Daniel Larison, The American Conservative, September 12 2019:...

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,…

More recently, investigative reports published by The Intercept, British broadcaster Channel 4 and Al Jazeera English have depicted MEK “troll farms” where members create thousands of inauthentic accounts on a daily basis and promote hashtags and tweets, targeting anyone that favours diplomacy with Iran.

Lachlan Markay, Daily Beast, August 09 2019:... “John Bolton,” the “exclusive” article added, “is a fervent supporter of MKO terror group,” using one of several acronyms for the Mujahideen-e-Khalq organization, or MEK.

Iran Interlink, August 02 2019:... A few Iranian outlets have referred to the MEK cyber group and troll farm and the photos of them that were leaked and spread on social media.

Robert Fantina, Counter Punch, August 02 2019:... The oddly named People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (known as the MKO or MEK), whose sole purpose is the overthrow of the people’s government of Iran, has been busy.
