++ Daniel Larison, The American Conservative, \u2018The Disgraceful Pro-MEK Campaign Continues\u2019. The MEK is neither moderate nor democratic, and it seeks only the aggrandizement of its leaders. The group is understandably distrusted and loathed by most Iranians for its past record of hostilities against Iran, and it doesn\u2019t speak for any of the legitimate opposition to Iran\u2019s regime \u2026<\/p>\n
++ Nimnegah, translated by Nejat Society. \u2018Alireza Amiri defected from the MKO Cult in Albania and returned to his homeland\u2019. After long years of captivity behind the physical and psychological bars of the Mujahedin-e Khalq Cult, Mr. Amiri managed to release himself from the Cult and returned to his family. The Amiri family did their utmost to liberate their beloved son. Amiri family who are members of Nejat Society West Azarbaijan, 41Iran branch, wrote several letters to the human rights bodies such as Amnesty International, HRW, etc. They also met the Red Crescent representatives and emphasized on the release of their beloved son Alireza. The cult leaders eventually were forced to transfer Alireza to Albania along with some other residents of Camp Liberty. In Tirana, far from the closed affaires of the MKO Cult, Mr. Alireza Amiri parted away with the group and contacted his family.<\/p>\n
++ Sharq News (Translated by Nejat Society) \u2018Iraq to facilitate the meeting of MKO Camp residents and their families\u2019. Iraq\u2019s Human Rights Minister mentioned the MKO in talks with three UN officials saying the problem of the MKO in Iraq is on its way to being solved now that the Albanian government has received numbers of them while other states have refused their requests for asylum. The Minister added that the government is working to bring the families of Camp Liberty residents to Baghdad for the purpose of meeting with their loved ones as part of a humanitarian mission undertaken by the Iraqi government.<\/p>\n
++ Alex MacDonald, Middle East Eye. \u2018New Iran reactor revelations highlight role of Mojahedin Khalq\u2019. \u201cThey\u2019ve been referred to as a \u201ccult\u201d and a \u201cterrorist organisation\u201d by Iran, the EU and the US at various times. But the Mujahideen-e-Khalq (MEK), also known as the People\u2019s Mujahideen of Iran (PMOI) have continued to endure as one of the longest-running militant groups opposing the Islamic Republic of Iran.\u201d In a press conference in Washington the MKO announced they have \u201cevidence of a secret facility buried deep beneath the ground in the northeast suburbs of Tehran, engaged in uranium enrichment\u2026 They stated that their information came from \u201chighly placed sources within the Iranian regime, as well as those involved in the nuclear weapons projects\u201d\u2026 In 2004 it was reported that they had given German intelligence a series of documents which seemed to prove the existence of a nuclear facility at Lavizan and enrichment-related activity at the Parchin military complex. Evidence later emerged in an expose of Israeli spying practices which suggested that some or all of the documents had been given to the group by Israel\u2019s Mossad secret service. Links between the two groups \u2013 who share a mutual enemy in the Islamic Republic \u2013 were alleged to go as far as training and arming, according to some reports.\u201d<\/p>\n
++ Mazda Parsi, Nejat Bloggers. \u2018Rearmament of the recently Disarmed Mojahedin Khalq terrorists?\u2019 \u201cWhile Maryam Rajavi tells a German newspaper, \u201dour objective can be summed up in three words: freedom, democracy and equality\u201d, how can she order the West to give their weapons back? Such contradictory ideas can be only originated from a mixed hypocritical ideology that shifts from time to time. The analyst of the American Conservative, Daniel Larison may suggest the best description of the MKO Cult: \u201cThe MEK is neither moderate nor democratic, and it seeks only the aggrandizement of its leaders. The group is understandably distrusted and loathed by most Iranians for its past record of hostilities against Iran, and it doesn\u2019t speak for any of the legitimate opposition to Iran\u2019s regime. Anyone advocating for Western support of this organization and its allies is not helping anyone inside Iran. All that MEK boosterim does is to try to whitewash a monstrous group that has killed both Americans and Iranians.\u201d By the way, is it rational to ask to rearm a recently disarmed group with a longtime background of violent acts? People should ponder and use their wisdom in facing this question.\u201d<\/p>\n
++ Nejat Bloggers, \u2018MKO disappointed by Mossad?\u2019 \u201cBinyamin Netanyahu\u2019s dramatic declaration to world leaders in 2012 that Iran was about a year away from making a nuclear bomb was contradicted by his own secret service, according to a top-secret Mossad document, reported the Guardian on Monday February 23rd\u2026 The revealing report was published by the Guardian while the Israeli leader Netanyahu is making efforts to obstruct the nuclear negotiations between Iran and the West. Of-course to achieve such an objective the Zionist regime is not alone. The Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO\/ MEK\/ the Cult of Rajavi) have been closely cooperating with Israel for years. It was an operative arm for Israel to launch spying and terrorist operations against Iran.\u201d Ismael Salami of Global Research said, \u201c\u201cAs far as I know, the group (MKO) has been collaborating with Israel for several years and has massive interactions with Mossad.\u201d\u2026 Maryam Rajavi and Netanyahu are pursuing the same path to obstruct any deal between Iran and the US. \u201cIn April 2012, a former head of Shin Bet, Israel\u2019s internal security agency, accused Netanyahu of \u201cmessianic\u201d political leadership for pressing for military action, saying he and the then defense minister, Ehud Barak, were misleading the public on the Iran issue\u201d, writes the Guardian. This is exactly what Maryam Rajavi has been seeking for many years. She has always been in accord with her new master, Benjamin Netanyahu.\u201d<\/p>\n
++ TEHRAN, Feb. 25 (MNA), \u2018UN envoy: W-Post\u2019s report on Iran\u2019s N-program \u201cfictitious\u201d\u2019. Referring to the MKO, the new permanent representative of Iran to the United Nations, Gholamali Khoshroo, has dismissed the Washington Post report on Iran\u2019s peaceful nuclear program as \u2018baseless\u2019 and \u2018fictitious.\u2019 \u201cThe radical and extremist groups which see their hefty investments on securitizing Iran\u2019s peaceful nuclear program on the verge of collapse and are witnessing the growing isolation of Iranophobic policies due to the Islamic Republic\u2019s logical approach to international developments, attempt to spread lies and launch black propaganda against the completely peaceful nuclear program of Iran,\u201d he said in the statement.<\/p>\n
++ Florida Democrat, Daily Kos. \u2018BREAKING: Amateur hour at the pro-war media, latest allegations by Mojahedin Khalq FABRICATED.\u2019 \u201cIn the wake of the embarrassing new revelations that the top Israeli intelligence agency is contradicting Bibi Netanyahu on his alarmist Iran intelligence, the well known liars, the \u201cdissident\u201d group NCRI (aka MEK), has jumped into damage control action and has released a suspiciously timed report that claims Iran has a new secret site. Countless media outlets including of course Faux News, have jumped on this as well\u2026 But it\u2019s a total fabrication. The image included in the NCRI report is actually a product shot from the Iranian safe company\u2026 This is truly amateur hour. It took only a Google \u201csearch by image\u201d to find it. Actually, I first became suspicious when I read the original report and saw the picture. They said this was for \u201cradiation\u201d\u2026 why would a radiation resistant door be made out of stainless steel? Shouldn\u2019t it be covered completely by lead? Also, these clowns supposedly infiltrated this large underground nuclear bunker, but only had like a 1990\u2032s camera phone on them? Why not more pictures or videos? Well, once you see the real picture they stole (the product shot from GMP Safe Company), you see that the original shows windows with sunlight coming in from behind the safe. It\u2019s clearly not in a secret underground bunker, but rather a warehouse which makes perfect sense for a safe\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
