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.

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…

Professor Gary Leupp, Counter Punch, July 13 2018:... Who are these people?

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.

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.
