Iran Interlink, March 21 2020:... Everyone in the world is affected by the Coronavirus crisis and the MEK are not excepted.

Anne Khodabandeh (Singleton) , Iranian.com, March 01 2020:... From its first arrival in Albania in 2013, the MEK continued its antagonistic anti-Iran political activities. In 2017, the Trump administration overturned plans to de-radicalize the MEK members. Instead, the MEK built an extra-territorial garrison to house the enslaved members so they wouldn’t escape. Emboldened, the MEK was able to coerce the…

Iran Interlink, February 23 2020:... ++ With the elections in Iran, the MEK sided with Brian Hook, demanding that people don’t vote, etc. Farsi reaction to this included those who ask ‘why don’t you have elections? If Iran’s elections are not good enough for you, why don’t you and your benefactors in Saudi Arabia hold elections yourselves? None of you…

Iran Interlink, January 31 2020:... In Albania, former MEK member Hasssan Heyrani wrote a note which explained that “MEK used to lobby the Albanian security services with tales, saying that we ex-members are agents of the Iranian regime and are plotting against them and up to no good.

Iran Interlink, January 24 2020:... The Americans use MEK there to provoke Iran, but Iran doesn’t react. In Farsi this is a well-known scenario. Everyone knows what is happening. For the MEK it is a dream come true. This is what they have asked from the CIA before – to be able to silence ex members. Some writers have exposed…

Nejat Society, Tehran, January 14 2020:... After the fuel demonstrations in Iran were quashed, Iran’s right wing claimed the MEK was behind the violent unrest. The MEK also claimed they were behind it.

Iran Interlink, January 10 2020:... After the illegal assassination of general Qassem Soleimani, videos and audios in support of president Trump flooded Farsi social media. These all turned out to be fake. The only ones that were true were MEK outlets, which genuinely support Trump. Very quickly an audio emerged from Massoud Rajavi – presumed dead – as the only…

Nejat Society, December 22 2019:... The most iconic and prominent father and son in the MEK are Massoud Rajavi and his son Mohammad. Mohammad was an infant in the safe house where his mother Ashraf was killed in an armed clash between the MEK agents and the Iranian forces in Tehran. He was then taken to Iraq and then to…

Iran Interlink, December 20 2019:... Iran International TV ran an interview with Massoud Khodabandeh about the rumour that France would be deporting Maryam Rajavi to Albania. Khodabandeh explained that a false Tweet about this issue was sent from a hijacked official account. But the news is true and for the past year the MEK has been severely curtailed in France…

Iran Interlink, December 06 2019:... The point that Massoud Rajavi’s rant has only been issued in Farsi (and from Massoud Rajavi who is presumed dead and not the current leader Maryam Rajavi) shows this has been done only to shut up the dissent inside the camap rather than being about biting the hands feeding them. Ebrahim Khodabandeh of Nejat Society…
