Mujahedin Khalq Organization’s Propaganda System

Propaganda and Cyber Operations of the Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MEK) Terrorist Group

1. Executive Summary

This report presents verified information and first-hand evidence on the propaganda methods, psychological operations and cyber activities of the terrorist organization Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MEK). The findings are based on the sworn testimony of Mr. Behzad Alishahi, a former member of the group, delivered during the 41st session of the public trial of 104 MEK members in Tehran on October 20, 2025. Mr. Alishahi’s statements provide a clear picture of the MEK’s coordinated media and cyber network, operating from Camp Ashraf 3 in Manëz, Albania, with financial and technical support from foreign actors.

2. Methodology

The report relies on three main sources:
– Mr. Alishahi’s official and public testimony before the Tehran court;
-Documentary and media evidence on MEK propaganda and cyber-operations activities;
– Comparative analysis of international reports, including Human Rights Watch (2005) and RAND Corporation (2009), documenting the sectarian structure and systematic human rights violations within the organization.
The data has been collected and analyzed with the aim of providing reliable material for United Nations human rights mechanisms and Special Procedures.

3. Parallel

The Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization of Iran (MEK) was founded in 1965, fusing Islamic and Marxist ideologies. During the 1970s, it carried out many assassinations, including the assassinations of American consultants to Rockwell International and Pan American Airlines.
After the Islamic Revolution of 1979, the group attempted to infiltrate the new political structures, but soon turned to armed confrontation. In June 1981, the MEK launched a violent uprising that killed hundreds of civilians and government officials, including President Mohammad-Ali Rajai and Prime Minister Mohammad-Javad Bahonar.
During the 1980s, MEK leaders fled to France and then to Iraq, where they collaborated directly with the Saddam Hussein regime and carried out cross-border attacks on Iran. The 1988 “Forough Javidan” (Operation Eternal Light) offensive led to the deaths of many Iranian soldiers and civilians, including women and children, and is widely considered a war crime and an act of treason.

After the fall of Saddam in 2003, US forces took control of Camp Ashraf in Iraq, and members were gradually relocated to Camp Ashraf 3 in Albania. Many international sources—including HRW (2005) and RAND (2009)—have documented coercive practices within the MEK: forced divorces, gender segregation, psychological conditioning, and imprisonment of dissidents.

In the past decade, with the loss of its military capabilities, the MEK has transformed into a foreign-sponsored propaganda and cyber machine. Hundreds of its members now work full-time online from Camp Ashraf 3, creating fake accounts and coordinated content to project a positive image of the sect and a negative image of Iranian society and government.
Documented examples include: • Spreading fake news about prison conditions and human rights issues in Iran; • Fabricating staged videos of so-called “hunger strikes” or “public protests”; • Collaborating with Zionist and Western media to spread distorted narratives; • Manipulative use of “human rights” or “democracy” slogans to lure vulnerable individuals abroad.

4. Findings (Testimony of Mr. Behzad Alishahi)

a) Personal context
Mr. Alishahi stated that he was a member of the MEK from 1984 to 2002, working mainly in the media and television section. In 1994, he was arrested and tortured within the organization after expressing internal criticism, and was then forced to continue working under surveillance.
b) Evolution of media activities
• Initially, the MEK published only one magazine called Mojahed and occasionally burned copies in public to attract attention. • During its stay in Iraq, the group produced Persian-language television programs under Saddam Hussein, with the aim of discrediting Iran during the war. • After moving to France, the MEK received significant financial and technical assistance from French entities, expanding into satellite broadcasts and digital networks.
c) Cyber operations in Camp Ashraf 3
According to the witness, members of Ashraf 3 work online 24 hours a day using fake accounts on platforms such as X (Twitter), Facebook and Telegram. The main objectives are: • Cleansing the image of past crimes and violence; • Historical revisionism and distortion of facts; • Recruiting supporters under the deceptive label of “human rights” or “pro-democracy”; • Artificially amplifying popularity through coordinated hashtags such as #FreeIran and #IranProtests.
d) Cooperation with foreign media and governments
Mr. Alishahi testified that several Western and regional media outlets cooperate with the MEK, often through paid publications or political influence operations. He cited the active support of France, Germany and Israel, which often use the MEK’s media infrastructure to spread anti-Iranian disinformation.
e) Declining public influence
He further stated that since the start of public trials in Iran exposing the MEK’s crimes, the group’s credibility in Europe has declined significantly. Events that once attracted hundreds of participants in Belgium now gather only a few attendees.

5. International Legal Framework

MEK propaganda and cyber operations clearly violate international law, including: • Articles 19 and 20 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), which prohibit incitement to hatred and violence;
• The International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism (1999); • UN Security Council Resolution 2396 (2017) on the prevention of the terrorist use of information and communication technologies; • The Budapest Convention on Cybercrime (2001), binding on European states, including Albania.
According to these instruments, any facilitation or tolerance of terrorist information operations creates state responsibility for the host state.

6. Analysis

The evidence and relevant evidence demonstrate that the MEK has evolved from an armed militant group into a structured information warfare apparatus. Today, it operates as a foreign-sponsored propaganda and intelligence agency engaged in systematic disinformation aimed at societal destabilization, delegitimization of Iranian institutions, and manipulation of international perception. Such activities constitute a form of non-state extremism and fall within the framework of international counterterrorism law.

7. Conclusions and Recommendations

Conclusions

• The MEK’s media and cyber divisions function as a coordinated information arm serving the political interests of foreign powers; • The group exploits the principle of freedom of expression in Europe to spread hate speech, falsified reports, and incitement against the Iranian nation; • The Government of Albania has an obligation to ensure that its territory is not used for terrorist cyber operations.
Recommendations
– The Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Iran and the Special Rapporteur on freedom of expression should jointly investigate the MEK’s propaganda and cyber activities;
– The Government of Albania should exercise effective oversight over Camp Ashraf 3 and limit any misuse of its digital infrastructure for hostile operations;
– UN Member States should conduct transparent reviews of the financial and media networks linked to the MEK;
– The United Nations Office for Counter-Terrorism (UNOCT) should study the MEK’s cyber network as a case of extreme non-state information warfare;
– The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) should examine the financial flows linked to the MEK’s online propaganda and its affiliated NGOs.

MEK Rally Participation: Incentives and Recruitment of Vulnerable Population

The presence of black American protesters at Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) demonstrations outside the UN assembly building is the most recent show-off of the group’s so-called public support.

The Afro-Americans have been photographed by the journalists outside the 80th session of the UN’s General Assembly (UNGA) on September 23, 2025 in New York City. They are often bused to locations like New York City. Their presence is primarily attributed to financial incentives and recruitment through intermediaries.

Reports indicate that individuals, often from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, are offered payment, food, and transportation to attend these rallies, sometimes without full awareness of the MEK’s background or agenda. Recruitment offers may target vulnerable populations, leveraging their need for income.

The MEK, with a complex history of terrorist activities, cult-like nature and extremism including a period on the list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations (from 1997 to 2012), has been known to employ various tactics to bolster its public image and demonstrate support.

Similar tactics are used by the MEK recruiters in Europe. People from various backgrounds, including Ukrainian and Syrian refugees and Asian university students are bused in to Paris, Berlin or Brussels in exchange for a sandwich, bus tour and a one-night stay in a hostel.

These tactics include organizing large-scale events and rallies, often relying on paid participants to create an impression of widespread backing.
The MEK’s ability to mobilize these groups stems from its significant financial resources which are derived from various sources including state sponsors like Saddam Hussein and eventually the group’s investments on the donated money.

The group’s strategy involves presenting a diverse appearance at its rallies to counter criticism of its limited internal support and to project an image of broad international backing for its agenda.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization's Propaganda System

Clear Difference Between Ashraf Residents and MEK Protesters

The clearly perceived difference between members of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) in their headquarters in Albania and their alleged supporters in the streets of western cities, is originated from varying contexts of public presentation and individual autonomy.

In the MEK’s camp called Ashraf 3, located near the village Manez, Albania, female members are coerced to wear uniforms and hijab, and male members are supposed to wear uniforms, long-sleeved shirts and pants. This disciplined appearance, reflects the MEK’s structured environment and its severe emphasis on collective identity. Moreover, in his recent message, the group’s disappeared leader, Massoud Rajavi evidently declared that Mujahed women (female members of the MEK) do not remove their hijab because he does not want to make the Iranian leaders happy!

Conversely, supporters of the MEK participating the group’s demonstrations in Western cities like Brussels or New York are typically individuals who may or may not be full-time MEK members.

Also, a large part of them are sympathizers who are kept related to the group by a family member who is an official member at Ashraf 3.

The appearance of public protesters is more likely to reflect personal choices, local cultural norms, and the diverse demographics of rented crowds, who are bussed from all over Europe or the United States to show up as Iranian diaspora. The Afro-Americans in the MEK’s recent rally outside the 80th session of the UN’s General Assembly (UNGA) on September 23, 2025 in New York City, are examples of rented protesters.

The so-called supporters of the MEK who wave the flags of the group’s logo and wear the yellow vests with the printed portraits of Massoud and Maryam Rajavi on them, are mobilized by the group’s front groups like OIAC (Organization of Iranian American Communities). The MEK leaders aim to present a mainstream and relatable image to Western audiences, which involves adopting contemporary Western attire rather that a cult-like uniform look associated with the MEK’s internal structure.

As a matter of fact, The MEK’s internal structure does not engage in free choice of clothing and appearance. MEK male members are not even free to choose diverse styling options for their mustache and beard. Only mustache is allowed for them.

This distinction between the appearance of MEK protesters and Ashraf residents highlights the strategic efforts of the MEK and its affiliates to project different images depending on the audience and setting.

Images of Ashraf 3 fosters a sense of internal burden while public demonstrations abroad prioritize to show off as a democratic movement that opposes both theocracy and monarchy. This is clear hypocrisy.

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.

Rudy Giuliani paid advocacy for Maryam Rajavi

Mujahedin Khalq Organization's Propaganda System

How much did Maryam Rajavi pay you?

Rudy Giuliani says he is “honored” to do interviews all day about Maryam Rajavi

Maryam Rajavi the leader of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) hosted former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani together with some other retired politicians in Rome, Italy. It seems that Rome gathering was an opportunity for former America’s Mayor to be “Honored to do interviews all day today about Maryam Rajavi and her ten point plan to have a free and democratic Iran”, as he stated on his X account. However, X users slammed him with a crucial question: How much did Maryam Rajavi pay him?

The exact amount Rudy Giuliani is currently paid by the MEK for speaking at or attending their rallies is not publicly disclosed in recent information. However, past reports and legal filings provide insight into his compensation from the group.

Giuliani has been a prominent advocate for the MEK for over a decade, participating in their events and giving speeches. While the precise current figures are not available, past estimates and statements shed light on his financial arrangements with the group. For instance, it has been reported by the Guardian in 2018, that speakers at MEK events have received between $30,000 to $50,000 per speech.

According to the report by Saeed Kamali Dehghan of the Guardian, John Bolton, another high-profile American politician who has spoken at MEK rallies, is estimated to have received upwards of $180,000 for multiple events, with a financial disclosure showing he was paid $40,000 for one speech in a particular year.

Rudy Giuliani says he is “honored” to do interviews all day about Maryam Rajavi

Giuliani himself has acknowledged receiving payment for his appearances. In a 2011 interview, Michael Mukasey, Giuliani’s former law partner and fellow MEK advocate, stated he was paid his standard speaking fee of $15,000 to $20,000 for talks at MEK-related events. While Giuliani would not elaborate on how much the group pays him for his appearances, he has defended his advocacy by stating that many other prominent U.S. politicians and military figures also participate in such activities. This was revealed in an investigative report on NBC News in October, 2019.

The financial arrangements between the MEK and its American political supporters, including Giuliani, have drawn scrutiny, particularly concerning compliance with the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). FARA requires American citizens to disclose lobbying or public relations work on behalf of foreign entities to the Justice Department, regardless of whether they are compensated.

According to NBC News, Michael Mukasey, for example, registered as a foreign agent lobbying pro bono for the MEK’s political arm in 2017, though he stated he was not compensated for his advocacy but would be reimbursed for expenses. The report of NBC stated that Giuliani, however, has maintained that he has no reason to register under FARA because he does not plan to speak to U.S. government officials about the MEK.

The MEK, a cult-like terrorist group with a complex history, was designated a foreign terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department until 2012. Despite its delisting, the group has attracted a network of American politicians who have been paid to advocate on its behalf. Critics, such as Daniel Benjamin, a former State Department counterterrorism coordinator, who was interviewed by NBC News have found it “distasteful” that these individuals “were shilling for this group even if it was delisted,” citing the group’s past actions, including the killing of Americans.

Moreover, the source of the MEK’s funding for these payments has also been a subject of speculation.

Regime change in Iran? MEK starts lobbying in the US, here’s what it aims for

The Iranian opposition in exile has begun lobbying in the US to gain the support of President Donald Trump.
And to accomplish this, a lobbying company close to the Republicans, called “Special Guests Publicity”, has been engaged, which has connections to Trump’s inner circle.

This lobbying company has agreed to help promote the views of the National Council of Resistance of Iran in the United States media.

According to the filings, NCRI, the diplomatic arm of the exiled opposition group, the People’s Mujahedin of Iran (MEK), has contracted with Special Guests Publicity LLC, a PR company based in North Carolina.

The Trump administration has reportedly been negotiating a new nuclear deal with Iran, having previously withdrawn from the Obama-era agreement. After threatening Iran with air strikes, Donald Trump turned to diplomacy to seek a negotiated solution with Tehran but failed to discourage Israel from taking unilateral military action.

While Special Guests Publicity’s main client is NCRI, the money for the consultancy works actually came from two little-known companies in the UK, Media Strategy Consulting Ltd (MSC) and Globeevents Consulting Ltd (GC).

Media Strategy Consulting claims on its website that it is a non-profit organization made up of journalists, lawyers, bankers, MBAs, lobbyists, speechwriters and marketing experts, although it does not name anyone specific. The company’s former director was Seyed Agha Shaheen Pour Ghobadian Zadeh, who was previously a registered lobbyist for the European Union.

Its current director is Eli Farham, who also created the website for Globeevents Consulting and a host of other Iranian organizations. In a 2014 press release about the persecution of Christians in Iran, she listed Media Strategy Consulting as her organization.

“Special Guests Publicity” was founded by Gerald McGlothlin, a publicist and media producer who is also the CEO of CleanTV. On its website, Special Guests Publicity has also promoted the Chinese anti-communist group Shen Yun, which has been criticized as a cult by some. Shen Yun is also close to the right-wing news website The Epoch Times.

Under what circumstances can MEK women violate the forced hijab law?!

A few weeks ago, the Middle East Forum published an article about the unpopularity of Maryam Rajavi among Iranian youth. The author stated that the reason for the unpopularity of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) among Iranian youth was the hijab of the leader and female members of the group.

Although the author of this article only addressed one of the reasons for the unpopularity of the MEK and did not consider important reasons such as the terrorist record, betrayals, and crimes of the MEK against the Iranian nation, his reference to the issue of forced hijab in Maryam Rajavi’s organization is worth examining.

What is clear is that in the MEK, the right to choose one’s clothing is very limited for members, both men and women. This restriction is even worse for women. In Maryam Rajavi’s ruling structure, the hijab is completely mandatory.

The rule of forced hijab for female members inside the MEK campa continues to this day despite the protests against forced hijab in Iran. A significant example is the case of a child soldier in the MEK, Damona Taavoni. During the Albanian police raid on Camp Ashraf 3, Damona, who was being interviewed by an Albanian news outlet, was warned by her superior about her hijab. The film went viral in the social media.

As a matter of fact, the MEK leaders, namely Maryam Rajavi, are unable to lift the restrictions on clothing for members within the group because breaking any of the organizational restrictions means breaking the cult bars. In an organization where there is strict gender segregation, forced divorce, and a ban on getting married and having a family, observing hijab and conservative clothing style is a very serious tool in controlling the members.

But in order to attract the attention of Western politicians and to purify their image among Iranian youth, the leaders of the MEK are forced to cover up the ban on hijab inside their camps. They allow certain number of their followers and sympathizers to show up in the group’s rallies without a veil on their heads. That is why in the images of events of the MEK that are held outside camp Ashraf 3 –with the mouth-watering titles of freedom, human rights, democracy, and women’s rights– Iranian girls are seen without hijab, albeit in relatively conservative clothing such as long sleeve jackets and suits.
These young un-veiled girls are usually chosen from among the daughters of the MEK members. These girls are the same former children who were separated from their Mujahed parents and were smuggled to Europe and North America in 1991. Girls like Militia Javedan, whose parents were MEK members and who were separated from their parents and passsed between several foster families in Norway. Today she serves the MEK office in Norway when ever they need a young modern woman to speak on behalf of the MEK.

A large number of MEK girls and its former child soldiers such as Atefeh Sabdani and Zhina Hosseinnejad, have managed to keep their distance from this organization and even criticize it, but many of these girls are still financially and even emotionally dependent on the MEK’s cult-like system because they may still have their mothers in Ashraf 3 or because they are like Damona still trapped in Ashraf 3.

MEK girls living in Europe, with their modern clothing, have the duty to be propagandists for the organization that has imprisoned their mothers in the village of Manz, Albania, in that remote camp. Given that their mothers are alive, they live in complete isolation from the outside world in a cult-like violent group that has required them to observe the compulsory hijab.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization's Propaganda System

The MEK Illusion of “International Support”

In recent years, the terrorist organization Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), under the leadership of Massoud and Maryam Rajavi, has persistently attempted to create a false image of legitimacy by showcasing superficial links with Western officials. In reality, the Rajavi cult seeks out elderly and retired politicians from Europe and the United States to fabricate an illusion of “international support.”

A prime example of this deception is the recent interview with David Jones, a former MP from Wales, aired on the group’s media outlet, so-called “Simaye Azadi.” Jones, who has long been retired from active politics, does not represent the official stance of the British government in any capacity.

This tactic extends beyond David Jones. Over the years, MEK has exploited the appearances or statements of figures such as:
– John Bolton, former U.S. National Security Advisor
– Rudy Giuliani, Donald Trump’s former personal attorney
– Patrick Kennedy, former U.S. Congressman
– Ingrid Betancourt, retired Colombian politician
– Alejo Vidal-Quadras, former Vice President of the European Parliament
– Giuliano Pisapia, former Italian MEP

And other retired personalities who either accepted financial donations or were drawn in by their anti-Iran stance—willingly or unknowingly serving the propaganda machine of the Cult of Rajavi.

A Reality Far from Their Propaganda

None of these individuals, especially in their current roles, hold any influence in official decision-making bodies. Their participation in MEK events does not reflect the policies of their respective governments and has sometimes drawn criticism from media and the public alike.

Conclusion: Unmasking Deceit through Responsible Awareness

Through relentless propaganda efforts, the Rajavi cult seeks to disguise its dark history with a polished exterior. It is incumbent upon journalists, human rights defenders, independent institutions, and free media to expose these manipulative tactics. The exploitation of retired figures, instead of genuine grassroots or political support, only underscores the group’s deep isolation and lack of credibility among nations.

Gazeta Impakt reveals MEK disinformation machine

The Albanian newspaper Gazeta Impakt reports on the fake news published by the Albanian Daily news on behalf of the MEK. the report reads:

Albanian Daily News spread disinformation about “1 thousand French mayors” supporting Maryam Rajavi
Anisa Skëndaj’s “Albanian Daily News” has joined Maryam Rajavi’s Mujahideen disinformation campaign in Camp Ashraf 3 in Manzë.

The “Albanian Daily News” portal recently published one of the MEK’s communiqués, without verifying the news that was provided to it by Maryam Rajavi’s Mujahideen command. In a news item published on April 14 by “Albanian Daily News”, it claims that thousands of French municipalities have lined up against Iran and support the elderly terrorist Maryam Rajavi.
Mujahideen commanders visiting media outlets in Tirana to publish news against Iran, Islam and Palestine.

This is the published news:
“More than 1,000 French mayors have signed a joint statement calling for an immediate halt to executions in Iran, citing the alarming increase in death sentences under the administration of Masoud Pezeshkian. The mayors clearly supported Ms. Maryam Rajavi’s call for the abolition of the death penalty and referred to her Ten-Point Plan, which advocates for justice, democracy and an end to executions in a free Iran in the future.”

The news, published at the behest of Maryam Rajavi and sent by commanders like Shahin Qobadi who visits Tirana media and offers money for the publication of fake news, does not contain any verifiable facts. No concrete information is given on this alleged “support” by the mayors of French municipalities for the cult of Rajavi, neither their names, nor their location, nor anything. Neither Anisa Skëndaj nor the MEK, which has provided the news ready for publication, provide any names of these mayors who are alleged to support the former MEK terrorist organization.

The news published by the “Albanian Daily News” is in the same line with the news that the MEK has spread before, in 2023 during the action of the FNSH and the State Police in their camp, when the MEK claimed that the Albanian police had killed them.

This fake news comes just days after the MEK pressured the Albanian government and Prime Minister Rama, through paid American senators, to allow this organization to continue attacks against Iran from Albanian territory, violating the national security of Albanians.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization's Propaganda System

The most recent illustration of MEK’s Cult-like nature

As a religious Marxist group, the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) mixes the traits of both ideologies. However, the rituals of the group is a pivotal representation of cult-like behavior.

The most recent image that was depicted by the group’s media proved the fact that the MEK is a cult. The image of residents of Ashraf 3 in Albania saying the prayers of Eid al-Fitr.

Eid al-Fiṭr is an Islamic celebration. It falls on the first day of Shawwal, the tenth month of the Islamic calendar. Eid al-Fitr is celebrated by Muslims worldwide because it marks the end of the month-long dawn-to-dusk fasting (sawm) of Ramadan.

Eid al-Fitr has a particular prayer that is generally performed in an open field or large hall. It may only be performed in congregation. Like many other Muslims around the world, the MEK’s rank and file perform the religious ritual near their newly-built mosque at Ashraf 3.

Nevertheless, the images of the Eid’s prayer at the MEK’s headquarters in Albania illustrates a sexually-segregated population wearing uniforms, repeating the same rituals with pale, dull faces without a hint of emotion in them.

Hamid Atabay, former member of the Cult of Rajavi testifies about Eid al-Fiṭr prayer saying that it took the group members a long time to get organized in the rows and they were forced to wear uniform clothing even for their socks.
