Helen Buyniski, Russia Today, February 08 2020:... While this would seem to outlaw the tactics of groups like Sleeping Giants whose literal goal is to get those it unilaterally deems ‘fascists’ deplatformed by ginning up outrage mobs against them, Twitter is unlikely to defend the victims of such groups, if pastbehavior is any indication. Which begs the question: what constitutes ‘serious harm’, or…

Daniel Moattar, Mother Jones, January 16 2020:... Trump was bragging about his tweet in Persian being the most retweeted Persian-language tweet. But much of that retweeting happens by these bots, and through these online activist cyber armies like the MKO (Rajavi Cult, MEK, NCRI, ...) . Their activism, now, is basically tweeting. They have these halls of aging activists sitting behind computers and…

Lee Fang, The Intercept, January 12 2020:... VOA Persian now provides wall-to-wall positive coverage for hard-line regime change advocates. The network provides reliably favorable coverage of Mojahedin-e Khalq, or MEK, the militant opposition that has worked with Israeli intelligence to carry out assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists, even providing a platform for Heshmat Alavi, a fake persona created by MEK. The network’s journalists…

Matt Novak, Gizmondon UK, January 04 2020:... What is even more mysterious is the person or people behind Alavi’s Twitter account. The Intercept reported in June that Alavi, who has been used as a source by the White House, does not appear to be a real person.

Michael Lipin, Voice of America (VOA), November 08 2019:... Speaking to VOA Persian, OIAC board member Alex Arzabak said the group’s social media team first noticed the suspension of their account as they were preparing to tweet about Wednesday’s event.

Nejat Society, October 31 2019:... Fortunately Jowhari won the election. However, the so-called Heshmat Alavi is the outcome of a team work by the MEK members who slur each and every person who advocates for peace and diplomacy with Iran. This team never stops demonizing all those who believe in engagement rather than war and sanctions and Jowhari is not…

Shenaz Kermalli, Ricochet Media, October 26 2019:... And on Thursday, a highly followed but fake Twitter account associated with the Mujahideen-e-Khalq (MEK), a cult-like group from Iran that has a history of engaging with Canadian politicians, added to an ongoing online smear campaign against Jowhari by tweeting a long thread urging Canadians to unseat him. MEK Trolls in Albania are activated against Canadian MP Secret…

David van der Wilde, NPO Radio, October 20 2019:... The Mojahedin Khalq (MEK) troll bunker A good example of this is the story of the MEK. An Iranian Mojahedin cult with its own troll bunker in Albania. The group even managed to come up with its own writer in addition to the propaganda tweets: Heshmet Alavi . A 'writer' who…
