Michael Rubin, Washington Examiner, July 18 2021:... It may not be illegal to participate in a Rajavi rally or to attach one’s name to a ghost written Mujahedin-e-Khalq piece in the same way that Gen. Mike Flynn did with Erdoganists, but it does signal an embrace of greed above principle and a willingness to sell out the freedom agenda. Giuliani’s transformation of…

Anne Khodabandeh (Singleton), Press TV, July 06 2021:... For three decades the MEK has had to pay for audiences and speakers alike to attend ever more lavish carnival-like rallies to showcase Maryam Rajavi’s ‘leadership’. Year on year under her rule, the MEK has become more and more toxic and indefensible. To the point that now Maryam Rajavi has become persona…

Anne Khodabandeh (Singleton), Iran Interlink, June 25 2021:... Rudi Giuliani is the latest in a long list of people who have advocated for Rajavi and the MEK, who have fallen from grace. Giuliani is, of course, the architect of his own downfall. His support for the MEK played only a small part in his long, often unsavoury career. (Sacha Baron…

Dave DeCamp, Anti War, July 21 2020:... A frequent guest of the MEK, Giuliani spoke at Friday’s conference, calling for regime change and railing against the mullahs. “To me, the mullahs are like the people who ran the mafia, the people I prosecuted who ran the mafia and extorted their people,” Giuliani said. The former mayor also praised Maryam Rajavi, the MEK’s…

Sorayya Abdollahi, Nejat society, Tehran, July 07 2020:... According to a website of the Albania based Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK, MKO, Rajavi Cult), you have made a speech as an MP (even though you had resigned in 2019) for “the International Online Conference on Freedom and Democracy in Iran” on June 20, 2020, in an online conference held connecting about…

Matt Friedman, Politico, June 11 2020:... Amy Kennedy’s main opponent in the 2nd Congressional District’s Democratic primary, Brigid Harrison, has made Patrick Kennedy’s finances a campaign issue, and is calling the fee he earned from the opposition group People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (MEK) for the speech he delivered in February 2019 “dirty money.” MEK paid Patrick Kennedy — the…

Julian Pecquet, Al-Monitor, January 08 2020:... The disclosure raises new questions about ties between United Against Nuclear Iran CEO Mark Wallace and the National Council of Resistance of Iran, a Paris-based umbrella group dominated by the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq. The council also met twice with President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani around the time of the UN General Assembly, drawing renewed…

Walid & Theodore Shoebat, Shoebat.com, December 22 2019:... MEK Money Laundering . Vox in fact received a substantial amount of cash from the People’s Mujahideen of Iran (the MEK) which, until recently, was classified as a terrorist organization but nonetheless has been getting American backing thanks to people like Rudy Giuliani, John Bolton and Newt Gingrich. With such high level…

Nora Doyle-Burr, Valley News, December 02 2019:... Giuliani referred to Ryan as “Dr.” because she holds a doctorate in health care administration from Warren National University, an online school that closed in 2009 following a failed accreditation bid. He also referred to Ryan as a “doctor” when he represented her daughter Vanessa, his personal assistant, in an insurance fraud case…

Casey Michel, The New Republic, October 16 2019:... Giuliani’s been leading a crusade on behalf of the Mujahideen-e Khalq (MEK), a cultish Iranian opposition group listed, until earlier this decade, as a foreign terrorist organization by Washington. Politico described Giuliani’s involvement with the group as a man “gorging at the table of Islamo-Marxist terrorists who have murdered Americans”—a relationship from which Giuliani has apparently profited handsomely,…

Jonathan Broder, Newsweek, August 28 2019:... Many independent scholars say the MEK's alliance with Saddam in that long and bloody war turned the group into traitors in the eyes of most Iranians. In the 1990s, the Rajavis instituted a number of cult-like measures to prevent defections. According to a 2005 Human Rights Watch report based on interviews with several defectors,…
