The MKO’s/MEK/PMOI spokesman in the US Alireza Jaffarzadeh called the US decision “another unjustified concession” and “rewarding” the Iranian government.

Misinformation on the conditions in Iran is also like that. The Rajavi and his members are interested in misrepresenting the conditions in Iran …. the major function of these promises is for the Rajavi to keep the miserable members and convince them not to leave the Rajavi’s organization and look forward to the day that the regime is”overthrown by itself.”
..Hence, the MeK/MKO/PMOI leadership views the regional developments as in Syria and Yemen not as they really are, but as he wishes them to be.

The MEK’s Morvarid [Pearl] Operation in March 1991 targeted and killed thousands of Kurdish civilians in an attempt to crush their uprising following Gulf War I.
the MKO/MEK/PMOI authorities were not allowed to hold their alleged conference on women’s rights in public halls.

Ms. Iranpour reiterated: “the recent trip [to Iraq] has had many achievements. She said despite the MKO/MEK/PMOI Cult leaders’ efforts to confront the effects of family members affections on residents, still some of the residents replied to the families’ passions by waving hands and sending kisses. ..
Eventually under the pressure of UNHCR and UNAMI office in Iraq, the cult leaders forced to comply and the relocation process resumed at February4th, 2016. So as a group of 22 residents of Temporary Transit Location (Camp Liberty) transferred to Albania, Peyvand-e Rahayee Website reported.
Mr. Varshi defected the Mojahedin- e Khalq group….Varshi now resides in a hotel in Baghdad, Iraq. As soon as he stepped the free world, Ashur called his brother; Ghorban.
