The violent Iranian group has been characterized as a “cult.” Its violence landed them on the State Department list of terrorist organizations. It was eventually driven out of Iran, and Mojahedin-e-Khalq went on to back Saddam Hussein’s government while Iraq waged a brutal war with Iran. Fast-forward to the past decade, when a …
After the death of 52 Camp Ashraf residents who stayed there under the pretext of protecting the organization’s property the leaders called it a victory for MKO. And this story will repeat again and regardless of the lives it may cost as it is now more than a month that Liberty residents have gone on hunger strike based on an organizational decree.
German media reported of an order issued to relocate a number of members of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization aka MKO/MEK/PMOI from Iraqi Camp Liberty to Germany. The United Nation representatives and German government agreed to transfer 97 resident of Camp Liberty.

We were not allowed to leave the unit unless for specific purposes including receiving medical services or attending a meetings. I was emptied from inside. So no motivation was left except that of my mission.”..
Kennedy, along with Bolton, Giuliani and Steele have all received handsome speaking fees in the past from MEK-affiliated organizations. They were among a gaggle of former U.S. officials who lobbied the U.S. hard in recent years to take the MEK off the State Department terrorist list.
