The MEK and its affiliated fronts – the NCRI, Maryam Rajavi etc – have gone all out to praise Saudi Arabia for attacking Yemen.
It is not the first time they have praised Saudi Arabia for just about anything at all [an indication of the needy relationship Rajavi has with the country].
Fars News reproduced the MEK praise alongside praise from Israeli media such as the Jerusalem Times, showing they are carbon copies of each other’s’ position.

Iran Interlink congratulates fifteen young Iranians who have now arrived in America following their escape from the pernicious hold of the Rajavi cult; aka Mojahedin Khalq organisation (MEK).
The fifteen individuals have been accepted as refugees by the United States and were flown to Los Angeles on 21 March. This group is part of a quota of 80 from the 3,000+ MEK members which the US agreed to accept from the temporary transit camp Liberty (aka Hurriyeh) in Iraq. The government of Iraq and the United Nations are coordinating efforts to have all the residents transferred to third countries as soon as possible. Only the cult leader Massoud Rajavi is obstructing and resisting this inevitable process.
The group of fifteen comprises ten men and three women. All of them are young. They were previously moved to Albania, where over 400 MEK were transferred over the past two years. The MEK were forced to concede to pressure from the UN to allow these people to leave Camp Liberty and be given refugee status in Albania. Rajavi chose those residents who were of least use to him; many are old or sick. Some, like these young people, had been deceived into joining the MEK quite recently and had been able to resist the full cult indoctrination process which older, long term members have been subjected to for years.
Even so, Rajavi has tried to re-impose cult conditions in Albania, sending top commanders from Paris to threaten and blackmail and bribe the new arrivals. All those who arrived in Tirana did so on condition they sign all kinds of documents and statements written by the MEK to say that they are agents of the Iranian regime and have committed any number of ‘sins’ and ‘crimes’ as defined by the cult. This is done in an attempt to prevent people from leaving the MEK, or if they do, preventing them from speaking out about conditions inside the group.
In Albania the MEK has instructed these transferees that they must un-register with the UNHCR and not to attend interviews or accept any help from the UN. The MEK have ‘replaced’ the UN’s grant of $300 pm with a bigger payment of $500 pm as a bribe so that individuals will not break away from their control. The MEK has issued false information about these individuals, saying that the UN has evicted them from its accommodation and forced them to group together to pay for alternative accommodation. This is untrue, it is the MEK which is providing other accommodation on the condition that individuals do not speak out against them. The MEK use intimidation and coercion, telling the refugees their power comes from the Pentagon – they show cards purporting to be ID cards issued by the Pentagon- and that they must obey and take back their applications for refugee status. (Remember, these are people who have been held incommunicado in MEK camps in Iraq for many, many years and have no idea what is happening in the real world.)
America has agreed to take 80 of the residents of Camp Liberty. The MEK have lied to those in Albania, whom the US immigration officials have interviewed and cleared for acceptance, telling them they should not accept to go because the quota only applies to those in Camp Liberty. Of course, these fifteen young people have seen through this deception, pointing out that they came from Camp Liberty and are therefore legitimately part of that group.
After arriving in Los Angeles several of the young people contacted former MEK members who offered their support and advice. The MEK, of course, are trying to re-recruit them again over there and have again offered financial assistance on condition that they do not register with the UN, that they only live in MEK accommodation, that they do not speak out against the MEK and that they sometimes come and work with them – doing Facebook clicks for example. The young people have firmly rejected this, and some have already begun to write against the MEK in blogs and websites.
Former MEK members have been able to reassure them that if they stay clear of the cult, even if they have to struggle in the short term, their lives will be transformed and they will be successful in regaining normality and progressing in all areas of life – family relations, work and social status.
Now that America has taken these fifteen the message to everybody is clear: the MEK’s pretence of being supported by America, Israel and Europe is absolutely untrue. America is not run by Rudi Giuliani or John Bolton. America does not support the MEK. Instead, America fully supports the efforts of the government of Iraq and the UN to remove the MEK from Iraq. These young people have clearly been fooled by the MEK and taken to Iraq under duress. They are demonstrable victims of cultic deception. America is happy to support their reintegration back into normal life, and will help another sixty five individuals as soon as possible. It remains now for the European countries, Canada and Australia to take their share of these victims and set them back on the path to recovery and a normal life.
A senior Iraqi parliament member said reminding the crimes committed by terrorist groups such as the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO also known as MEK, NCRI and PMOI) is why holding the International Congress of 17000 Iranian Terror Victims is important, warning that ISIL is currently pursuing the same ideology promoted by the MKO.
Iraqi MP Hunain Al-Qado said the importance of reminding MKO’s crimes stems from the fact that some people try to keep these crimes under wraps.
He said the terrorist groups all pursue a shared objective, and added, “There is no difference between the ISIL’s terrorist acts in Iraq and Syria and Mojahedin-e Khalq’s terrorist acts.” “These groups use the same methods and have similar purposes which is creating fear and terrorizing civilians. So, what is going on now in Iraq is the continuation of MKO’s ideology.”
Emphasizing the need for cooperation among the regional countries that have been targeted by terrorist groups, al-Qado said, “On account of the arrogant powers’ struggles against Iran as well as their efforts in sowing the seeds of chaos in the Axis of Resistance, which is made up of Syria, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon and most probably Yemen in the future, it is vital to set up strategies in order to encourage integrated efforts in these countries and other countries which are a victim of terrorism.”
“There is, and must be, a coordination between Iran and Iraq in fighting terrorism, since the growth of terrorism in Iraq threatens Iran’s stability,” head of the Democratic Shabak Assembly added. “So it is vital for Iran to back Iraq in the fight against terrorism, which is an effort in protecting security and territorial integrity of Iran and neighboring countries.”
The Iraqi MP finally made a reference to the killing of Shabak minorities at the hands of ISIL following the bombing of the holy shrines of two Shia Imams in Samarra, and added, “There has been organized attacked against Shabak minorities to expel them from Mosul.” “Most of them have been killed and their houses were destroyed before the eyes of the local authorities. During the last year, ISIL occupied their villages and blew all their mosques out of the water,” he concluded.
Mr. Mahmoud Rahmani MKO former member joined his family after 27 years.
Mr. Mahmoud Rahmani who was a POW of Iran-Iraq war in 1987, was deceived into joining the Cult of Mujahedin-e Khalq .
Mr. Rahmani who was forced to stay with the group for 27 years, transferred to Albania from Temporary Transit Location, Iraq.
In Tirana far from the Cult boundaries and strict manipulation practices, Mr. Rahmani managed to release himself from the cult.
Now, he is with his family after about a quarter of a century. When he left his family, his son was a 3 year old child. Now he is a 30 year old married young man.
Within the mind manipulating cult of MKO, having contact with the family members both within and outside the Cult Camps is forbidden.
A former member of the anti-Iran terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) revealed the group’s close relations with the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) terrorist group.
Ghorban Ali Hosseinnejad said the leaders of MKO (also known as MEK) maintain strong ties with the ISIL Takfiri group in Iraq and Syria.
The MKO leaders had pinned hope in ISIL to seize control of the Iraqi capital of Baghdad after the northern city of Mosul fell to ISIL forces last summer, Hosseinnejad was quoted by Iraqi Al-Masalah website as saying.
“When Mosul was occupied by ISIL militants, the MKO supported ISIL and described the seizure of the city as popular Iraqi revolution,” the defected member of the terrorist group stated.
Militants from the so-called Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant overtook Mosul and a number of cities last June, as the group marched across large sections of Iraq and Syria.
The Iraqi army, backed by volunteer forces, has managed to retake parts of the occupied territories and the operation to liberate Mosul will begin in the near future.
The MKO – listed as a terrorist organization by much of the international community – fled Iran in 1986 for Iraq and was given a camp by former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.
They fought on the side of Saddam during the Iraqi imposed war on Iran (1980-88). They were also involved in the bloody repression of Shiite Muslims in southern Iraq in 1991 and the massacre of Iraqi Kurds.
The notorious group is also responsible for killing thousands of Iranian civilians and officials after the victory of the Islamic revolution in 1979.
More than 17,000 Iranians, many of them civilians, have been killed at the hands of the MKO in different acts of terrorism including bombings in public places, and targeted killings.
Back in December 2011, the United Nations and Baghdad agreed to relocate some 3,000 MKO members from Camp New Iraq, formerly known as Camp Ashraf, to the former US military Camp Liberty outside Baghdad.
The last group of the MKO terrorists was evicted by the Iraqi government on September 11, 2013 to join other members of the terrorist group at Camp Liberty and await potential relocation to other countries.
Around 800 students from Krakow agreed to travel to the German capital to party, to explore and to support an Iranian organization accused of terrorism. “I signed up for this event, because it’s a cheap way to go on a
foreign trip and do sightseeing in Berlin.” Chalicka Iga is a student from Krakow. She is one of the approximate 800 Krakow students who are going to Berlin for a meeting held on March 7 by the People’s Mojahedin. A few years ago this organisation appeared on lists of international terrorists. Similar trips have also been organized in other Polish cities.
Advertising for the trips seems tempting – the total cost of travel in both directions and stay in a hotel with breakfast is only 15 euros or 65 zł. The problem is that most young people have no idea who is organizing the Berlin Conference, and what will be happening in it. The organizers for the trip from Poland have created a Facebook page for the invitation but do not give specifics.
On the page you can read that the theme will be “the protection of and respect for human rights and the struggle for democracy in Iran.” But we are not told which Iranian group is organizing the conference. However, there is a warning that “if you leave the meeting, you will be made to pay the full costs of your travel and stay in Berlin”.
When we called the number given on the web, we were told that the organizers are associations supporting the struggle for democracy. The person responsible for compiling the departure list would not, however, give us a Polish contact for the tour. Facebook is the only information we had and it says that “the subject is the same as every year in Paris”.
The point is that in 2008 the People’s Mojahedin held a rally at Charles de Gaulle airport. That was attended by around 3.5 thousand Polish students and was met with criticism from Iran. The Iranian ambassador in Warsaw said that this event, in which a terrorist organization could deceive students, was a humiliation for Polish society.
Until yesterday the authorities of Kracow University did not know about the Berlin trip. In the same way as the Paris Conference, Professor Anna Krasnowolska from the Department of Iranian Studies at Jagiellonian University learned about the Berlin Conference in March from us. Professor Krasnowolska said “I advised my students not to participate in this. The way in which it is organized shows that the concept of democracy is foreign to the People’s Mojahedin”.
When articles began to circulate on the Internet showing the true face of the Conference in Paris, some students began to sell their tickets for the trip to Berlin. “I preferred to withdraw from participation in the meeting altogether. I even heard that the Americans refuse to issue visas to those who were at a similar conference”, the student from Krakow told us.
The People’s Mojahedin mixes Islam with Marxism. The group contributed to the overthrow of the Shah, but after the revolution lost the battle for influence against supporters of the ayatollahs. After the invasion of Iraq into Iran in 1980 they joined forces with Saddam Hussein and fought on his side at the front in that war. They lost support inside Iran, and are hated by the Iranian opposition for siding with Saddam. They have little influence in exile.

Former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani says US President Barack Obama is making an “extremely reckless” mistake in its policy regarding Iran’s nuclear energy program.
Giuliani, who was speaking at a gathering organized by the anti-Iran terrorist group, Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) in the German capital Berlin, called on the Obama administration to take a tougher stance against Iran during nuclear negotiations.
Iran and the P5+1 group of states – the US, Britain, France, China, Russia, and Germany – are holding negotiations to narrow their differences on the outstanding issues related to Tehran’s nuclear program ahead of a July 1 deadline for the final agreement.
Giuliani also spoke strongly in support of giving refuge to members of the MKO living at Camp Liberty in Iraq, located at a former US military base.
“What he (Obama) is doing with Iran right now is extremely reckless and it’s going to create an Iranian-controlled northern Middle East,” Giuliani claimed.
The event venue in Berlin was mostly filled with students lured in from Poland and the Czech Republic. Several told the Associated Press they were offered a return journey and hotel in Berlin in return for their participation in the gathering.
Iran has previously condemned Washington for backing the terrorist group, saying MKO bribes US politicians in order to gain public support in the West.
MKO has been involved in numerous crimes against Iranian citizens and politicians.
Despite the group’s international notoriety, the European Union and the US removed the group from their list of terrorist organizations in 2009 and 2012 respectively
Iran’s permanent UN mission in New York dismissed as "baseless" and "fake" the recent claim that was raised by the terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO, also known as MEK, NCRI and PMOI) and appeared on 
a US daily about Iran’s nuclear program. "It is regrettable that the newspaper (Washington Post) has released false and repeated claims of a terrorist grouplet whose anti-human nature is evident to all," a statement by the Iranian mission said on Wednesday, FNA reported.
It added that the extremist and radical groups which are witnessing the failure of their useless attempts to turn Iran’s peaceful nuclear technology into a security case and the growing failure of Iranophobia policies embark on lying and black propaganda against Tehran.
The statement underlined the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program, and said as stated in the International Atomic Energy Agency’s reports, Iran and the IAEA are cooperating at a good level and Tehran is committed to its undertakings based on the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
According to Washington Post, the terrorist MKO on Tuesday claimed that Iran was conducting secret research with the aim of developing nuclear weapons.
It claimed that underground labs in suburban Tehran had been used since 2008 to enrich uranium. It said the plant, named Lavizan-3 after the neighborhood where many officers and their families live, is reached through tunnels leading from under a building ostensibly used to process passports and identity cards.
Meantime, Washington Post underlined that claims could not be independently verified and US officials had declined to comment.
Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani said on Monday that the country’s logical approach in talks with the world powers and its transparent cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog had caused the world states to admit that Tehran’s nuclear technology is for peaceful purposes.
Addressing the opening ceremony of the meeting of Science Ministers of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) member states, President Rouhani stressed that in the today world nobody could ever claim that Iran’s nuclear program is non-peaceful.
Also, on Thursday, Iran’s envoy to the IAEA Reza Najafi said the latest report by the UN nuclear watchdog on Iran indicated that the country’s nuclear activities were transparent and the alleged concerns of certain western states were baseless.
"The detailed report inclusive of the places, the number of centrifuges and their types, the amount of enriched and not enriched materials, the number of manufactured fuel plates and reports on numerous inspections all in all indicate full transparency of Iran’s nuclear program," Najafi said.

No country accepts giving asylum to the remaining residents of Camp Liberty except Iran
In an interview with Iraqi media, the Human Rights Minister of Iraq Mohammad Mehdi al Bayati also touched on 
the issue of the Mojahedin Khalq and the remaining people in Camp Liberty near Baghdad.
He was asked about the situation of these people. He replied that “the MEK has been designated a terrorist organisation by the United Nations and the United States hence has not been eligible for refugee status after the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003. We have however looked at their situation with the help of the Interior ministry but we have not found any legal basis for them to remain in this country”.
He also added “We have informed the Red Cross and United Nations in Baghdad that Iraq rejects the presence of these people and their temporary accommodation is based only on the humanitarian nature of our help”. He added that “All other countries have declined to give asylum to these people, but Iraq has approached the Islamic Republic of Iran through our ambassador in Tehran and officials there have responded that all the MEK members have been pardoned and can come back to Iran without being prosecuted. There are, of course, 50 names of the leaders of this group who do not enjoy the blanket pardon given by Iran.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has strongly rejected allegations about the existence of an underground nuclear research center in the northern part of Tehran as claimed by the terrorist Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO).
In a Wednesday statement, Iran’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations called the allegations reported by The Washington Post “baseless” and “fake”.
“It is regrettable that the newspaper has released false and repeated claims of a terrorist grouplet whose anti-human nature is evident to all,” the Fars news agency quoted the statement as saying.
It reiterated that Iran’s nuclear energy program is peaceful and the allegations by the terrorist group are made out of desperation as Tehran has adopted a logical approach towards the issue.
On Tuesday, the Post quoted MKO members as saying the site, referred to in the report as “Lavizan-3”, has been used “since 2008 to enrich uranium”.
Similar claims by MKO have previously proven false while the group continues attempts to turn the matter into a security.
