The international Internet blackout in Iran has been going on for fifty days, and even Iranian government officials are aware that the Internet blackout has caused great damage to the country&#8217;s macroeconomics. Meanwhile, the propaganda machine of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) claims that they are concerned about the Internet blackout for the Iranian people and are worried about &#8220;news censorship&#8221; and &#8220;censorship of the people&#8217;s voices.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This is despite the fact that 80 million Iranians have had access to the global internet in one way or another for years, and this access has only been cut off in times of war and security crisis, but residents of the MEK camps have not had access to the free internet for more than four decades. \u00a0Smart phones are forbidden at Camp Ashraf 3.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, the leaders of the MEK never admit that the &#8220;MEK\u2019s holy fighters&#8221; living in Camp Ashraf 3 in a remote village in Albania are under the hierarchical supervision of dozens of people responsible for their limited use of the Internet. While the Iranian people enjoy watching a variety of satellite television channels, MEK members are only allowed to watch &#8220;Simay-e Azadi\u201d, the MEK\u2019s satellite TV channel.&#8221; The MEK satellite channel, which focuses solely on the fight against the Iranian government, and if it shows anything else on very limited occasions, it is censored images of the most irrelevant news of the day in the world, without the presence of women or with severe censorship.<\/p>\n<p>The MEK propaganda machine ridicules the Iranian Minister of Communications for acknowledging the right of all Iranians to full and quality access to the global Internet, while Mohammad Mohaddesdin, a senior member of the so-called National Council of Resistance, in an interview with the Voice of America, fundamentally denied the censorship and isolation of MEK members from the free world.<\/p>\n<p>It is a familiar habit of the MEK propaganda machine to project onto others everything that Massoud Rajavi\u2019s dictatorship suffers from, and to brazenly claim to be pro-freedom and pro-democratic.<\/p>\n<p>Mazda Parsi<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following the US and Israel&#8217;s attack on Iran and the killing of Iranian officials, soldiers, and civilians, the Internet blackout has been a painful part of the consequences of the&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":16216,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[99],"tags":[21405,547,680],"module":[81],"ctype":[17],"blog":[3],"class_list":["post-16215","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mujahedin-khalq-organizations-propaganda-system","tag-ashraf-3-camp-mek-base-in-albania","tag-contacting-ashraf-inhabitants","tag-mko-members-in-albania","module-article","ctype-story","blog-nejat-bloggers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16215","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16215"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16215\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16216"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16215"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16215"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16215"},{"taxonomy":"module","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/module?post=16215"},{"taxonomy":"ctype","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ctype?post=16215"},{"taxonomy":"blog","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blog?post=16215"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
