..many apparent non-Iranians came out as well, most wearing flags, headbands, and even yellow vests with images of the group’s leaders — Maryam and Massoud Rajavi — on the chest. Of this group, few seemed to have many details about the MEK, and instead pledged vague notions of support for human rights and democracy, often even getting the name of the MEK/MKO wrong…Some of the attendees had been bused and flown in at no personal cost, receiving transportation and in some cases lodging and meals.

The MEK denies that it supports terrorism…”If the MEK campaign is successful,”Trita Parsi, president of the National Iranian American Council said,”it means that America’s national security is officially on sale to the highest bidder, and terror groups are free to set U.S. policies if the price is right.”..
