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… 2021/06/26

Massoud Khodabandeh, Lobe Log, August 23 2019:... So, when Giuliani says we should be “comfortable” with this group, right-minded people the world over can honestly and unequivocally answer, “No, we are not comfortable ignoring this harsh reality just because the MEK amplifies an anti-Iran message to the world, and no, we don’t believe the MEK have any kind of future… 2019/08/23

Iran Interlink, July 27 2019:... It’s become a fashion. Every week someone in the MEK’s Albania camp dies. This week two people died in the camp.

"I am not aware of the legal aspects of the allegations, but it is clear that the beneficiary of these… 2018/10/06
Professor Gary Leupp, Counter Punch, July 13 2018:... Who are these people? MEK was founded in Iran in 1965 as a revolutionary anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist organization dedicated to the violent overthrow of the U.S.-backed regime of the Shah. It sought to produce a synthesis of Shiite Islam and Marxism, an inherently problematic project that has been more or less abandoned, especially as… 2018/07/13
Rudaw, September 08 2016:... “These don’t necessarily need to be Sunni jihadists or Sunni Islamist groups,” he told Rudaw English. “It’s important to note that Riyadh sent a signal by having Turki bin Faysal give his approval to the MEK (People’s Mojahedin of Iran), an Iranian dissident group this summer. I would argue this is symbolic of Saudi’s pragmatism, but at… 2016/09/08
Judit Neurink, Rudaw, Erbil, June 24 2015:... Interlink, an organisation of former MKO-members in London, warned against the plans for the camp in Albania. “MKO will make a new enclave there that is outside the law, where they will be rearmed and invite people in for training,” said Massoud Khodabandeh, director of Interlink. Part of the deal arranged by ...… 2015/06/24
