Lucien Bruggeman and Soo Rin Kim, ABC News, November 01 2019:... Perhaps Giuliani’s most controversial foreign client has been the Mujahideen-e Khalq (MEK), an Iranian opposition group designated by the State Department in the late 1990s and early 2000s as a foreign terrorist organization. Giuliani’s affiliation with the MEK predates the Trump administration by several years, but reflects the breadth…

Benjamin Weinthal, The Jerusalem Post, October 31 2019:... The institute’s scholar added that “indeed, many Iranians continue to insist that the only thing worse than the regime under which they suffer now would be the MEK.” Rubin, who spent time in Iran during the presidencies of Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani and Seyyed Mohammad Khatami, wrote that “there was only one…

Reza Alghurab, American Herald Tribune, October 28 2019:... Albanian Police announced in a press briefing on Wednesday they have dismantled an ‘Iranian terrorist cell’ that allegedly planned an attack against the Mujahedin-e Khalq organization (MEK, a.k.a MKO, NCRI), a controversial Iranian group with a history of conducting terrorist attacks against Iranian civilians in the 80s. The truth is Prime Minister…

Press TV, October 27 2019:... In March 2018, two people were held in Albania but set free for lack of evidence. At the time, an opposition leader denounced the announcement as a ploy by Socialist Prime Minister Edi Rama to divert attention from Tirana’s failure to start entry talks with the European Union.

NBC News, October 21 2019:...One of Giuliani’s longest running paid relationships belongs to a fringe Iranian group accused of killing six Americans in the 1970s. Giuliani has been delivering paid speeches and meeting with representatives of the Mujahedeen e-Khalq (MEK) since at least 2010, he previously told NBC News.

Iran Interlink, October 19 2019:... Another example of this mercenary approach is that MEK appear to believe some executions are good executions while some executios are bad. nOne article in particular lists all the executions committed by the MEK themselves; from killing Americans in Iran, the executions of Kurds in Iraq, right up to recent executions in Albania like Malik Sharai.…

Iran Interlink, October 11 2019:... MEK supporters are falling like flies. John Bolton resigned/was pushed. Giuliani is fighting his corner over the Ukraine scandal. Netanyahu’s boast that Iran would be reduced to rubble has not materialised. And President Trump is pushing for peace, not war. For Farsi commentators this is yet another sign of the end of MEK. They lost…

Ebrahim Khodabandeh, Iran Interlink, October 10 2019:... Now the Iranian Maryam Rajavi, leader of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK, MKO, NCR, NLA, Rajavi Cult) is playing (and has played for a long time) the same role as the Iraqi Ahmad Chalabi, this time in relation to Iran. On Monday September 30, 2019 in Washington, the group, which has close ties…

James Bovard, The American Conservative, October 07 2019:... Federal law prohibited taking money from or advocating on behalf of any designated terrorist group. Yet a 2011 Huffington Post headline reported, “Former U.S. Officials Make Millions Advocating For Terrorist Organization.” That didn’t seem to matter much to former FBI boss Louis Freeh, former CIA boss Porter Goss, co-chair of the 9/11…

The Leader News, October 07 2019:... Saudi relationships with the MEK became public when Prince Turki Al-Faisal, former chief of Saudi Arabai’s intelligence agency, praised the group after participating in MEK’s annual gatherings in 2016 and 2017 in Paris. It could be argued now that after MEK’s relocation to Albania, the tiny Balkan country has turned into a playground for…
