Their headquarters in Albania called Ashraf 3, was raided by the Albanian State Police. The camp\u2019s residents clashed with forces violently. The Move by the Albanian police came after the French government banned the group\u2019s planned annual gathering in Paris.<\/p>\n<p>The MEK could finally run its multi-million-dollar rally based on a French court order, but it could never play the part of a popular opposition group against the government in Tehran. Several undeniable, clear key points are seen regarding the news, reports and pictures that have been published since the MEK\u2019s gathering, which indicate that the Cult of Rajavi is not considered an opposition group, but it is regarded a fraudulent force that has targeted Western politicians. The followings are some true facts on the MEK\u2019s unpopularity:<\/p>\n<h3>Albanian government turned its back against the MEK<\/h3>\n<p>The Albanian State Police entered Ashraf 3 under the Albanian judicial order. The Police confiscated more than 200 computers from the MEK\u2019s camp. This shows the government\u2019s determination to end the perilous presence of the MEK in the territory. It seems that the group is seriously under scrutiny by the Albanian authorities. Eventually, The Albanian President, Edi Rama said, \u201cMujahedin must leave Albania if they want to fight Iran.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-15072-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/dld.nejatngo.org\/Media\/Report\/Reporttv-Ashraf-20230620.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/dld.nejatngo.org\/Media\/Report\/Reporttv-Ashraf-20230620.mp4\">https:\/\/dld.nejatngo.org\/Media\/Report\/Reporttv-Ashraf-20230620.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dld.nejatngo.org\/Media\/Report\/Reporttv-Ashraf-20230620.mp4\">to download the video file click here<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Forced Hijab<\/h3>\n<p>During the \u201cWomen, Life, Freedom\u201d movement in Iran, forced hijab of female members of the MEK and particularly their so-called president elect, Maryam Rajavi, not only distanced the group from other opposition groups but also it stimulated their hatred towards the group. Signs of a suppressive and totalitarian system are demonstrated in the uniform clothing of the group members.<br \/>\nAn evident presentation of hijab control in the MEK was revealed in a video broadcasted after the Albanian Police raided the group\u2019s camp. A Mujahed woman, named Homa is advised by her peer \u201csister\u201d to cover her hair -of which a little is shown out of the front part of her headscarf. When Homa does not pay attention, she gets a direct order to cover her hair from a superior \u201csister\u201d. Finally, Homa who is speaking a rather good English to the Albanian reporters is coerced to cover that small part of her hair.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-15072-2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/dla.nejatngo.org\/Media\/Report\/MEK-Woman-202306.mp4?_=2\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/dla.nejatngo.org\/Media\/Report\/MEK-Woman-202306.mp4\">https:\/\/dla.nejatngo.org\/Media\/Report\/MEK-Woman-202306.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Rented Crowd<\/h3>\n<p>Rent a crowd is the repeated scandalous image which is often seen in the MEK\u2019s rallies. The frequent undisputable presence of a rented crowd that was once more displayed in the group\u2019s recent gathering in Paris. The crowd includes Muslim Mideasterns who look for shelter in Europe, African refugee seekers, poor students from Eastern Europe and other fooled people who look tired and bored of waving the flags of a country that they might not have any idea about.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15073\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15073\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15073\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/MEK-Paris-20230701-2-S.jpg\" alt=\"Rented Crowd at teh MEK's so called gathering in Paris- July 2023\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/MEK-Paris-20230701-2-S.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/MEK-Paris-20230701-2-S-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/MEK-Paris-20230701-2-S-585x329.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-15073\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rented Crowd at the MEK&#8217;s so called gathering in Paris- July 2023<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>Other Iranian oppositions<\/h3>\n<p>Opposition figures have several times declared their detachment from the Cult of Rajavi clearly. The group\u2019s violent background, its collaboration with Saddam Hussein during the Iran-Iraq war, its cult-like attitude, undemocratic structure and forced hijab are main reasons for opposition groups to denounce the MEK.<\/p>\n<p>The fact was even considered by the French Police when it banned the MEK\u2019s gathering. According to France 24, there is a fear among European officials that after the 2018 foiled plot, NCRI rallies could themselves be targets of attacks, but in the letter seen by AFP, The French Police chief also warned: &#8220;The rally could be the scene of tension between supporters of MEK and other Iranian opposition activists.\u201d The fear of the French Police Chief is quiet reasonable because clashes between the MEK supporters and demonstrators of other Iranian exiled groups frequently take place.<\/p>\n<p>A few days later, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/posts\/15065\">Alireza Akhondi<\/a> the Iranian-Swedish politician, twitted, \u201cIt is necessary to convey to world politicians that the People\u2019s Mojahedin Khalq organization does not speak on behalf of the Iranian people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Akhondi\u2019s words and numerous other assertions by Iranians inside and outside the country is a proof for the loneliness of Maryam and Massoud Rajavi despite their deep pockets of dollars to expend for buying supporters.<\/p>\n<p>Mazda Parsi<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are numerous facts on the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK)\u2019s unpopularity, not just among ordinary Iranians but rather among Iranian dissidents and opposition figures, and this unpopularity is growing.
