but also a life style that removes individuality from human beings and make… 2019/02/14

Borzou Dargahi, Independent, February 05 2019:... MEK, a bizarre but influential Iranian political cult dedicated to overthrowing the government in Tehran. The group has cultivated strong ties to the Trump administration and others in Washington, as well as to Saudi Arabia, Iran’s arch-nemesis. Several leading Trump administration figures including John Bolton and Rudy Giuliani spoke at the 30 June event, though neither… 2019/02/05
