Anne and Massoud Khodabandeh, Lobe log, March 09 2019:... Hommerich reported that inside the camp in Albania, MEK militants were still practicing the deadly techniques for combat taught them by Saddam Hussein’s Republican Guard—“cutting throats with a knife,” “breaking hands,” “removing eyes with fingers,” and “tearing the mouth open.” In 2017, the Trump administration reversed a 2013 plan by former Secretary…

Anne Khodabandeh, Iran Interlink, February 27 2019:... It is a mistake to approach the MEK as a normal opposition. Indeed, quoting MEK members is like giving a platform to Flat Earthers or Creationists. It is not balanced reporting. The MEK is a unique entity. Not an opposition, not a ‘group’ or ‘organization’, descriptions which imply a certain kind of accountable system…

Iran Interlink, February 22 2019:... MEK responded strongly against the revealing Der Spiegel article by Luisa Hommerich.

TRT, February 16 2019:... The MEK (Mojahedin Khalq, Maryam Rajavi cult) fought alongside Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. That led to them being branded traitors by the Iranian government, who executed thousands of political opponents, including MEK supporters, at the end of the war in 1988. The US State Department added the MEK to its list of terrorist organisations in 1997, and the exact…

Anne Khodabandeh (Singleton), February 10 2019:... Her desperate efforts to stay visible – parading on stage in glamorous outfits before paid speakers and audience – expose her ego rather than her leadership. As de facto leader of the MEK, Rajavi has successfully carved out a niche for the mercenary MEK in the anti-Iran front - acting out the silent wishes of…

Iran Interlink, February 08 2019:... Much Farsi writing this week concerned Pompeo’s Warsaw summit. Some highlighted Pompeo’s meeting with the controversial Masih Alinejad. Comments relevant to MEK point out that America has dumped Maryam Rajavi. Faramarz Dadras, a security analyst, commented that nowadays everybody can take photos with Pompeo except Maryam Rajavi. Therefore, those who paid MEK have wasted their money.…

Nejat Society, February 07 2019:... One of the fears expressed by many Iranians, people who detest the current regime but do not take active measures to overthrow it, is that because there is no clear alternative, they are afraid the West would interfere again and impose a regime they don’t want, such as the Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK)—the People’s Mojahedin Organization of…

Iran Interlink, February 01 2019:... As Pompeo’s Warsaw summit approaches, the MEK are on overdrive spewing out lies. In Farsi they have been caught out over five times putting words in the mouths of EU officials etc. which are simply lies. Farsi reaction says that US warmongers and their puppets are panicking, especially after Europe’s SPV announcement on trade with Iran…
