March 8, 2025 was the most recent opportunity for the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) to run their propaganda machine under the slogans of freedom of Iranian women. The MEK-run rally called \u201cFree Iran\u201d in Washington DC was addressed by some US politicians like Congressman Brad Sherman, a member of the Israeli lobby, AIPAC and MEK\u2019s top supporter in the US Congress.
\nHowever, as it was expected, the speakers were slammed by the Iranian public, in social media. No matter, from which political view, all Iranians share one view in common: They despise the MEK.
\nAnd they showed their hatred towards the MEK by trending the hashtags, #MEKterrorists and #NCRterrorists, sharing links, videos, photos and articles to remind the American paid speaker of the MEK rally about the truth of the group\u2019s atrocities during the past fifty years against Americans, Iranians, Iraqi Kurds and their own members including women and children.
\nOn his X account, Brad Sherman, claimed that on International Women\u2019s Day, he \u201chonored the brave Iranian women who have risked and lost their lives to fight for freedom in Iran\u201d.

\nMr. Sherman claims that he honors Iranian Women by supporting #MEKterrorists
\nOn “International Women\u2019s Day”, he claimed to honor brave Iranian women who risked their lives for freedom; yet he stood with MEK (NCRI), a group notorious for abusing women and children.
\nLet\u2019s remind him “MEK\u2019s” real record on human (especially women\u2019s) rights.
\n1) Forced Divorce & Sexual Exploitation of Women
\nMEK banned marriage and family life to ensure absolute loyalty to its leader, Masoud Rajavi.
\n– Forced divorces; members had to separate from their spouses.
\n– Women were ordered to \u201cmarry\u201d Rajavi and perform naked \u201csalvation dances.\u201d
\n– Many were forcibly sterilized to ensure they never had children.

\nMEK ripped 800+ children from their families in Iraq and sent them abroad.<\/p>\n

\nMEK operates “like a cult”, punishing members for independent thought.

\n– Members were forced to write self-criticism reports.

\n– Ex-members expose horrifying abuse of women, children & dissenters.**

\nWe demand you to explain yourself!
\nYou claimed to honor Iranian women, but stood with a terrorist cult that enslaved and abused them.
\nHow on earth does supporting MEK\u2019s rally in DC help Iranian women?<\/p>\n
\nMaryam Rajavi is a terrorist who killed Americans and many Iranians, and they joined the war with Saddam, who killed Iranians, whether through bombings or assassinations. Iranians hate the criminal terrorist organization that you are promoting, shame on you, money is not everything.<\/p>\n
\nThe NCRI terrorists & MEK terrorists is islamomarxist cult many Iranian are living in your district and most of them hate that cult I warn you about that stop supporting this anti American and Israel cult who killed American citizens.<\/p>\n
\nThe People’s Mojahedin Organization (PMOI), also known as the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) or the Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO), has a complex history involving various violent and terroristic activities, especially during the 1970s and 1980s. Maryam Rajavi, a self-proclaimed leader within the organization, has been associated with the group during and after these terroristic periods. Below is a summary of documented violent and terroristic activities attributed to the MEK\/MKO\/PMOI\/NCRI:
\n1. Assassinations and Attacks in the 1970s:
\n\u2022 Targeting U.S. Personnel: Throughout the 1970s, the MEK orchestrated attacks against the Iranian state, resulting in the deaths of several Americans working in Iran, including military officers and civilian contractors.

\n\u2022 Attempted Kidnapping: In 1970, the MEK attempted to kidnap U.S. Ambassador Douglas MacArthur II.
\nhttp:\/\/en.wikipedia.org
\n2. Activities During the 1980s:
\n\u2022 Collaboration with Saddam Hussein: During the Iran-Iraq War, the MEK aligned with Iraq, participating in military operations against Iran.
\nhttp:\/\/en.wikipedia.org
\n3. Legal Issues Involving Maryam Rajavi:
\n\u2022 Arrest in France (2003): On June 17, 2003, Maryam Rajavi was arrested by French authorities, along with approximately 150 MEK members, on suspicion of terrorism-related activities. All charges were later dropped.
\nhttp:\/\/en.wikipedia.org
\n\u2022 Iraqi Arrest Warrant (2010): In July 2010, the Iraqi High Tribunal issued an arrest warrant for 39 MEK members, including Rajavi, accusing them of crimes against humanity related to their involvement in suppressing the 1991 uprisings against Saddam Hussein. The MEK denied these charges.

\nThis cult, the #MEKterrorists, is a Marxist-Jihadi terrorist group responsible for assassination of 6 Americans. Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) engaged in activities against American targets in Iran during the 1970s, reflecting their anti-imperialist stance. This included attacks on American corporations and personnel, which were part of their broader campaign against perceived foreign influence and imperialism in Iran.
\nThe names of Americans killed by the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) include:
\n– Lieutenant Colonel Lewis L. Hawkins** (killed in 1973)
\n– Colonel Paul R. Shaffer** (killed in 1975)
\n– Lieutenant Colonel Jack H. Turner** (killed in 1975)
\n– Robert R. Krongrad, William C. Cottrell, Jr., and Donald G. Smith** (all killed in 1976).<\/p>\n
\nThey don’t want peace in lran. They want a Civil war. The iranian people are ready to die
\nBut these terrorist traitors will not Accept it.<\/p>\n
\nMr. Sherman, This cult you\u2019ve cozied up to, the #MEKterrorists, is a Marxist-Jihadi terrorist group responsible for assassinating Americans. They are also antisemitic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
