Bob Menendez
Mujahedin Khalq; A proxy force

Regular News on the MEK’s Corrupt Advocates

Frequent news on corrupt American politicians who have been ardent advocates of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) once more came to Bob Menendez, after John Bolton and Rudy Giuliani’s disgraces.

Nadine Menendez, the wife of the convicted former US senator Bob Menendez, was sentenced to 4.5 years in prison for selling the powerful New Jersey politician’s influence in exchange for bribes of cash, gold bars and a luxury car, the Guardian reported.

Bob Menendez, 71, is serving an 11-year sentence after his conviction last year on charges of taking bribes, extortion, and acting as an agent of the Egyptian government.

In January 2025, Menendez was found guilty on 16 counts, including bribery, corruption, and conspiracy to act as a foreign agent, after receiving more than $500,000 in cash, $100,000 in gold bars, and a Mercedes-Benz.

In June,  Menendez arrived at a federal prison to begin serving an 11-year sentence for accepting bribes of gold and cash and acting as an agent of Egypt.

Menendez was also a top recipient of campaign contributions from donors with ties to the MEK. He met Maryam Rajavi and continued to address MEK rallies to promote it as a government-in-exile. He did not hesitate to state that he was a friend to the formerly designated terrorist group with cultlike attitudes called under the names of National Council of Resistance.

This is while the 2004 FBI report details the MEK’s engagement in “a complex international money laundering operation that uses accounts in Turkey, Germany, France, Belgium, Norway, Sweden, Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates.” This report also revealed “a complex fraud scheme involving children and social benefits” which is related to the group’s exploitation of the social assistance of children of Mujahed parents who had smuggled from Iraq to Europe and North America in the early 1990s.

Following Menedez’s trial, in March 2024, the Intercept reported that an analysis of the donor rolls shows that about 15 percent of the people who gave money to Menendez — including Moeinimanesh and Afshari — are linked to an Iranian exile group called the MEK.

According to the Intercept, Moeinimanesh, the chair of OIAC –Organization of Iranian American Communities, a front group for the MEK– who contributed $2,500, was one of a dozen Iranian Americans with links to the MEK or its affiliates that donated Menendez.

Afshari gave $1,000. “Giving money to people I think are nice is not illegal,” Afshari told The Intercept, of his contributions to Menendez’s legal fund. In total, MEK-affiliated individuals made up approximately 5 percent of the total funds raised, over $20,000, the Intercept assessed.

However, Menedez is not the only corrupt supporter of the Cult of Rajavi. In August, the FBI raided the home of John Bolton, President Donald Trump’s former national security advisor. The search was part of an investigation into whether Bolton illegally shared or possessed classified information. And, in December 2023, a federal jury in Washington, D.C., ordered that the former New York City mayor, Rudy Giuliani, pay $148 million to two Georgia election workers whom, as determined by the judge in the case, Giuliani had defamed by claiming they had helped steal the election from Donald Trump. Bolton and Giuliani are among the most out-spoken supporters of Maryam Rajavi. They have so far received six-digit sums of money from the MEK multi-million-dollar lobbying campaign.

It seems that those who admit to advocate the MEK, are either naïve or corrupt. The list of MEK’s ardent supporters who are under investigation, trial or convicted as criminal is getting longer. This indicates that corrupt politicians are proper targets for MEK agents to buy their support in exchange for hefty sums.

In the central square of Tirana, the “Albanian Dignity” rally was held with wide participation of citizens. This action was a response to the insults of the leaders of the Rajavi sect and a support for Iranian mothers who are expecting their children.
Nejat Society Albania emphasized that the voice of families never dies, and no wall can divide the love between relatives.

On Friday, September 12, 2025, the Nejat Society Albania organized a grand social gathering in the central square of the city of Tehran under the title “Albanian Dignity”.

In this activity, which was accompanied by the distribution of brochures and friendly conversations, citizens participated with great enthusiasm and showed once again that the voice of justice never dies.

This symbolic action was a clear response to the years of oppression and crimes of the People’s Mujahedin organization against the Iranian people; especially to the mothers who wait with a sad heart to see their children, spending their days and nights with longing and pain.

These mothers are a symbol of resistance and love, and their call for justice will never be forgotten by history.
The leaders of this organization have recently, with insulting and inappropriate words, called Albanians “poor”; but this people, with dignity and pride, stood firm in the face of this insult and showed that no humiliation can harm the pride of Albanians.

Nejat Society Albania throughout the world and the path of reunification of fathers, mothers and children in the Manza camp becomes closer.

We believe that no wall can divide the love between families and their relatives.

Maryam Rajavi’s Ten-Point Plan and Internal Practices

As members of the Mujahedin-Khalq (MEK) are reportedly subjected to forced religious rituals, forced hijab, forced dress code, forced celibacy, forced labor, forced self-criticism and gender separation, available evidence suggests that Maryam Rajavi does not fulfill the points of her ten-point plan within her organization.

Numerous reports from former members, human rights organizations, and investigative journalists detail a highly authoritarian and cult-like environment within the MEK, directly contradicting the democratic and human rights principles espoused in Rajavi’s public agenda.

The following are examples of the contradiction between Maryam Rajavi’s ten-point plan and what is actually being done within the MEK, extracted from non-Iranian sources. Therefore, the documents – which are included at the end of the article

– do not provide any evidence that Rajavi is implementing the provisions of his ten-month plan within his organization.

–Former members have consistently described mandatory participation in ideological sessions, self-criticism rituals, and adherence to strict dress codes, including forced hijab for women, even outside of Iran.

–The policy of forced celibacy, implemented by the MEK leader Massoud Rajavi in the late 1980’s and continued under Maryam Rajavi’s leadership, requires members to divorce their spouses and abstain from sexual relations, ostensibly to focus solely on the “revolution”.

Based on Massoud Rajavi’s doctrine, “revolution” refers to “ideological revolution” which is a cult jargon in the MEK that requires members to dedicate their entire being to the cause of the group.

–Gender segregation is also widely reported within MEK camp and facilities, further contradicting any claims of gender equality or individual freedom.

In a quite brief review, it is detected that the above-mentioned practices stand in stark contrast to the principles of freedom of religion, freedom of choice, and gender equality outlined in Maryam Rajavi’s ten-point plan, which advocates for a democratic, secular and non-nuclear Iran.

Michael Rubin
Mujahedin Khalq Organization's Propaganda System

Michael Rubin: the MEK seek to deny or silence discussion about their inconsistency

The prominent American journalist and former Pentagon official, Michael Rubin asserts that, the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) and its umbrella National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) seek to deny or silence discussion about the inconsistency in their activities rather than explaining about it.

In reply to the MEK’s representative, Ali Safavi’s letter to Middle East Forum’s editor, Rubin writes, “Organizations that prioritize ad hominem invective over dispassionate debate, do so because they understand they cannot win with facts”.

Ali Safavi claims that Rubin persists in amplifying the narratives of the Iranian government against the MEK by criticizing the group in his articles including the one he published on July 7, 2025 commentary in the Middle East Forum Observer (“Iran’s Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization Is Now Irrelevant. Will It Disband?”).

Admitting the responsibility of what he wrote Rubin said, “Mr. Safavi is correct that I have criticized the Mujahedin-e Khalq on several occasions based on its history, behavior, and opacity.” However, Rubin properly notified that rather than acknowledge its choices the MEK, often deflects with ad hominem attacks.

“If the Mojahedin-e Khalq and its various proxies have nothing to hide, they should welcome transparency rather than criticize it,” he added.

As the director of policy analysis of the Middle East Forum, since 2023 to present, Rubin declares that “The Middle East Forum would welcome the opportunity to have a public, unscripted interview with Maryam Rajavi, president-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, to discuss the organization’s past and address the many concerns that the group continues to sidestep”.

Michael Rubin (born 1971) is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI). He previously worked as an official at the Pentagon, where he dealt with issues relating to the Middle East, and as political adviser to the Coalition Provisional Authority. He has written several articles criticizing the MEK, its leaders and its front organizations like NCR.

MEK, a complex security challenge for Albania

The Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) is currently under criminal investigation in Albania for suspected cybercrime, inciting war, and other offenses, according to Balkan Insight. This comes after Albanian authorities conducted a raid on their Ashraf 3 camp in Manza, Durrës, on June 20, 2023.

The investigation, led by Albania’s Special Structure against Organized Crime and Corruption (SPAK), centers on allegations including “provocation of war,” “unlawful interception of computer data,” “interference with computer data,” “interference with computer systems,” and “misuse of devices”. These offenses are suspected to have been committed within the framework of an “organized criminal group”.

During the raid, police seized approximately 150 devices, including computers, laptops, and USBs. Albanian authorities state that the raid was conducted lawfully and that the MEK had committed to refraining from political activities when they were resettled in Albania between 2013 and 2016.

Beyond the recent raid, the MEK has faced other accusations and investigations. In March 2021, Facebook accused the MEK of running a “troll farm” from their Albanian base, leading to the closure of over 300. There have also been reports of former MEK members alleging restrictive practices within the camp, including limited contact with family and strict internal rules. Thus, the group’s presence and alleged activities pose several risks to Albanian national security, primarily due to its long-standing conflict with Iran and the resulting retaliatory actions by Iran against Albania. The MEK’s danger to Albanian national security stems from several factors:

Iranian Retaliation and cyberattacks

Albania’s decision to host approximately 2,500 MEK members between 2013 and 2016, resettled from Iraq, has made it a target for Iran. The Iranian government views Albania’s accommodation of the MEK, which presents itself as a future government-in-exile and allegedly carries out cyberattacks against Iran, as a hostile act. This has led to a significant escalation in cyberwarfare, with Iran launching damaging cyberattacks against Albania’s critical digital infrastructure.
For instance, on September 7, 2022, Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama publicly attributed a series of cyberattacks to the Islamic Republic of Iran, leading Albania to terminate diplomatic relations with Tehran. These attacks were believed to be retaliation for Albania sheltering the MEK.

Strain on Albanian Resources and International Relations

Hosting a controversial opposition group like the MEK places a significant burden on Albania’s security apparatus and diplomatic relations. The ongoing threat of Iranian retaliation necessitates increased cybersecurity measures, intelligence gathering, and law enforcement efforts, diverting resources that could be used elsewhere. The situation also requires Albania to seek continuous support from allies like the U.S. and NATO in the cybersecurity realm.

MEK’s Cult-like Behavior and National Security Implications

The concern that the MEK’s cult-like behavior poses a threat to Albanian national security is a significant aspect of the ongoing debate. Critics and former members describe the MEK as having a rigid hierarchical structure, demanding absolute loyalty from its members, and isolating them from external influences. This isolation and control over members’ lives could make them vulnerable to exploitation or manipulation, potentially leading to actions that are not in Albania’s best interest.
The potential for a group operating outside the full oversight of Albanian law, with its own internal rules and command structure, raises concerns about sovereignty and the rule of law. Moreover, if the MEK were to engage in activities that provoke international incidents or internal unrest, Albania’s national security could be directly jeopardized.

MEK’s unauthorized activities in Albania

Regarding the MEK’s violent background, Albanian authorities have specifically investigated allegations of unauthorized political activities, financial irregularities, and the use of their Albanian base, Ashraf 3, for cyber operations targeting Iran, which could be seen as a violation of Albania’s neutrality and sovereignty.
SPAK has been actively involved in these investigations, conducting raids and seizing assets as part of their inquiries into alleged money laundering and terrorist financing. The Albanian government stated that the June-2023 operation was based on suspicions of the MEK using Albanian territory for activities that violate the country’s laws and international agreements, specifically mentioning cyberattacks against foreign states and the unauthorized use of their compound for political and security operations. These investigations are ongoing and involve allegations of money laundering, tax evasion, and the misuse of their humanitarian status.
The Albanian government’s actions suggest a growing concern that the MEK’s presence and activities are not merely a humanitarian issue but a complex security challenge requiring robust legal and investigative measures.

Iranian Opposition Group’s Stay in Albania Turns Sour

Albania’s hosting of an exiled Iranian opposition group was never likely to be easy. Now it’s under criminal investigation.
Between 2013 and 2016, Albania welcomed around 2,500 members of an exiled Iranian opposition group, resettled from Iraq after coming under attack from pro-Iranian groups in the wake of dictator Saddam Hussein’s fall.

Albania says that, under the deal, Mujahedin-e-Khalq [People’s Mujahedin of Iran], or MEK, committed to refrain from political activities.

A decade or so later, however, MEK finds itself under investigation on suspicion of cybercrime and inciting war.

Experts say it is hardly surprising, and reflects a failure on the part of Albanian authorities to monitor the activities of a group vehemently opposed to the Islamist regime in Iran.

“Probably the Albanian authorities were well aware about the dangers involving the decision to welcome [MEK], so it is clearly a failure that they were not kept under monitoring in order to prevent security breaches,” said international relations expert Endri Tafani.

MEK members around Durres hospital

The Trace of Maryam Rajavi in an Internal Tragedy of the MEK

The Trace of Maryam Rajavi in an Internal Tragedy of the MEK / What Do the MEK Do with Their Corpses?

Rokna Political Desk: Informed sources have reported that two women from the Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK) were observed making multiple suspicious visits to the General Hospital of Durrës, Albania, which serves as a facility for storing corpses.

According to Rokna, the Ashraf 3 terrorist camp in Albania has recently faced a deeply concerning situation, linked to the bodies of members who had been hospitalized due to old age, various illnesses, and even suicide. These corpses have now become a burden for the organization.

Mysterious Movements Around the Hospital
Reliable sources have revealed that two female members of the MEK have on several occasions made suspicious movements through the back entrance of the General Hospital of Durrës, Albania — the very location where corpses are kept.

Reports indicate that these visits were carried out secretly to remain hidden from public view. However, these activities have fueled speculation regarding several recent deaths among the elderly and sick members of the organization.

The morgue at the Durrës hospital is exactly where these women were seen, and it appears these movements were intended to manage the consequences of the deaths of frail members of the group.

Appalling Conditions of Sick and Elderly Members
Multiple reports have highlighted the critical situation inside the MEK organization. According to these accounts, under the direct orders of the group’s leaders, especially Maryam Qajar Azdanlou (Rajavi), elderly and sick members are kept in extremely poor conditions and are strictly prohibited from leaving the camp.

These individuals, most of whom are advanced in age and suffering from serious illnesses, are not only deprived of basic medical care but also endure unbearable physical and psychological pressures.

At the same time, attempts by members to separate from the organization or to obtain proper medical care face strict prohibitions.

Bitter Testimonies from Former Members
One former member of the organization stated explicitly in an interview: “The MEK leaders deliberately abandon sick and discontented members in horrific conditions in order to prevent them from disclosing confidential information. The death of these people does not matter to the organization’s leaders. In fact, at times, such deaths are even exploited as tools for propaganda and victimhood.”

The Need for Human Rights Intervention
Numerous warnings have repeatedly been issued by different circles that Rajavi’s organization, through severe restrictions and mind control, has effectively taken its members hostage, depriving them of their most basic human rights.

Amir Yaghmaei at Camp Ashraf-Iraq
Former members of the MEK

The darkest night for an MEK child soldier

Amir Yaghmai, former child soldier of the Mujahedin-e Khalq recounts of one of his most traumatic memoirs of his involvement with the MEK which he considers as “one of the most painful and deepest scars” in his life. That was the night that MEK’s top commanders tortured him and his mother because he had asked to leave the group.

On the eve of the American invasion to Iraq in 2003, Massoud Rajavi, called all members of Camp Ashraf to gather in a large hall. “He began by describing the sensitive political situation at the time and the serious threat posed by the United States against Iraq,” Amir Yaghmai writes in his memoirs. “He then said that in these circumstances, MEK members must maintain their focus and no longer be involved in the issue of defection or “cutting off” of individuals. Therefore, each member must sign a new contract in which he undertakes not to ask for leaving the group for the next two years.”

Amir was shocked. He had wanted to leave the MEK for years but hadn’t been able to. “Each time I had been forced to sign different contracts for different reasons,” he writes. However, this time, the matter was more serious than ever. Massoud Rajavi was officially ordering members to stay in the isolated Camp Ashraf. “You were supposed to keep your mouth shut for two years, not to express a single doubt.”

Amir told himself: “I won’t sign! They can do whatever they want! Take me to a confession session, quarantine me for two years, send me to Abu Ghraib prison, or hand me over to the regime! It doesn’t matter! I can’t take it anymore.”

This was also his response to his commander when he asked Amir to sign the contract. Consequently, Amir entered a traumatic cycle of bribery, threat, intimidation and humiliation.

First, the MEK leaders tried to bribe him promising to allow him to have a home in Baghdad, and to get married –the possessions that are forbidden for MEK members. This was a promise made by Maryam Rajavi, Massoud Rajavi’s third wife but it was presented to Amir by Mohammad, the son of Massoud who was also a child soldier and a friend of Amir’s.

Nevertheless, Amir replied Mohammad Rajavi: “I want to be free, to go for a walk without a barbed wire or a guard tower in front of me. To love. To sing. To wear the clothes I want. To see the world. I won’t go and regret the unseen. Not just to get married.”

When the first tactic did not work for the cult commanders, they tried to threat Amir and pressure him by intermediating an emotional tool: his mother.

“In a large room, around an oval-shaped conference table, the high-ranking commanders of the MEK were sitting: Ahmad Waqef, Mahmoud Ata’i, Fereshteh Yeganeh, Mahvash Sepehri, Mohammad Rajavi… and my mother!”, he pens.

Nasrin (Mahvash Sepehri) told Amir: “When you joined, your mother guaranteed that you would never leave us. Now she has to come with you, go into quarantine for two years, and then be sent to Iran with you. Then, she has to find a way back—if she gets arrested, she has to commit suicide.”

Amir shouted at them shouted: “You have no right to make my mother the victim of my decision! I am responsible for my own choices. I am twenty years old!”

Fereshteh Yeganeh opened a folder and showed him. His mother’s signature, and all the oaths he had been forced to sign over the years. Amir protested that all of this was by force. “If my mother is leaving with me, I am not leaving at all!” Amir told them. Nasrin replied emotionlessly, “If you want to stay, you have to defend your choice. We are not convinced yet.”

They kept Amir and his mother in the room for over 9 hours, until the dawn. During the entire hours, the commanders were insulting Amir, calling him “traitor”, spitting on his face and his mother was watching him with weeping eyes.

The next morning, Amir had been coerced to sign a new contract. “I signed a new contract which had nothing for me except humiliation,” he writes.

This is how he describes that night: “The night at Camp Ashraf, when just because I wanted to leave the organization, they made me go under the most severe stress, threat, insult, and humiliation. Worst of all, my mother, who was an old member, was also tortured before my eyes in order to force me to confess that I was wrong. Seeing tears and sufferings of my mother was one of the most painful moments of my life.”

MEK trial
Iran

Report on the 35th court session of the MEK’s trial

The 37th court session examining the charges against 104 members of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) as well as the organization’s nature as a legal entity, was held on August 19th, in branch 11 of the Criminal Court of Tehran Province, presided over by Judge Amir Reza Dehghani.

Maddah, the attorney of the plaintiffs once more presented the cases of victims of the Israeli attacks against Iranian nuclear scientists. He explained that victims of the attacks are considered as victims of a collaboration between the MEK and the invading enemy and then, this is a crime according to the laws.

Nezhat Shaban Azad is the wife of Fereidoon Abbasi Davani, the nuclear scientist who was killed in June 13th attacks. She took the stand at the court and explained how her husband was killed by the explosions at that night.

According to his wife’s testimonies, Fereidoon Abbasi was thrown out in the street from the 13th floor of their residential building. A neighbor, a retired man, was also killed.

Shaban Azad told the court that her husband had survived a first Israel-MEK led attack in 2010. He noticed the magnetic bomb that a motorcycle rider placed on their car.

She said: “The first time the Zionist regime attempted to assassinate my wife (15 years ago), we filed a complaint against the Zionist regime, the MEK, and the US government because Israel had officially claimed responsibility for the assassination. At that time, our lives were severely affected, and my wife and I were forced to separate our workplaces for greater security. But this time, we were attacked in our own home. Violation of the privacy of individuals’ homes is absolutely unacceptable, and I am filing a complaint against it.”

This complaint is still ongoing and Abbasi family have not been informed of the outcome yet.
Anne Singleton, a British citizen who was a member of the MEK for 8 years, took the stand as a witness.

“I have known the MEK organization for 47 years,” she addressed the court. “I was one of its supporters for twenty years and I have been its enemy for twenty years, and I have written books about the MEK.”

“Saddam’s Private Army” and “The Life of Camp Ashraf” are two of her books on the MEK.
“I left the MEK because I realized that they were people who influenced people’s minds,” she said. “After leaving them, it took me a while to get better, and after I felt better, I created a website called Iran Interlink.”

Base on Singleton’s testimonies writing in both English and Persian on her website, her intention was to bring the social and political situation of the MEK and their destructive ideas into limelight.

About the recruitment process the MEK agents use to recruit her, Singlton said: “Their recruitment and brainwashing process started in such a way that they sent messages and constantly asked me to do tasks so that I didn’t have time to think and figure out where I was going and what I was doing. Until in 1992 they asked me to come to Iraq for military training.”

She added: “For 10 years I had a different life. In one aspect I was a British person with a job, family and friends and in another aspect I was addicted to the MEK, I did whatever they wanted and I couldn’t separate myself from them and after 10 years in 1989 I had a personal crisis and in this personal crisis I had to choose one and I chose the MEK, the MEK separated me from my family and I had no contact with my family anymore.”

Singlton explained why the MEK recruits foreign nationals: “I was in the MEK’s team house in London and also in their team house in Sweden. They took me to Iraq for three months. They said that was for military training, but they didn’t use me as a trained person. They had people more trained than me for their operations. Instead, they used me as a passport. I say passport because Saddam paid them money for each passport.”

Ann Singleton (Ann Khodabandeh) married another MEK defector, Massoud Khodabandeh in Londen. Massoud Khodabandeh has previously attended the trail of the MEK and its leaders.
The next court session will be held on September 4th, 2025.
